Lots of Crafting

 Hi Friends! I've been recuperating from a nasty respiratory virus, which exacerbated my Asthma and I'm finally feeling much better.  I retreated to our Beach House and I've had absolutely no responsibilities for the last few days so I've been crafting to my hearts content, in between walks, reading and binging on Netflix.  


Here are a few cards I enjoyed making...

First of all I would like to remind you about our current challenge at CAS Mix Up, where the theme is 'Things with Wings' using watercolour.

Stamp & Die : Pinkfresh Studio Songbirds on Branch

*****************************************


I used some leftovers from the previous card to make this CAS card for a couple of challenges.
Stamp: Pinkfresh Studio Songbirds on Branch; Darkroom Door Butterfly
Die: Pinkfresh Studio Songbirds on Branch
Embossing Folder: Stampin Up

******************************************

This card was inspired by the metallic theme at SIEZE THE BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE:-

This is the same embossing folder and the gorgeous flower die is SSS Etched Layered Daisy.
I swiped Delicata Gold Ink over the white card stock and embossed panel, colouring the flower to match - it's very shimmery!

The next card was inspired by the CAS theme at THE FLOWER CHALLENGE...

The gorgeous flowers were stamped and coloured with Karin Markers. 
Stamp: Altenew Pen Sketched Flowers
Dies: Spellbinders

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










Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog! I love to read your comments:)

  1. What a beautiful array of cards! Each one is just beautiful and I love the fluttering butterflies on the embossed strip! I too had that horrible upper respiratory nonsense a couple weeks ago and it took quite a while to kick it to the curb, but it's finally gone! Here's to good health again!
