Black, Lime, and Lilac


I wasn't sure about the black, lime and lilac colour combo which is this weeks C.R.A.F.T challenge until I coloured one of my new Sweet Pea stamps (Ching Chou Kuik's 'The Serene Night')  with it and I love these colours together!

 I've followed the sketch from Truly Scrumptious and made my own bps using distress inks, cosmic shimmer mica powders and some glimmer mists for the Crafty Cardmakers Challenge which is 'Inky fingers'. My fingers are well and truly inky now lol. I've distressed the edges of the papers and the black mats with my craft knife. I've added some little black gems and a flower made from some bits of handmade paper coloured with the same inks and scrunched up.

Thanks for looking. I'm supposed to be painting in the bathroom but postie has just delivered some goodies from the Altered Element so the decorating may have to wait lol
