GDT at Crafty Friends

Morning all. Anyone else contemplating putting the heating back on? It's definitely not warm here, we even had sleet last night! In the middle of June!?!? I only hope the weather improves for next weekend as it is the wedding of two dear friends of mine. We have seven more days, so there is a chance.

Onto today's post. Another card. This time as GDT for Crafty Friends Challenge blog. The third challenge after a little re-vamp.

Favourite colour combination. 

I have a few that I use but I think red and black/grey has to be on top of the list therefore those are the colours I went for here. Rick St Dennis is sponsoring the challenge this week and I chose to use the image Les Miz. I tried to show the spirit of the musical/play - I had to resort to youtube as I haven't seen it myself although the future recipient has and has declared it as one of her favourites.

Isn't she a beauty!
Coloured with Promarkers before cutting out with a "die-sire" die. Some red and black gems and roses added after attaching to one of the mats.

Some embossed and sanded, red cored, black core-dinations matted onto red glitter card. The two mat panels of DP are from the DCWV "The Immortal Love" paper stack. Red distress ink applied after distressing the panels. The sentiments are computer generated and matted onto more red glitter card after slight decoration with a "die'sire" edge cutting die.

The only trouble I have with red is taking a good picture, even with good lighting, the colours get distorted slightly.
The regular DT over at Crafty Friends have made some absolutely stunning projects as well and are really well worth a good look. In addition, there's a little extra there. but you'll have to visit to find out what it is. hehehe.
