Artful Times Challenge Blog - lilac & silver - with a wintery stamp

Well, I have found this amazing challenge blog with fabulous arty challenges called "Artful Times."

This week, the challenge was lilac and silver - with a wintery stamp. A perfect challenge for me as many of you know I am addicted to the colour purple!

Here is my challenge entry. 

I stamped the Stag stamp on to lilac card using black ink and made a mask of the same stamp. 

I covered the stamped image with the mask then stamped the rest of the background with the Crackleglaze stamp using clear embossing ink.
I used lilac shimmer embossing powder and heated it.

I went round the edges with distress ink.

I then layered four pieces of strong tin foil and die cut it using the Foliage Spellbinders die to create the fallen twigs.

I tore along the top edge of the paper, punched two holes and threaded wide, lilac, satin ribbon and tied knots in each end.

Ingredients: 
* Crafters Companion Coredinations lilac card.
* Indigoblu 'Crackleglaze background' stamp
* Indigoblu 'Stag Cliffhanger' stamp
* WOW lilac shimmer embossing powder
* Foliage Spellbinders die
* Jet black Archival ink
* Dusty Concord Distress Ink
