Hi there!
Next up today, I’m playing along with the sketch challenge over at CAS Colours and Sketches.
I used dies by Simply Graphic together with a Lil Inker Designs sentiment and a Echo Park stencil. I decided to use the colours from the Color Hues challenge but I got confused with the closing time for the challenge so didn’t submit that in time!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
I have a few cards to share today before the challenge closes. First up, I’m playing along with the sketch challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments.
I knew I wanted to use the fabulous new Penny Black Grazing Fawn die (51-672) as my focal point again and I also wanted to stay true to my preferred CAS style. This sketch had lots of layers so I decided to create an ink-blended/stencilled base layer with the Penny Black Leaf Frolic Stencil (25-019) and added a subtle piece of patterned paper on top of that. The sentiment is from the Hello Deer mini stamp set (30-766) (partially stamped).
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello again everyone!
After a lovely day yesterday celebrating a dear friend’s special birthday, I finally got to my craft table this weekend to make my entry into the current Color Throwdown which has a nautical palette of light grey, aqua and navy.
I paired a brand new Memory Box die set (Marina Sailboats) with an older die (Silent Snowfall) that I repurposed to represent water! The sentiment is from an older Simon Says Stamp set called Sailing.
I’m also entering this into the current Memory Box challenge where the theme is ‘feeling blue’.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Friyay friends!
Today I’m using some brand new Birch Press Design dies that landed on my door mat yesterday. Look at that beautiful Eloquent Butterfly layering die! Isn’t it fabulous? I already have a layering butterfly die but I couldn’t resist adding another one to my collection!
I used the inspiration photo from the June If you give a crafter a cookie challenge. I loved the colour combo and designs! I paired the butterfly with a stem from the beautiful Sugar Pea Designs Botanical Branches die set
The background is also by Birch Press Deisgn – the Pinpoint Radial Plate.

Hi there!
I was struck down with a migraine over the weekend so I haven’t been able to play in all the challenges that I wanted to enter this week. Luckily I was able to squeeze in a bit of crafty time this evening to play along with the beautiful colour challenge over at CAS Colours and Sketches.
I haven’t been able to find a UK supplier for Paper Rose dies, which is so disappointing as they are gorgeous! I managed to pop this fabulous Little Foliage Circle die in my last Simon Says Stamp order a few months ago and today I finally got round to using it. I coloured the die cut with my Twinkling H2Os and layered it onto piece of coloured cardstock – this is much lighter in real life but I can’t quite get the true colour to show up properly in my photo.
The sentiment is by Clearly Besotted.

Hello everyone!
Today I’m playing along with two of my favourite challenges, the Color Throwdown and Freshly Made Sketches.
I’ve been waiting for the Altenew Spring Mantle Decor set to reach the UK since it was released in mid April. I snapped it up as soon as Seven Hills Crafts got it into their store over the bank holiday!
I carefully blended Salvaged Patina and Picked Raspberry distress oxide inks to create the background. In addition to the foliage from the new die set, I added part of a branch from the Berries and Branches die set. The sentiment is also by Altenew.
Thanks for stopping by!
