Face to face
Tuesday 22 March 2022
Let's face it!
Unfortunately my husband, daughter and myself have
come down with the dreaded COVID!
Me and my daughter have felt really ill this past few days
but today see a tiny improvement!
Husband has just been hit bad with it today.
I would not wish it on anyone and my heart
goes out to those who got it in the very first round!
Thankfully it didn't hit the week of the wedding!
Our new challenge theme at
has been chosen by Wendy
and she wants to see FACES.
I had to have a good hunt before I found this set that came
free with a magazine years and years ago.
Think it is from Visible Image but not sure.
I stencilled the background in pale green then stamped
the image on top of it.
With a sentiment stamp, I filled in the gaps
and then added colour to the flowers.
I finished with a eyelet and two words.

Stamping for Spring
For my mid month project over at
Stamping Sensations
I have used
Good Morning Magnolia stamp set.
Stamped and gold embossed, then water coloured
using my aqua painter with granny apple green,
old olive and polished pink ink pads.
I then water coloured the background using balmy blue.
Using the wink of stella brush I coloured the flower,
then splattered the whole card using the tip of the brush.
It doesn't show up well in the photo but nice and sparkly
in real life.
The sentiment is from Silhouette Scenes stamp set,
stamped in polished pink.
I mounted onto matching card and then to my base card.
Don't forget we have a great prize up for grabs!!

Spring Tag
It's the second week of Michele's challenge theme
flowers or plants
over at Tag Tuesday.
This week I have gone with a spring theme
with a plant pot and basket of flowers.
I have used Basket of Blooms,
Fable Friends and Love you to Pieces stamp sets.
They have been coloured up using blends
and the ink pads used are polished pink, bumblebee,
old olive and granny apple green.
I added some designer paper to the base
and finished with a bit of old olive and gold ribbon.

Driving by to say hello
I fancied having a go at the challenge over at
Less is More
where they want to see one layer and one word.
I masked off the bottom of my card, added ink using my blending
brushes and then spritzed with water to get the splodged effect!
I have used Driving By and Hello Ladybug stamp sets.
Inks - so saffron, balmy blue, highland heather and soft sea foam.
Blends - highland heather, daffodil delight, mint macaron,
smoky slate, balmy blue
