When I created this colour palette, little did I know that a couple of these colours would be farewelling us this year. For my colour palette no. 6 I’ve chosen some beautiful Easter colours. Blushing Bride and Bermuda Bay will be leaving us so it was lovely to be able to use these pretty colours…
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…
It’s been a little while since I did some watercolouring which is one of my favourite techniques. This beautiful flower from the Happiness Abounds stamp set was just perfect for getting back into it. I used the Colour Inkspiration CI136 challenge photo as inspiration with the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #570. I watercoloured the…
Do you ever wonder what to do with a stamp set like In the Country from our Sale-A-Bration catalogue? Large images of scenes which you could colour in but sometimes you may not have the time to spend colouring it all in. A sketch such as this one from Freshly Made Sketches is a great…
A traditional card for today’s sketch for the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge.

I have let the Designer Series Paper do the hard work for this theme in our #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. The Lights Aglow Specialty Paper already had the shine so I just added a few extras to create this card with Sparkle and Shine. The Distressed Gold Specialty Paper is a very cost effective way to add some…
A bit of a change from all my Christmas projects to play along with the Colour Inkspirations #CI133 challenge. As I saw this photo inspiration, part of me wanted to use my favourite bird from the Perched in a Tree stamp set but I resisted! Instead I’ve opted for a teacup stamped in Coastal Cabana…
With 11 shades of Green in the Stampin’ Up! colour range, creating ‘Something Green’ for the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge was quite easy. I went for the obvious choice – leaves from the Leaves of Holly bundle. This is a two-step stamp set however I’ve been using the detail stamp on it’s own. I love how effective it…
