AAA Cards, ATSM, Happy Little Stampers, Time Out


Another leaf card but this time I wanted to use bold fresh colours so I used some little leaf dies with coloured card and used another die to give some texture in the background.

ATSM, Fusion, Happy Little Stampers, Less Is More, Seize The Birthday



Hi everyone, I like using vellum on cards so wanted to join in at Less Is More where the theme this week is Acetate or Vellum.

I stamped flowers and leaves, heat embossed in white on vellum, and coloured on the back with alcohol markers. All cut out and attached to a soft grey card.

Time Out, Christmas Card Challenges, ATSM



Hi everyone, I hope you're having a good week.

My card is a CASE of Ardyth's pretty card at Time Out (CASE), inspired by the flowers and colours.



The flowers and foliage were stamped in various shades of red and green, with gold liquid pearls in some of the flower centres.

Give Thanks


Hello everyone, happy Saturday.
I used a watercolour card base, stencilled and splatted background, the solid leaf stamp was inked with distress markers and misted with water, the leaf veins and sentiment stamped with distress ink. Was quite pleased how it turned out.

CAS Watercolour, ATCAS and Happy Little Stampers




Greetings, fellow crafters. 

To make my card, I used watercolour tube paints to create a background which (hopefully) gives the impression of trees in Autumn, added a die cut frame and a leaf which was stamped, water coloured and fussy cut.

I'm joining in at Loll and Bonnie's fabulous new challenge, CAS Watercolour, where the theme is Autumn, and there is a design team call. Fingers crossed!!

Hi everyone, I hope you are well and enjoying our Indian summer. No autumn leaves here yet!

I sponged ink through a stencil to create a background, and sponged inks onto the die-cut leaves.

CASology, Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, Time Out



Hi everyone, I hope you're having a good weekend.

It was the first day of Autumn two days ago here in the UK, our leaves are still green but I wanted to make something with an "autumnal feel".

The stitched leaf die-cuts were inked using Cut N Dry Foam with distress inks, I added a stitched circle die cut from vellum and a SSS die-cut sentiment, with some ink splattering in the background.

Thanks for looking!
