I’m happy to announce that as of today I’m officially a member of the design team for Sparkles Monthly Challenges. It’s a monthly challenge with an amazing design team and I’m super excited to be part of it.
Our challenge this month is #165 No Stamping Allowed and you have a whole month to come up with something wonderful.
For the base, I used the Cross Stitch cover plate and Dainty Blooms cover die both by Altenew. I then cut out the Dainty Blooms cover die for a second time using yellow card and paper pieced two of the blooms. The lovely little birdie is from Concord&9Th Eclectic Garden Set and the sentiment is courtesy of Mr Holtz.
I do hope you will join us over at Sparkles Monthly Challenges as the design team has some amazing cards to inspire and delight but don’t forget no stamping allowed !
I’m also linking up to
Double D challenges as they are asking us to use lemons or yellow as our focus

Take care

Congratulations on joining the sparkles design team. I love you first contribution. What a clever way to use that coverplate die. I have it and haven’t used it for a while, so thanks for the inspiration. Love the sunny yellow too xx

Yay! Congratulations, Marie! Another place to share what you love – how wonderful is that?! It isn’t a challenge I’m familiar with, so I’ll be sure to check it out!
