Whimsy Stamps Donut Birthdays

Good afternoon and welcome to a new post form me for Whimsy Stamps. Today I have used the fabulous Donut Birthdays stamp set for my card as doughnuts (spelt the British way!) are a weakness of mine, especially if they are Krispy Kremes!

I cut out three circles, slightly bigger than the donuts to kind of look like plates that the donuts are sitting on and then covered all the icing with Crystal Effects to give them a shiny glaze! Love these cute happy faces! I also used an embossing folder for the background as I wanted a sprinkles type effect and didn't have any papers or stamps that would work. I can't remember the last time I used one of these but it has been years! Love the effect, so I really should dig them out more!

The Paper Shelter Challenge #330 Hot or Cold Colours

Good Morning and welcome to my post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week the challenge is for you to use either hot or cold colours. I chose to use cold colours and made a Christmas card. I know, crazy right? I should be making Easter cards or something, but I did plan on making at least 1 Christmas card every month, so I had a small collection ready for next Christmas, but I have only made 1 so far, way back in January! This challenge was a great way for me to add another to the box!

I used the adorable Snowflakes image and went with a lilac, green and blue combo with lots of added glitter and Frantage to add to the snowy effect. Looks very cold and icy there!

Simply B Stamps Progressive Challenge - Audrey's Flight

Good Morning and welcome to my blogpost today. I am sharing my latest progressive challenge project for Simply B Stamps using the cute Audrey's Flight.

Ching-Chou Kuik March Challenge - Spring or Easter

Good Morning and welcome to my post for the new challenge from Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration and Challenge blog. This month our challenge is Spring or Easter and I chose to use the gorgeous Girl In Spring for my card.

I actually coloured her up with some particular patterned papers in mind and then when I went to make the card, the colours didn't match at all LOL. (I hadn't actually checked the colours - just thought I knew what they were!) Queue a mad hunt to find some that matched then! This was as close as I could get, but I think they work well.

Faery Ink Birthday Fae Arielle Bringing In The Spring

Good Morning and welcome to another of my inspiration posts for Faery Ink. I thought I would go for something bright and beautiful to bring on some Springtime sunshine. We have had a week of snow here in the UK - the so-called Beast from the East - and I am desperate for some sunshine now! The snow has more or less gone where I live, but it is still really cold, wet and windy!

I used the gorgeous Birthday Fae Arielle and used the bonus image you get when you purchase this one. Without her balloons she can be used for any occasion! Isn't she just adorable?

I used some old Spring patterned papers from Lemon Craft with the matching ribbon and flowers as well and this colour combo has definitely cheered me up!

I used the adorable Away with the Bunnies for my card and used a soft Spring like pastel colour palette. I kept the card fairly simple as the image is quite large and needed to be the focal point.
