Hi everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the colour challenge at the CAS Colours and Sketches challenge.
I used a Taylored Expressions stencil for the oval and added die cuts by Simply Graphic and Altenew. The Altenew vase is cut from a piece of my beloved Basic Grey paper! The sentiment is from a very versatile Mama Elephant set.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
It’s time for another challenge at AAA Cards! This fortnight we’d like you to create a CAS card with as much white space as possible and if you want to join with our optional twist, please add some stars to your creation! Our sponsor is Uniko.
I have a LARGE collection of stars dies…. I think it took me longer to choose the dies to use than it did to create this CAS card! In the end, I selected this fun star branch die by Simply Graphic and a Spellbinders star die. The sentiment is from a My Favorite Things set – I really wanted to use the phrase ‘You’re a Star’, but oddly I only have two stamps with that phrase and neither worked for my design!
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, Sue, who is quite new to blogging but has some lovely cards and stories on her blog – go check it out!!
Hope you can play along with us!

Hello everyone!
I’m so honoured to be the guest designer over at the Color Hues challenge this fortnight! The colour palette this time is blue and orange.
I was so excited to see this palette – there are so many possibilities for this combo! I thought about a pumpkin scene but in the end I decided to use the gorgeous Fir and Foliage No 1 stamp set. I can’t believe I’ve had this set for ages but have never played with it! I used the palest three inks from the Altenew Warm & Cozy ink set plus a couple of brown distress inks for the trunk and branches as neutrals are permitted in the challenge. I used Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Faded Jeans distress inks for my blended background panel. The sentiment is by Hero Arts.
The Color Hues challenge team members have come up with some gorgeous inspiration – you can see all their cards on the blog. Hope you can play along!

Hello everyone!
Today I’m playing along the Color Hues challenge! The palette this fortnight is gold and cream.
This colour combo screams Christmas card to me and so I pulled out my Simply Graphic dies, speciality gold card and got crafty! I decided to use gold textured mirror card and glitter card for my baubles and I actually used two different creams for the card base and branch, but that hasn’t photographed well. And because you can never have to much shimmer on a Christmas card, I splattered some gold paint across the background before adhering the die cuts. The sentiment is from a Christmas sentiment die set by Hunkydory.

Hi there!
Today I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge .
So many different products/brand on this little card! I used the Penny Black Leaf Pattern background die for the large panel. I also wanted to use an old Simon Says Stamp die (Berkshire Leaf) for the strip on the sketch, but I felt it didn’t work with the intricate die cut panel… so I adhered it to a strip of the same coloured paper – I like how it turned out! I added a few Simply Graphic die cuts and a Hero Arts sentiment to complete my card.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the challenge at the CAS Colours and Sketches challenge – this week is a fun colour challenge! I did find it a bit difficult to match the Stampin’ Up ink colours to something in my craft room, so in the end I used an Altenew ink and coloured cardstock!
I stamped a Tim Holtz background on my card base before adhering the Simply Graphic die cuts. To complete my card, I added a Sugar Pea sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by!
