BLOOMS,BIRDS, BEES

 Good Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at Allsorts and the theme which runs alongside Anything Goes is Blooms, Birds and/or Bees.


For my card I have used two Pretty Pink Posh sets, Spring Birdhouse and Spring Foliage dies.  The bird is an unbranded one and I have coloured him with copics and shaded the flowers with various inks.  Memory box clouds and a sentiment from Penny Black finish it off.



The prize for the lucky winner is a Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Glorious Bouquet stamp set from Buddly Crafts.

FAVOURITE COLOUR COMBO?

Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at As You Like It where we would like to see projects using your favourite colour combo.

I do love yellow and green on white.  I think it's so fresh looking and for my card I have used a neglected set from The Greetery called Birthday Blooms.  I have stamped various pieces  then die cut and arranged around the large sentiment which is also part of the set.  A die from CraftAddiction was used for the main white square.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

I hope you can join us and you can pop over here to see the rest of the inspiration from the team.

Thank you for visiting and have a good day.  It looks as though it's going to be a warm one here.

FROM THE GARDEN

Good Morning All,

We have a new challenge starting over at Allsorts and the theme alongside Anything Goes is Anything Goes From the Garden.



I have used a cute Penny Black hedgie image for my card and coloured with copics.  The sentiment is from a LOTV set and I have cut the image out with a Spellbinders set, Venise Lace.   Papers are from First Edition and I've used a MFT mini scalloped edger to divide the two patterns.

Our prize is three die sets from Oakwood Direct and an A5 stamp set from AALL and Create

FAVOURITE SENTIMENT

Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at As You Like It where we are asking for your favourite sentiment. 

I nearly always make birthday cards and I love this large happy birthday die which is from Simon Says Stamp as it goes so well on the larger cards I make for the young ones in the family. 

This is for one of the granddaughters who is mad on these K Pop demon hunters.  I've never seen them so not sure what they are about etc. but they do seem quite popular with girls.   I've used an image from Pinterest and shaded a piece of scrap paper in the same colours to cut the sentiment out.  A few glittery stars and a heart have also been added.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

I hope you can join us and you can pop over to the challenge here to see the inspiration from the rest of the team.

Thank you for your visit.

A LITTLE BIRD TOLD ME..

Morning Everyone,

I don't know about anyone else, but it's been way too warm here in the UK for me this weekend.  I've taken the opportunity to have a play in the craft room and came up with this card.


I decided to use a really old stamp from Penny Black called Good Friends.  I bought it a few years ago, second hand, but have never inked it up.  I have coloured her with copics and also used an old Dovecraft paper pad called Painted Blooms.  I have inked the edges of the circle die and sentiment with distress ink and layered everything up with cream cardstock.

I would like to enter:

Penny Black Saturday - Anything Goes

It's going to be another warm one today so take care.  I won't be going very far that's for sure.

See you soon,

For my card I have used the cute Penny Black mice. I think it's called A Stitch in Time and I  have coloured them with copics amd used old LOTV backing papers, together with a gingham ribbon and pearls.  The sentiment is from a Penny Black set.

FAVOURITE SEASON AT AYLI

 Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at As You Like It and would like to know what your favouirte Season is and why please.

Mine is definitely Spring.  I love it when the weather starts to get a bit warmer, the gardens start to come to life again and I can get out there and do some tidying.

For my card I have used my Spring Boots again from Dreamees, this time in green and I have pulled out a square doily from my stash and used tags from CraftAddiction UK.  The papers come with the images and I have used a mini scalloped border die from MFT under the striped paper.

I hope you will be able to join us and I will see you again soon.
