I'm joining in with the MFT Camp Create today, with a card for the 'Monochromatic Magic' challenge. I started by looking at papers and inks that I own, to try and find a good colour match. I settled on a teal colour scheme, using Memendo Teal Zeal dye ink, a lovely teal chevron paper from… Continue reading Monochromatic Magic
I've been enjoying making cards with geometric patterns recently. I thought I'd share two very different cards I've made with the Mama Elephant Trifecta stamp set. This set features triangles and arrows to make your own patterns with and is very versatile. I started by heat embossing in white the triangle outlines from the set.… Continue reading Geometric cards with Mama Elephant Trifecta
Today I'm sharing a musical geometric patterned card I made for my brother. I ran some dark grey card through my die cut machine with the Lil'Inker Designs Woodgrain cover die. I blended distress ink in green and yellow onto white card, then used the Lil'Inker Designs Quilted Stitch cover die to add detail. I… Continue reading Musical Geometric Card
I'm playing along with this week's MFT sketch challenge today. I used the MFT Fall Florals stamps and dies which, combined with the coral background, gave the card a very Hawaiian feel. On watercolour card, I blended abandoned coral distress ink, flicking with water and pink perfect pearls before drying with a heat tool. I… Continue reading Hawaiian Florals

I started by using white pigment ink to stencil four balloons across the card front. Layering colour over white… Continue reading Balloons on Kraft

The card I'm sharing today was quick and simple to make. I started by drawing a faint line in pencil across a piece… Continue reading Lil’Inker Dual Stitched Triangles
I've started thinking about Christmas and making my own cards this year. If I don't start making them early, I know I won't be ready. For this card, I've used the colours from the Seven Hills Crafts July competition. Although it's a summery colour scheme, I think it works well for an alternative Christmas colour… Continue reading Christmas in July Part 1

A fun and quick card to share today. On watercolour card stock, I blended distress inks in blue and green. I then flicked the background with water, dabbing away the drops after a few seconds, to lift the colour underneath away, leaving a distressed background effect. I also flicked over the background some Ranger Perfect… Continue reading Three Cheers
I'm playing along with the MFT Sketch #287 today. I thought I'd combine it with the colours from their colour challenge #48. I started by die cutting a tag using the MFT Stitched Traditional Tags die set. I lightly drew a circle on the tag in pencil, by drawing around one of my circle dies.… Continue reading MFT Sketch Challenge 287
