I Like Traffic Lights....

This week The Game Challenge is 1, 2, 3....Redlight!(or as I know it Traffic Lights)

We have been asked to make an ATC(s) using the colours Red/Green/Amber.

When I read 1...2...3..I thought it was going to be the rhyme about catching fish, and it so happened that Collage Obsession are asking for items incorporating fish :D So I downloaded their free images and used them for my ATCs.

I have some clear plastic ATC blanks...

I added red/yellow/green inktense colour to the b/w image of an angler...

Used TH distress inks Firebrick red/Mustard seed/Peeled paint to colour a piece of backing paper...

and built up the layers on the reverse of the ATC blanks(starting with fish)

The numbers I had already stamped onto tracing paper for another project.

The images are still a bit cloudy as the glue layers are still drying. 

I am also linking these ATCs to Anything Goes Challenge #72 Let's not be Square(cos they have rounded corners lol)

Enjoy :D XXX

Black and White

I haven't made a card for Anything Goes Challenge Blog for ages, so I've made this one especially for them :D. The theme is simply "Black and White"

I used an embossing folder by Indentz(actually it's debossed), then highlighted with a little black ink. Stamped some simple flowers and added black pearls for the centres. Mounted onto matt black card, which I've added faux stitching to with a white sakura pen.

Hope you like it :D XXX

Butterflies !

I realised I haven't used any Butterflies on my cards for a while now, so I thought I'd make a card for Flutter By Wednesday's Challenge#124 "sparkle and shimmer".

I've stamped the butterflies with metallic ink and embossed with holographic EP. I used the same process for the centre circle, which is cut with a Nellie Snedden frame di. The layout was inspired by Anything Goes Challenge#18 "Going Round in Circles"
