Twinkling Tuesday and a Hijack.............

Yes, I have kind of personally hijacked the colour challenge for today's Twinkling Tuesday challenge.

I don't have those exact colours and that is not so bad, but I did add another colour, as you can see. I'm going to blame my SEI designer paper because it had pink in it so I felt I had to add it.

And besides (lots of excuses!) I was using my new Shady Tree image, Artsy Blooms and I had to colour it some sort of colour! Truth is, colour challenges and I sometimes have a spat, but I won today.




Actually I did take a picture of this card horizontally too, and it really didn't look so bad that way either - the sentiment "bloom" looked better, but then the flower was sideways.

I have decided that I need to use up stuff that I have received or bought but never use, so I dug out my white Glittered letter thickers and adhered them to my cardstock and then sprayed them with Tattered Angels Honeydew Mist and Vintage Pink glimmer mist. What a sparkle! and I get to feel what it is like to actually use my products .....and it feels good!!

I punched the edge with the Martha Stewart punch that I got from Wal-Mart- which didn't work all that well at first. I think you have to start those babies with some plain old computer paper and then work your way up to thick cardstock. I don't think it will be the first punch I grab next time!

I coloured the image with copics and then trimmed around it to pop it up onto the card. It was really too bright so I sprayed it with the glimmer mists also. I used the honeydew mist on the leaves and stem and the vintage Pink onto the flower petals. It didn't tone it down but it actually brought out the colour more and what a shimmer and shine!

I added some ribbon and some Hero Arts Gems to finish it off! Don't forget to head over to the Twinkling Tuesday blog and then off to the other designers challenges!! They will probably have all played by the rules and that's a good thing !!
