Through The Purple Haze - #27

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I am so excited today as it's my birthday & today I'll be the proud owner of a new melt pot, yippeeee & to top it all off I'll have a cameo in the next few days too, oh this year is looking good so far :)

To keep me in good mood I am happy to say it's the turn of team A to bring you projects & loveliness for 

Through The Purple Haze

& this week we are sponsored by

Sassy Studio Designs

& the lucky winner will get to choose 4 digis from the store, good hey.

So, our theme this week is

"Love Is In The Air"

& here is my make

I got to play with this fab image called "French Maid"

I decided to make an easel card as I haven't made one in a long time & I wanted the image to pop. My DP is from Papermania. The red & black card were offcuts from my bit box. I die cut a heart & stamped onto it in black memento

I ran some silver mirror card through an embossed folder & cut out some of the hearts, I think they look a little like charms. I used peel offs for my sentiment

My image was coloured with my, now complete except for limited edition, promarkers. I used all the Cool Greys & Black. Her skin is my go to combo of Coral, Sunkissed Pink, Blush & Baby Pink

The reds I used were Burgundy, Cardinal Red & Ruby. I added highlights of glitter to the shoes

& there ya have it.

The Stamping Chef - NR Mirror Mirror.

Good morning beautiful people, it's a cold one here in County Wicklow, but to brighten this grey day we have this week's new release from

The Stamping Chef

& as usual it's a beauty, she's called Mirror Mirror & you can find her here

Now before I share my make with you I want to remind you to pop by the blog to check out all the fun stuff going on for the 1st birthday of TSC & if you aren't already a member of our Facebook group, you can find us here

So, here is my make.

I adore her. For my card I used black cardstock as my mats & layered red cardstock onto it. The red had been stamped (for the back layer) & the top layer has a mask used on it. I used black soot distress ink.

I cut out a piece of coredinations with a die, ran it through an embossing folder & sanded it back. I then tied a bow & added it to one corner, using card candi in another.

I used my promarkers to colour the image. I then cut it out & mounted it onto the die cut, & there you have it. I kept it quite simple as I thought I'd let the image do the talking so to speak 

Thanks so much for stopping by, I really do appreciate it.

The Stamping Chef New Release - Leg or Breast

It's Friday so that means that as well as the weekend being in sight it's time for a New Release from 

The Stamping Chef

The lovely Tamara has brought us another fantabulous image this week, she's called

Leg or Breast & you can find her here & for this weekend only you'll be able to get her with 20% off, great isn't it :)

& so here is my make

I found some digi papers that had a turkey on them & thought they'd be perfect. 

I layered them onto mats & wrapped some satin ribbon around one of the layers.

I then die cut lots of flourishes & leaves, I cut too many cos I didn't know how I wanted it laid out, I'm sure most of you do that too. Aw sure though, they won't go to waste.

She's been coloured up with my pen of choice, promarkers. I struggled with the colours for the turkey, but ended up using raw sienna, gold & mustard, with a touch of buttercup.

So there you have it, I hope you like what I have done with her.
