I haven't used this set by Dina Wakley for some time, so thought I would give it an outing
I used shaded lilac DI for my stenciled background and then added french script in a couple of places using a very pale grey ink. The bird id stamped with Memento tuxedo black and restamped onto a scrap, which I coloured with promarkers, fussy cut and glued over the image on the card. I also diect a branch for her to stand on and stamped the message from the same set

Hi everyone
Today's card features a stamp by Rubber Stampede, which I have had for such a long time.
I stamped with my Misti using Memento tuxedo black and coloured with the following markers
Leaves - copics olive and Reno Art lettuce
flowers - Promarkers, arctic blue,pastel blue, cadet blue, and orchid
I stamped the flower head again and raised it with some foam tape
After trimming I layered onto a green stripey dp and added some matching blue ricrac trim

Passion for markers #609 - 'B' I used blue and blooms
Incy Wincey designs - dots/stripes/checks. I used stripes
Bizzy Becs Store challenge - a/g
I was browsing through my old craft magazines, and this design caught my eye
I cut the rectangle window and then pricked the holes for the stitching. I used a sparkly gold thread.
I then added acetate at the back and attached my 3d flower.
On the inside to cover the stitching I used a cream card and cut a slightly smaller window so that it resembles a frame to the window

Welcome
Today's card did not turn out as I expected! I was using an idea from one of Natasha's you tubes, but somehow I went off tangent.
I cut the leaves 3 times on my Cameo and tried to colour them with DI in green shades and yellow. I was not happy with the result so added some colour with copics. I added some little touches of gold paint, then layered them and glued to my card. I also added a torn strip of leafy DP to the side.
The stamp is my new Woodware one that my son sent over from Australia for me. It is embossed in gold EP

I used some more of the pretty coloured card for my background, and it is the last sheet that I have!
The three panels are from an unknown DP and I have rounded the corners too
A strip of lovely lace is glued across and my sentiment (again with rounded corners) is layered on top. This is another rub on - so many more to use!!

A bright and cheerful card today with my very old Hero Arts stamp. I only coloured 2 of the flowers with copics and fussy cut them. Copics used were E21, Y06, Y38, E49, and Creative graphic marker 35 lemon yellow.
I trimmed the leaves from a much larger die and tinted them slightly. The white card was diecut and layered onto my base. The message is a rub-on, from another box of stash that has been neglected. I have found that you need to heat them a little if they are not transferring well

Today's card features a gorgeous vintage car stamp (unknown)
I stamped it onto a wonky stitched oblong and made my background with a woodgrain embossing folder, which I swiped with a brown ink to show up the grain a little better.The piece of orange ribbon was a gift with a stamp I ordered from Australia and it gives a lift to the colours. The base card is brown too, and I see I have managed to cut the bottom off in the scan. I am still getting used to my new printer!!

I have been trying to make one card per day and this is yesterdays, but had to wait for some sunshine this morning to get a photo. I was trying to show the WOS sparkle on the butterfly and the fine glitter showing through on the background, but it did not happen. I wish I knew the secret of capturing sparkle!
The background was a piece of watercolour card that already had a glimmery wash on it. I added turquoise Brusho and spritzed with water. After it was dry I added in some random circles with a blue Promarker, then diecut out the part circle. Birthday was stamped with Brilliance Graphite Black and I die cut the 'happy' twice from some leftover scraps The butterfly was recycled from another project, and I added WOS to the wings

Simon Says Monday - dry embossing
We are in the middle of a level 4 lockdown again so I am enjoying the time making cards
For this one, I have used a simple fun fold from Natasha Foote Here is the link to her instructions on her You Tube channel
I used some dp from a 6x6 pad "Out of Print' by Basic Grey. I have had this pad a number of years, and don't think it is available now. I cut it to the same size as my card front, trimmed off a quarter and attached it to the inside right, and the rest is attached to the left
I diecut the shape, edged it in orange, stamped the sentiment using my misti, and attached it to the folded back piece. The flower leaf and button were added for further interest

I have followed the sketch from BYSHC to make my mini slimline card.
I have used DP from a 6x6 pad by MME and printed a digi that I had in my files. Sorry I do not know who the designer is. It is cut with a stitched circle die, and I also made a tag for the sentiment, which is a peeloff coloured red

A cute Penny Black stamp coloured with various markers, diecut with a wonky stitched die and layered on a strip of orange, and then on to the base card which is kraft
I have not used traditional colours for this one, but feel they suit the cute little reindeer's head, which is made from felt

Today's card uses an embossing folder that I have had for quite some time, but don't think I have ever used it! It is by Sizzix, but does not have a name
I applied Versamark to the butterflies before running it through my cuttlebug, and then quickly added some sparkly embossing powder.
I then used a wash of diluted peacock feather DI to colour the background. I did not think it was 'sparkly' enough so went over the butterflies with 'KindyGlitz"
I found the happy birthday message in one of my scrap boxes, so split the words and attached to the blank area.
I used black for the card base, and it looks much more 'glittery' in real life - I should have photographed it instead of scanning.
