Through the Purple Haze Challenges - I'm on the DT!!!!

Hi Everyone, I have exciting news to share with you today! As you know I've been following the Through the Purple Haze Challenge blog since it launched a few months ago. I've really enjoyed taking part in the weekly challenges, so when an opportunity came up to apply for the DT I thought I'd give it a go. I wasn't expecting anything to come of it, so was amazed when my application was accepted! It seems like a really nice team of people and the challenges coming up are brilliant so I'm delighted to be part of the team.

My first project as part of the DT is part of the Double Team Challenge where Team A & Team B go up against each other & everyone who enters gets to vote for the winning DT creation so it adds an extra spice.

The challenge this week was to follow a sketch.

Our sponsor for Team A is Stitchy Bear and I had 'Waiting for You' by Priyanka to play with. 

Here's the card I created.

Here's a close up of pretty Waiting for you

I coloured her using my Promarkers and Flexmarkers (shown with a *)

Skin - Coral, Sunkissed Pink, Blush

Hair - Tulip Yellow, Sunflower, Gold, Raw Sienna

Dress - Cerise, Shocking Pink*, Maroon

Wings - Pink Carnation, Cerise, Shicking Pink, Marooon

Foliage - Leaf greem, Bright Green, Pine

Flowers - Pink Carnation, Cerise 

Sky - Powder Blue

I added quite a few layers to add dimension. I cut the Flower Doily and Grass border on my Cougar Cutting Machine. I also designed and cut the 'Hi' sentiment and Tag on it then coloured the mirri card shocking pink to tie in with her dress.

Don't you just love my daisys? They're made by the very talented Sam of Samaflora. I've been itching to use them for a while and thought they fitted this card perfectly!

I also tried a new technique to make the sky. I had a cloud mask from Sam's Masks and Stencils and I followed her tutorial on using Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks with the foam tool to make the clouds. I've owned some Distress Inks for a while now, but this is the first time I've used them. I need to practice and master them more. For the grass at the bottom I dabbed it with Mown Grass Distress Ink on a foam tool.

Anyway enough from me today. I hope you like it and I'd love to hear what you think so leave me a little message.
