A Colour Splash and Candy Winners

Hi Everyone,
 I just had to play along with this weeks Play Date Cafe Colour splash and my crafty morning turned out to be not so crafty, so I've only just finished making my card :0)



This is one of those cards that looks better in real life but you can just about make out the camouflaged people on the newsprint background in the first photo !

The paper dolls are a Dienamics die which I've snipped into groups of four, arranged them and then stamped the Hero Arts newsprint background onto them and slightly inked the edges with Black Soot Distress ink. I stamped the bkgd again onto white card and then used foam dots to stick the dolls over the same piece of bkgd text!
I ran the die through again with black card and snipped off one doll to glue on top of the line up and added a pink heart gem.
A couple of mats and a sentiment, it was finished ..... not sure if they are too well camouflaged now!!!

Does this show them better..... I'm glad it turned out how I imagined it :0)





Now onto my Blog Candy winners and I want to say thanks to all you guys for the lovely comments you left me, I wish I could send you all a little something but I'm afraid three people it has to be and Mr Random .Org shuffled the numbers and came up with....

Ann Y

Kate

and last but not least
Marie

Congratulations ladies :0) 
Please can you email me on jemullens@btinternet.com so I can sort out mailing the candy to you.
It's fun having a giveaway, I'll try not to leave it too long before I have another one next time :0)

Right then, school stuff to organise for the morning not to mention an untidy craftroom , best get cracking then.... thanks for calling by :0)

  1. This is a truly unique card. I enjoyed hearing your description, and then trying to find those little people. I'll bet it looks even cooler in person. I think I need that little die now....

    Well done to your candy winners. How did you get your Random Org thingy to post with the winning number on? It kept disappearing when I tried.

    I am so sorry I have been AWOL for so many of your lovely creations.

  39. p.s. Thanks for the sweet comments.
    The ink you were asking about is actually by ColorBox, frost white. It is a pigment ink, and so far has shown up fairly well.

    Take care!
