For the start to our working week I’ve got a bit of a shabby chic birthday card to share with you inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.
The floral image was fussy cut from the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper. This is a Black and White monochromatic pack of 12″ x 12″ paper which gives you loads of options. I’ve even used a little strip of it on the label behind the flowers.
The image was coloured in Watercolour Pencils. The colours I used are listed below.
Daffodil Delight
Calypso Coral
Granny Apple Green
Garden Green
Coastal Cabana
To create the distressed look on the layers, I ran the edge of my paper snips right along the edges. This card has got lots of texture and it’s fully loaded with Stampin’ Dimensionals for some fabulous depth.
If you want to know more details, please get in touch with me. Want to order the products to make this card? Full list of supplies are at the bottom of this post. Orders can be placed online or by giving me a call. I’d love to help you out.

Get Well cards are ones I don’t make many of but I find that I get many requests for these. I think it’s because when we need a Get Well card we generally need it in a hurry and don’t have time to make one. So for Day 12 of my Sketchtember Challenge I’ve created a sweet card sure to cheer someone using the Speedy Recovery stamp set.
This stamp set caught my eye when I first glanced through the Annual Catalogue. I really like the cute images and sentiments which are specifically for those laid up during their illness. I’ve combined it with the Eden’s Garden stamp set and coordinating dies.
To create the rounded corners of the square panels, I used the Essentials Tag punch and inserted the paper into the rounded corder.
The flowers were fussy cut from Perfectly Penciled DSP and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. Some added elements were also fussy cut from the Lovely in Linen DSP. I like adding these extra bits to my projects to create interest and layers.

My card today is one that just makes me feel warm and cozy – I think it’s the combination of apples and gingham that somehow evokes these feelings.
I’ve created this for the Just Add Ink Challenges – Choose Two from Gingham, Dots and Die Cuts. I have picked Ginham and Die Cuts.
The apple has been die cut from a brand new, yet-to-be-released die which coordinates with the Apple Harvest stamp set. The Apple Blossoms Dies will be available for purchase on the 1st of September. You will want to add these to your collection as they have so many bits and pieces to coordinate with this stamp set and… there is a beautiful scalloped die for edging.
I watercoloured the apple with Sweet Sorbet, So Saffron, Parakeet Party, Mossy Meadow and Soft Suede ink. Then I added some extra shading on the leaves with an Old Olive Watercolor Pencil and Early Espresso around the stem. Watercolouring is a quick way to add colour to your images and so much fun.
For my gingham element I first chose the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper which is part of our In-Color Pack. I love how this adds to the country charm of this card. Then I also added a piece of Basic White which has been embossed with the Gingham Embossing Folder. Until the 31st August, you can choose this as a free product when you spend $90 in store.
