Hello all,
Hope you are keeping well in your respective parts of the world?
Well, it is time for another new challenge over at Digi Choosday once again and remember that means a new discount code valid on selected digital items for today.
Just choose your item and then add the code at checkout - if there is no discount shown it means your product does not qualify for the discount on this occasion. Still, with so many fabulous items to choose from I am sure you will find something you like eh?
So what have I made for you this week?
Well, the DT were challenged to only use the colours Pink and Orange - a Summer Cocktail if you like, and also to make a kinetic card - so I chose a Twisted Easel card. Well to me that instantly said "Mermaid" and who better than Winnie Mermaid to showcase those fabulous colours.
The gorgeous image I have used is called Winnie Mermaid Mermazing Octopus Kisses - isn't it fabulous?
So out with my trusty Prismacolour pencils for this one - just because there are two fabulous neon colours in the set and they were just perfect for this challenge.
The stopper I used for this Easel card is one of the fabulous sentiments from the Winnie Special Moments Quotes. I just printed it out on card, made the background pink to match the theme and then added to the base with some silicone to make it stand proud. There really is a sentiment for each and every occasion in that set - I love them. I also added a little wooden seashell which I painted with acrylic paint.
I backed the image onto some orange card from my stash and the backing papers on the two main parts of the card are from the Winnie Starfish Sandcastle Papers 9 set. These papers are really lovely colours and, for me at least, they print off pretty true to colour.
I added a couple of sparkly gem strips and then finished off with some little wooden fishes and a seahorse from my stash which I painted with Distress Markers and then added some Cosmic Shimmer to them to match the colour scheme.
So there you have it folks, my pink and orange cocktail of summer.
Can't wait to see what you all come up with.
Have fun.
