Just Us Girls #747 - Color Week

It's Color Week at Just Us Girls and our host Lisa has chosen these:

I want to welcome Kerry Parkinson as our guest for the month of October.  Her blog is Kerry's Papercraft and you'll definitely want to check it out.  

My card features what else but Altenew flowers. 😊 These are the layered Canterbury Bells stamped with Altenew inks. They are added to light gray cardstock that has been embossed with the Spellbinders plaid folder. 

This is such a pretty color combination.  Check out what the Design Team and Kerry have done with it and then make a card for our gallery.  We'd love to see you there.

Tic Tac Toe #241

Hey there!  I'm so glad you dropped by.

Anytime a challenge asks for flowers you can be pretty sure I'll make a card.  This one's for Tic Tac Toe.


I used the bottom row: flowers, stripes or dots, and green.  I hope my Hemstitch oval counts as dots.  The Canterbury Bells are from Altenew and the sentiment is from Honey Bee. 

Have a beautiful day.

Color Hues #62

Purple and green just screamed flowers to me so that's what I made for the Color Hues challenge. 


I used Altenew inks to color their Canterbury Bells and placed them on a background that was cut with a Honey Bee coverplate.  The sentiment is one I picked up at the Dollar Tree and it worked well on the Altenew Apothecary Label. 

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a great week!

Color Hues #22

Time for another Color Hues challenge and this time it's


Sometimes I like these colors on Christmas cards but since I have few Christmas stamps with me I had to go with flowers.  Not again you say?  Better get used to it.  lol  Flowers are what I do.


For my flowers I stamped Altenew's Canterbury Bells in Altenew inks adding a little shading with PolyChromos pencils.  I just got a background die from Jillian Vance and used it for some texture.  I had a little trouble cutting it out but made it work, covering the worst parts with the flowers and sentiment.

Thanks for dropping by.

The Flower Challenge #55 - Reminder

There is still time to get your pastel flowers made and into the gallery at The Flower Challenge.

Most flowers are generally pastel but when I stamp them they come out too dark so I decided to watercolor my Altenew Canterbury Bells using Distress Inks.

In order to fit them on, I made a mini-slimline card with a background done on my gel plate, popping up the pink ones on foam tape.  My first attempt at a sentiment didn't stamp correctly but fortunately I had a scrap of the background to stamp and place over the mistake.

The rest of the Design Team have cards over on the blog for your inspiration.  We hope you'll join us for this challenge.

Just Us Girls #548 - Trend Week

I get to be your host this week at Just Us Girls and for Trend Week I have chosen this:
Notice I added a disclaimer.  Any window opening on your card will do. 
I used the dome die from Waffle Flower to show off my wonderful Canterbury Bells from Altenew. The background was inked with Broken China DI and the window popped up with foam.

Our guest designer Lisa Elton and the rest of the Design Team have some lovely window cards for your inspiration.  Hop on over to take a peek and then make a card for our gallery.  We'd love to see you there.

Color Throwdown #590

Happy Sunday, friends.  I have a card  for Color Throwdown.
I adore my Canterbury Bells from Altenew and have stamped them in almost every color.  They look wonderful mixed together in the challenge colors.  I cut a panel with a Gina Marie die and mounted everything on Neenah Desert Storm.  I'm not sure I like the sentiment along the side but it said what I wanted to say.

And I say it to all of you.  I wish you all the good things.

AAA Birthday #11

I originally made this card for the Time Out challenge but when I just went to enter it in their gallery the linky was closed.  I'm sad because I've had the card made for several days and didn't post it.

It does fit the challenge at AAA Birthday so I'm entering it there.
The minute I received my Altenew Canterbury Bells I had to give them a try.  Aren't they lovely?  I die cut them and placed them on a panel stamped with Altenew's Rustic Linen background. 

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope you're finding lots of crafting time while we're sheltered in place.
