Happy Monday everyone!
Today I’m playing along with this week’s Color Throwdown challenge which has a fabulous combo of navy, blue, green and orange) as well as the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
For my card, I used uneven square dies from Marianne Design plus the beautiful Playful Petals Bundle die from Memory Box. The sentiment is from my go-to set my Sugar Pea Designs.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Saturday everyone!
Today I’m playing along with this week’s Color Throwdown challenge which has a lovely autumnal combo of red, purple and orange.
For my take I used very old and very new products by Penny Black. The Tree-heart stamp (40-505) is from 2012 – I love that it hasn’t been retired! It’s always been one of my favourite trees to colour! I paired it with a sentiment from the Autumn is Calling stamp set (30-863) which has only just been released!

Hi everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This is very similar to the card I made for the Two Quarters challenge at AAA Cards a few weeks ago, although one of the shaded areas is definitely smaller than the other! Plus I don’t have to get my ruler and calculator out for this one!
The Altenew Flower Vine stamp and die set have been sitting on my table since I made a card for the Altenew Ultimate Challenge Blog hop a few weeks ago. It’s such a pretty set, but like so many stamp sets, I’ve rarely used it since I bought it in early 2019. I thought it would be perfect for the sketch challenge. I coloured it with my beloved Twinkling H2O paints and added some blue splatters and baby sequins too.
I’m also going to add this to the link up over at the Altenew Ultimate Challenge Blog hop.

Hi there everyone!
Next today I’m playing along with the fab combo in this week’s Color Throwdown challenge (pink, mint and grey).
First, I embossed the Hello with a Bouquet of Flowers die by Pinkfresh Studio onto white card before colouring the leaves and petals and trimming round the edge of the die cut. I then used the die to cut some grey cardstock and adhered the die cut to the coloured image. Finally I adhered it to my card base. Quite a simple card, but you would not believe how long it took me to colour that image – so time consuming!

Hi there!
I am so delighted to be a Guest Designer for this month’s CAS Christmas Challenge. The theme this month is ‘ornaments’.
For my CAS card, I used a beautiful PaperArtsy stamp which fits the theme but is rather unusual! I’ve has this set for a while now, but I don’t think I’ve ever used this image. It was such fun to colour with my Twinkling H2O paints – the shimmer is amazing in real life but always so difficult to capture on camera!
I was a bit nervous about adding a sentiment as the first few sentiments I tried seemed a bit too large, so I was quite relieved when I found this small sentiment by Mama Elephant.
The CAS Christmas DT has come up with some amazing inspiration over on the challenge blog. I hope you can play along!

Hello everyone!
Welcome to Day 26 of Christmas in July 2021! Today I’m playing along with the colour challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches. I wasn’t initially planning to play along with this colour combo because I have so many non-traditional festive cards but inspiration hit me last night when I was looking through my Penny Black stamps.
I love this Christmas tree from the All Wrapped Up set (30-607) and I thought it would be perfect for the colour combo! After creating a subtle background frame with distress ink, I stamped the tree and coloured it using my Twinkling H2Os – it has such a wonderful shimmer! To complete my very CAS card, I added a sentiment from an older set called Christmas Fashion (30-127).
Thanks for stopping by!
