Colo{u}r Me Creative & Basic Grey Challenges

Good morning! We have a new challenge over on Colo{u}r me Creative - Winged Things with Butterfly Inspiration. You don't necessarily have to use butterflies, you can use any winged thing. 

We are being sponsored by the very lovely Zoe from Make it Crafty and she has kindly given the DT some fabulous images to work with. I have merged 3 images together to create my scene - Notti, Snap Dragon Garden and Whimsical Mushroom. 

 I kept my layout very clean and simple so as not to take away from the image. I've coloured the image using copic markers - way too many to list - and created the sky with Tumbled Glass distress ink and a large brush. 

The papers are from one of my My Mind's Eye's new collections, Lost & Found2 "Breeze" and I've machine stitched them down onto dark blue cardstock from The Paper Mill. The fabric strip and flossed button are from my stash. 

And of course no winged image is complete without some Star Dust Stickles applied to make their wings magic ;)

Basic Grey Challenges 

This week on Basic Grey Challenges we have a free for all .. yep, Anything Goes this week.. as long as you use Basic Grey products somewhere on your creation that is ;) 

I got some new Sassys in the mail this week and have been having lots of fun inking them up! This little beauty is called City Girl.

My papers are scraps of Basic Grey 'Granola' that I had left. They are usually one of my GoTo boy papers but I followed the sketch over on The Sugar Bowl and they have an optional colour theme of Blue, and I thought these papers worked well with the blue image. I used a scrap of white card and my MS Cornice punch to do the border work.

3 Cards - 2 Challenges

I couldn't decide between 2 colours of cardstock when I decided to do the Papertake Weekly Challenge, so... seeing as I was going to do the Magnolia Vs. Stampavie challenge also I decided to use the same patterned paper and but a different cardstock on each card. I was amazed at how that one element changed the whole look of the colour scheme. I also used the same colour inks to colour both images.

So this is the one I made for Papertake Weekly (using the hot pink card!!)
"Onto this weeks challenge which is to use spots and stripes on your project - you can make anything you like for the PTW challenge so yes to all scrapbook pages and altered items!"


And I made this one for the Magnolia Vs. Stampavie challenge.. (using Pear Bazzil Cardstock).
"*Week 21* A SKETCH FOR YOU - our Michelle has done a wonderful sketch for this weeks challenge".


Card ingredients:
Papers: MME Laundry Line
Distress inks (images and distressing)

Ribbon, Flowers & brads from my own stash.


This next card is one I made.. just because I wanted to, lol. I used the gorgeous Confirmand Matthew from Whiff of Joy. I just love how these BG Granola papers work so well together.
