Guest Designer at Tic Tac Toe Challenge

I am thrilled to be back again this week as 

Guest Designer for Tic Tac Toe Challenge

with another fabulous mood board.

 Those that know me would have guessed which row

I would choose.

As my favourite colour is PURPLE  I went

Bottom row left to right

(Friend Sentiment - Favourite Colour - Floral)

I started with a cover plate background die 

adhered to white card base then 

die cut and popped the inner part of the

Memory Box Pinpoint Double Frame.

Flowers and leaf are Tim's Wildflowers

coloured with Lindy's Magical's.

Sentiment -  Life is beautiful with friends like you is Altenew.

 Added a few drops of Perfect Pearls.

Finished with a cotton bow.

The Talented Design Team have been busy

creating inspiration for you from the Mood Board

and we would love to see your choice of

three elements in a row added to the Gallery.

Thanks for taking time out to visit.

I appreciate your kind comments.

Guest Designing at Tic Tac Toe Challenge

I am thrilled to have been invited to be a Guest Designer

for  Challenge #211 at

Tic Tac Toe Challenge with a 'Crafty Twist'

using three elements from their Mood Board.

Which way will you go with this one below?

Everybody loves butterflies don't they?

As you can see I went with top right, middle and bottom left.

(butterfly, die cut and embossing)

I have just got back from a family holiday so went CAS.

My background is using the shaving cream technique

 inking the Carabelle Studio Libellules & Palillions

Butterfly stamp with Versafine Clair Nocturne 

and Heat Embossed clear.

My die cut sentiment is from Kaisercraft.

Framed and attached to coloured card base.

I also had a girlfriend visiting for some time

 having fun delving into all things creative.

The background for the top card was one of those days.

This card above is one we played with together

after purchasing the Woodware Mini Flower Silhouettes

 I was happy to be able to use it here for the middle row of

(pink, die cut and stencil)

I had already made a card similar

but in different colours Here

All I needed to do with this one was

add a die cut sentiment, a small pearl, 

and a yellow strip on the side before attaching to card base.

The pink flower was inked and heat embossed.

Added some splatters.

Stencilled background is from Clear Scraps Diamonds

and sentiment CUTplorations.

Head over Here

and see what three elements the Talented Designers

chose to inspire you with and add yours to the Gallery.

A big Thank You for inviting me to be your Guest.

Sending Happy Thoughts

 I'm playing again this week over at the

Tic Tac Toe Challenge choosing from the board below

to go from

top right -  flowers

centre - yellow

botton left - ink blending

for Challenge #171

Those that know me would know that I would pick

 ink blending - it's in my DNA!

I went for a bright yellow with Nuvo 

Solar Flare Shimmer Powder for my blended background

Flowers? I chose a favourite retired SU set

Botanical Blooms
Foliage die cut from various coloured paper.

I added Lindy's Milky Way White to the flowers

for a nice shimmer and

Yellow Rose of Texas for the centre of the main flower

then a clear gemstone.

Sentiment is from STAMPlorations Bloom Happy.

Tiny flowers have Daffodil Liquid Pearls in the centre.

Finished with adhering to coloured card base.

Also sending this over to

Thanks for visiting and love reading your comments.

Joining in the Tic Tac Toe Challenge

I am joining in on the fun over at the

Tic Tac Toe Challenge TTTC 170

choosing the left row down - 

CAS Birthday Die Cut/s

I seem to be in a peachy/pinky mood lately 

and this is the go to colour here also

using die cuts gifted by my bff.

As the row I picked has CAS

it makes for using die cuts a breeze.

These were coloured after I inked

w/c paper with Tim's Abandoned Coral and

Lindy's Oom Pah Pah Pink powder with acetate.

I love adding a lightly coloured background

with a stencil - this one from AALL&Create.

Hoping I have left enough white space. for CAS

To add a little extra something I added some splatters,

a little cheesecloth and gold thread before

topping with my STAMPlorations Birthday Sentiment.

Attached to gold border and on to

white card base to complete.

Thanks for visiting.

It's Photo Week at Just Us Girls

 This weeks Challenge over at

Just Us Girls is Photo Week and

Hosting is Bobby

and here is the photo of a sweet outdoor scene

with birds singing around those pretty flowers.

I took my inspiration from the lovely blue birdhouse

then the pretty blue and yellow birds - hence

there is one sitting on the birdcage.

Added a background to highlight them

and the green flourish to add lots and lots of

pretty flowers using dies and punches.

Not to forget the pretty butterfly.

Of course I had to have a smooched

 blue background to start with.

Added my sentiment and some Liquid Pearls

to the centre of my flowers.

Adhered to navy card base and 

my pretty card is complete.

I had so much fun making this card

thanks to Bobby's beautiful photo. 

I am sure our gallery will be full of colour this week.

Head over and see what our Guest JoAnne

and the Team took from the photo.

Could be Spring in some parts but

Autumn is on it's way here. 

A big Thank You to JoAnne for

sharing her talents with us this month.

Sending this over to the

Tic Tac Toe Challenge for the

I chose the middle across

Butterfly (it's tiny) 

free and flowers (lots of them)
