About Me

My photo
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.

A bit of Bingo at Through the Purple Haze

This weeks challenge at Through the Purple haze centres round the bingo grid below



I chose Flowers bling and purple and her is what I have come up with


The papers and image are from the MCS 6th Anniversary CD Elegant Ladies CD. I changed the colour of one of the papers from pale pink to purple using teh MCS graphics programme. The flowers and leaves are hand cut from a MCS paperstash pad and I shaped them using a ball tool. I added some black gemstone flourishes, and the butterflies are made from Martha Stewart Paper Clay aand dusted with cosmic shimmer mica powder and then glazed with glossy accents.





I used the main background paper inside the card as well and used the digital punch option to add the circle that contains teh sentiment to teh right hand page.

I am entering this card in the following challenges
