Top Tip Tuesday #58

Good Top Tip Tuesday Morning







Did you all have a 'Spooktacular' Halloween last night - I hope so and if your Trick or Treat projects last week were anything to go by you all had fun too :)
We hope you enjoyed out Tipper Week too - we do love to share our Top Tips with you all.



This week our Challenge for you is....



'Make Your Own Papers or Background!'


Our wonderfully talented Samantha has written a fun tutorial for you
...Background papers with Impressibilities!





Our fab sponsors for this week are...






Prize - 2 Digi Images



and


Karen's Doodles


Winner will receive 3 digis from Karen's doodles of their choice.




We had some gorgeous Digi images to play with this week from Karen's Doodles and I chose the gorgeous Fairy Fun for my card.......

She's not s'posed to be a Christmas Fairy but dressed in the right colours she looks pretty seasonal, don't you think?


I made my background with a wad of 'Bubble-Wrap' as a stamp! How cool is that!
I used Brilliance Ink in 'Moonlight White'. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out too!


...and of course I just had to write a suitable sentiment in Word!
The sweet little Digi fairy was coloured using Promarkers and I'm just loving the extra fine nibs you can now buy for them - thing is I've only got 6 at the moment so have to be selective with my fine colouring until I get more!!!

So get those inks/chalks/mist sprays/etc out and start making some backgrounds - we can't wait to see them!



Some Challenges I'd like to enter my card into....

Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

Pollycraft Monday - Anything Goes

Papertake - Anything Goes

Carisma Cardz - Anything Goes

Winter Wonderland - CaS Christmas

PCJ - Use a Digi
