Stipple challenge

One of the challenges on A Charming Place this month is stippling. I've had stippling brushes forevah, but have seldom used them for anything other than pearl-ex. I'm still not a huge fan of stippling, but I do like the softness it gives this background.

The card base is bazzill, the back panel is watercolour paper stippled with Cool Carribean, Ballet Blue and Passion Pink ink and run through the cuttlebug, Happy Harmony stamp set and a brass butterfly charm from A Charming Place.

Cool Cat card

I'm a little surprised this set is being retired, it's really quite versatile. I haven't used it a whole lot myself lately in all honesty, but I love the hip retro feel.

This card is a mish-mash of bits I had lying on my messy desk - a twinkling H2O coloured flower from SU's 'Delight in Life' SAB set, patterned papers from a Provocraft slab, cheap Michael's green cardstock for the base, and run through the cuttlebug for part of the background, purple bazzill, black checkered Offray ribbon and cool cat himself stamped in purple versacolour ink, outlined in black pen, with glitter added to his eyes and collar, and doodles around him. He's off in the mail to a purple-loving friend.
