It feels very strange posting this card on the first day of a heatwave in the UK! But the current Lawn Fawn challenge is Christmas in July, so here we go! I started out by ink blending an A2 sized panel of Neenah solar white classic crest 110lb card stock with festive colours: candied apple,…

It was Father’s Day yesterday, here in the UK, and I made my husband this “super” cute card to celebrate. My daughter LOVES the Avengers so this stamp set from Clearly Besotted (called Super Pug) was a must buy!! I started by masking off the bottom portion of an A2 piece of watercolour card –…

Another weekend, another kids party for my 4 year old!! The birthday girl is big into princesses, so I decided to make her a magical shaker card using the Fairytale Mermaid stamp set by Clearly Besotted, featuring a mermaid that I coloured up like Ariel. I stamped and coloured the mermaid and other images using…
