Little Snowdrop vase

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Today I’m playing along in the CAS on Friday challenge which has the theme of ‘spring flowers’!

Although my snowdrops have mostly faded away, I really wanted to use the beautiful snowdrop image from Penny Black’ s Wintry Whites mini stamp set (30-634)! I fussy cut and coloured the image with my Twinkling H2O paints. I then smooshed some distress ink onto my card base, added a frame from the Framed die set (51-622) and a sentiment from the Fragrant Friends stamp set (30-807).

You warm my heart

Happy Friyay everyone!

Today I’m playing along in the The Card Concept challenge using products sent to me by Penny Black.

After playing around with lots of different ideas for the beautiful Wholeheartedly cling stamp (40-817), I ended up stamping it on a square card base using a grey ink.  I then used my Prismacolour pencils to add colour and definition to the leaves and stems! I certainly needed sharp pencils for this!

I added a sentiment from the Warm My Heart stamp set (30-895) and a few hearts from yesterday’s crafting and sequins to complete my card.

I love the foliage heart in the inspiration image, although I veered from their colour palette with my CAS creation!

You make my heart smile

Hello everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the theme challenge at The Paper Players using Penny Black supplies.

To start, I inked up an image from the Bunches of Love stamp set (30-890) and coloured it using my Twinkling H2O paints before cutting it with the coordinating die set (51-726).

I then cut the heart frame using a die from the fabulous Lovely Borders die set (51-484) and adhered the panel to coloured cardstock. I then added my image and a sentiment from the Words Sweet stamp set (30-525) to complete my card.

Mailing Bunches of love

Hello everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches using a brand new Penny Black stamp set called Bunches of Love (30-890) and its coordinating die set (51-726).

To start with, I created an ink blended panel and lifted some ink using water. I coloured the beautiful envelope image with my Twinkling H2O paints and then cut round it with the coodinating die. I adhered the image over the panel and then added the sentiment from the stamp set and a few small sequins to complete my card.

Day 11 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2021

Hi everyone!

As Tracey McNeely isn’t running her 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year, I have created my own event using 25 days from Tracey’s event posts over the last decade, as I explained in this post.

Day 11’s inspiration is Day 12, 2016.

This was another tough one as I don’t have many images that are similar to the style used for the inspiration tags. While I was looking at Tracey’s tag, I remembered my old Basic Grey festive sets and used the Santa image from one of those sets – I stamped it in a very light ink and then went over the lines using my prisma pencils.

Thanks for stopping by!

Pinecone Bundle

Happy Sunday everyone!

Today I’m playing along with this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge .

I cut and coloured the Memory Box Smooth Pinecones and Antique Pine label dies. I snipped off the label section of the die so that I had two separate pine branches. I adhered a couple of patterned paper strips to my card base before arranging my die cuts on top. Finally I added a Mama Elephant sentiment and a few pearls.

Thanks for stopping by!
