Hello friends!
Today I’m playing along with the current sketch challenge over at The Paper Players . I used dies from the fabulous new Sue Wilson/Creative Expressions Elegant Arrangements, coloured with distress inks. I cut the vase from some of my patterned paper mountain. The sentiment is by Sugar Pea Designs.

Hi there!
I don’t think I’ve played along with the My Favorite Things sketch challenge since October, and having been inspired by this week’s sketch, I decided to play along!
I created a couple of stencils using my circle dies and gently blended some distress ink. Then I cut and coloured die cut shapes from the Dienamics Houseplants die set.
I arranged all the die cuts on the background before adding an stamped sentiment from the MFT Essential sentiments set and a few mini sequins.

Hi there!
Next up today, I’m playing along with the colour challenge over at CAS Colours and Sketches.
Many many years ago, I made MANY mini slim line cards, but I haven’t made one for years! Luckily I kept all the card bases I bought and dusted them down for today’s quick CAS card. I used dies by Memory Box, coloured with distress ink, together with a sentiment from The Ton Stamps.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Monday everyone!
First up today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown which has a stunning colour combo this week (aqua, ice blue and pale green).
I had one idea for this card, but then couldn’t find the stamp I wanted to use – goodness knows where it is! So I quickly had to pivot to a quick CAS card using Memory Box dies (under the Sea Collage, Delicate Sea Fan and Swimming Seahorses). Although the blended background turned out a little darker than I wanted, I’m happy that I was able to play with my new Salvage Patina distress ink again, it’s such a pretty colour!
I’m also entering this into the current Memory Box challenge where the theme is water.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
I decided to use stamps from the new Penny Black Delight release today. When I saw the sketch, I immediately thought of the beautiful Companions cling stamp (40-769) which I thought would fit perfectly on the right hand side of the card against an ink-blended background. I stamped the image in Antique Linen distress ink and coloured it with my Twinkling H2Os. I couldn’t get the shimmer to show up in my photos sadly. After colouring, I masked off the image and created an ink-blended background, following the sketch. I think re-stamped the image to emphasise the lines (thank goodness for my MISTI!).
Finally I added a sentiment from the Thinking of You clear stamp set (30-825) and a few sequins.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Saturday friends!
It’s been a long time since I last played in a Simon Says Stamp blog challenge but the Wednesday challenge theme is ‘dies or punches’ with Memory Box products being showcased. Well of course I HAD to play along didn’t I?!
I used a couple of old dies and one newer one for my take on the challenge theme – the Grand Flower Box by Poppystamps plus the beautiful Spring border – which is celebrating its tenth birthday this year! Yep this beautiful die is from 2011! I coloured the die cuts with distress inks and then added a die cut from the 2020 Cherry Blossom branches set on top of the box.
The sentiment is also by Memory Box.
Thanks for stopping by!
