Cheerful Stamp Pad 72: purple and yellow

Today's Cheerful Stamp Pad challenge 72 is a colour one: purple and yellow. This is being sponsored by Jelly Park who kindly supplied the design team with some digital images to use. Some of us were given halloween witch - click on the link to see this and perhaps buy it.

I don't usually do any crafting for Halloween because it's just not my thing, so I was a bit stumped as to what to do for my design team card for Cheerful Stamp Pad challenge 72. So I used the colours of the challenge and the digital image that had been supplied, coloured with spectrum noirs, with the caption generated by my dymo letratag:

The background cream gold foiled card is Hunkydory and I also used offcuts of HD purple and gold foiled card. The strips of yellow and purple card on the left were made with my gelli plate, acrylic paints and stencils. Stars from stash.

The colours used are good for Color my heart 66:

The Glory of Christmas challenge 19: homemade background

It's time for a new challenge on The Glory of Christmas, so for challenge 19 we're asking to see homemade backgrounds. Please click on the link and join in with our challenge. You might like to make your own background with some embossed card or stamping ... or any other method that produces a homemade background.

For my design card I used an Embossalicious 'seasonal music' embossing folder run through my eBosser using some white pearlescent card and brushed the embossed card with broken china distress ink. The snowman is Mr Snowman, a Spellbinders shapeability, cut twice to produce the background as well as the foreground brushed with the distressing ink. The glittery ribbon is some that I've had for quite a while and the Winter Wonderland sentiment is one that has been in a box for ages.

This is also another card for my own CHNC challenge 148: music.
