Hello Everyone!
Today I’m playing along in the Color Throwdown challenge which has a very LucieG-palette of pink, sage green, lavender and blue.
It’s weird, but when the combo contains MY colours, I always feel a bit more pressure to show them off well. Today, I decided to create a bouquet of colourful wildflowers using The Greetery’s Wildflower botanicuts and a bouquet die from Simply Graphic, all coloured with distress inks. The sentiment is by Mama Elephant.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello again Everyone!
I’m back again today with a non-Easter card that I made for the Inkspirational challenge. As soon as I saw the photo, I knew I had to play along and although my first thought was to pull out my dies, I remembered this elegant Great Impressions wood-mounted stamp that I felt would be perfect.
I stamped the image using my Frayed Burlap Archival ink and then lightly blended some distress ink around it. I coloured the image with my Twinkling H2O paints and added a Mamaa Elephant sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!
Today I’m playing along in the colour challenge hosted by Sunday Stamps using products kindly sent to me by Penny Black.
I stamped the fabulous Fresh Bouquet cling stamp (40-841) slightly off the edge of my card base and then coloured it in the challenge palette. I used my Twinkling H2Os again – oh how I wish I could capture the beautiful shimmer in my photo.
I added a few gems to the flower centres and the sentiment from the Ever Thanks set (30-813) to complete my card.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Wednesday everyone!
Today I’m playing along in the CAS on Friday challenge which has the theme of ‘flowers’!
I really love all the bouquet dies that are around at the moment and just bought one by Marianne Designs which I decided to use for my card today. I must say, it’s actually much bigger than I was expecting but that meant that I could use some of my larger flower dies with it! For this card I reached for the beautiful flowers that Memory Box released about a year ago (Daisy Stems, Wildflower Stems, Lavender Stems, Seed Stems and Daisy Silhouette), which I coloured with distress inks and coloured pencil.
I added some stickles to the flowers and a Hero Arts sentiment to complete my card.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the sketch challenge at Just Add Ink.
When I saw the sketch, I thought of some Marianne Designs dies that I got early last year – the set included a couple of test tube dies that I really wanted but somehow I never got round to using them!
Anyway, I cut the tubes from vellum and then came the challenge of choosing stems! My original planned flowers didn’t work – I think it’s because the tubes are close together. In the end, I used these wonderful Nordic Trio dies from Simply Graphic – I think they work well with the layout of the tubes!
I added a sentiment by Memory Box and a few gems to complete my card.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello again everyone!
Next today is my card for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
For my take, I used Paper Rose Studio’s Honeysuckle Plant and a bowl from a Sizzix die set, all coloured with distress inks. The sentiment is my Whimsy Stamps.
This was a really interesting sketch to play with and at first I used the die cut bowl to represent the middle strip in the sketch, but I didn’t really like how it looked, but I was much happier when I added that third yellow strip!
Thanks for stopping by!
