Owl in Orange

 Hi guys,

I have another card to share with you - this time a mini 3x3" one.



I stamped the image using spiced pumpkin distress ink. I then used a marker pen to colour the stamp for the sentiment (from the same pack, which was free with a magazine). I then used the marker to draw round parts of the image stamp.

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

no line reminder post

 Hey everyone,

We do not seem to have many people joining in our current challenge over at Creative Moments. Just a reminder that there is always the Anything Goes option if you do not like the idea of no line colouring (however I would recommend giving it a go - you may surprise yourself).

Here is my reminder card.

I have not added a sentiment yet, but left space for one, as this particular card could be used for absolutely anything.

No line colouring

 Hi everybody,

We have a new challenge over at Creative Moments, with the optional theme of 'No Line Colouring'. Of course you are always welcome to play Anything Goes. Pop over to the blog to see what you could win, and also take a look at the design team creations.


I coloured the image using chameleon pens. I then added this to a grey panel and layered onto a base card that I had already covered with a patterned paper from my stash. I simply added a die-cut sentiment and a cat sticker to finish.

Lavender and Lace

Good evening,

We have a new challenge started today over at I Love Promarkers with the optional theme of lavender and lace.


I coloured the image with a mix of chameleon pens and promarkers, in shades of purple (lavender). I used a lavender base card and inked a lacey stencil on the edges, using Shaded Lilac distress ink. I used a die-cut that has a lacey effect on the top of the image panel and then added this to the card base. I added the sentiment to the base and then edged the image panel with lace.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
PFP 702 Dies/punches (die-cut edging and sentiment)
inkspirational 295 Use Stencils
craftycalendar - Anything Goes

I also thought I would share the eggsac my girl decided to produce, even though she has never been mated!


I also thought I would share my pretty poppy.

Embossed for summer

 Hi all,

Our new challenge at MAWTT (Moving Along With The Times) is to use embossing of any form on your creation.


I inked up an embossing folder and ran a 6x4 piece of card through this, and then inked the edged that were not embossed. All ink is Distress Inks. I then stamped a butterfly and sentiment onto a scalloped square piece of card, followed by heat embossing. I then layered another two scalloped squares behind this first onto the card base.

I would like to enter this postcard into the following challenges:
AYLI - Gingham or Florals - when embossing a background I prefer to use my floral embossing folders as I feel they are more versatile
