Daisy Springtime Wishes

Happy Monday everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown which has another springtime combo of celery green, yellow and aqua.

I used used Shabby Shutters distress oxide ink to create the celery background panel and then The Greetery’s Daisy Chain die. I coloured the daisies with coloured pencils  and added a sentiment by Memory Box.

Springtime Pail

Happy Sunday everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. What a fabulous sketch to play with this week!

I bought the Taylored Expressions Antique Pails die set over Easter and I thought the large pail would work perfectly with the sketch. I paired it with the Honeysuckle Plant by paper Rose Studio and the Stamp Market’s Ready to Bloom floral die.

The sentiment is by Memory Box.

Floral Twirl and Greenery

Happy Saturday everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown which has a clean springtime combo of dark green, yellow, mint and white.

I used products kindly sent to me by Penny Black for this card. I have been trying to use the beautiful Floral Twirl die (51-768) again and today was the day, along with the beautiful Airy die (51-423) and a stem from the Garden Greens set (51-652). All the dies were coloured with distress oxide inks and I added detail with coloured pencil plus some stickles!

The sentiment is from the ever so versatile Snippets set (30-283).

Thanks for stopping by!

Blue daisies

Happy Monday everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I have to admit, I spent a long time thinking about how I could use the sketch this week. I toyed with using patterned paper or embossed pieces of card but in the end, I chose to replicate the skecth with a simple ink blended background and added some products kindly sent to me by Penny Black.

I coloured the three daisies from the Delicate Daisies die set (51-763) with distress inks and arranged them on my background. Even thought I’m a CAS cardmaker, I felt that the card still needed something else, so I added some leafy fronds from the An Impression die set (51-735).

Finally I stamped a sentiment from the Charisma stamp set (30-969) and added a few gems to complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Peek a boo chick

Happy Easter everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge where the theme is ‘add texture’.

Using a Creative Expressions stencil , I applied texture paste across my card base and added a Memory Box egg and just a peek of the cute Simon says Stamp Peeking Chick die.

The sentiment is also from an older Simon Says Stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by!
