"Honeysuckle"

 Who of us does not love the sweet scent of honeysuckle? The smell of summer!

I used a Crafterts Companion 3d embossing folder and hand painted with metallic water colours.I deliberately did not add a sentiment so I could use for any occasion.

Card "Goodnight" by Jackie - Ambassador

 

 Hello there and a Very Happy New Year to all! As we are in the era of "New" I decided to make a new baby card. Nothing is newer than a new life! My darling grandson loves "dinies" so I thought of him when I made this. I am sure his mummy wishes he was better at sleeping!

I used the gorgeous image "Goodnight" and coloured him up with pencils. I used some magic mica to create a sky. A sentiment and die cut flowers complete this celebratory card

"Flamingo Paradise"

 

Happy New Year to all, may we have a year of peace. 

Just recently I was lucky enough to win at A Perfect Time To Craft , of course I was thrilled and immediately accepted when Anne invited me to be a Guest Designer in January 2025. I asked to work with Anne's designs and chose this one which is~ "Flamingo Paradise"  this splash of pink after our cold December will be a tonic! There are so many more wonderful designs in Ann's store, do take a look ~Anne Constantly-Carding - Payhip.

I simply had to use the fantastic paper, one among many, to highlight the image and naturally incorporate one of the included sentiments. They will also be incredibly useful for numerous other cards!
