Happy Sunday everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. What a fabulous sketch to play with this week!
I bought the Taylored Expressions Antique Pails die set over Easter and I thought the large pail would work perfectly with the sketch. I paired it with the Honeysuckle Plant by paper Rose Studio and the Stamp Market’s Ready to Bloom floral die.
The sentiment is by Memory Box.

Happy Saturday everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown which has a clean springtime combo of dark green, yellow, mint and white.
I used products kindly sent to me by Penny Black for this card. I have been trying to use the beautiful Floral Twirl die (51-768) again and today was the day, along with the beautiful Airy die (51-423) and a stem from the Garden Greens set (51-652). All the dies were coloured with distress oxide inks and I added detail with coloured pencil plus some stickles!
The sentiment is from the ever so versatile Snippets set (30-283).
Thanks for stopping by!

Today I’m playing along with the sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps.
I used the fabulous Forget Me Not dies by the Greetery and some of my patterned paper mountain for my take on the sketch.

Happy Monday everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I have to admit, I spent a long time thinking about how I could use the sketch this week. I toyed with using patterned paper or embossed pieces of card but in the end, I chose to replicate the skecth with a simple ink blended background and added some products kindly sent to me by Penny Black.
I coloured the three daisies from the Delicate Daisies die set (51-763) with distress inks and arranged them on my background. Even thought I’m a CAS cardmaker, I felt that the card still needed something else, so I added some leafy fronds from the An Impression die set (51-735).
Finally I stamped a sentiment from the Charisma stamp set (30-969) and added a few gems to complete my card.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Sunday everyone!
It’s been a while since I played along with the Can You Handle the Pressure challenge, but as I was able to craft a lot this weekend, I decided to join in with the current challenge which has the optional twist of Easter
I’ve been excited to play with the cute Bunny Kisses die set by The Greetery and today was the day! I coloured the images with distress ink and added a little mini pompom to the bunny. I embossed some light pink cardstock with a Spellbinders embossing folder and assembled my little scene on a panel cut from an older My Favorite Things Die-Namics set. The grass is cut with a Lawn Fawn die.
The sentiment is by Clearly Besotted.

Happy Saturday everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown which has a fabulous combo of blue, rust and brown. It’s all change at my favourite colour challenge this week as the team welcome the talented Kelly! The team is always pretty stable but somehow I missed the farewell to Barbara, I loved her amazing takes on the colours. Many congrats Kelly on joining the amazing DT!
Last week I received and played with the amazing Spring Meadow stencil set by The Greetery. I enjoyed playing with it so much, I was determined to play with it again, although I surprised myself by reaching for it again so soon! I thought it might work well with this combo? What do you think? I used three shades of blue and added rust/brown to the flower centres, although I did use black for the darkest flowers.
The background embossing folder is by Spellbinders and the sentiment is by Clearly Besotted.
Thanks for stopping by!
