A Spring Walk in London

Hi everyone!

The theme for this week’s Less is More challenge is ‘spring walk’. I interpreted it a little differently from others….

Although it has been sunny in lovely London recently, many (most?!) spring walks require an umbrella, so I chose this fabulous stamp from Penny Black for my entry and coloured it with my trusty Twinkling H2O’s for a bit of shimmer.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Friyay! My first @stamplorations order arrived this morning and as I’ve been coveting this birthday die for AGES, I had to use it straight away! I used the sketch from the current #freshlymadesketches challenge and that beautiful white handcrafted paper is by @tonicstudios - it’s so shimmery in real life! #stamplorations #stamplorationsdies #cutplorations #distressoxide #tonicstudios #tonicstudiospaper #handmadecards #freshlymadesketcheschallenge

Hi everyone! There’s a fab new colour combo for this week’s @colorthrowdown challenge (peach, pale pink, hot pink and green). I was already working on a card with the #casethissketchchallenge sketch so I combined them both! Stamps and dies are by @averyellestamps. #thedailymarker30day #averyelle #averyellestamps #averyelledies #distressink #distressoxide #colorthrowdown #ctd498 #casethissketch #handmadecards

I love that I seem to be seeing more new cards using older stamps on IG recently! When I saw the sketch for this week’s CAS colours and sketches challenge, I immediately thought of my @stampendous wood-mounted scene stamps that I’ve had for ages! I coloured this scene with my #twinklingh2o paints for Day 18 of #thedailymarker30day. Sentiment is by @clearlybesotted. #stampendous #stampendousstamps #clearlybesottedstamps #cascoloursandsketches #handmadecards

Happy Father’s Day to my dear dad! My dad prefers CAS cards so I used the sketch from the current @freshlymadesketches challenge for this card. I cut one of my #kenolivercolorburst backgrounds with a @simonsaysstamp die and snipped the die cut a little to reflect the sketch and added a few extra stars. The embossed sentiment is by @heroarts. #kenolivercrafts #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #heroarts #heroartsstamps #handmadecards #fathersdaycard #thedailymarker30day

Happy Saturday! My distress brushes have arrived so I’ve been having fun testing them out on intricate stencils that I always catch in the blending foam. Early days, but I love them! I’ve had this @echoparkpaper palm tree stencil for a while but have never used it in the way I wanted... until now 😊 The stamps are by @newtonsnook and I coloured the image with #distressink for Day 16 of #thedailymarker30day hosted by @kathyrac . I’m entering this into the current @timeoutchallenges - holidays. #distressbrush #distressoxide #echoparkpaper #echoparkpaperstencil #newtonsnook #newtonsnookdesigns #newtonsnookstamps #timeoutchallenges #timeoutchallenge #handmadecards #onelayercard

Happy Friyay everyone! And today is an extra-happy Friday for me as I get to share my first post as part of the @craftsuloveltd design team! I received some fabulous @pinkfreshstudio stamps and decided to do some mirror stamping without a ‘traditional’ mirror stamp! Please pop over to my blog for all the details! Have a great day everyone! #craftsulove #pinkfreshstudio #pinkfreshstudiostamps #dienamics #distressink #handmadecards #mirrorstamping

Hi everyone! I’m playing along with this week’s @colorthrowdown challenge (coral, yellow, green and aqua) and decided to use some @altenewllc stamps that I’ve had for a while but never really used. Quite a different card for me but it was great fun to make! All stamps, inks and the background die are from @altenewllc. #altenewllc #altenew #altenewstamps #altenewdies #altenewinks #colorthrowdown #ctd497 #handmadecards #thedailymarker30day

Hello friends! I’m so happy that @diestodiefor here in the UK now stocks @prettypinkposh! I was able to get my hands on the new geranium dies on release day! Thanks Tracy for the super-fast shipping! I’ve been practicing with my #zigcleancolorrealbrushmarkers again for Day 11 of @kathyrac’s #thedailymarker30day - they are getting easier for me but I still have a LONG way to go! #prettypinkposh #prettypinkposhdies #distressink #inksmooshing #zigcleancolorrealbrush #handmadecards

Hi! It’s time for a new @aaacardchallenge challenge and this fortnight’s theme is ‘geometrics’! This was quite a challenge for me - I knew I wanted to use the fab @simplygraphic triangle dies but I struggled to find a design I liked! The sentiment is from @lilinkerdesigns - I replaced the dot above the ‘i’ with a triangle from the one of the unused black die cut pieces to reflect the theme! I’m also entering this into the current @colorthrowdown challenge (black, white, aqua). Hope you can play along with us! #aaacard #aaacardchallenge #simplygraphic #simplygraphicdies #lilinkerdesigns #lilinkerdesignsdies #colorthrowdown #colorthrowdownchallenge #ctd496 #handmadecards

Hi everyone! I decided to practice with my @averyellestamps liquid watercolours for today’s colouring for @kathyrac’s #thedailymarker30day. After embossing a background stamp from @simonsaysstamp, I applied a light gold wash across the whole background before colouring the image. Love the shimmer that wash created! I ended up cutting my panel in half, so you’ll probably see a card using that second half one day 😉 The sentiment die/stamp are also by @simonsaysstamp. I’m entering this into the current #sssflickrchallenge (colour). #simonsaysstamp #averyelleliquidwatercolors #handmadecards #simonsaysstampdies

Happy Friyay everyone! I’m playing along with the current #sssmchallenge using stamps by @paperartsy . Isn’t that sentiment fabulous? Words to live by, I think. They inspired this whole card. I rarely use my #zigwaterbrush markers, but I’m trying to use more mediums during @kathyrac ‘s #thedailymarker30day. I definitely need a LOT more practice- this colouring took way longer than it should have. Does anyone know of any good videos that can help me with these pens? #simonsaysstamp #paperartsy #paperartsystamps #distressink #handmadecards

Hi everyone! I chose a smaller image by @pennyblackstamps for Day 3 of #thedailymarker30day challenge hosted by @kathyrac. Usually I’d use my watercolours for this sort of image, but I’m trying to practice with different mediums during this challenge so I pulled out my #prismacolorpencils again! I love the texture of these pencils! What’s more, the waxy surface can help with crafting missteps! Want to know mine? Well, after I finished colouring, I added some black gelly roll glaze pen dots to ALL the flowers. Big mistake! They were far too heavy for those delicate flowers 😱. At first, I tried a white pen to tone down the black and then I realised that the dot lifted off very easily with a craft knife! And the colouring underneath was intact! What a result! I used a die by @averyellestamps to frame the flowers. I decided not to add a sentiment so I can used this card for any occasion! #pennyblack #pennyblackstamps #averyelle #averyelledies #prismacolor #twinklingh2o #handmadecards

Hello friends! Thank you so much for your likes and kind comments on my last card! It’s so good to be back crafting again! I hope catch up and see all your fabulous inspiration over the next few days 💕 Here’s my colouring for Day 2 of #thedailymarker30day hosted by @kathyrac. I used my new #prismacolorpencils again and the fabulous Hello Lovely stamp from @concordand9th - I really haven’t played enough with this beauty! I did some hidden die cutting with a @savvystamps die. It was soooo nerve wracking to cut into my coloured image.... it never gets easier, I always worry about messing it up! Luckily, this worked out! Phew! #concordand9th #concordand9thstamps #savvystamps #savvystampsdies #prismacolor #hiddendiecut #handmadecards #birthdaycard

Happy Saturday everyone! Guess what! I made a card! I managed to colour this lovely floral image from @simonsaysstamp for Day 1 of @kathyrac’s #thedailymarker30day and then made it into a card with a couple of @heroarts stamps! It felt soooo good to craft again! I’m also entering this into the current #ssswchallenge (anything goes). #simonsaysstamp #heroarts #heroartsstamps #prismacolor #prismacolorpencils #distressink #distressoxide #handmadecards

Hi everyone! Life has been sooo busy, but I’m hoping to reconnect with my lovely insta-friends this week! I have missed all your inspiration! I shared this card on my blog on Sunday. We’re celebrating our fourth birthday over at @aaacardchallenge - lots of prizes and a fun blog hop! The challenge theme is ‘birthday’ and I’m using stamps from one of our sponsors, @newtonsnook. Look at that little cat balloon! Isn’t that the sweetest! Hope you can play along with us! #aaacard #aaacardchallenge #newtonsnook #newtonsnookdesigns #twinklingh2o #distressink #onelayercard #handmadecards
