... Divas That Die Cut : Fall or fall colours

Woohoo!

I have quite a few friends becoming grandparents ... and so I'm in need of more cute baby and kids cards.  So I have a few new cute sets and I'm combining different sets.

And a second one with the same set ...

And one with the 2 together.

Sweet Friend

Combining supplies from different craft companies ... to get that idea in my head on to the card!

This little bird from Hero Arts is golden oldie ... but I'll always keep it as it's a firm favourite.

Cute ellies!

A sweet elephant duo! I thought it would make a fun card for my friend's grandson who will be 2 soon.

Watercolour Birthday

A quick card. I found this watercoloured background amongst my stash - can't even remember what I was going to do with it originally.

I searched among my dies to find some that would match the size.  These roses from WPlus9 were a perfect fit!

Celebrate - Brights and Pastels

I started making a card, and I got a bonus one on the way.

Added some Nuvo glitter gloss to the wings. Hard to capture on camera.

When I had stamped my first card with the solid leaves, there was still lots of ink on the stamp. So I gave it another little spritz and stamped on a new card.  So much softer.

Are you a BRIGHTS person or a PASTELS person?

May CCC Reveal

It's time for the Card Chain Challenge May Reveal!

My card went off to Jerrie in Wisconsin.  I do so love sharing cards with those who share my passion.

I didn't think I would really like the colour combination, but in the end I LOVED it!

I started out stamping 2 sets of flowers from the Botanical flower set using the ink and spritz technique to get the watercolour effect.  (I used the rest of the flower on THIS and THIS card.) 

I dropped ink on a small panel and let it run down. Once dry, I embossed it with the lines embossing folder.

I think this card is my favourite of the three.

You still have time to join in for The June CCC Challenge! Who knows, maybe I'll get a card from you!
