Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 cards for June

I am here at the end of the month with my cards for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 for June. It has been very hot in the UK since we got back from a trip to Ireland and I have struggled with the heat. 

So here are my cards for sketches 328 and 329

This card for sketch 328 uses an image from Lili of the Valley along with some long neglected papers from Junkitz, paint splodges are Honeydoo Crafts and the black dots are Julie Hickeys glossies.

This card for sketch 329 uses some papers and an image from The Hobby House - Needles and Pins which I think may have been designed by Clare Rowlands of Daisy Mae designs. The sentiment is from the Lazy Daisy stamp set from Which Craft, pearls and ribbon are from stash.

Thank you for your patience with my inability to blog and comment, I must do better lol!

Critter Crazy #111 DT card

 Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today. 

The latest challenge over at Critter Crazy Challenge where anything with a Critter can be used began yesterday and here is my card.


I used a very old Country Companions decoupage sheet for my focal image and the papers are from the not quite so old Dovecraft Secret Garden paper pad.
I used a foiled sentiment from Craftwork Cards which I coloured with an alcohol marker to match the image. Pearls and green card came from stash.

I would like to enter my card at 
The Neglected Stuff Challenge - Anything goes using neglected stash, this is a perfect challenge for me  for me, the decoupage sheet and paper pad is long neglected.

Do-Al(l)-Kreatives Challenge DT Card

Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today. I am here to share my DT card for the May challenge over at Do-Al(l)-Kreatives where the theme is Flowers as the Focus.
