A Happy Birthday with flowers

It is circles time at Pals Paper Arts this week with the challenge based on this sketch.

07-23 PPA 261

I used the English Garden Designer Series Paper on my card.  I have been trying to make better use of my DSP as I find that I buy the pack (as I just have to have it) and then do not use it.  So my challenge to myself is to use more of the beautiful papers that I have collecting.  They look much better made up into a card instead of sitting in my storage boxes.

Just adding a butterfly

Hi everyone, just sharing my card that I made for the challenge this week at Just Add Ink. The challenge is to add butterflies.

I have this terrific stash of Washi Tape (I am addicted to the stuff), so I created my background by using a mix of Washi Tape from the 2014-2016 In Colour, Everyday Chic and Bohemian Designer Washi Tape packs.  The colour scheme that I have gone with is Blackberry Bliss, Basic Black, Whisper White and Silver.

Designer's Choice

It is designer's choice for the challenge at Can You Case It.

CYCI#79

For my card I black embossed the floral image from the Awesomely Artistic stamp set on Tip Top Taupe cardstock.  I decided to use the painting with bleach technique on my card and I had no idea what the colour would bleach out to.  It came up a lovely pale yellow that matched perfectly with So Saffron, so my colour scheme was decided, So Saffron, Basic Black and Tip Top Taupe.

Frame It

The challenge at The Paper Players is a clean and simple challenge featuring "Frames"


The frame concept is terrific.  I ended up making two cards and had difficulty in deciding which one to enter.  I went with Card One.

Card one I used a colour scheme of Whisper White, Basic Black and Tip Top Taupe.  Stamps sets Awesomely Artistic, Watercolor Wings with the sentiment from And Many More.


My second card is made using the Flower Patch stamp set and matching dies.

Some Strawberries ...

Hi everyone, sharing my card for the Pals Paper Arts challenge the week based on this great sketch.

PPA260

I took inspiration from Michelle Gleeson's card for this challenge.  I loved the strawberry image on Michelle's card, so I cased this.  I water coloured the image with Real Red, Old Olive, Sahara Sand and Soft Suede.  The DSP on my card is from the Farmer's Market DSP paper pack.

Just Add Ink #271

Hi everyone, just sharing my card I made for the challenge this week at Just Add Ink.  The challenge is based on this terrific sketch, it was just perfect to use the Triple Banner Punch and the circle punches and dies.
JAI #271
I used the stamp set "Circles of Spring" for the sentiment which I punched out with the 1 3/8" circle punch.  I layered this onto a scalloped circle from the Baker's Box Thinlits, the edges of the circle are more jagged than scallop but they worked perfectly for the look that I was after.  I then layered this onto a scalloped circle made using the 1 3/4" scalloped circle punch and the final layer was a circle made using the 2" circle punch.  I liked the finished layered effect.  The banners were made using the Triple Banner Punch and the DSP is from the "Go Wild" Paper Stack.
