This
was a quick to put together card because all of the different papers
and card were in my multiple snippets bags. I was looking through
the snippets to see what I planned to use next and located all the
lilac and lavender coloured snippets.
I
used this created by me background snippet which had been coloured
with Brusho watercolour crystals and Spectrum Noir AquaTints. The
lilac shade is from purple Brusho and the gold is from Essentials
AquaTints. This lilac part was from a bigger piece of white card
that I had coloured with dark purple Brusho’s and neat gold
AquaTints. I have snippets of glitter paper and card which I have
owned for ages that I’m trying my hardest to use because I really
don’t like the glitter card or paper any more lol! I coloured my
brad by tapping it with Versafine ink pad and then using WOW EP in a
yummy dark purple.
This
Tim Holtz die is going to be used often over the years, it was a
really good investment so I’m always happy to use it. Thank you so
much for taking the time to visit and comment. I really do
appreciate it and I hope you get some time to do what you love to do
soon ttfn Karen x
