It's week three of the challenges over at Through The Purple Haze Challenge Blog. The current week's challenge is about using favourite colours and is being sponsored by Simply Betty but the big prize that's up for grabs is completing all the challenges leading up to the 16th December.
My favourite colours? That's a toughy. Black/grey, brown, dark reds, dark greens, purples all feature in my normal "go-to" colours normally. So that's where I went on this little romantic card.
The image is, of course Simply Betty, from her Steampunk range, Amaranth and Archie.
Coloured with promarkers before masking and distress inks applied. Matted onto black cs.
The base paper is from DCWV, Heritage collection and has been stamped with the words "Immortal Love" from Visible Image.
Matted onto more black cs.
Red organza ribbon overlaid with black lace then black satin ribbon added. The ends of the bow secured after twisting them. A couple of charms added to the centre with a jump ring.
I would like to enter this card into the challenge over at
