Double Day!


I'm giving a cheeky reminder to pop over to our new challenge
and click the follow button!!
It might well be worth your while 😉

***********************************


Our new challenge theme over at
is nature - flowers/birds, animals or anything goes option
but remember to stamp!

We have a lovely prize on offer too,
who wouldn't want to win these!!!

For my card I embossed some green card with a flower folder (Sizzix).
I then tore some vellum and added a foiled transfer
border to the middle from crafters companion.
I stamped the flowers using a stamp from Bee Crafty
called Vintage Springtime and coloured it up with markers.
I then stamped and die cut the pot from an SU set
called Country Flowers. I mounted it onto my base card to finish.

I would like to enter this into


***********************************************



It's also time for our new challenge at
and the theme this month is
use your favourite stamps and add ribbon/lace
along with anything goes option.

We have a lovely prize up for grabs here too!

So be sure and join us in both challenges this month!!

I pulled out an old but favourite stamp of mine called
On to Adventure (SU) to make a retirement card for a friend
who is heading off on a big holiday to celebrate!
She has been coloured up with markers and mounted onto
some lilac card. For the base I used the same card and
some paper called Delightfully Eclectic (SU)
and a border of lace was added before
adding my top image.
I stamped the sentiment very crookedly I see,
on top of the image but will layer it up to fix!

I would like to enter this into
