Last Minute Challenge Cards

 Hi there. I nearly forgot to share these cards I made for a few challenges...

The tag is made with Gina K Seasons Of Joy Tag die, with the top trimmed off and a die-cut bow added.
I stamped the daffodils from Gina K Easter Blessings and coloured with Karin Markers. The sentiment is from Spring Tulips and the bee from Beautiful Bees.  

The beautiful spray of flowers is from Altenew Sparkle Bright. The image was coloured with the Altenew inks using the Layered Stencils. I used the gorgeous Organic Linen EF for the background. 
This is a Shaker card made with a cellophane bag, which is so easy!

I'm sharing my cards at the following challenges:-

Favourite Flower

Hi there! I have nearly completed all my DT cards for this year so I was able to make some cards for my fave challenges this week 😍.


Every year I look forward to our Bearded Irises flowering in our garden and the photo inspiration at Altenew made me think of them. We've got a few months before Spring in Australia, but I can always add an Iris to my cards! 

I used both Karin and Zig Markers for the flower and Distress Oxide for the stencilled hearts.
Stamp: Altenew Enchanted Iris
Dies: Penny Black Rectangle, Simon Says Stamp Sentiment
Stencil: MFT Hearts
