I'm using the third colour palette from the Seven Hills Crafts October challenge for this card. Turquoise is one of my favourite colours so it was an easy choice for me.

Creating my own backgrounds for cards is one of my favourite techniques. I find it relaxing to choose some colours and a stamp set, then sit stamping whilst watching something on television. I created this card using the WPlus9 Summer Blooms stamp set and some Altenew inks, stamping the flowers and leaves repeatedly on a… Continue reading Blue Floral Background

The Altenew Birthday Greetings stamp set has fabulous sentiments plus a three step layered balloon.

I used yellow and green inks to stamp the rest of the layers, then die cut… Continue reading June Inspiration and Sketch Challenges
I'm playing along with the Color Throwdown challenge today. I was inspired by the ice cream photo and the lovely colours. I started by die cutting, from white card, three squares using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Squares dies.
