Just Enough!

  Morning and I made a card for a sketch I liked the look of on Try a Sketch on Tuesday-I found a piece of p, paper in oddments that was only just big enough to get the three squares and strip out of  at a push so no idea what whose it was sorry! The stamped sentiment and stamped circle are from a Pickled Pear set that was gifted to me by a FB friend. The square dies are from The Works and the circle die from My Favourite Things. It looked a little stark so I doodled round all the edges with a fine liner pen. Please excuse the embossed line on last square -otherwise wouldn't have had enough and TBH not noticeable IRL-trust me lol.

Engagement Card?

Morning and I made an aperture card using inspiration from Alyson. I used a 12" p, paper cut just using the images which I have had for a few years, Circular die from My Favourite Things and wooden heart out of a set from The Works I was given. Have joined a crafters page on FB  who gives monthly prompts to use your stash,  This and That with Danni's Dreams. I have only used two of the prompts-12" papers and a heart -thought it could maybe be an anniversary card ? Light not good as papers are slightly darker IRL!

Hand Coloured Image Challenge



Morning and the card I have two DT posts today-the first one  is for the  new Hand Coloured Image/ATG challenge at  Stamping Sensations-prizes are  Crafty Roo stamp sets from 
I have a new  AALL&Create stamp-Blossomed Numbers-now this is a set of two very large stamps, which I stamped and then cut in half  actually I think it's only a third TBH, then  coloured with promarkers. The frame is a die-cut from Heffy Doodles(now closed) The background is an oddment I found of inky sprayed cardstock which only needed a slight trim to fit my card and added a strip of dry wall webbing.
Some of you may have seen this card earlier as I posted it 3 days early!!!

GD at Creative Creases

Morning and today I am GDT at Creative Creases. I made this card using all offcuts of paper from ScrapAndMe and The Works. I made a triangular pocket  with another off cut inside and the watering can of lavender was cut from that piece so it would fit in the pocket. I made this card as a new home card for my Daughters friend. My card is 8"x7" and scored at 1 and a half" and 3" then just cut a triangular piece to make a pocket or not!
