One post- Two cards...


 Good morning, it's time for a mid month reminder and today I have two cards to share. 
The first is my DT card for Stamping Sensations, as always the theme is anything goes,  the optional twist is 'hand coloured image'.
I made another CAS card, seems to be where my head is going so far this year. The little fairy is a Whimsy Stamp, had her for some years but this is the first time she's seen an ink pad! I've coloured her up with copics and used some circle dies and a stencil to mask and colour the circle for her to sit on, then stamped the sentiment.


My second card is a reminder for We Love Stamping, I have the honour to be a guest designer this month.

The theme is again anything goes, the optional twist for this challenge is Anything but Square.

I kept the design very simple, a tent fold card with a rectangular panel added to  the front. I've used some sweet stamps from Colorado Crafts, stencilled the clouds and coloured the rest with my markers.

There are some wonderful prizes on offer from both these challenges, please hop over to the main challenge blogs for details and for some fabulous inspiration from both Design Teams. There's still plenty of time to join in with both of these challenges, so hope to see you there.

Thanks for visiting, hope you have a lovely weekend.

Gorgeous delicate colours and a wonderful layout on your fairy card and a fun card featuring the Colorado Craft images

Two super cards Chris, the Fairy image on the first is delightful and lends itself to the CAS design.

Your WLS GD card is adorable with those Bunnies out in the meadow on a summer day, great shaped easel as well. Thanks so much for being our Guest Designer at We Love Stamping.

What a fantastic post with two beautiful cards! Your CAS fairy card is absolutely lovely—her soft colors and the masked circle create such a sweet, peaceful feel. It's great that she's finally making an appearance after all these years! Your second card is equally charming; the tent fold design and stenciled clouds add such a nice touch to the adorable Colorado Crafts stamps. Both cards are so well done.
