Etched Flower Buds

Hello everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the colour challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches and the Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge where the theme is die cutting.

It’s been a while since I played with Simon Says Stamp products but I haven’t yet had a chance to play with some SSS dies that I bought in their Thanksgiving sale and I thought they’d be perfect for the soft colour combo. I cut the Etched Flower Buds die together with the leaves from the Etched Meadow Flower die set and coloured them with distress ink. I stencilled some Nuvo Moonstone glitter paste onto my card base and added the flowers once it had dried. Finally I added a sentiment from the Messages For Everyday set.

Neighbourhood Houses

Hello everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. When I first saw the sketch, I thought about using hearts or butterflies but then yesterday my new Dies to Die For order arrived and I knew it was the perfect opportunity for me to use my brand new My Neighborhood die set from My Favorite Things.

I coloured the images with distress ink and added Clearly Besotted sentiment. I thought it was finished, but when I was photographing the card, it felt a little bare so I added a few die cut hearts and sequins. Maybe a few too many? I’m not too sure… what do you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

Deco delight

Hello everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the first Color Throwdown challenge of 2022 and it has such a super bold palette – black, gold or silver and white. Perfect for New Year’s cards, but I decided to go a different route – Art Deco !

I bought the Poppystamps Stepped Deco Frame before Christmas – I love the Art Deco sunrise/sunset design so I HAD to have this die when I saw it! I cut it twice – from gold and white cardstock and then did some inlaid die cutting! I added a sentiment from a Poppystamps set and a few gems from Lucy’s Little Things to complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Jeu de l’Avent 2021 – 24

Hello everyone!

My last post of the day is for my final Simply Graphic challenge card – made for Day 24 of their advent challenge,

Another colour combo challenge! The palette was kraft, pink and red and so I pulled out my SG dies and got busy! The sentiment is from Mama Elephant as I don’t have any Simply Graphic sentiments.

Thanks for stopping by!
