Hi Everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge!
I pulled out the Hello with a Bouquet of Flowers die from Pinkfresh Studio and a couple of old backgrounds that I created with some distress oxide inks and colour bursts. I cut the panels and got to work inlaying all those little die cut bits. It took me a while but I like how it turned out in the end.
The sentiment is by Simon Says Stamp.
Thank for stopping by!

Hi Everyone!
I’ve taken a little break from challenged but when I saw the colour combo for this week’s Color Throwdown challenge and the sketch for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge I suddenly decided to play along at the last minute!
Lots of stencilling today – I created the egg using an Echo Park Paper Company stencil and a Memory Box egg die. Then, I used some embellishment mousse with a Colorbox stencil to create the textured background. The sentiment is by Simon Says Stamp.
Thank for stopping by!

Hi Everyone!
Today, I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge!
I used a Penny Black die set which I coloured using my Twinkling H2O paints before adhering it to a vellum die cut, also cut from a Penny Black die.
To complete my card, I added a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp.
Thank for stopping by!

Hi there!
Today I’m playing along with two challenges – the current Case This Sketch challenge and the Paper Players’ colour challenge.
I used dies by Simon Says Stamp and the Stamp Market. The patterned paper is by Basic Grey. Ah, how I miss Basic Grey!
Thank for stopping by!

My heart is broken by the suffering and devastation in Australia.
I have been fortunate to visit downunder quite a few times and have some of my fondest travel memories from my time there… spotting wild koala, worrying about crazy kangaroos and just being struck by the majesty of nature there.
On my first trip, my friends and I stumbled upon the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital and we loved learning about the work they were doing to nurse some very poorly koalas back to health.
Their recent work with poor burnt koalas is absolutely amazing and I’m so pleased to see that the donations they have received will enable them to set up the world’s first wild koala breeding programme.
This card is for the team there and all the heroes working so tirelessly downunder.
I used the sketch from the current Case This Sketch challenge and the koala die is from Simon Says Stamp.
Thank for stopping by!

Hi there!
It’s time for the first challenge of the year (and decade!!!) at AAA Cards! This fortnight we’d like you to create a CAS card using the sketch we’ve provided; our optional twist is ‘winter birthday’! Our sponsor is Craftyscrappers .
Now, I have a winter birthday and I like receiving all sorts of bright and cheerful cards so I decided to use some butterfly dies for my take on the challenge. I used the Simon Says Stamp Adeline Butterfly and Flickering Butterflies dies and cut them from a piece of card that I’d previously coated in various colours of Cosmic Shimmer Luna Paste.
I added a strip of white card embossed using a Crafts-Too folder and a Sugar Pea Designs sentiment to complete my take.
My team mates have come up with some beautiful cards which are on the AAA Cards challenge blog. We are also joined a previous challenge winner, Milka, who has some lovely inspiration on her blog!
Hope you can play along with us!
Thanks for stopping by!
