These are the two stamp sets that I have used to highlight the recent Colour INKspiration Challenge. Celebrate with Flowers and Watercolour Shapes. The Watercolour Shapes are perfect for creating stunning backgrounds, but have no sentiments or images. The combination of the two worked really well together and I love the different orientation of Happy Birthday. The colours for this INKspiration Challenge were gorgeous and really worked well together. I wanted to create something soft and ... VIEW POST

This folder gives you that scrunched up ... VIEW POST
Creating Textured Cards using Verdant Garden.
Creating Textured Cards using Verdant Garden is a favourite technique of mine. For this card I have shown some different ways to add texture to your card. These couple of techniques are quick and easy but add such a huge impact. Of course it is not something that appeals to everyone and can be left clean. The papers and layout are beautiful so can easily be left as they are. Because I love this technique so much I did a Facebook Live and I have now uploaded to my You Tube ... VIEW POST
