Cute Card Thursday 'Primary Colours' Challenge

The challenge at Cute Card Thursday is to use primary colours on your card. I think my card might just about be ok as I have used mainly red, a little blue on the flower and Edwin's jeans and there is a tiny bit of yellow on the flame in the lantern!!
To make the little scene I stamped Edwin With Christmas Lantern onto the the label which I cut using the Story Book Cartridge and the Cricut. I then masked Edwin and stamped the Winter Fence so it looks like it is in the background. I coloured the image with Distress Inks and added some Glimmer Mist to Edwin's wings and Glamour Dust for some sparkle. The flowers and swirls are cut with EK Success punches and the pine branch is from McGill. I am really enjoying colouring with Distress Inks, although I'm sure the Copics will reappear again soon!
Have a good Thursday!

I do hope you will be able to join us this week for 1 last time.

TMTA Autumn

I decided to have a play with my Alcohol Inks today, it must be about a year since I last had a 'mess' with them, you should see the colour of my hands, but they are great fun to play with!!! The beautiful stamp is from Crafty Individuals and I decided to use the background (which is much shinier than it looks in the photo) and image to make an ATC for this weeks TMTA challenge which is Autumn. I can't believe how many wrens there are about at the moment which is fab as they are 1 of my favourite birds.
