Hi friends Today I took some time to play with the Simon Says Stamp May card kit which I absolutely love. The beautiful pattern papers and the floral stamp set are truly a joy for me and make creating so easy. Over on Instagram one of the talented card makers that I follow is Alex Syberia and she has been challenging us to dot colouring with our alcohol markers. So today’s card is totally out of my comfort zone and using a technique that I obviously need a lot more practice with, but I am really excited to keep working with this technique as I absolutely love Alex’s cards.

First of all we were encouraged to take a craftie of us or our desk so here’s mine 🙂 Today’s card is for a couple of the challenges: Ink blending with Lea – I used distress oxide inks in tumbled glass and salty ocean Coordinating die Challenge with Kelly – I don’t have any dies for my stamps so I followed Carols example to use a word die as a mask and stamp round it, basically the challenge in reverse – I hope this still counts?

You are Turtley Awesome
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. Next I stamped my turtle with memento tuxedo black ink which is Copic friendly, fussy cut it and did some quick and easy colouring. Then I trimmed down my scallop panel and used my tim holtz knife to create little flaps around the waves…

Hand in hand with Pretty Pink Posh
Hiya A lovely Instagram friend @tesstimony_cards sent me a cute couple of images by Pretty Pink Posh (Summer Friends set) to colour. I’m embarrassed to say I’ve had these for about a year! I recently made a few simple watercolour backgrounds with my peerless watercolours to have on hand ‘just in case’. This one with its sandy beach immediately reminded me of this cute boy and girl. I coloured them simply with Copic markers and added them with 3d foam. Next I used a memory box die and added some hearts in different sizes and added some wink of stella for a little sparkle. The sentiment is by a Pinkfresh…
