Hi everybody, hope your week is good so far! We were blown away by the all your beautiful creations entered in last week's Anything Goes challenge, thank you to everyone who joined in.

Here is my DT card for this week's Addicted to Stamps and More challenge: Make Your Mark - make a card using colour pencils, crayons, marker pens, water colours.

Our fabulous sponsor is Paper Nest Dolls who will be offering a prize to our Top Addict.

My card was made using stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn Blissful Botanicals set, coloured in with SU! markers and a little strip of Bo Bunny paper.

Hi everyone, this is my first entry ever on Merry Monday Christmas Card Club: use red, green and kraft on your card plus ribbon or twine.

Stamps from Bells and Boughs by PTI, inked with SU markers (Wild Wasabi, Real Red and Crumb Cake) and some Crumb Cake card. It's a stamped ribbon, hope this is OK.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

Addicted to Stamps and More #61 - Anything goes


Hi everyone, it's time for the start of a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More and this week it's Anything Goes.

Our fabulous sponsor is Paper Nest Dolls who will be offering a prize to our Top Addict.

For my DT card, it's another silhouette design. I had made this background a couple of weeks ago while playing around by colouring a piece of white card using some Cut N Dry foam and a few different TH distress ink colours and then splashed it with water. Thought my new Sheena Douglass stamps would be good to go, so stamped the flowers and butterfly in black Archival, sentiment by Hobby Art. Was going to mount it on a coloured card but I think white looks better ...

Don't forget to check out the gorgeous inspiration from the other DT ladies at the ATSM challenge blog.

Thanks for stopping by!
