Leave a Little Sparkle ...

      It's time to share the card I made for the June challenge at Beccy's Place, and I was inspired by one of Beccy's sentiments which I merged before printing with her lovely "Hydrangea" image.  The theme this month is the usual "Anything Goes with a Beccy's image" but the optional theme she offered was "Doodling."

     I colored the flower with my ProMarkers and then added white and purple glitters to the blossom.  I doodled the stitching around the edges with a purple gel pen.  The little mulberry-paper flower came from Recollections and I used a white gel pen to accent the center.

     This is a very CAS, single-layer card with lots of white space.

Halloween Night

      I'm doing my best to get back into playing particular challenges which have always been favorites of mine and which have a 'progressive' element to them.  Near the top of that list is Beccy's Place which isn't a true progressive challenge but we are required to use an image from Beccy's and she provides a freebie each month.  You aren't required to use the freebie - you can use any of her images and my collection of them is rather large.

     For this month, I used four of Beccy's silhouette images put onto a background dp (also from Beccy's Place) and I added a sentiment of my own.  I sized the paper to 5.5" x 5.5", then copied and pasted the silhouette images (Agatha, the tall witch, was reversed.)  The silhouettes are jpg files, so when they were merged onto the dp, there was that white background behind each silhouette.  The white rectangles made the silhouettes and the sentiment pop off the background.

     I printed the entire thing onto white CS.  I used a "Satin" ProMarker to color the white rectangles so they wouldn't look quite so 'bright white.'  Kind of visually interesting for a single layer card, don't you think?
