Pen and Paperie: Sadie

Be not sick too late, nor well too soon

I have the honour of being a guest DT at Through the Purple Haze challenge this month and today is my first post for this week’s anything goes challenge featuring an image from the sponsor Lacy Sunshine’s Sadie.

Now did you think that I didn’t colour up Sadie? Surely not, for that wouldn’t have been much fun and this is definitely a fun card. All it takes is to pull gently on the handle on the top to give Sadie back her colour.

Pretty clever, isn’t it?

I followed a tutorial from Keren of Altered Ego; Keren has been kind enough to post up tutorials and patterns for a range of fab card designs. Go check out her blog and her great take on this secret slider card.

To make up my card I took some inspiration from Die Cut Diva’s where they have an inspirational photo posted as their challenge theme. Being an Aussie myself the colours of the rosellas and bush were very familiar and worked well for a get well card.

I’ve used my favourite embellies, flowers, to make up my card. Lovely sunny coloured ones to help brighten someone’s day who is feeling, well, off colour. With my flowers I am entering my card in the current challenges at Allsorts and Sweet Stampin’ (got the stamp part covered too).

Hopefully my card has inspired you to try something a bit different, even if it is just a different type of card like mine. If so, why not join in the fun over at Through the Purple Haze. The current challenge will run for a week and, as always, there are some lovely prizes on offer.
