Embossing Folders and Watercolour
I had this one flower image left over from my watercolour morning. It wasn't working with the lace die cut I had planned for it. So I decided it needed to be put in a plant box.
Cut a square and embossed with my new Altenew Checkered Squares 3D embossing folder. The background panel was an inked Stampin' Up Tasteful Textile embossing folder.
Isn't the 3D texture amazing?!

Watercolour Hydrangeas
So happy so receive my latest order from Pinkfresh Studio - the Hydrangea and Rose Stamp, die and washi tape set. I started by doing some water colouring with the stamp set. The sentiment is from Simply Graphic - the Hello set.

Another inch Strip
Another water coloured inch strip on similar lines to this card. I changed up the colours and sentiment, and decided to use some striped paper as the edge.

Enjoy Every Moment
I have the pleasure of being the guest designer on AAA Card Challenge this week.
The challenge this week is One Inch Strip with an option of having a Coloured Cardbase.
I had these little strips of watercolour paper left over. Thought I'd add a little colour and add a diecut. The blues for the cornflower, and green for the stem. The sentiment already had the dots as part of the stamp, so I added some to the other side of the strip to give it balance.

Be Still
Sometimes you just need a little peace and quiet ... and tranquility.

Time to Celebrate
For those who follow my blog, you'll know I starting making this card with my adult daughter in mind, but then decided it was too young for her. So here is the card I eventually gave her.
She has a special bond with our dog, Snoopy, so I thought this new stamp from Colorado Crafts was the perfect fit. Plus she has to wait for her present as we're still in lockdown.
Snoopy's just turned 14 and is getting old. This photo was from a year ago.
I coloured with watercolours and gave the dog block patches just like our Snoopy.

Happiest Birthday
My Anita Jeram stamps arrived! Yay!
I was trying to make a card for my adult daughter who was to be celebrating her birthday under lockdown - for the second time - so wanted something cheerful. But ever had a card run away from you, and it was not what you planned at all?
I wanted to use the ray stencil to bring sunshine and warmth so that's where I started. Then I like the frame idea. Thought I'd add some grass & the 2 little bunnies.
So it ended up being more for a child.
I added some black doodle lines to my grass stencil.
