Can you see me happy dancing as netball has been cancelled today, so I can stay home and craft? It’s the small things right?!
First is a card for The Library Challenge #40.
I was inspired by the bird on the cover of this book and had some pre-stamped and cut out images from the last time I visited my friend Michelle, that all I had to do was colour them in and add them to a card base.
Next is a birthday card for a guy who loves beer. I’m entering this over at Cardz4Guyz #227 – Celebrate challenge.
I used a beer stamp from Unity Stamps which I coloured with my Stampin Blends and then added some puffy paint to look like the beer foam.
My third card is for challenges over at Freshly Made Sketches #401 and Seize the Birthday #173 – square card.
I went super CAS with my card, sponging a circle in Stampin Up Smoky Slate ink, a sentiment from MFT popped up over some vellum leaves and a bit of gold thread.
Well that’s it for today, 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.

It’s funny what makes a great day for us… I used to love the days when netball and rugby got cancelled…. no rushing about to get kids to games or standing around in cold and wet weather watching… not that I didn’t love watching them…. You’ve made the most of your additional crafting time. Great cards Tristan.

Tx Dawn. I love watching her play, she’s so competitive, but it’s the icy cold air and standing around for 3 hrs that dies me in

Love that simple and elegant take on the sketch. Using a swirled twine for the circle is such a clever idea. Thanks a lot for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
