Less is More Challenge 360/361





Hello, I thought I would enter one final challenge for 2017 using one of my favourite stamp sets for one of my favourite challenges.  This weeks Less is More challenge is a sketch and I have stamped the flowers from CAS-ual Fridays Pretty Posies.  I white heat embossed and coloured with  Zigs in my signature pink!  The sentiment is from Altenew Label Love. I stamped the leaves with Memento London Fog ink. You can click here to check out the challenge for yourself.

 Thanks for looking and I would like to wish you a happy and safe 2018.  See you next year!

Guest Designer for Less is More

Hello and thanks for stopping by!  I am so excited to be Guest Designing over at the Less is More challenge blog today.  This is one of my favourite challenge blogs so I was honoured to be chosen as the October winner and invited to guest design for this weeks challenge.  The theme is birds/feathers so I have used the beautiful stamp from Papertrey Ink Feather Finery on my card.  I inked up the feather with Kaleidacolor - caribbean sea ink, gave it a light spritz with water and stamped onto some water color card stock.  I used the matching die to cut the feather out and mounted it onto my top folding card base.

CAS-ual Fridays Dreaming of a White Christmas

Hello and happy Friday!  This is the last CAS-ual Fridays challenge for the year and today we are Dreaming of a white Christmas. I can only dream of a white Christmas considering I live down under in Australia.  I hope one day to visit my sister who lives in the UK at Christmas time, hopefully that day will come soon enough!  But in the meantime I will dream LOL.  My Winter Christmas stamps are limited but I managed to come up with this card using the CAS-ual Fridays Christmas Sparkle stamp set.  I have white heat embossed my sentiment and stars onto a piece of navy blue card stock and tied a piece of silver twine around the top before adhering onto a white card base.

Fushion Challenge - Blue Gift


Hello and happy Friday!  Today I am entering a new to me challenge over at the Fushion Card Challenge blog.

I love the inspiration photo and the sketch so I chose to create FUSHION and used both!  I love blue and silver together!  I wrapped my blue ribbon around my card stock and added some silver twine, then I stamped my sentiment onto a little tag and tied it onto the bows with another piece of silver twine.  I adhered my panel onto a top folding card base with foam squares and called it a day.



Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #188


No automatic alt text available.

Hello and happy Friday!  It's time for a new challenge over at the CAS-ual Fridays challenge blog and this week our theme is "Winter Blues".  It is the first day of Summer here in Australia and we have had a long spell of hot weather  so I am dreaming of a cold winters day.  I made a birthday card since I don't have the need for wintery Christmas cards down here.  I used my Kaleidacolor Blue Breeze ink pad and the smooshing technique to make my background then stamped the sentiment from the Whole Shebang stamp set.
