As You Like It Challenge # 64 Monochrome Or Colour and WHY

Hi Crafters,

I'm back today to share my DT card for the new challenge at As You Like It. This time we are asking whether you prefer 'monochrome' or 'colour' and to add an explanation as to why you do.

My favourite is definitely 'Colour'. I love bright, rich and vibrant colours because they make me happy :-)

Fairy ATC's

Hi Crafters,

I'm popping in this evening to share my atc's that I made for our little swap group. The theme for September was 'fairies'.

Firstly I stamped and heat embossed the fairy image and sentiment, then inked the background with distress inks - Tumbled Glass, Scattered Straw and Peeled Paint, followed by Black Soot for the edges. The leafy stamp was inked with the Peeled Paint too. I then applied Versamark clear ink around the edges and glitter embossing powder.

I'm waiting for my swaps to arrive in the post and then I will be creating this months..   ...the theme is 'Halloween' so if you would like to join us then pop over...
