Merry and Bright


I have been invited to be a Guest DT member for November at


The theme for this challenge is
Merry and Bright


I've been using my Sweet Poppy stencils again to make this quite simple design.

I've used a poinsettia stencil and Versafine Clair inks to create this design. I've just layered it up using matching coloured card. Then I've added the Merry and Bright sentiment. A really quite quick christmas card ideal if your a person that likes to make the same design for everybody.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges
Aud Sentiments - Christmas
Crafters Cafe - Christmas

Crane Away


Here we are at the start of another month. It's a nearly the end of another year, don't they go so quick.

So we have a new challenge over at 

Our theme is always anything goes
but please make sure that an animal is the focal point of your entry



I've gone for inky stencilled layers today. The first layer was the blue circles. Then the green leaf layer. The 3rd layer was the Crane done in black. All these stencils are from Sweet Poppy Stencils, although the first two are discontinued. The I added some sentiment stamps the blue words are a second generation stamping. Then the final dreams sentiment. I did feel my Crane needed a little white eye
