Creative Colors Challenge #8

Wishing you all a very happy Tuesday evening.

We have a new Creative Colors Challenge & once again Archana has selected a beautiful palette of colors - Dark Pink + Olive Green + Dark Purple PLUS Fussy Cutting

 This one is going to be difficult, such bold colors in a card, I thought! 

Here is the fusion of India ethnic colors with a lovey dovey  turtle digi. 

 

This digi is by our sponsors Rick St dennis Digital Stamps.

Create Something Catchy Challenge #2

Good Morning Friends & welcome April!!

We are back with a new challenge at Create Something Catchy Challenge #2. Below is the inspiration picture for this month - 

Here is my interpretation of the image - 

• To make this card I first stamped the hearts with the Kaisercraft stamp set using versamark, on white CS.
• Heat embossed the image with super fine clear embossing powder (Ranger). 
• Used a medley of distress ink colors - picked raspberry, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, mowed lawn & salty ocean over the image.
• Spritzed the inked background with a mister & then used a baby wipe to clear the colors over the image. 
• This was then glued under the negative  heart die cut in the cardstock. I have used foam glue dots to add some depth.
