About Me

Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom
I have been crafting since May 2008, when in desperation to find an unusual birthday card for my Mum, I gave up looking in the shops and decided to have a go at making my own. I soon realised that crafting is addictive and I haven't brought a card since. In 2011 I completed my certificate in papercrafting as a result of the work I did as part of the course I started entering challenges on line and in magazines. I applied for design teams and also started making samples for Ooh La La Creations for their shows on Create and Craft. I have now completed my Diploma in professional crafting and most recently been runner up in the Papercrafter of the Year 2013 a competition run by Papercraft essentials magazine, I don't have a particular style I like to use elements from lots of styles and techniques, although I do love all things vintage. In 2014 I started to move more towards scrapbooking to take care of the huge family archive of photographs that were stored in my attic. I have continued cardmaking and Scrapbooking through 2015 and 2016 but have also become interested in off the page projects. I hope to be able focus on these in the future.

Twelve down Twelve to go

So this week finds us at the midway point of the Challenge at Through the Purple Haze for an incredible bundle of crafting goodies. The Theme this week is Halloween and I used a dig stamp from the Simply Betty Spooky Hollow collection.


I coloured the image using a mixture of  Spectrum Noir and promarkers

Skin FS1, FS3, TN2, PP2
Hair Promarkers Cool Grey 3, 4, 5 and Shale
Clothes OR1 and Bright Orange, LV3, PL4, PL5

The purple background paper is from My Craft Studios Essential Backgrounds CD and the white spider web paper is from Ooh La La's Faithful Friends CD.

I didn't have a spider web die so I drew one free hand on white card and cut it out by hand using decoupage scissors. I stuck it t the top left of the card and then used stickles iridescent glitter glue over it and as the thread for my spider to crawl up.

I also used glitter glue on my image and as the flashes coming from her wand.

The bright Green ribbon was from my stash and the pumpkins, bats and spider were from a bag of table confetti that I picked up in my local supermarket last year.

I am entering this card into the following challenges
