Helenium and Ladybirds

 Morning and time for the mid month post for the ATG/Wedding/Anniversary/Romance challenge at Stamping Sensations.

I again went ATG using the AALL&Create stamp set I won last month at Allsorts-Thank you Brenda.  I used the Helenium stamp coloured with promarkers, stamped the circle part twice and added on 3-D foam pads sandwiching some red thread between, the three little ladybirds are a Pink Frog stamp. I used the Mandala stencil and a dotty circle from Creative Expressions on the background and my craft mag freebie script stamp around the image.

Shades of Blue

 Morning am back with a GDT card for the Shades of Blue challenge at Allsorts-using a stamp set I won at Allsorts last month. 

The stamp set is from AALL&Create, coloured with promarkers and promarker line round the border. Script stamp was my little craft mag freebie(years old-just a little 3"x1"clear stamp, well used) The Mandala stencil I have had for a few years and this is it's first use! It was loose in the bottom of my die-cuts box so no idea whose it is-maybe Artisan Designs?

Thank you for all your lovely comments on Helens artwork.

Card Chain Swap Reveal

 Morning and my third post today is for the Card Chain Challenge Swap reveal and 26 cards were exchanged.

My card this month went to Brenda in the UK  and I made my favourite Diamond Point Card,  papers from Crafters Companion and CraftOClock, circle die from My Favourite Things and the paper pieced image from a set from Rare Earth which I won a few months ago. I added glamour dust to the whipped cream.

I received this beautiful card from Julia in USA and also sent me the pieces to make my own card-thank you Julia.

CAS Sympathy

 Morning and I have three posts today-the second one is for the CAS challenge at

 Dragonfly Dreams -chosen by Francesca.

I had a sympathy card to make, not a pleasant choice but necessary unfortunately.

I embossed lines with my score board and added dies from My Favourite Things/StampinUp and John Next Door, the die cut sentiment I found in my bit box and no idea where from as I don't have the die-maybe got it sent in some swops.

Beautiful Astrantia

 Morning and I have three posts today-the first one is for the ATG/Romance challenge (wedding/Anniversary/Valentine) challenge at Stamping Sensations with Three Romance prizes from AALL&Create. Our GD this month is Mervi.

This month I went with ATG and used a stamp set from  AALL&Create - coloured with promarkers, I stamped the flower head twice and layered on 3D foam pads. The stamped sentiment is from a Hero Arts set gifted to me by a FB friend. Border stamp from Crafters Companion(had for years) craft mag freebie script stamp and stencil from? Just checked and no longer have package as sure I would remember!!!

Beautiful Iris

  Morning and 1st of the month again!!! My DT card today is for the "Black/White Plus One Colour" challenge at Scrapping4fun.

I used stamps from  AALL&Create, stencil from Stencil Girl and a script stamp which is a years old craft mag freebie- I also added some doodling with a ruler and fine black liner pen. The colour is a little darker IRL just looks a bit washed out due to bad light!
