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!

Hi Everyone!
Today, I’m playing along with a couple of challenges – the Color Throwdown challenge (kraft, gold, green and white) and the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge!
I applied a layer of gold Cosmic Shimmer Luna paste to a kraft base. Whilst it was drying, I cut the branch (Bright Rosa) and added a few white Nuvo drops to some berries. To complete my take, I added a Clearly Besotted sentiment.
I think I may have spent longer trying to photograph this card than I did making it! The Cosmic Shimmer is fabulous, but incredibly difficult to capture!
Thank for stopping by!

Hi Everyone!
Just popping in quickly to share my card for this week’s Paper Players Challenge – something new.

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 Everyone!
Today, I’m playing along with a couple of challenges – the Color Throwdown challenge (red, brown and white) and the Time-Out Challenge!
I used a couple of dies from Simply Graphic and coloured the berries using an Altenew alcohol marker. For the vase, I used an Impression Obsession die and adhered another die cut from the Simply Graphic die that I used in the bouquet.
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!
