Purple and Green for Let's Craft and Create Challenge #217 for the 5th of March, 2025

 

For this month's challenge at Let's Craft and Create Challenge Blog, we have the optional theme of

Purple and Green

So, here is my card:

I was looking through images that had already been stamped and trying to fit the purple and green theme and came up with the idea of Swimsuit Marci swinging! I received Swimsuit Marci from La-La Land Crafts as part of a Mini Album Virtual Class, so I followed the colouring of the wonderful Irina, except I used purple (V22, V25, V28) and green (YG01, YG05, YG09) Copics, instead of the blue and pink.

Here is a close-up of the colouring before she was fussy cut:

I then adhered a piece of the Summer Vacation Paper on to a Kraft square card from Envelope Solutions.

I die cut the Manger Die from Kraft cardstock and die cut the legs a second time, as I needed a bit more length! I die cut the Hello Swing Die also from Kraft cardstock - this die was originally from the March 2023 KOTM.

Then I adhered the manger together, with the extra legs and attached it to the card with foam tape. I attached Marci to the swing and used a combination of foam tape and score tape to attach a swinging Marci on to the card.

I stamped the sentiment from Marci on a Swing Rubber Stamp (also originally from the March 2023 KOTM) on to the card with Nautical Blue Memento ink.

Here is another photo of the finished card:
