Because I Care!

We are sharing our favourite colour at

 Cut It Up Challenge for our New Theme.

Purple never really shows up well in photographs

which is a shame as this card looks stunning IRL.

Unfortunately this card was made for a

long time craft friend who recently lost her Mum.

I used metallic card stock, inking my die cut flowers

in a few shades of purple. Die cut,

adding purple c/s behind the flowers

and again the metallic card stock as base.

The sentiment is so appropriate.

Head over to our Blog and check out what colour the

Design Team showcased for your pleasure

then be inspired and add yours to this challenge.

A 'Winter' Snowfall...

It's a 'Winter' Theme for Word Week at Just Us Girls

chosen by our Host Carol M.

I went full tilt with my card showing off

a very Wintery Scene.

Off course you would know the background is 

created with Lindy's 'Magical's -

Black Orchid Silver and Screamin Banshee Black

to name a few.

Die cut my trees with grey c/s and one with kraft

then splattered them with textured sand paste for the snow.

Flicked lots of white ink for more 'white stuff'.

Sentiments cut from kraft stock with added 'snow'.

Added a few stars and didn't realize until I 

photographed it that with all the snow falling on the trees

there had to be snow on the ground - so added that

after I adhered it to gray card base - 

but you wouldn't have know that if I didn't mention it eh!

Lucky I didn't mess it up.

Our Guest Leslie and the Team have created a

'Winter Wonderland' of inspiration over on Our Blog

so head over and check them out and

come play and add yours too.
