It’s a Good Day!

Making cards for fun!  I  haven’t had the opportunity to do this in what feels like eons, life has been uber busy at the moment and no hope of settling down for a few more weeks yet.  But I couldn’t resist Lisa’s Wanna Sketch and the colours in this Runway Inspiration are perfect, I  thought I would also add the bunny for the ‘fur’ element too.

Riddle me this….  is it still a OLC when I have used coloured cardstock on top of a card base?

A Golden addiction!

Oh my goodness, I must have pushed my paper around this card for hours.  I started by making this fun panel of colour as I just loved the colours at CASE Study and then that was it.  But it had to be finished…  so I used Chrissy’s fab sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch and shazam it was done….  then I added the birds lol.   In my imagination this would make a great wedding card.

I found 10 minutes to spare (wink) after work today to join Paulina’s latest Craft Dash, such a great combo of colours!  I was inspired by this amazing CARD created by Cristina and when I rummaged through my stamp sets I had sooo many ideas and I finally settled on this fab Kelly Purkey set which I was fortunate to win from the most generous and talented Joy Taylor, Thanks hon!  I also decided to film while creating.

So you can see my video here or Watch it at Youtube.

Time for a new challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps!

Welcome  back for a new colour challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps.  I thought these colours screamed for flowers but after looking at them a little longer…  they would also be perfect on a Christmas design too.

This card was supposed to be a OLC (one layer card) but alas after a little ink mishap….  on the very first stamp I ended up paper piecing the bird, so maybe it’s a OL’ishC.
