I'm playing along with the Seven Hills Crafts March challenge today. It's a sketch challenge, which I always enjoy. I thought I'd combine two challenges with one card, so I'm using the colours from the MFT Colour Challenge too, which are greens, yellow and beige. I'll link to both challenge pages at the end of… Continue reading March sketch challenge

MFT Fall Florals Bouquet
I had some die cut flowers and leaves left over from when I made my last 'fall florals' card, so this was a nice quick card to make. How I made this card: I attached a strip of black and white striped paper to the edge of an A6 card base, then added piece of… Continue reading MFT Fall Florals Bouquet

How I made this card: On a piece of white watercolour card, I stamped lollipops from the Altenew Way Too Sweet stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Once all the images were stamped, I created… Continue reading Birthday Lollipops

WPlus9 Fresh Cut Wreaths
I've had the WPlus9 Fresh Cut Wreaths set on a wishlist for a while. So I was excited to see a nearly new set appear on eBay, and even more excited to have the winning bid. The set I won is a little stained from use but this is perfectly normal and shouldn't put you… Continue reading WPlus9 Fresh Cut Wreaths

How I made this card: I chose to use my zig clean colour real brush pens to do the background. I scribbled blues and greens in… Continue reading Watercolour Lifting
Daily Marker Colouring Challenge: Beautiful Friend Fuchsias

I thought I'd use them to colour this beautiful fuchsia from Clearly Besotted. How I made this card: I stamped the… Continue reading Daily Marker Colouring Challenge: Beautiful Friend Fuchsias

I'm longing for Spring now, with brighter evenings and hopefully some better weather. When I decided to make a card today, it just had to include butterflies, to make me think of those Spring days ahead. How I made this card: I blended peacock feathers and mowed lawn distress ink on to some white card.… Continue reading Beautiful Butterflies
Clearly Besotted Text Me
I've had this set for a while but have only just got around to making a card with it. It's a really fun set, which is unfortunately now discontinued. How I made this card: On a scrap of grey paper, I stamped some different sentiments, smileys and musical notes in grey ink for a tone… Continue reading Clearly Besotted Text Me
Daily Marker Colouring Challenge: Doodle Buds
I love this doodle buds set! It's very versatile and really lends itself to different colouring techniques. This time I decided to go for a messy watercolour look. This was a quick and simple card to make. I stamped the images onto watercolour card with Versafine onyx black ink and set it aside to dry.… Continue reading Daily Marker Colouring Challenge: Doodle Buds
