CASE me a Christmas Card with Michelle Lupton

Hello! It's nearly that time of the year again! I'm happy to join my crafty friend Michelle Lupton for her annual Christmas challenge again. This time, we are asked to CASE each other's card. Since Michelle gets drunk on alcohol inks, I thought I would give it a go! Here is my take on one of her cards from a couple of years ago! For the current challenge, you can see her CASE on one of my cards here. Thank you for dropping by!

Here's Michelle's beautiful which I had the pleasure of receiving a couple of years ago!

Happy 25th Anniversary

I finally took the plunge and ordered this beautiful stamp from Altenew. Even though I'm not a colouring fan, I had fun colouring this Statement Flower stampset with Copic markers. No added design needed as the flowers speak for themselves! I had so much fun colouring, I ended colouring two more which I will share at a later date. Metropolitan Melbourne finally came out of strick COVID lockdown! Gradual transition to Covid-normal here!

Altenew Get Wild with Washi Challenge

 I just love this challenge at Altenew. I must confess I am a washi tape hoarder. When we were allowed to travel overseas, I would always be on a lookout for unusual washi tape to add to my stash! Needless to say, I have a small collection of Altenew tapes, I just love the wider tapes. Here are a couple of cards I made recently. A hack that I often use for cards is to add some tape to the envelopes. I do this for Christmas cards every year, it just add a bit of fun to the envelope. Thanks for dropping by!

No Stamping!

We’ve had two 60th birthday celebrations in my family and these were the cards I made with no stamping at all. The background is alcohol inks on Yupo. Thanks for dropping by!

A quick card

 I’m back with a very quick card which I made on the weekend. I used the gorgeous patterned paper from Altenew and added some stencilling and stamping with Distress Oxides which added a bit of depth to the background.
