Fuschias fancy fold

 Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today


I am sharing this fancy fold card today which I made few weeks ago and sent to my sister for her birthday.
The main image is from Julie Hickey Designs Fuchsia Stamp Set and the sentiment is also Julie Hickey Designs from the Rosie Posey Set. I stamped 2 images which I coloured with alcohol markers and then cut out one image and layered all the leaves and flowers up on the top. 
Dies are MFT Double stitched oval and the fancy fold 3D pop up die set was in the Made to Surprise advent calendar last year.
The card is Petunia Pop from Stampin Up and I found some glossies that matched perfectly for a little embellishment.

Here is the back

Allsorts #823 - Paper Piecing / Anything Goes

Critter Crazy#98 DT

 Hello and welcome to my second DT card of the day.

This is my card for Critter Crazy Challenge #98, critter is not really a word we use in the UK but basically it's any creature real or fantasy and it has to be the main focal point on your card.


I have used this Baalamb from theWoodware Fuzzy Friends range designed by Jane Gill.
I have had this stamp for ages and never inked it up and it's very quick and easy to colours which I did with Copic markers.
The card is 6x6 Craft UK premium which I get from Hazel and Paul at Dragon Papercrafts (their service is so quick and the postage cost is realistic)
Papers are vintage LOTV Country Meadow but will still be available digitally from Nitwits.
Ribbons are from stash and the linen thread is from Stampin Up.

I would like to enter this card at 
Farmquest General Store - Anything Farm or Country Goes
NBUS - Never Before Used Stuff
I was also going to enter at Creative Knockouts but it closed while I was writing my post, must check those time zones lol!


Do Al(l) Kreatives #101 DT card

 Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today.

I am here with my first DT card of the day. Today challenge 101 begins over at Do Al(l) Kreatives where we have floral theme and are sponsored by Sheepski Designs.


I used the Cornflowers image which I coloured with alcohol markers and then inked around the image with Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide.
The papers are some really old Chatterbox papers called Poolhouse Vines (regular visitors will realise that I have a lot of very old treasure in my collection)
The sentiment is vintage Craftwork Cards which was also coloured with Blueprint Sketch.
Ribbon is from my stash and the pearls were from the Hobby House.

I will be entering my card in the following challenges
Allsorts Challenge #822 - Anything Goes or Inspired by a Song, I am following the Anything Goes option.
