My card:
A purple panel with a WPlus9 circle cut out, which was then backed by a watercolored panel in yellows and greens. A LF 'hello' die in a muted silver scrap. Some doubled up sequins, and a little kitty cut with my Silhouette. The purple is old, and this is actually the 'back' side. It's sort of like a mulberry paper, only different. I'm also going to link this up to Lawnscaping Challenge, where we're to make the sentiment our focal point.
Next I want to pop a card into Lesley's The Challenge.
Made a Christmas card.... I know, right?!
Pretty vellum paper I received for my birthday!! It's from SU, and I couldn't wait to delve into it. A WPlus9 circle with Silhouette snowflake and one little sequin. An EH sentiment and MFT flag dies. scraps of black. Gotta run, already I've been too long winded. Happy dances everyone.
Wow that vellum is gorgeous! Love how you've used the purple too - very halloween! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteSimply an elegant creation Bev to raise awareness through our creations all over the world! Love that watercolored circle panel alone with purple. And i love your black and white creation too! The vellum is very pretty, is it already printed or you stamped over it, little confused. Love that snowflake!
ReplyDeleteSpooktacular! How do you have such an awesome way with Halloween cards? Last night, I finally set some Halloween stuff on my crafting desk. And then it stared at me and I got scared (or just lacked mojo, one of the two).
ReplyDeleteBev - you are bright spot in this blogosphere. You're amazing. You're awesome. You're incredible. (I thought if I made your head a little bigger your migraine might go away). :)
Two sweet cards, Bev!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the migraines...feel better soon! Hugs
