~ So lets get down to business ~

For this week, we'd like you to use the colour combination of Purple and Yellow (Dusk to Dawn)... here's my take on it -

Here I have used this cute Hangler Stangler image I received in a mixed swap a little while ago, I think he is so cute! I coloured him with my Copic Ciao's and highlighted him with my Inkssentials Opaque pen. I cut him out using my Scalloped Square Nestie, I placed another square nestie cut shape the same size and just made a 'shadow' with it. The image looked a little sqewiffed so I cut a triangle out and used it on the opposite corner.

The papers are all from Bearly Mine Designs - Designer Extreme Vol I and II

Here's an up close picture of the Hangler Stangler, I'm not sure which Ink Pad was used, but it did Smudge a little, I hope its not too noticeable! :o)

I carried the image to the inside of my card as the lady I received them off had done stamped heads on all the full images she sent me too. So I coloured him again with Copics and blended the bottom purple with the blender pen to make it fade. I cut it out on the nesties again, and a larger one for the back ground.

As there was a gap at the side, I thought I'd have a play again with some Wire and Beads. So this is what I came up with.



I have purposefully left the card with out a sentiment as I'm not sure what occasion it could be used for, so I thought I'd leave it in my collection as a note card! That way I can write what ever message inside and accompany it with a letter of some kind!


Thank you for popping by and having a look at my card today, I hope you have fun coming up with one of your own.

Dont forget - you have to be in it, to win it and this week we have some fabulous candy for the winner of this challenge - Pictures are on the Stampin' for the Weekend blog !
