Muse #19, Color Throwdown #244 and SOC



Hi everyone, I've made a card for the Muse challenge #19 based on this beautiful card by this week's Muse, Michelle Williams.


Colours from Color Throwdown #244


I've taken inspiration from the general layout of words encircled by flowers. This is a one layer card, using PTI Daydreamer stamp set inked with SU! markers.

This is also for The Sisterhood of Crafters - Say It Loud. Make a card or project using only a sentiment, no images or pictures.

Thank you so much for looking!

Dynamic Duos #53 and OLW #140



Hi everyone, I've made this for One Layer Wednesday #140 - Border,  inspired by the colours at Dynamic Duos #53 - Pacific Point and Basic Black.


After masking off the bottom section of the card with low tack masking tape, I've stamped with the two part stamps in black and Pacific Point, then scribbled some of the marker onto an acrylic block, picked up some of the ink with a colour duster and added the sentiment.

Thank you so much for looking!

Less Is More week 120


Greetings, dear friends, is the sun shining where you are?

The challenge at Less Is More this week is a theme - cats and/or dogs. Make a card with your favourite pet or both. I have two gorgeous pet cats so have made this little cat card using a Magenta cat stamp, sentiment by Woodware.

I stamped the cat on watercolour paper, coloured with TH inks and aqua brush and hand-doodled the frame, cut around the cat and popped him up (sorry about the shadow on the photo).

Thanks for looking in. Hope you're having a good weekend!

Less Is More week 119



Hello everybody, the challenge this week at Less Is More is: one layer, use a coloured card blank, no white, cream or kraft.

I've used a yellow card blank, stamp by Hero Arts heat embossed in white and coloured with SU! markers.

This was so hard to photograph - had to use a flash which I don't normally do due to the overcast conditions today.


Here's another simple one using PTI stamps.

Thank you so much for looking!
