Sparkle Creations challenge

Sparkle creations challenge this week is a colour challenge, these aren't quite my colours but I had recently seen someone use the Bargello technique and it kind of inspired me.  I didn't quite follow it as my scraps weren't quite the shape I wanted so I ended up doing more of a mosaic background. I glued all the bits to thin copy paper then cut out with my square nesties before cutting a black square mount.


I coloured in a Sparkle Creations Shopping Emily with my copics before cutting her out. The pinks are the RV 21,23,25,29 group.  I originally bought the 23 and 25 and hated the colour combo but I took a risk and bought the other two and I'm really pleased I did as I love this colour combo now.  


Sorry about the photo, my skills seem to be a little lacking in that department at the moment! Don't tell my hubby, I just hope he doesn't read my blog the moment, he would be ashamed (his photos are amazing!check him out here)

Evening all, I decided I really wanted to enter more challenges this year.  I've really slacked in popping things online for people to see.  In my mission though I have decided to only focus on a few challenges, one of my faves at the moment is Sparkle Creations, I adore her stamps and I thought I would ink up one of her beautiful images, Cocktail Emily.   I adore this image, and not only for the name!  This week's challenge is to use something new; Emily is nearly new, this is only the second time I've used her! But my papers are new, love the depth of colour in these papers!

Unfortunately (or not, depending on what you think of the card!) this is a cover up type of card! The triangles in the corners are there to cover up my rubbish piercing, and the scalloped border (which btw is glittery - sorry about the rubbish photo) is there because I slipped when I stuck the dp on, it was very wonky!!! Apart from that it is my usual, stamped with memento, coloured with copics.  Although I did try using a new technique, I popped colour onto the colourless blender to create very pale tones. Oh and the sentiment is a doodlebugs rub on.
