Birthday Hello Have not posted anything for months and saw the challenge on Beccy's Place blog and love the lilies so decided to have a go. Kept the card clean and simple and love how it turned out so maybe my mogo just needed a nudge.. The image is the freebie this month and the hello die is from my stash of die cut words. I can never just cut one and they mount up. I fussy cut two flowers, used dimentional tape to layer the larger one over the smaller flower on white cardstock. Stamped birthday girl under the hello die then added some glossy gems. To finish I adhered the panel to a matching grteen card base.

 On the Mend I think I needed a break, a long, break, but I am slowly getting my mogo back and starting to craft again. My op went great but I am not a good patient and wanted it back to normal quickly and that was not going to happen. I think my PC back-up crash and losing all my stuff was the worst. They tried to rescue it but I'm missing the last 5 years of my cards etc, and as I store my digital downloads and photos they have all gone too. I am just happy that all my family and friends are surviving after the last terrible two years of bushfires, flooding and covid. We are alive and well and coping.  Now to happy things. I have done a few cards with watercolour panels as it relaxing.         They are from the  Altenew Water Coloring Book and it has amazing flowers in both no-line and lined images that are perfect for card fronts.  Now I need to start and do a few Mother's Day cards. Hope all is well with you all out there.     ...

 For Your Special Day This adorable image is from Sheepski Designs  and is the freebie for the Outlawz Monthly Progressive Challenge. It did start out as a valentines day card but ended up as a birthday card for a dear friend. Kept it fairly simple with copic colouring, then cut it out with a heart die. Decided to draw a large heart then hand cut it out for the card base. Added some stitching, a few sequins and a sentiment from the Just Because stamp set from Create a Smile.  Copics: Bear: YR21,24,30,E23,29. Love: RV99,R08,59. Hearts: R27,46,Black0.1 Copic Multi liner. Shadow: BG0000,000. Ground: W00,1,3. I am entering this in the  Outlawz Monthly Progressive Challenge Crazy4Challenges_C4C468 Sheepski Designs Monthly Challenge

Happy Birthday Found this challenge (Color Throwdown Challenge) when browsing and for this week the colours are as per the picture below and decided to give it a try.  I received this cute free small stamp set from Altenew with my last order called blooming blossoms but not sure if it's for sale as I couldn't find it on their site. Thought it would make a cute card and stamped the flowers in different shades of yellow. As they are solid stamps I give them some dimension with my prisma colour pencils. I did the same for the leaves. Heat embossed the sentiment from a Simon says Stamp set called It's Your Birthday in white, added a piece if ribbon, and adhered the image to some coloured card mats and onto a white card base. Nice and quick card for me as I managed to finish in a couple of hours.

I didn't lick the Spoon The cutie this month is called Sweet Tooth Mous e and there is still a few days left to enter. The first thing that popped into my head when I saw it was he is going to lick the spoon so that is my title. I made the background with Oxide Distress Inks salty ocean, wilted violet and twisted citron. Having so much fun playing with them and trying different colour combinations and I love they mix so well. The mouse is coloured with copics and then fussy cut out. Printed the sentiment, adhered it to a strip of coloured card stock and added it to the card base, 512/ x 5/12 with dimensional tape. The mouse was also adhered with dimensional tape. A few sequins finishes of the card. Copics: Mouse: E40,41,42,44.R30. Bowl: B32,34,37,YR61,68. Spoon: E02,13,15,
