Have you had stamp sets in your stash which retire never having known what ink is? Me too. I’ve been going through some of these stamp sets trying to use them. For my weekly Live this week I thought it’s time to use the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set which I hadn’t opened. This set…
For today’s birthday card I chose the colour palette from the Colour Inkspirations #140 challenge. So Saffron, Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam are all part of our subtles range and are so pretty together. It was really hard to go past this image and NOT create an Easter card. However,I resisted and opted to…

I used the Colour Inkspiration CI136 challenge photo as inspiration with the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #570. I watercoloured the…
