Hey Everyone
Welcome to my blog and another sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch has been designed by the wonderfully talented Jen Mitchell.
I filled my card with flowers and DSP for this week sketch. The papers I’ve used are from the Countryside Inn DSP paper pack. The stamped flowers and leaves are from the Textured Floral Stamp Set. And the leafy die cut is cut with the matching Textured Floral Dies.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone
Who’s ready for a new colour challenge at Just Add Ink? Myself and the Design Team are!
This week our colours for you to create with are:
Can you believe this card started off quite plain? It then grew in to this…lotsa layers and details.
The stamp set I’ve used is called Hello Ladybug. It had been neglected so I decided to give it the ink love and came up with this.
I used two embossing folders from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders pack. I added diecuts cut with the Countryside Corners Dies. I’ve layered these dies with images stamped from the Hello Ladybug Stamp Set. Because you can never have too many details, I added some flowers from the same stamp set.
The team have created awesome cards using these colours. Head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone
The newest sketch at Freshly Made Sketches has been designed by the wonderfully talented Jacquie Southas. Take a look at her fab sketch:
The card I created features the Queen Bee Stamp Set and matching Queen Bee Dies. I started off with a clean background but then felt it lacked a little bit of something so I shaded ink to the Basic White Cardstock and flicked the nib of the Dark Smoky Slate Blend to create splatters.
I then added by images and die cuts. A birthday sentiment and three gold gems finished off my card.
The team have created awesome cards – make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone
The card I’ve created today is for the latest challenge at Global Design Project. This week their challenge is to CASE this fab project from Susan Wong:
I created a card with tags and ribbon detail like Susan’s creation. I’ve gone with a fun birthday card using the Beautiful Balloons Stamp Set.
The colours I’ve used on my card are Pebbled Path, Coastal Cabana and Gray Granite. I feel like this card could be a feminine and a masculine card.

Hey Everyone
It’s Friday here in Australia, so that means we have a new challenge over at Just Add Ink for you to play along with.
I really wanted to use these pretty paper from the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper pack. This paper was the starting point to my card. From there I decided to keep my card with a mostly blue colour scheme. I added tinges of Smoky Slate Ink in the leaves I’ve stamped and tucked under the daisies. Or maybe they’re a new breed of flowers as I don’t think there are any blue daisies…
These blue flowers are from the Delightful Daisies Stamp Set. I stamped the flowers in Black Memento Ink and coloured the petals with my blue blends. I took the Dark Smoky Slate Blend and added colour to the centre of the flowers.
I shaded the background beneath the flowers with a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue Ink. I then added some die cut leaves. These leaves are from the Textured Floral Dies.
As always, the team at Just Add Ink have created awesome projects. Make sure you head over to the challenge and check out their creations.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone
We have a new sketch for you all to play along with over at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is the wonderfully talented Amy O’Neill. Make sure you head over to her blog and see her stunning creations.
I’ve found the combo of Wild Wheat and Basic Black is quite striking, so I’ve used this for my card today.Suppose any colour with black comes across as striking.
I’ve used products from the Gorgeously Made Bundle. Really loving the background script stamp.You will probably see it feature on a lot of my cards.

Hey Everyone
This week at the Global Design Project, they have a sketch challenge.
Take a look at the fab challenge they have for us to play along with:
I haven’t used the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set for a while, so it got a workout on my card today. I’ve been very drawn to blue lately as you might be able to tell…. I added some leaf diecuts cut with the Textured Floral Dies.The flowers and leaves were placed over a shaded and inked background. The background script stamp is from the Gorgeously Made Stamp Set.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone
This weeks sketch at Freshly Made Sketches has been designed by me! I create a sketch at the last minute always with no idea what I stamp set or colours I’m going to use, but in the end it usually comes together.
My stamp set of choice was the Perched in a Tree Stamp Set. I used this set mainly because it was sitting on my desk from a card I’d made on the same day as this one. All of my recent cards were made a few weeks ago before my latest round of hand surgery.
This stamp set features a pudgy little bird, ink splatters and a bare branch tree. I’ve used all of these images on my card. I kept my mostly black and white so that my yellow and grey bird pops.
The three leaf diecuts I’ve added to my card are from the Aspen Dies that coordinate with the stamp set. To tie in with the colour scheme, I heat embossed a sentiment on Basic Black Cardstock.
The team at Freshly Made Sketches have made my sketch look good with their gorgeous cards. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and check out what they’ve created.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone
Loving this weeks sketch by Karren Johnson over at Freshly Made Sketches. I knew exactly which stamp set and colours I was going to use as soon as I saw it!
The stamp set that features on my card is a new-to-me one called – Gone Fishing Stamp Set. I’ve also paired it with the Gone Fishing Dies. The pieces of coral I have cut are from the Beauty of the Deep Dies. I like how these can work with my fish and sinker/floaty images.
Here’s my masculine fishy card:
