Now, before I go any further, I'm apologising now - it's a Christmas card! Shock, horror! I don't think I've ever made a Christmas card in April before - this blogging business does strange things to your personal crafting calendar!
Anyway, over at CraftyCatz our lovely Beth has challenged us to 'The Colour Purple'! So I decided to use a digi from Wee Stamps - Mountain Lily - that I've had for a while - and not coloured yet!
I've coloured the image with promarkers and flexmarkers and added some stickles to the wings and details!
The backing papers are from First Edition with some coredinations card.
I've used a Tonic punch on the border and a Tonic snowflake punch. The sheer ribbon is from Joanna Sheen and the snowflake charm is from Pretty Little Ribbon shop. The sentiment is from LOTV.
So after the shock of making a Christmas card, I thought it worked ok!
So I hope you'll have a look at the fantastic inspiration from the DT over at CraftyCatz and then join us with your 'purple' projects!
Back soon,
Kim x
