Handmade Flowers


Hello everybody, and a warm welcome to new member, Sandie.

I've made this card for Creative Card Crew, Challenge 34 - Handmade flowers. Inspiration is from Inkspirational which is a sketch challenge this week.


I used an old Martha Stewart punch and white card to punch the flowers, shaped using an embossing tool on an embossing/paper piercing mat and coloured them with some TH ink and an aqua brush.

Would also like to enter this as a second entry in Crafts 4 Eternity - flowers.

Thank you so much for looking in!

Muse #14 and Crafts 4 Eternity #120


Hi everyone, and a special hello to new members, Deepti and Anita.

The beautiful inspiration at Muse this week is by the talented Virginia Lu and here's my interpretation.



I've used various flower stamps by Stampin' Up! and sentiment by Clearly Besotted. Had lots of fun stamping this.

Would also like to enter this at Crafts 4 Eternity: Use lots of flowers.

Thank you for visiting and have a nice day!

Addicted to Stamps and More #42 - Make Your Mark


Hello everybody, it's time for a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More and this week it's Make Your Mark - anything goes so long as you use marker pens in some shape or form.

Our generous sponsor for this challenge is Heather Ellis, who will be offering a prize to our Top Addict.

I've used TH distress markers for my DT cards as I wanted them to have a bit of a "vintage feel" and have two to show you. The stamps on both are by Cleared Besotted.


Please do check out all the beautiful inspiration from the other DT ladies at ATSM and we look forward to seeing all your amazing marker creations.

Have fun!

The Play Date Cafe #178


Hi everyone, here's a one layer card I made using this week's Play Date Cafe colours.  Flower stamps are from Stampin' Up Summer Silhouettes, sentiment by PTI.




This is another card I made using the colours and the same stamp set, which has more "stuff" on it. I wasn't that pleased with it as I often I find it easier to keep things more simple.


Thank you for stopping by, have a nice day!

Fusion Hypothesis 3


Wow, fabulous inspiration provided by the Fusion team this week!



I've taken inspiration mostly from the sketch and borrowed (sort of) of the colour from the photo inspiration.  The flourish is created by the negative space cut by a Marianne die.

Thank you for stopping by today!
