Love in a flower pot for Purple Onion Designs!

Hi, it’s time to get all Valentinesy!  So I’m here with a card for  Purple Onion Designs, and once again it’s clean & simple…  but would you believe that I actually used 4 different stamp sets to make this card, CAS can be deceiving sometimes.

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’ll Always Pick You (video)!

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.

Spring is in the Air

This month the challenge is  Spring is in the Air  and I just had to play with some fabulous stamps from Hero Arts & Flourishes.

Gotta say that this is not my fave colour combination and when I think about it maybe it’s the fact that my school uniform was dark green and bright yellow and I wore it for way too many years….   I don’t mind how this card turned out but you can’t love everything you make right, I’m thinking maybe in different colours?

Hello Splat Attack… and a chance to SAVE at AnnaBelle Stamps! !

Back today with a card for AnnaBelle Stamps where we are playing with one of our new stamp sets Splat Attack and the best part is that you can SAVE 20% on this stunning set!

I decided not to go with the ‘splat’ idea for this card as I thought it would be too obvious, so I just played with some fab coloured inks and made a pattern instead.  Gotta say this card is incredibly different to the original version I had in my mind and it looked at the bin more than once lol, but I think I saved it, you can let me know.
