Hi everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
I was really pleased to see the slimline card sketch this week as I thought I could finally use a die I bought at the start of the year thinking it was a LOT smaller than it turned out! Online shopping is tricky isn’t it? Anyway I was so glad to finally use a couple of dies from the Paper Discovery Cherry Blossoms and Lanterns die set!
The sentiment is by Savvy Stamps.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
Today I’m playing along a new-to me challenge, Hand Stamped Sentiments using products by Penny Black.
I cut an ink-blended panel using a die from the dainty dashes stackers set (51-636) and then coloured a couple of the Cherry Blossom die cut images (51-419) using my Twinkling H2)s and prismacolor pencils.
Finally I added a sentiment from the Thinking of You clear stamp set (30-825).
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
Next up today, I’m playing along with the sketch challenge over at CAS Colours and Sketches.
Such a unique sketch this week! I had so many ideas but in the end I pulled out the fabulous birdhouse dies that I got as a free gift from My Favorite Things, coloured them with distress ink and hey presto, today’s card. I’m not sure though…. I may have gone overboard with those pink birds….. what do you think?
Then sentiment is also from an older MFT set.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
It’s time for the a new challenge at AAA Cards! This fortnight we’d like you to create a one-layer CAS card; our optional twist is ‘hexagons’.
For my card, I created an ink-blended hexagon using a Taylored Expressions stencil and then stamped an image from an old Hero Arts set called Asian Frames. I was so chuffed that the stamp was a perfect fit with the ink-blended hexagon! I then added a few smaller hexagons using another Taylored Expressions stencil and a sentiment by Clearly Besotted.
My team mates have come up with some beautiful cards which are on the AAA Cards challenge blog. We are also joined a previous challenge winner, Sue, who has some lovely inspiration on her blog!
Hope you can play along with us!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the Poppystamps challenge where the theme is flowers and butterflies! Two of my favourites! I can’t believe I only saw the theme at the end of the month – the challenge closes tonight so I made it just in time!
I used quite a few dies from my Poppystamps collection: the main image is the Blooming Branches Sidekick frame and stencil set, then I used the Dervyn Butterfly Trio and Emelia Butterfly Trio. Finally I added the freehand Happy Spring sentiment – althoughit has been super warm here today, technically it is still spring until mid June after all!
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Friyay friends!
Today I’m playing along in TWO challenges hosted by Simon Says Stamp – the May instagram challenge where the theme is ‘favourite technique’ and the Wednesday challenge which is ‘anything goes’ with Simon Says Stamp products being showcased.
I decided to make another mini slimline card using my current favourite technique of die cutting. I used the Simon Says Stamp Sweet Tulip die and a stamped sentiment from a 2012 SSS set called Flower Friend.
The sentiment is also by Memory Box.
Thanks for stopping by!
