Betty’s been busy
in her boudoir again and there is an awesome new collection of images ready for
your colouring pleasure, Betty BOOdoir, and my first card features the sexy
Spirited Betty.
To make up my
card I followed the sketch over at Creative Craft Cottage, I also picked up the
three flowers from the inspiration photo and added them to the corner with some
other bibs and bobs. I wanted to create
a night time inspired background with a hint of magic in the air so I selected
some suitable papers and sprinkled on some Fran-tage. With my embossing I am entering this in the
current challenge at Creative Card Crew.
I’ve also taken up Crafting Musketeers’ challenge of 1,2,3 with my one
image, two different embossing powders and three different patterned papers (I
also have the three flowers and three kinds of embellishments so not sure if I’ve
disqualified myself!).
My second card
features the sizzling Devilish Betty.
This one follows
the sketch at Cheerful Sketches and I’ve tried to keep it fairly simple as I’m
actually giving this one to a male friend as a birthday card. I’ve used my Fran-tage and embossing powders
again to make the background behind Devilish Betty, along with some inking over
the top. I’ve had the Ranger embossing
powder in my stash for a long time, I tend to use my Fran-tage for most
embossing so it was good be able to pull this one out and finally use it. With my embossing and stash powder I am
entering this in the current challenge over at Clear It Out. I haven’t played along at Through the Purple Haze for a while but I couldn’t resist their current optional twist of femme fatale,
not when I had such a perfect image as Devilish Betty for the theme.
And just when you
thought there couldn’t be any more gorgeousness in a single day at Simply B Stamps there comes along another fantastic Halloween collection, this time from the
Betty Boo collection, and I am sharing Who’s Your Mummy Betty.
For this card I’ve
followed the current sketch over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, which had just a
perfect element for adding some ‘bandages’ to compliment the image. Inky Chicks had an awesome inspirational
image up that really helped me decide on how to colour Betty and pointed me
in the direction of my paper choices, the colours on the inspirational image
matched perfectly with the G45 Steampunk Spells collection. The colour combination also happens to be
that of a friend’s football team so this will be his Halloween card this year,
which is why I went light on the embellies and the feminine frippery I usually like
to add to my cards. As this is a
Halloween card I am also entering it in Addicted to Stamps’ current challenge.
There are two
other equally beautiful images in the Betty BOOdoir collection plus an fantastic haunted house and another three in the Betty Boo collection, so head on over to the SBS blog
for all the details and check out what all the other awesome DT gals have done
with the images. You can find their
blogs at the end of this post, in the side bar and on the SBS blog.
