Weekend Crafting Fun

It’s springtime here in Melbourne and the sun in shining; I love this time of year, the temperature is in the mid 20’s, the sun is out with a light breeze – perfect.

So why am I in my craft room? Well I needed a bit of quite time after Miss K’s netball games this morning in the sun and before I join my extended family for a BBQ.

I was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketch and MUSE Challenge card by the lovely Tracey McNealy.

I loved the main circle image on both layouts with some feature images on each; so die cut a gold metal piece into a circle rim. I ten stamped up the tress from the Clearly Besotted ‘Modern CHristmas’ set using Catherine Pooler Designs Lime Rickey ink and a sentiment from Ellen Hutson’s ‘Mondo Holly set’ in Momento Black ink.

My second card is for the challenges over at CASology and Little Red Wagon.

I’ve been having fun creating alcohol ink spot cards lately – I love how they can highlight the beauty of the inks. I chose to make another card in this style in blue and purple and added a sentiment from Power Poppy called ‘Big Scripts’.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hey there! I’m a card-making enthusiast with a passion for creativity that knows no bounds. Currently, I’m fortunate to be a part of four fantastic international card design teams, where I get to explore my craft and connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe. It’s amazing how the world of card making can bring people together, and I’m constantly inspired by the diversity of styles and ideas that come my way. Beyond my card-making adventures, I lead a pretty busy life in the learning and development field, where I work full time as a Learning Lead. I thrive on helping others grow and reach their full potential, and it’s a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. When I’m not immersed in the world of work or crafting, you can find me on the netball court, coaching and sharing my love for the game with a bunch of amazing individuals. So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and I hope you enjoy exploring my card creations and more.
