Kwernerdesign Colour Inspiration Challenge and an unhappy cat!


It is pouring with rain here in England, and has been for a few days. My cat, who is called Custard, is very unhappy about this. He just sits looking out of his cat flap and clearly expects me to be able to stop the rain!

At least the bad weather means that I don't have to feel too guilty about staying in and playing along with Kristina's latest challenge.



This simple little 'Thank you' card is for a dear friend called June. She never forgets to send myself and my hubby a birthday card and gift, so this is to thank her for her friendship and kindness.

Once again, I struggled with Kristina's colours. I also struggled with my second experiment with chipboard. I was hoping to clear emboss a pattern onto the chipboard shape, but it didn't quite go to plan. However, it has given the chipboard a nice texture so I'm not too disappointed.

All of the cardstock is Bazzill, the stamps are from Hero Arts and I used Versacolour inks.

I cannot believe that it is raining so much, my garden is turning into a swamp - can cats swim?

Kristina's Colour Challenge 50#


If you are a follower of the fabulous Kristina Werner's blog you cannot fail to be aware that she has just opened Colour Challenge 50#. Here is my entry for the challenge. I love the colours: they just said 'Let's celebrate' so I used a Technique Tuesday stamp and lots of bright cardstock and buttons to join in the fun!
Card Recipe:
Bazzils - Java Cardstock
Woodware buttons
Red/blue cardstock - from my stash (unknown brand)
Ribbon - from my stash (unknown brand)
Bazzils - Just the edge/white
Technique Tuesday/ Ali Edwards stamp - Everyday words
Cuttlebugg - Swiss dots
Hero Arts - Raindrops stamp
...and some horrible white embossing powder that is going in the bin!
