Blue daisies

Happy Monday everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I have to admit, I spent a long time thinking about how I could use the sketch this week. I toyed with using patterned paper or embossed pieces of card but in the end, I chose to replicate the skecth with a simple ink blended background and added some products kindly sent to me by Penny Black.

I coloured the three daisies from the Delicate Daisies die set (51-763) with distress inks and arranged them on my background. Even thought I’m a CAS cardmaker, I felt that the card still needed something else, so I added some leafy fronds from the An Impression die set (51-735).

Finally I stamped a sentiment from the Charisma stamp set (30-969) and added a few gems to complete my card.

Floral Easter Egg

Hello again everyone!

Next up today is my card for the colour challenge at The Paper Players.

I embossed the floral egg from Simon Says Stamps’ Easter Joy set and coloured it using my Twinkling H2O paints.

I added it to an embossed card base and added a Memory Box sentiment to complete my card.

Peek a boo chick

Happy Easter everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge where the theme is ‘add texture’.

Using a Creative Expressions stencil , I applied texture paste across my card base and added a Memory Box egg and just a peek of the cute Simon says Stamp Peeking Chick die.

The sentiment is also from an older Simon Says Stamp set.

Doodle Eggs

Happy Saturday everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown which has a fabulous combo of pink, rust and green.

I decided it would be a fab combo to use for the Simon Says Stamp Doodle Eggs background stamp. I loved this stamp since it came out in 2018 but couldn’t justfy the purchase, so when it popped up in the Steals and Deals section last year, I managed to grab it. I coloured it with my Twinkling H2O paints and added a sentiment by Creative Expressions.

Easter Greetings Chicks

Happy Good Friday!

Well I’m feeling very confused as it has felt like a Saturday to me all day today – nice to have a bonus tomorrow!

Anyway, today I’m playing along with theme challenge at The Paper Players.

As it’s almost Easter, I felt I had to choose either chicks or bunnies for the animal theme – and I ended up using Tim Holtz’s fabulous Colorize Chick die set.

The nest is by Memory Box and I added a Reverse Confetti frame and Pretty Pink Posh sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by!
