Sending some happy

 

Hello Everyone!

Today I’m playing along in the Just Add Ink sketch challenge.

I just received the Memory Box Paisley Bloom Leaf Arch die set which I’ve admired from afar for quite a while and when I saw the sketch, I thought it would be perfect. I created a few inky panels with my distress inks first which I used to die cut all the images.

Once I’d assembled my wreath, I added a few dew drops to the flower centres and a Concord & 9th sentiment to complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Wispy Blooms!

Hello everyone!

Today I’m playing along in the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I have coveted Birch Press Design’s Wispy Blooms Contour Layers die set from the moment I first saw it in February! Unfortunately, I wasn’t quick enough when Bumbleberry’s got the new release, so I was waiting for restocks….. until I had a coupon for Simon Says Stamp and my willpower cracked and it ended up in my basket. It arrived yesterday and I could not wait to play with it!

For this card, I coloured three blooms with distress oxide inks and adhered them onto my card base, on top of the three strips I created with Memory Box’s Grape Vine Border. The sentiment is by Hero Arts, stamped in my favourite Frayed Burlap archival ink.

Thanks for stopping by!

Layered Chick and Speckled Egg

Happy Saturday everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the sketch challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches.

To start, I created a stencil from a Memory Box egg die and blended some Speckled Egg distress ink before adding some brown speckles. Next, I finally got round to using my Tim Holtz/Sizzix chick dies! I was a little apprehensive at first as some layering die sets can be quite fiddly but as soon as I started cutting the pieces, I realise how super easy this set is! I really liked Jenn Shurkus’s inspiration card where I think she used some smooshed panels to create her chicks so I decided to use some of my smooshed backgrounds. I when through my Big Background Box and was quite surprised that I have created quite a few yellow panels! Nice to actually use some of them today!

After adhering the chick, I added a sentiment by Simon Says Stamp to complete my card.

Vintage foiled egg

Hello Everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the ‘Can You Handle the Pressure‘ challenge where the twist is Easter.

My original plan was to create a large vintage foiled egg with a WRMK embossing folder. But then I was concerned that the challenge would expect us to also include an embossed background… so I pulled out the Pebble embossing folder by Carabelle Studio again!

Then I felt that the card STILL needed something extra so I added a vellum sprig cut from the Sylvan Sprig by Poppystamps.

Finally I added a Memory Box sentiment to complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Jumping Chick

Hi there!

Today I’m playing along with the colour challenge at The Paper Players and the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.

The colour combo for The Paper Players challenge just said Easter to me, but my inspiration was a bit lacking until I saw the Freshly Made Sketches challenge and thought I could create a fun chick scene using the Easter colour combo. I used the chick from Poppystamps’ Chick and Egg die set, together with a Memory Box egg and Lawn Fawn grass die – all coloured with distress inks.

To complete my card, I added a sentiment from Clearly Besotted.

The Golden Egg

Happy Sunday!

Today I’m playing along in the Color Throwdown challenge which has a palette of lime green, aqua and gold.

Such an interesting combo! As I’m making Easter cards at the moment, I decided to create a little Easter scene using distress oxide inks and dies by My Favorite Things, Poppystamps and Memory Box! e and a few Spellbinders flowers coloured with distress inks! Plus a sentiment from Taylored Expressions! Lots of different brands here! It was so much fun to make!

Thanks for stopping by!
