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!

Hi Everyone!
Well, I don’t know what’s happened to summer! It’s very autumnal here today, which made taking a photo of today’s card quite challenging!
Anyway, here it is! I used a stamp and die set from My Favourite Things to create the main image and then added a sentiment using a combination of stamps and alphabet dies from Altenew. The letters are actually cut from glitter paper, but I just couldn’t capture the shimmer in a photo today.
I’m entering this card into two challenges – Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge (seeing stars) and the My Favorite Things Colour Challenge.
Thanks for stopping by!

There’s another fabulous sketch at Case This Sketch this week! For my card, I embossed a Hero Arts background stamp with white satin pearl embossing powder. I then blended a mix of regular distress inks (Seedless Preserves and Abandoned Coral) and Antique Linen distress oxide ink and wiped over the embossing to remove any excess ink. I used water to lift some of the colour from the butterfly wings and splattered a little randomly across the rest of the background.
I added a vellum banner, Hero Arts sentiment and some Memory Box butterflies cut from glitter cardstock to finish off the card.
Thanks for stopping by!

I loved the sketch for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge, but it took me quite a while to decide on my card. Then I remembered the gorgeous Memory Box Blooming Lotus outline die! I bought it online a few years ago, but never used it because it was so much bigger than I had expected! I thought it would be perfect as the focal point for my entry.
I used distress inks to create a background which I then cut and inlaid into an outline cut from glitter paper. It’s so sparkly in real life!

Hi everyone!
I was super excited that both Seedless Preserves and Abandoned Coral were included in the latest Distress Oxide ink release! I couldn’t wait to get my hands on them and play! They are absolutely gorgeous!
Anyway, for this card, I included some Broken China oxide ink as well to create a background which I spritzed lightly with perfect pearls to add a bit of shimmer.
I used some glitter paper to cut out a fabulous background die from Memory Box and adhered it on top of my distressed panel.
To finish off the card, I used a sentiment from My Favorite Things.
Thanks for looking!

Hi everyone
I didn’t have too much time to craft today but wanted to do a white-on-white card, which is the theme for the current Addicted to CAS challenge.
I used dies from Memory Box, Winnie and Walter and Penny Black to cut regular white cardstock and glitter cardstock (but I’m afraid you can’t see the glitter very well). Anyway, I thought I’d add a vellum panel behind the main die cut image… then I added some flowers…. then some pearls… I couldn’t stop myself….. Not sure the end result really qualifies as CAS, although in my defence there is still a fair bit of white space….
Thanks for looking!
