Hi everyone!
This is a super simple card inspired by the current challenge over at the Freshly Made Sketches blog!
I splattered Distress Oxide inks onto three strips of card which I then cut up and stuck to a base card. I then added a glittered Simon Says Stamp die cut and some stars to finish it off!
I’m also entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge (Splatter it) and the Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge (Splatter it!).
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Sunday everyone!
It’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Cards. This fortnight’s theme is ‘Summer Fun’ and Happy Little Stampers is our sponsor.
For my card, I stamped and coloured images from the Avery Elle Beside the Sea set. I then masked off the images and created a blended background with regular distress ink and also distress oxide ink. I cut a frame from glitter paper and then added a sentiment from the set to finish it off!
My teammates have shared some gorgeous CAS cards on the AAA Cards blog and we are also joined by Guest Designer Ishani from Quillish. She has some amazing creations on her blog – her quilling is GORGEOUS – so please drop by her site!
Thanks for stopping by – I do hope you play along with us!

Happy Saturday!
Today’s card is inspired by two challenges – the Casology challenge (cue word – juicy) and the Retro Rubber challenge (a summery photo inspiration).
I pulled out one of my older Magenta stamps, which I think I’ve had for about 3 years, maybe more…. but which I’m ashamed to say, I have never used! I’ve said it before, and I know I will be saying it again in future, but I am so grateful I found the Retro Rubber blog – it really inspires me to use my oft-neglected wooden stamp collection.
Anyway, I coloured the image using my Twinkling H20s and added some stickles to the flower. I cut out a square from some white card using a die by My Favorite Things and added a sentiment by Altenew (seriously, it took me longer to choose the sentiment than make this card! Couldn’t decide between punny eg ‘I’m berry sorry’ or more serious!).
I added the white card on top of my base card using funky foam for dimension.
Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Hi there!
This week’s Less is More challenge is ‘pierce your project’ – hmmm…. I don’t ‘do’ sewing and didn’t really have any ideas for my eyelets and brads… so I turned to my trusty die collection and found a few that pierce the paper. That’ll fulfil the challenge, right!
Anyway, I coloured a floral die cut from Memory Box and stuck it to a base I’d cut with an Avery Elle die. I added an Avery Elle sentiment stamped in distress ink and a few mini pearls to finish it off.
Thanks for stopping by!

I’ve found a great new-to-me challenge over at the Always Playing with Paper blog.
Challenge Number 93 provided a few cue words for inspiration – we can choose to follow as many or as few as we like!
The cue words are: simple, butterfly, monochromatic, circle and friendship.
I chose all of them apart from monochromatic and used dies from Simons Says Stamp and Simply Graphic together with a stamp from Hero Arts for my entry.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone
For today’s card, I used the current sketch from the CASE This Sketch challenge blog as my inspiration. I stamped a piece of kraft card with a background stamp from My Favorite Things using Versamark. I then added some strips that I had cut using a My Favorite Things die. Finally I added a Winnie and Walter sentiment onto the die cut strip. This was a small deviation from the sketch – I tried the sentiment above the strip and it just didn’t look right to me….
Anyway, I’m also entering this into the current Color Throwdown challenge – green, kraft and white.
Thanks for stopping by!
