Hi there!
The challenge over at the Penny Black and More challenge blog is ‘ For the Boys’. This was quite difficult for me as I don’t have many Penny Black ‘male’ stamps, but I eventually came up with this card. I embossed the Penny Black ‘Energised’ stamp and then blended some distress oxide ink over it to create the background. I added one of my favourite Happy Birthday dies and a white frame to finish off the card.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
I’ve seen a few cards with humming birds recently and I really love them, so I bought the Hero Arts hummingbird dies to play with! I’m really looking forward to creating lots of different coloured birds with them!
Anyway, today, I coloured them with my Twinkling H20s and added them to the gorgeous Simon Says Stamp Bouquet of Thanks stamp. Lots of shimmer on this card (again!!).
I’m entering this into the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge and Simon Says Stamp Work it Wednesday.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
It’s the Casology challenge blog’s fifth anniversary this week and to celebrate, they have chosen the cue word ‘balloon’.
Here’s my take: I practiced my no lines water colouring using a Hero Arts stamp and my Twinkling H2O paints. I wasn’t too sure when to stop colouring, but I knew that I didn’t want to create a super-bright card – so I ended up with a very soft image instead, but I think it works.
I added a sentiment from Altenew and did some very gentle ink smooshing on the background, but you can’t really see that in my photo.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
The challenge over at the Memory Box blog this month is ‘noteworthy neutrals’ and here is my take using three Memory Box dies (Fresh Foliage, Contempo Birds and Thanks).
I created the black/grey card using Black Soot Distress Oxide ink and couldn’t resist spritzing some Distress Mica Spray on it! This card shimmers so much in real life!
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Saturday!
For today’s card, I masked off a section of cardstock and lightly blended some distress ink. I then stamped a flamingo background stamp from Simon Says Stamp using distress oxide ink. Love how easy it is to stamp with those inks.
Anyway, I used part of a sentiment from a Simon Says Stamp set and then added a die cut word from Ellen Hutson that I cut out several times for depth.
A few yellow enamel dots completed the card!
I’m entering this into a number of challenges – Freshly Made Sketches , the Color Throwdown (raspberry pink, green and yellow) and the Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge (anything goes).
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Everyone!
The theme over at the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog is Rainbow – and here is my entry!
I used an old Magenta stamp that I’ve had for at least 5 years! I love how this challenge blog is helping me rediscover my forgotten gems!
Anyway, I coloured the flowers with my Twinkling H2O’s and added a touch of Stickles and a Clearly Besotted sentiment to finish it off!
Thanks for stopping by!
