Happy Anniversary to my lovely Mum and Dad! Here’s the card I gave them today – I created the background with distress oxide inks and then used it as a base for some inlaid die cutting using a die from Nellie Snellen.
I lightly dusted some regular distress ink die onto the background using a stencil from Simon Says Stamp and then stamped a sentiment from Ellen Hutson. I then added a few die cut glitter hearts to finish it off!

Day 6 of Online Card Classes’ Rainbow Maker class covered ‘additional rainbow ideas’. I tried out Kristina Werner’s rainbow dot art technique. I don’t have many colours of Nuvo drops, but I do have a lot of Ranger enamel accents as I snagged a bargain from Simon Says Stamp a little while ago, so used those.
Anyway, I wanted to stick with simple dots and thought my current favourite embossing folder from Studio Carabelle would provide the perfect template for this!
This was so much fun to do!! I finished off the card with a simple sentiment using a Mama Elephant die cut which I dipped into Rainbow embossing powder. Love the effect!

Hi There!
The Freshly Made Sketches challenge is celebrating 300 sketches this week and here is my take on their fabulous sketch.
I used a die from Clearly Besotted, plus a Tim Holtz/Sizzix embossing folder and patterned paper from My Minds Eye.
After cutting out the ‘yay’, I coated it with sparkle embossing powder – this card really sparkles in real life – will add a close up later!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
I’m still playing catch up with Online Card Classes’ Rainbow Maker class. Day 3 was all about rainbow die cutting and I was totally intrigued by May Park’s ‘poke-out die-cutting’ technique as I love inlaid die cutting, but it does take a very long time. I must admit I was a bit sceptical but this card came together so quickly! Definitely one to use again and again.
All dies and stamps are by Hero Arts.

Hello everyone!
Day 5 of Online Card Classes’ Rainbow Maker class was all about rainbow stencilling mediums! I had such fun playing with my inks, stencils and pastes today! Have made a lot of backgrounds, but not yet converted them into cards so I will add them to this post when I’ve done them.
Anyway, as you can see, I did manage to convert one background into a card. The background was created using the ‘heat embossed overlay technique’ with a Dutch Doobadoo stencil and some Hero Arts white satin pearl embossing powder. I love the effect of this technique – but it was so difficult to capture in a photo!
Anyway, I finished off the card with a sentiment from Walter and Winnie which I cut from some glitter paper, plus a few glittery stars!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
After watching the Online Card Classes Rainbow Maker videos for today, I was itching to get ink smooshing, but I also wanted to do a card for this week’s Less is More challenge (tropical colours). So I tweaked my rainbow a bit (but that’s ok, right?) and came up with a smooshed background using Altenew’s inks. I used the gorgeous giraffe dies from Poppystamps and a couple of dies from Memory Box and Simon Says Stamp to complete my card, which I’m also entering into this week’s Casology challenge (safari).
Thanks for stopping by!
