After the old mojo wandered off for a week or so it decided to put in a brief appearance just long enough for me to make a card and a HUGE mess and then vacated the premises tout sweet! At least I’m happy with my latest offering I hope you are too

I used one of my favourite dies by Memory box the Dainty Fuschia Stem which was coloured with Distress Oxides in Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, and Mowed Lawn popped up with tons of double-sided foam and attached to a lovely Dotted Stardust debossing plate by Altenew. The sentiment is by A Pocket Full of Happiness, coloured with Wilted Violet and Picked Raspberry and then embossed with clear embossing powder for a touch of shine. In the photo, it looks more like a shadow than two separate colours but hey ho you can’t win em all.

I’m playing along with The Flower Challenge I’m really enjoying using up my floral dies and stamps I didn’t realise I had so many of them

Tic Tac Toe TTTC260 .The lovely and talented Vicky is the featured designer this time round, how could I not play along! I’ve chosen Ink Blending,CAS and Die Cut, I do hope it’s Cas enough!

A Cut Above where it’s anything goes using die cuts and option to “Warm it Up” I’m just using dies.

Well that’s all from me the craft room needs a good seeing too and little Miss Molly my chihuahua is asking for cuddles and who am I to deny her.

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend.

Take care

Welcome back to another fun challenge at Colorful Options. For November, we are asking you to use the color red.

Let’s celebrate the festive energy of red! We invite you to unleash your creativity with this bright hue or any saturation that inspires you. Let your imagination soar—where anything red goes! Whether it’s the rich tones of the holidays or the playful spirit of a circus, we want to see what “red” means to you.

If red isn’t quite your style, don’t worry! You’re also welcome to join us with a rainbow-inspired craft. Have fun, and let yourself enjoy!

I had a little trouble coming up with a card for this month, Mr. Mojo wasn’t playing ball and I hated every card I made, even Mr. P my biggest fan wasn’t impressed, but as the true crafter I am I soldiered on until that waste bin was overflowing!

For this one, I used the Poinsettia Bloom die set by Yanna Smakula for Spellbinders coloured with Distress Oxides, gold card, and velum and a few tears were added for good measure.

I was so disappointed with this card I made another, you lucky people 🙂

I was quite happy with this one until I showed the men in my life who all proceeded to say that the paint job of the beetle wasn’t very good !!!! Which was exactly what I was going for as it was supposed to be an old jalopy, they weren’t convinced and all raised eyebrows at my explanation. Needless to say, I won’t be asking their opinions in the near future.

The two die sets on this card are Poppy Stamps Whittle Racing Giraffe Kit the beetle is courtesy of Studio Lite. Distress Oxides, clear embossing powder, Kraft, and silver card on this “masterpiece”

The only thing that made up for this debacle was getting top four my birdie card at AAA Colourful Challenges for the card I cased from Michele at Icard everyone, thanks, Michele.

Please join us at Colorful Options my fellow teammates have once again come up with amazing cards to inspire and delight.

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend.
