Country View Challenges - First Signs of Spring

Welcome again.

Today I am sharing my second project of the month for the Country View Crafts Challenge.

I used alot of my favourite Tim Holtz goodies on this card.  I adore the Spring  Shadows stamp set and the beautiful embossing folder.  

You can't see in the photo but there is a dot of glitter in each circle.

I also loved using Chocolate and Pink colours together.

This project made me thing of happy times to come and longer evenings.

Pop over to the Challenge blog to see the inspiration for the challenge this month.  And I hope that I have inspired you to join in - you never know - you might be the lucky winner of the £20 gift voucher to spend in the shop.

Thanks for joining me!

Country View Crafts Challenges: Signs of Spring

 Happy February!

This month I have been lucky to choose the topic over at Country View Crafts Challenges.  I chose the theme of Spring.  It brings with it hope and lighter days.

Here is my first project for the month

I literally went to town with this card using lots of my favourite products and mediums.

I used the following:

Stamperia Soft Mould

Stamperia Cream Paste (cannot get enough of this medium)

Tim Holtz Large Stem Flower Dies

Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Tim Holtz Alpha dies

I had such great fun creating this card, it did the job of lifting my spirits.

Country View Crafts Challenges - Square

Hope you are all having a creative January.

Here is my second project for the month:

My background was created using the Tim Holtz Vines and Roses stamp set.  I embossed the image in white then coloured the background using Distress Inks.

The main image is from the super cute Felines set by Janet Klein for Aall and Create.  I simply adore this set.

Country View Crafts Challenges - Squares

Happy New Year to you all.

Today marks the start of a New Year and the first 2021 challenge over at Country View Crafts Challenges.

Here is my first project for the 'squares' theme:

My background was created using loads of layered  squares.  I added random stamping using a Janet Klein stamp set.

My main image is the wonderful Sewing Forever set from Tracy Evans for Aall and Create.  I really love this collaged image.

This was a really fun card to create.  It was interesting to layer so many squares together.

Do pop over to the Challenge blog to see the inspiration from the rest of the team.  I really encourage you to join in with the challenge. Don't forget, you may be the lucky winner of a gift voucher to spend in the online store.

Country View Crafts Challenges - Christmas - Anything Goes

Eek - not long to go until the big day - not many sleeps left!

Here is my second project for the December challenge:

The papers were from a Christmas release.  I filled my shaker dome with mica - I thought it was softer than fake snow or sequins.  I die cut pine leaves from a Tim Holtz Sizzix set and used an Ideology metal token.

I really enjoyed how this card turned out.

Do pop over to the blog to see the inspiration and to join in with the challenge - you never know, you might be the successful winner.

Thanks for joining me today.

And if this is your last visit to my blog before the Festive Season I wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas.
