I stamped an ice cream from the Altenew Way Too Sweet stamp set on each square, using Versafine… Continue reading Color Throwdown #396
I'm playing along with the CAS(E) This Sketch challenge today. I started by stamping on watercolour card the large floral image from the WPlus9 Watercolour Anemones stamp set. I used pumice stone distress ink. As distress inks aren't really meant for stamping, it gives a much looser watercolour style to the image.

I've had a card in mind for a while to create a background using the Avery Elle Dotted Borders die set. It's a great way to create a clean and simple card, and use up some off cuts of paper that you might have. I like the colours from the MFT Colour Challenge this week, so… Continue reading Waves Background

I started by… Continue reading Altenew May Inspiration Challenge
