Day 3 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020

Hi there!

I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year.

The sponsor for Day 3 was Altenew. I love Altenew and have all their inks and quite a few older florals and dies… but I don’t have much from their recent releases. However, I still managed to use some Altenew product for this card.

I loved the tags made by the creative team and decided to use Norine‘s inspiration for my take. The embossed sentiment, base tag and fronds are by Altenew and I also used dies by Poppystamps.

Thanks for stopping by!

Multi coloured pumpkins

Hi everyone!

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

A few weeks ago, some amazing pumpkin shaped cookies popped up on my Instagram feed. The icing colours were fabulous so I saved the image, planning to use it at some point this autumn. When I saw the sketch challenge, I knew it was time to roll out those pumpkins and my distress inks! I used the Pumpkins and Gourds dies by Poppystamps. The sentiment is also by Poppystamps.

Monster Boo!

Hi there!

It’s been a while since I played along with a Case This Sketch challenge and so I decided to hop back into the challenge this week!

I used the brand new Whittle Monsters by Poppystamps. You see that little green monster? He is the whole reason I bought this die set! The set contains a cat as well, but I felt a ghost would be better in my scene here so I added one from my Whittle Ghost set. I created the background using distress oxide inks and a Hero Arts background stamp spritzed with water and the wooded frame is by Memory Box.

Autumn Monterey Vine

Hi everyone!

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

I cut my card base using he cool Modern Circle Cutout from Simon Says Stamp. I bought this as a real bargain a year or so ago and I’m so happy to be using it at last. I adhered a piece of Basic Grey paper behind the die cut. I then coloured the beautiful Poppystamps Monterey Vine die using regular distress inks and adhered it to my card. Finally I stamped a Hero Arts sentiment to complete my take.

Thanks for stopping by!

A sketch and colour challenge

Hi everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the challenge at the CAS Colours and Sketches challenge – every now and again they have a combined sketch and colour challenge and although it’s quite restrictive, I think that makes for a real challenge! Plus it’s so interesting to see what everyone comes up with and see how different every entry is!

First I sponged some Peeled Paint Distress Oxide ink to two corners of my card base. I die cut a white panel using a Simply Graphic dotty die and then adhered it to my cardbase. I used Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks for my centre panel and adhered the Viva Tree by Poppystamps. The sentiment is by Hero Arts.

Thanks for stopping by!
