Hiya! Can you believe it’s August?? This months theme at The Flower Challenge is to use your favourite flower. This is a difficult one for me as I love all flower but especially roses and peonies. I thought this floral stamp by clearly besotted is so beautiful and fits the bill perfectly. My card background features the falling leaf stencil by clearly besotted using distress oxide inks and paint splatters. I coloured my flowers with a mix of oxide inks and spectrum noir water reactive inks. The sentiment is also clearly besotted – I always need loads of Anniversary cards. I hope you can join us, check out the other…

We will weather this storm together
Hiya I stepped outside of my comfort zone with today’s card. I coloured the delightful honey bee stamp girl and her teddy bear a few weeks ago with copic markers and then I remembered a Clearly Besotted fall flurry stencil. I used distress oxide inks – red barn, ripe persimmon and mustard seed to create my background. I used moonstone glimmer paste through the stencil. Once dry I added vellum and white card clouds along the top of the panel. The sentiments are also from the same Honey Bee set called seasonal sweeties. I am entering this card into the following challenges: Addicted to stamps and more 342 – make…

GD CAS Watercolour: Poppy
Hi friendsI’m absolutely thrilled to have been asked to be a guest designer at CAS watercolour this month. For my first card using the theme poppy I created this card using clearly besotted stamps. I used my zig clean colour real brush markers to add the colour to my flowers and background. I added a simple white heat embossed sentiment, some white highlights to the flowers and a couple of jewels. I hope you like my card and will join us this month. Can’t wait to see what you create.

With Love
Hi friends, Thanks for joining me for today’s card which is a slightly different style from my cards of late. I went for a simple elegant style using a textured laid ivory cardstock on Simon Says Stamp red card stock. I stamped and die cut clearly besotted Wild Rose florals using hero arts red royal, raspberry jam and orange soda inks. The leaves are stamped with hero arts mowed lawn with some evergreen bough distress ink for some deeper colour. I haven’t used my ribbon stash in ages, it was lovely to have a dig through and choose some today. A few black paint splatters and clear sequins to finish.…
