Cornflower blue

 Hello lovely crafters!

We're starting a new challenge at Shopping our Stash:

Across the border - use any border die or punch. Dig into your stash and see what you have. 

I've used a pretty lace effect edger die diagonally across the card. 

I started this by using my Inky Doodles stamps to create the pattern on the paper at the bottom of the card. The stamps are Print Backgrounds 2 and layer up to create many different patterns. I've had them for a few years and still love them. They should definitely come out more often. 

I stamped a green and pink grid layer. The pink is faint and doesn't show up here. I added a blue Card-io flower in the squares. 

The  big flower is Little Claire stamped, embossed in silver, inked and cut out twice. With inked leaves from a different nameless die set. 

Love this Cornflower blue colour. 

I hope you will search out your dies and punches and join in with us this fortnight. 

Thank you for visiting, enjoy your day. x

Twofer snowflakes

 Hello lovely crafters. 

 I'm catching up with my Christmas cards, after I checked last month thinking I had a little stash and found 3. 

Here are two more, it's great when you can create 2 at the same time. I wanted to cut this inky piece and use it angled at the top of a card so then I decided to use the remainder on another one. 

I've stamped and embossed Tim Holtz snowflakes and then inked with Brushos. Layered on scraps of blue card and edged with die cut 'icicles'. The snowflakes are also cut from scraps and snippets. 

I'm joining in with Shopping our Stash #459: Triple Threat - use three of something. 

I've used three snowflakes on each and also 3 pearls. Very old snowflake dies, snowflake stamps new last year, greeting several years old plus snippets - good job!

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day. x
