Colour Dare #382 Monochromatic Purples

Our Colour Dare Challenge for #382 is Monochromatic purples. You are invited to participate in this challenge too. Go to the link for Colour Dare #382 and add your entry.

I decided to make a selection of purple cards with a theme for my friend who started Chemo & Radiation last week. So the cards are all uplifting messages and I pulled out a whole heap of old stamp sets and one of the new stamp sets called Keep Your Head Up

This stamp set is a charity fundraiser... With every purchase of this stamp set, all proceeds will be donated to relief efforts for fighting the Australian bush fires (AU Red Cross). It's such a great stamp and the heart makes a great random stamping pattern. It is really great to colour in with the TriBlend™ Marker Bundle

I picked out the Charcoal grey and used the two toned sides (light/dark) and the purple ribbon and grey floral patterns from an old pack. I also grabbed the purple and matching ink to the cardstock. I was able to create a set of cards all with great sentiments for someone who is ill (but useful in so many other instances too). 

Thanks so much for dropping by to check out my latest project. Hope you can join in the Colour My Heart Color Dare Challenge #382 too. I'm really interested to hear what you think about my cards, so I'd love you to leave a comment. See you again soon. If you don't have a Close to My Heart Consultant (and you're in Australia) feel free to contact me either on this blog or via my website HERE.

Colour Dare #380 Tic-Tac-Toe

Our Colour Dare Challenge for #380 Tic-Tac-Toe which coordinates lovely with our new CTMH Celebrate Today Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. You are invited to participate in this challenge too. Go to the link for Colour Dare #380 and add your entry.

I used all the colours of the Celebrate today papers because I used that gorgeous zip strip with the coloured hearts. The main colour I used was Lagoon, with Mint bubbles paper and the heart sticker that is lagoon, mint and lemon.

The Lagoon Cardstock was embossed with a preview of the Under the Sea Embossing Folder that isn't available to order until the 1st of March. wa

The Hey You heart sticker is from the Celebrate Today Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet to finish it off, I sponged with black ink around the edge to give it a bit of definition sitting on the lagoon cardstock. The You Are Loved stickers are also from this set. To finish off I put a few Clear Sparkles.

This card could be used as a friendship card, a pick-me up card, sympathy card, thinking of you card, valentines day card, or to remind your children that you are proud of them and that they are loved. So many ideas for this one card.

To photograph my card I put it on the gorgeous watercolour paper from the paper pack (shown above). So pretty. I can't wait to use this paper on a Scrapbooking page (its 12x12 size but  phooto is cropped a little). I need some whiter lighting for my photos cause they always look a little creamy white.
