Our sponsor for the last time this month is Fabrika Fantasy

For my card I have used a precoloured image Water fairy  

I cut the image out with a Nellies die, mounted it onto  coloured carsdstock.

The sentiment was cut with a Incredible Obesession die.

Finished it off with pearls and gems.

I will be back later to enter it in some challenges.







Thank you for visiting and hope to see you soon. Take care.

The Outlawz new colour challenge

Good morning everyone,
We have had some lovely winter days this week, not the cold wind chilling ones of the previous week. Makes one want to get out and enjoy the lovely sunny days, with some crochet or knitting to keep you company, but we can't always do what we would like.

I am a day late with my DT card for this week's colour challenge not entirely due to the lovely weather.

 We have a beautiful inspirational photo from Sharon, so there is so much to use for your project this week. The DT have made some fabulous cards to inspire everyone.

Our sponsor this month is Fabrika Fantasy 

Image may contain: 1 person     

I loved the colours from the photo and was inspired to try and make a background for my card.

I used distress inks on watercolour paper and then used an Anne's Paper Art die from Nellie Snellen to cut out the watercoloured shape and a slightly larger yellow one.

Matted these onto a dark blue cardstock.

I stamped a flower image onto the coloured diecut and embossed it with black embossing powder

Finished it off with some pearls
