Spooky

 The Tuesday colour challenge at Outlawz is based on the colours and a Halloween theme

I chose a cute Halloween cat image from Cricut Design Space designed by Digital Gems

I changed the colours to match the colour theme and cut on mixed card stock, including glitter card, on my Cricut Explore 4.  The layered image is then mounted on yellow paper and a white card. The contents of the cauldron and the cats eyes and whiskers are glow in the dark card.

November's challenge will be the last in the current format, big changes are coming up on Outlawz in the new year.

I do like to be beside the seaside

 The Tuesday Colour challenge for June is based on this image

The image reminded me of these beach huts at Scarborough in North Yorkshire

Straight away I knew I had some stitching thread with those colours combined. I have a stitched pattern I have used before and considered using, it has a palm tree and a deckchair and I thought I could do the deckchair in the stripes, but then I saw a beach hut pattern at Form-a-lines stitched in the colours, perfect for this challenge.

I stitched the image with Trimits Jester metallic embroidery thread, the mounted on pink card (my last sheet), with yellow and blue backing. I couldn’t decide whether to add wording, like life’s a beach or I do like to be beside the seaside, but decided to leave it blank as wording would be easy to add if required.

Looking forward to the next challenge, it’s an interesting one.

Colour wheel

This month sees me on the design team in another Outlawz group challenge, Tuesday colour. The challenge changes monthly and always has a colour theme.  For April the theme is a colour wheel.

The item created must use either 2 cool colours from top of wheel and 1 warm from bottom, or vice versa.  I chose to use yellow, orange and green.  I used a 6 layer mandala die and alternated the colours and mounted on a backing paper using same colours.  The die is an Apple Blossom die 

I did actually create two cards, but this was my favourite to share for the challenge inspiration.

This is the other one, which reminds me of Leeds United colours and may appeal to fans.  I live in Leeds, but do not follow the team.  This is made with another Apple Blossom die
