JAI Sketch Challenge

I spent a wonderful morning crafting with a fellow team member Ali and managed to make quite a few things.   The last of these is my entry for Just Add Ink this week which was a sketch challenge.

I was initially stumped for colour ideas so turned to the trusty catalogue and to the Greenhouse Gala dsp for colour inspiration. I find that when I am in a can't decide what colour to use that choosing a dsp colour swatch is a great start.

I also had the Friends Never Fade stamp set which I purchased recently and had yet not played with. I really like what I have come up with and hope you do too. Sorry the photo is not quite the best.

Happy stamping till next time............

Rainy Sunday

My goodness it's wet out there today, and rather dismal.   It's a perfect day for creating which is what I will be doing the rest of the afternoon.

I made this card a few weeks back and thought I would share it today.     A friend's gran had died and I wanted to send her a note to say I cared, the because I care stamp set was sitting there uninked and so I decided to give it some love.

Hope you like

Im back - at least for today

Yes I know it's been even longer of a hiatus but life has a nasty way of creeping up on oneself and getting in the way of doing the things we love.

Anyway, over at Just Add Ink this week the wonderful Paula (who just happens to be my upline and have amazing talent) gave us the challenge to use black and white.   I LOVE black and white so had to find some time to create.

Here is what I came up with.   I made the black card here first, and then decided that I needed to do a reverse design so made another using a white base.     Would love your opinion on which one you like best.

Happy card making
