Challenge #228 - Halloween or Halloween Colours - Pink Gem Challenges

Good Morning Gemsters, today is a very sad day for me and the rest of the Pink Gem Design Team as this is our very last Challenge so this weeks theme is ideal for me to use it to get myself ready for Halloween and as I have several small grandchildren and great grandchildren to get cards made for so this is a ideal time to get them done and ready to post and I hope it is for you to, so the theme is

Halloween or Halloween Colours

and here is the choice of colours to pick from please

Unfortunately Janet Roberts of Pink Gem Designs has decided that this will be our last Challenge post and from now on she will be trading from her Etsy shop and this is

Pink Gem Designs

not only does she own the website Pink Gem Designs  but is also the designer and creator of our gorgeous images, so do go and visit her website and see for yourself what stunning and usable images, papers there are to buy.

For my own card I used one of Janets pre-designed cards and here is it.

This little lady is called "Halloween Chloe" and you will find her here as near to this design as I can find on her Etsy site. I printed her onto a stiff white card and then used the front and insert by placing these onto pieces of mauve card and then stuck them onto a base card.

The image in the center of the front was cut from another printed sheet and decoupaged up on top of the printed image already on the base card, I then chose a sentiment in fact I picked two and placed these also on to mauve card and stuck them in the two opposite corners at the top.

 Now that youv'e seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the Pink Gem Designs Challenge Blogspot and you can see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and I hope that you will take part in our  "Halloween or Halloween Colours" Challenge.

Challenge #355 - Colours of Autumn/Fall - The Paper Shelter Challenge

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, I dont know about you but here in the UK we are already showing signs of Autumn and as I live in a huge Wooded Area on the border of Wales you can image what its beginning to look like, and of course the Wild Boar are enjoying the treats digging up the sides of the road to get to the juicy worms etc, and believe me they certainly do a lot of damage if they can get into playing fields of any kind, luckily where I live they haven't ventured as we are a bit to close to busy roads otherwise I would need some very strong fences to keep them out.
Anyway this weeks theme is all about

Colours of Autumn/Fall

and we would like to see you using any of the appropriate colours on your card please.

 And you will find beautiful images over at The Paper Shelter and there's lot to choose from to. Our Sponsors are and as always our sponsers are The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website.

But don't forget they will only give you the whole amount if you have used one of their images on your card but don't worry if you haven't, they will still give you 3 digi images or your own choice if you are picked as a winner.

Over at The Paper Shelter website they have some really beautiful Autumn/Fall images and for my own choice I picked this one

This beautiful image is called "Autumn Beauty" and you will find her here, and I so agree she is a beauty, I printed her onto white card before colouring her with my copic pens, afterwards I used a square die to cut her out, and a larger one for the mount out of orange card. I also put some glitter on her wings.

The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of the same orange card, and the backing paper I used was from the same design set as the image and you find her here. On top of this I placed my mounted image in the middle and the sentiment was printed from one I googled on line and then mounted also onto a piece of orange card which was then placed in the bottom right hand corner.

After I had done this I diecut a load of leaves and placed around the mounted image and the final flourish are the leave and nut buttons which were placed in between the diecut leaves.

Now that you've seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "Colours of Autumn/Fall" Challenge.

For my own card I used this sweetheart

I decided this was a ideal image for one of my granddaughters as they are now well into their teens or at least the older ones are, this is titled "Emma in Torn Jeans" and you will find her here.
I printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her afterwards I used my rectangle die to cut her out and then used a fancy one for the mount out of pink card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card and the first mount is a pink card and the papers I have used is from "Micro Dots" and you will find it here. I printed three of the papers in pink, yellow and blue, I used a punch along each of the edges and placed them onto the mount, then used a ribbon around the whole card on the left hand side and attached it to the back.
I then placed my mounted image towards the top left and stamped a sentiment and mounted this also on a smaller fancy diecut and placed it in the bottom right hand corner. To finish of I have used some nuvo drops down the right hand side.
