A little garden ...


"A little garden in which to walk,
and immensity in which to dream"

Hi everyone, this is my second card today, inspired by the Colour Me challenge. Calypso Coral is one of my favourite SU! colours.

The background was made by brushing colour on, the diecuts are Memory Box Madison Window, branch and bird, and leaves and sentiment stamped.

Also linking up to House of Cards - Punches or a die or both, and a second entry for Make My Monday - Diecuts and/or punches.

After every storm ...


"After every storm the sun will smile"

Hi everyone, happy Friday! I hope you're well.

I've made my card today using the colours at Card Concept (Clean and Layered), with inspiration from the layout of this week's Muse card. 

I don't make Halloween cards so I used the fun Sunbeams stamp set by CAS-ual Fridays, having happily won a discount voucher for their store.

The sun was stamped with SU! Pumpkin Pie, then stamped the sentiment and attached it to two strips of torn vellum.

Also linking up for a second entry at the fabulous Time Out challenge (Use Stamping).

Thank you for visiting my blog today and for your lovely comments, so very much appreciated. xx
