Merry Christmas!

 We are at the Midway point of the July Challenge at 12 Months of Christmas.  The optional twist for this challenge is "Anything Goes"

I have used a digital paper from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  The image is from Lauretta's and the sentiment is from Bugaboo Stamps.  Coloring is with copic markers and inking with Distress Ink.  I used a Spellbinders die to cut the label and added some baker's twine.

I would like to enter:

Craft Your Passion - Think Pink
http://craftyourpassionchallenges.blogspot.co.nz/2013/10/challenge-185-think-pink.html

I have used a starry pink paper for the background.  The image is from Lauretta's and has been coloured with copic markers.  I added a little tree embellishment which I further embellished with the addition of some pink pearls.

Trimgym - Anything Goes
http://trimgymsdigistampsandimages.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/august-challenge-anything-goes.html

I have used several papers from Trimgym layered with pink cardstock.  The image is from Lauretta's and coloured in copic markers RV04, RV02, G17, G14, Y35.  The sentiment is from Desert Diva.  Die-cutting is all with Spellbinders dies - rectangle and square.  The flowers have been created using a Marianne's die and some pink paper from a paper scrap pack.

Purple Flowers

This is a bit of an unusual colour combination for a floral card but it just kinda evolved that way!

Outlawz Wednesday Challenge - Sketch
http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/sketchchallenge/forum/topics/wednesday-sketch-challenge-june-19-2013

The paper that I have used for the layering is a patterned floral paper from Bearly Mine Designs and a subtle patterned purple paper from my stash (had it for ages and is meant to be a Halloween paper I think).

The image is one from Lauretta's Digital Stamps (link below).  I have coloured the image using copic markers V17, V15, V09, V05, B23.  The sentiment is from Netty's Cards.

As embellishments, I have added a grouping of five white ribbon roses that were sprayed with Perfect Pearls Mists - Grape Fizz.  Around that I have added some light purple rhinestones (kinda representative of leaves).  I also added a purple grosgrain ribbon to one of the layers.
