Global Design Project Challenge #222

Hello and thanks for stopping by. It has been such a long time between blog posts! I hope that you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. My family and I visited Qld for the break and so glad we did as our home town and surrounds were impacted by devastating bushfires. It is heartbreaking to see so many people and animals lose their homes, and some their lives. Let's hope that the worst has passed, my thoughts are with everyone impacted.

This year I have set myself a challenge to create and share more by entering card challenges regularly. The first one of the year is with the Global Design Project team. I really enjoy these challenges as they inspire me to create and give me ideas and inspiration.


This is a sketch challenge - the idea is to interpret this sketch and make it your own. I used the painted poppies bundle and the peaceful moments bundle plus the coordinating peaceful poppies designer series paper to create this thank you card.


The sentiment is heat embossed with white embossing powder on basic black cardstock. I really love this suite and was very lucky to win the painted poppies stamp set at the Onstage convention last year.

If you would like to join in on the challenge, and view all of the amazing enries pop over to the Global Design Project website for all of the details.

New online classes launched

With the kids off to school this week I am jumping back into blogging and tutorials. I have added online classes to my schedule this year but before I explain all of that, here is my first  tutorial for 2020. I have used the Timeless Tropical bundle and Sailing Home stamp set to create this silhouette card. This reminds me of my first overseas trip to Fiji in 2018 for my brothers wedding. I created the background using the sponge brayer and three inks - grapefruit grove, so saffron and petal pink. The palm trees, birds and sentiment are stamped in memento black ink. I love being able to mix and match different stamp sets and I think the birds look great on this card. To see how I've put this all together, view the time lapse video below. All of the measurements and supplies are listed in the video description. New Online Classes I have been asked by several customers if I could create online classes in 2020, so here they are!
