Hello Everyone!
Today I’m playing along with colour challenge at The Paper Players.
Unfortunately, I haven’t had much crafty time this week so I ended up putting this card together just before the challenge deadline! Just made it! Phew!
I used a beautiful older die called Meadow Rue by Simon Says Stamp which I coloured with Distress Oxides. I adhered it to a panel embossed with a Taylored Expressions embossing folder and added a sentiment by Memory Box.

Hello Everyone!
Today I’m using Penny Black products to play along in the Just Us Girls challenge which has a theme of flowers.
To start with, I used the Slimline Zig Zag die set (51-733) to create a white frame which I adhered to my card base that I’d covered with some old patterned paper.
I then used the fabulous Daisy Delight die (51-676) to cut 15 daisies which I coloured using my Twinkling H2Os. I then adhered them to my card base , popping out of each of the three die cut windows.
To complete my card, I added a sentiment from the Bunches of Love set (30-890).
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the six pack colour challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare. I LOVE how this challenge asks you to use one of the colours for the card base – I’m really enjoying making cards with different colour backgrounds right now!
I spent ages matching Bazzill card stock to the challenge colours on my ipad. And then, of course they look so different in the photo. Especially the rosemary and toffee colours – I’m quite disappointed about that.
Anyway, all dies are from Spellbinders’ Be Bold Blooms die set and I added an Impress Cards & Crafts sentiment.

Hello everyone!
Today I’m using the colour palette from this week’s CAS Colours and Sketches challenge.
I knew I wanted to us my new ‘Die Fleur Double’ by Simply Graphic as my focal point so I started with that and adhered it to a die cut circle. I was going to add some foliage in the soft suede challenge colour but everything I tried detracted from the beautiful flower die. So in the end, I die cut the background with another Simply Graphic die and added some card to the back of my card base to fill in the dots!
I added a few gems and a Pretty Pink Posh sentiment to complete my card.

Hello Everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown challenge which has an interesting combo of mint green, strawberry, light yellow and navy.
I have to say I found this a tough combo to work with, especially as the navy in the inspiration photo was much lighter than the shade I would ordinarily choose.
Eventually, I decided to watercolour the beautiful Memory Box Jasper Leaves die with Cracked Pistachio and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide inks. Then I smooshed some Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide and used it to cut flowers from Spellbinders’ Mini Fall Blooms die set. I felt my leaves didn’t have enough yellow, so I added yellow centres to each flower.
I struggled with the background. My go-to navy Hero Arts cardstock was definitely too dark, so in the end I chose a lighter shade of navy from my cardstock mountain and added some Chipped Sapphire distress ink to darken it a little.
I added a My Favorite Things sentiment to complete my card.

Hello Everyone!
Today I’m playing along in the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
I just love what Cecile called the whimsical fuzzy background!! My interpretation uses a Taylored Expressions abstract stencil and Salvaged Patina ink that I blended and then smooshed onto my card base. I decided to use my new Fleurs Graciles die from Simply Graphic as the focal point for this card and added a little Simply Graphic bow as well.
The sentiment is by Pretty Pink Posh.
Thanks for stopping by!
