Enjoy the ride...

Helloooo,

I am excited to anounce that I am the Guest Designer for the month of May at Daring Cardmakers...
I love the concept of this challenges...there is a new dare each week and each dare is awesome...

The dare this week is to be inspired by this photo...

You have to use at least three elements from the picture on your card

The elements I chose are woodgrain, cycle and leaves...

If you are wondering why the cycle and sentiment are so bright...its because I have used Sakura Gelly Roll Moonlight pens...love how bright they are against dark backgrounds...

Playing with Die-cuts

Heya everyone.

Dropping in for a quick post...
I made this card recently...just playing with stuff in my stash...

Die-cuts from a local store, Simple Stories Frame, some leftover burlap and some stamping with Design By Ryn stamp...all on a dark grey cardstock and the card was done...

 These die-cuts have a bit of shimmer...which is pretty cool...

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Hello crafters,

Its been a long time since I have posted on this blog...a lot of reasons for the absence...I was busy...had lost my mojo...and more...
But the enormous amount of inspiration on blogland brought me back...an inspiration photo...a new product...a new technique...there are so many ways blogland inspires you and you just can't resist sitting on your craft table and create something awesome...

The trigger for me was this beautiful colour theme at Color Throwdown this week...

Another trigger was the awesome stamp set by Ryn Tanaka...which is a new addition to my stamp collection...

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
