blues and purples

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well.
I have been playing with my new stitched dies from Stamplorations, and I am very pleased with them.
I stamped my hydrangea (Rubber Stampede) and added it to the pretty purple card base. I also added Madeira corner (Memory Box)in silver card and the double layered butterfly (possibly Spellbinders).

New baby card

Hi everyone, and a warm welcome to my 2 new followers.
I have made this card for a co-worker, who has just become a grandmother for the first time. Her new grandson arrived at the weekend - no name yet!
This is an un-named stamp which I have coloured with my Promarkers,
Caramel, Silver lining Argent, Arctic blue, and Cloud blue.
I used a stitched circle die to cut it out, then layered onto som matching blue dp. The edges are sponged with Broken China DI

Today's card features a beautiful stamp which does not need any embellishment at all. I stamped onto a very pale cream card snippet, then layered onto a di background, then layered again onto a cream card base. I used chalks to lightly colour the trees and the ground.

I'm back!

Hi everyone. It is good to be back home after a wonderful two weeks River cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam. It always takes me some time to get over the long flights, the second one was 15 hours!
I have had time to make this CAS card which I cased from Coralynn Murray of Sunrise Stamper. The background stamps and the happy birthday are by Paperbabe. I used my Misti with the words so that they would show up well.

Have wings - will fly.....

.... is the title of the current challenge at CuttlebugMania

My card's top layer was cut out with my stitched rectangle die, and then embossed in the cuttlebug with Butterfly Kisses folder from Craft Concepts
I used the deboss side and coloured them with a Promarker. I also cut my butterfly with my CB layered it, and added Wink of Stella to the top wings

I am also entering Deep Ocean challenge for a/g

Favourite blue

 Hi everyone.
I have had fun making this card which is called a 'z' fold. I used a black base, which I scored in 2 places with my ScorPal and then a pretty blue dp (one of my favourites) layered onto white for 2 of the panels. The third panel is white with sponged blue edges, and a message stamped. The narrow strip, also scored in 2 places, has layered blue flowers on the first section and the next 2 were stamped, with the flower coloured to match.

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well.

Today's card features a lovely background made with oxides, and overstamped with circles from  Rubberdance 'round in circles'. The flowers are from an unbranded set. I diecut the best wishes and the Madera Corner from Memory Box. I added some red gems to the flowers.
