Golden birthday

Happy Saturday Everyone!

For today’s card, I used a set of dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs (which I bought after Christmas but hadn’t got round to using yet!) and a die from Penny Black Stamps that I have been trying to get my hands on for a few months. Luckily my local craft store had a Penny Black delivery last weekend and I was able to snap it up!

I used the four colours from this week’s Color Throwdown challenge (navy, light pink, white and gold) on a kraft card base. When I originally put the sentiment on the card, it looks a bit ‘lost’ so I added a small vellum rectangle to help it stand out a bit more.

I’m also entering this card into the current Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge (going round in circles).

Thanks for looking!

Miss You

Hi there!

For today’s card I chose an older stamp from Penny Black together with an Altenew sentiment. I coloured the image stamp with distress markers and then spritzed it with a little water before stamping on to watercolour paper.

This was a super fast card to make, although I couldn’t resist adding a few sequins to this one as well!

I’m entering this into the current Case This Sketch challenge.

Happy Birthday, Daffodil!

For this card, I used one of my favourite stamps by Penny Black and coloured it using my Twinkling H2Os. I trimmed a panel and then added the cross stitched embossing to two sides using a Lawn Fawn die. The sentiment is by Clearly Besotted and the patterned paper is from My Mind’s Eye.

I’m entering this into the Penny Black and More Challenge – spring and also the current Casology challenge – ‘season’.

Thanks for stopping by!

A Spring Walk in London

Hi everyone!

The theme for this week’s Less is More challenge is ‘spring walk’. I interpreted it a little differently from others….

Although it has been sunny in lovely London recently, many (most?!) spring walks require an umbrella, so I chose this fabulous stamp from Penny Black for my entry and coloured it with my trusty Twinkling H2O’s for a bit of shimmer.

Thanks for stopping by!
