trouble, trouble... boil and bubble ...??


That's not quite how it goes but you know what I mean. This weeks challenge at Haunted Design House is Violet, blue and copper with ribbon, flourish and image of your choice.


My image of choice was one of my favorite flourishes from a Fancy Pants set. After stamping the flourish on patterned paper, I heat embossed with clear powder. This allowed me to darken the paper with black and purple ink while not losing the original colors under the embossed flourish.


My touch of copper came with the orange-y colored gems. Wait I meant to say COPPER colored gems!! Yeah, that's the ticket!


Barb has made some marvelous tweaks and additions to her challenges. One change is the addition of prizes. Who doesn't love to win goodies! If you haven't checked out her blog yet...why not? Get in on the fun and play along. It only hurts for a sec...hehe


till next time, ENJOY! the Oz
