Big Hugs Hot Air Balloon card

Hi Crafty Friends,

I'm back! I've been studying this past year (interior decoration and design) and it's taken so much of my free time I just haven't had time to keep up my blogging. I have a semester break now and so I'm hoping to get back into things but on a much smaller scale, just entering a few challenges, not the gazillion I used to hehe. 

I've still been making cards every chance I get and I really hope you'll enjoy seeing my new creations.

This card was created with textured paste, stencil and then inked with distress oxide inks. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

As you like it - My fave colours to use out of Summer and Winter are definitely Summer - I love the bright, breezy pastels and happy colours, they just make you feel good.

Cute Card Thursday - Summer

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything goes

Simon Says Stamp (Wed) - Travel/Vacation

Word Art Wednesday -  Anything goes

Thank you so much for dropping by and extra special thanks to my lovely followers and visitors that leave some beautiful comments for me, they warm my heart.

Distress Oxide Inked round girly card (Polkadoodles image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's time for a new Polkadoodles challenge, woohoo!! I hope you'll join in as I love to see what you're all creating. Their challenge is always "anything goes" and you don't have to use one of their products. Nikky gives the DT a theme each time and this one was to create a round card.

For my card I have used a stunning image from the Darling Buds collection - she's called Crocus.

I die cut a white circle and scalloped circle and before I took them out of the metal die, I blended some oxide inks, sprayed lightly with water and dried off then took them out of the metal die which helped to give a crisp white edge to the dies. I used pinks and yellow Copics to colour her outfit and flowers for an orangy (is that a word hehe?) shade to them as well as the yellow and pinks. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Catch the Bug - anything goes 

Colour Crazy Challenge - anything goes W32 

The Corrosive Challenge - anything goes

Crafty Friends -  anything goes

Creative Craft Cottage - no patterned paper

Cute Card Thursday - Spots and dots

Simon Says Stamp (Mon) - Sprinkling and Splattering - I used distress oxide inks & water to create the background and added Nuvo drops too.
