Hello again everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown! The pretty palette this week is purple, green and khaki!
I bought the Hero Arts Lavender Bunch stamp and die way back at the start of lockdown thinking I’d have tons of time to craft, but of course, I didn’t! So when I saw the colour combo this week, I thought it would be perfect for the lavender bunch image! I paired it with a Hero Arts Woodgrain Frame die and a sentiment from Mama Elephant.

Hi there!
It’s time for another challenge at AAA Cards! This fortnight we’d like you to create a CAS card using one corner of your card base only; our sponsor is Stamplorations. Our optional twist for this challenge is ‘cosy’!
I decided to use one of my vast collection of Newton Nook stamps for this card – there are a couple of sets that would work really well, but I love this image of Newton in the laundry basket – he looks so cosy, I knew it would be perfect for the challenge. I used a stencil by Newton’s Nook to ground my image which I coloured with my Twinkling H2O paints and fussy cut. The sentiment is also by.. yep, Newton’s Nook!
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, and one of my favourite cardmakers, Angie – go check out her blog, it’s so inspiring!!
Hope you can play along with us!

Hi everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the challenge at the CAS Colours and Sketches challenge – this week is a fun colour challenge! I did find it a bit difficult to match the Stampin’ Up ink colours to something in my craft room, so in the end I used an Altenew ink and coloured cardstock!
I stamped a Tim Holtz background on my card base before adhering the Simply Graphic die cuts. To complete my card, I added a Sugar Pea sentiment.

Hi everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the challenge at the CAS Colours and Sketches challenge – every now and again they have a combined sketch and colour challenge and although it’s quite restrictive, I think that makes for a real challenge! Plus it’s so interesting to see what everyone comes up with and see how different every entry is!
First I sponged some Peeled Paint Distress Oxide ink to two corners of my card base. I die cut a white panel using a Simply Graphic dotty die and then adhered it to my cardbase. I used Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks for my centre panel and adhered the Viva Tree by Poppystamps. The sentiment is by Hero Arts.

Hello everyone!
Today I’m playing along with two of my favourite challenges with this card – Freshly Made Sketches and the Color Throwdown! The pretty palette this week is purple, red and orange!
I used the beautiful pumpkin from the With a Thankful Heart set by Reverse Confetti and added a few Simply Graphic die cuts together with a sentiment from an older Avery Elle set. For the background, I applied clear glossy texture paste using the Newton Nook Pumpkin Patch stencil – really like the overall effect of that paste!

Hi there!
Today I’m playing along the Freshly Made Sketches challenge .
So many different products/brand on this little card! I embossed some Basic Grey paper with a Darice folder and then adhered a stamped Penny Black image. I added some ink blended leaves (Lawn Fawn) and a squiggle die cut by Simply Graphic before adhering the Hero Arts sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by!
