Clearly Besotted – May release!!

Hello all – here with news of the imminent release of new stamps and dies over at Clearly Besotted Stamps.  This release features more stunning designs from Steph and Jenny and again – there’s something for everyone!  One of my favourite sets in this release is “Thinking of You” and features two stunning stem flowers – a lily and an orchid.  I couldn’t wait to colour the lily – they’re one of my favourite flowers.  I used promarkers and added a bit of sparkle with some glitter and gems to finish.

It’s a beautiful weekend here on the Wirral and the Sunday roast is already in the oven!  I’m of to the garden with a cuppa – enjoy your day where ever you are.

It’s sunny – so here’s a sunshiney card!

Hellooooo!  Here to share a card I made for my lovely sister-in-law Nikki who has recently become the newest member of the “40” club!  She has always loved the colour yellow and sunflowers are one of her favourites (they always remind me of her) so I immediately grabbed the Blooming Marvellous set from Clearly Besotted when I sat down to make her a card.

The little “40” was cut using the modern numbers dies from PTI and the sentiment is from Big Birthday Wishes.

Well, better get back to work – groan!

CASE Study Challenge (the last one not the new one!!)

I know I missed it (story of my life lately) but here is card I was inspired to make when I saw this card by JJ Bolton, the current muse over at the CASE Study challenge blog.  This is the last challenge – not the current one but even though I’m late for the party I thought I’d share it anyway!!

Here’s JJ’s card…

And here’s my take on it – it’s not interactive (still getting to grips with that particular arena of cardmaking) but I was drawn to the negative die cut and bold colours.

The speech bubble dies and sentiment are from one of the latest releases from Clearly Besotted stamps – go check them out!

Thanks again for dropping by!
