Vampire Witchy Gift bag

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is our lovely Team Leader Brenda's turn to host and she would like to see 'Recycle/Upcycle'

Here is what I did, I used one of the sponsors images Vampire Witch, and decided to do a Gift Bag and as my daughter and some of her friends are Gothic, figured this will get used pretty quickly.  I coloured it with Spectrum Noirs, I had to get a new printer last week and the ink seems to be smudging a lot more than usual, so it was hard colouring it. My Recycled item is the ribbon and bow which is from a new pair of Pyjamas I got, I thought it was way too big for a card but is perfect for the gift bag.


Don't forget to head over to Allsorts for all the details of this challenge, and to check out all the fabulous inspiration from my very talented team mates.

Here are the prizes on offer:-

As you can see my favourite colour is Burgundy, I love red too but like the deepness of Burgundy.  I like it even better when teamed with vintage too.  I used a large embossing folder for the background, which was free from a craft magazine, the paper is pearlised and from my stash.

Wedding Set

Welcome to my blog this morning, the kids are off school and I don't know where my days are going. So It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.  This week is our lovely Wendy's turn to host and she would like to see 'Pearls &/or Gems'
I needed to do a commission, the requirement was a Wedding Set, and what a perfect creation to use pearls on.  I bought a new wedding stamp for this as I really liked the elegance of it, and decided not to use backing papers.  The wedding colour theme is black, gold and white, and I loved using that combo.

Here is the card, the white background card is embossed with elegant swirl embossing folder.

The candle has the happy couple's names and wedding date on the back.

Satin flowers adorn the lid and some pretty cotton lace around the bottom of the box.

And a gift bag to put it all in.

Don't forget to head over to Allsorts for all the details of this challenge, and to check out all the fabulous inspiration from my very talented team mates.
