Hi friends, I just received this cute turtle stamp from heffy doodle and had to play with it straight away. Firstly I found this fab stamp by Mama Elephant called modern borders, it may be retired now, and thought the scallop would make a great looking sea. I used my tim holtz stamping platform to help stamp my ‘sea’ with Altenew inks in shades of blue.

Freehand watercolour roses
Hey everyone, Today’s card really pushed me outside of my comfort zone. I watercoloured some roses freehand in pretty pink tones using my gansai tambi paints.

The sentiment is one of my go to happy anniversary sentiments by Mama Elephant. I had an accident with my enamel dots (oops) so had to add loads to cover up and try and make the piece look balanced.

Seven Hills Crafts Challenge August – Geometry
I have left this one right to the last minute this month. The challenge at Seven Hills Crafts is geometry and I have struggled with ideas to be honest. Then this morning at 6.30am while I was willing my 15 month old to go back to sleep I remembered that the shapes on my Mama Elephant Full House set might work. Yay. I decided to go for a muted colour palate with black and greys. Would love to know what you think. Here is the challenge photo: Here is my card: Products listed below.
