Sunday Stamps Slice (of cake)

 Good evening, folks!  I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe.

This evening I would like to share a simple one layer card that I made for my friend's husband's birthday.  Needing some colour inspiration, I chose the sweet colours on the Sunday Stamps challenge blog.  I used Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight and Tangelo Twist (retired) ink and incorporated the old retired but wonderful Gorgeous Grunge stamps as well as my new fun Approaching Perfection stamp set, which is a freebie from Sale-a-bration when you spend £45.  I love the cute little balloons!  I'm also entering this into the Time Out Challenge #182 which is to create a birthday or celebration card and also the clean and simple challenge at The Paper Players  PP529.

Thank you for stopping by today x

Sympathy for a friend

 Good afternoon, folks.

I don't know about you but I have had an awful lot of Sympathy and Get Well cards to make during lockdown.  There has been so much illness and sad things happening.  My friend recently lost her mother-in-law and I made her this card with some of my new products from Stampin' Up! including the stamp, die and the beautiful ombre paper.  I stamped the image on to watercolour paper and used my Stampin' Write markers to watercolour it.  I'm happy with how it turned out.

I am entering this card into these challenges:

HLS Challenge with dies

 Hello there!  Today I'd like to share a card I made for a friend who gave me a gift.  It was very kind and generous of her.

I love this Stampin' Up paper - isn't it lovely with the beautiful butterflies and wild flowers?

I stamped the sentiment in Granny Apple Green and the flower in Highland Heather (both stamps are from a long time ago Saleabration set) and then die cut it using a stitched circle die.  Less is more I think with this one as there is plenty going on in the paper.

I'm entering this card into the February challenge at Happy Little Stampers.
