Burst of Colors

Hello all! I hope you all had a fab weekend and are ready for our new Belles 'n Whistles challenge starting today! It's my turn to host the challenge and I thought I let you decide what colors you want to use... Pick your Favorite Color / Color Combination is our theme this time! Use one color or several, whatever your favorite is! Looking forward to see all the beautiful color combinations! And here is my challenge creation. I decided to go with a brown-black combo for my 'spooktacular' card.  The sweet image is called Little Witch with Broom and available in the Belles 'n Whistles store. The cute little witch is colored using Copics. DP is from an older MME collection I found in my stash. The spiderweb is created using a Memory Box die. Sentiment is a stamp I found at Michales in the $1 bin. All other embellies are from my stash.   Thanks for visiting me today and hope to see you over at our  Belles 'n Whistles challenge blog

Happy Saturday Everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend! My card for today is one of my creations which were published in the last Whimsy Inspirational Magazine Issue 2 in August. The cute mermaid stamp is by Crissy Armstrong, called ' Journey into the Sea' and was released by Whimsy in August. I stamped onto kraft card stock and coloring was done using Prismacolor Pencils, no blending medium was used. The sentiment is from the Whimsy Vintage Transportation sentiment set by Raindrop Echo Designs . DP is from Basic Grey ‘Lauderdale’ collection. The flourish die is from the Whimsy Shapeology collection. Here's a close-up on the image and you can see the background shimmering golden. I used some gold metallic rub-on to get a shimmering gold effect for the background. It's just hard to see on the photo. This picture was still taken with my old camera.  **************************** REMINDER: On Wednesday (Sept 14th), Whimsy
