Birds and bees

There is a new challenge started today over at Creative Moments - where it is the second half of the team working with the sponsor images. But as always I cannot resist playing along with my teamies whilst using some of my stash. The optional theme is Birds and/or bees.

Here is the postcard I created:


I used a little bird topper. I then added a 3D rose label sticker to which I stuck an extra hummingbird. To the opposite side I added a flower topper. Finally I added a couple of bee stickers.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Flowers and butterflies

Hi guys,

I have two cards to share with you today - they are similar as the stamp I have used is a larger one, but the techniques are slightly different.


I started with the same card base for both cards and stamped the floral panel directly to the bottom of the card.
These are to be entered into:
twofer #27 Flowers
simplycreatetoo #160 Use flowers
animalfriends #86 insects
daringcardmakers - keep it in the family
modsquad - nature scene

For this first card I then stamped the dragonflies, from the same stamp set, onto different patterned papers and paper pieced them onto the card from. I added two of them with 3D foam pads. I then printed out a sentiment and added peel-off letters to say Sister about it.

This particular card I want to enter into the following challenge:
TheLibraryChallenge #59 My Naughty little sister

For the second card I added an Anita's foiled Gran sentiment. I then added some glittered butterfly stickers to add movement to the floral scene. Finally I added a bee peel-off.

This one is for:
CCM #257 Butterflies
intaas #83 Flowers and Butterflies
simonsaysmonday - we're all abuzz

I also have a dino update for you all - over 300hrs total now!!

White and Cream

Hi guys,

I have another card to share with you using the butterflies and blossom stencil - this time cream on white.

I used a cream ink pad to just ink a section of the stencil. I then used a couple of die-cuts that were in my stash, cut from ivory card, to make a focal point. The sentiment will be added to the label die, but I have left it blank at the moment

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Flower power

Good evening! It has been a little breezy today so I haven't done much in the garden. However I did have a play with inks and a stencil to make a floral card.


I used a butterfly and flowers stencil over a blue card base with distressed inks, and I used a make-up sponge to apply the ink through the stencil. I had already coloured the image (I am unsure which supplier this was from), so I just fussy cut it and added it to the bottom of the card. Finally I added a glittered butterfly topper.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
DigiDoodleStudio #27 Flower Power
