Back to Basics and Beyond - Inky backgrounds

Hi,
Today is a new challenge at Back to basics,   this fortnight we would like to see Inky backgrounds.
This has been a little out of my comfort zone,  I have a limited pallet of colours in ink pads, I used Versa mark ink on an embossed card using the embossing folder Extra Loren by Couture creations.   I patted the ink pads over the embossed surface.
Cut an fairy die using a Signature Fairy die and also ivy die by the same make,   the blue flowers die was a freeby from a magazine.
I glittered her wings and wand with silver glitter and place silver drops in the flowers centers.    I added a butterfly to the card.  this was a die cut that was sent to me some time ago and I cant remember who sent it,  so thank you if you know who you are.

We would be delighted to see you are there is a the Back to Basics and beyond challenge blog and here is a link to the blog

Hugs

CD Sunday Challenge - No Pattern Papers

Hi,
That fortnight went quick and here we are another CD Sunday Challenge this time its Meg's turn to choose and its No Pattern Papers.
For this challenge I used an image from the Pamela West CD by Joanna Sheen,  I matted the image onto purple card matching the colour of the flowers, I used an ivy die by Joanna Sheen placed on opposite corners of the image in the same cream card.
The image was put on an embossing folder by Couture Creations - Extra Loren from the Elegance Collection on cream card, I used a pink card as a base,  in the image there is a splash of pink which matched the base card, finished off with a matching ribbon down the side, and three matching gems.
I have not decided what occasion I will use the card for so it has been left blank for now.

CD Sunday challenge now has a Facebook page for those who would like to enter the challenge and do not have a blog,   here is a link to the page

I hope you will visit the CD Sunday Challenge site, and remember if you want to enter the challenge you must use something from a CD no matter how small and let us know which CD you used.  Here is a link to CD Sunday Challenge blog  we would be pleased to see you.

I hope you are having a lovely weekend
