 My friend Esther gave me a very generous gift for Christmas, and bought the same for herself, so we decided to use our new crafty goodies to each make a project and post them together! Make sure you visit @escards on Instagram (click HERE) to see what Essie has made!

I stamped and stenciled the Billowing Peonies stamp once on a large piece of cardstock, cut it with the coordinating die, and cut it down carefully to create two cards from the one image!

This month's Stay Crafty Challenge with A Blog Named Hero is a throwback challenge - "Those Were The Days" - choose a challenge from past A Blog Named Hero Challenges, and make a new card to fit the challenge of your choice!

 The challenge in January 2023 was "Crazy little thing called love", so I've made a love card, using some of the January 2025 Hero Studio products!

Floral hello for Paper Rose

 Today, I'm sharing a card I made for Paper Rose Studio.

I began with some watercolour paper. I stamped and white embossed the Blossom Bouquet clear stamp four times around the edge of the panel. I used the ink smooshing technique to add some soft colour to the background, before adding more intense colour to the flowers and leaves using watercolour pencils. I cut the Fancy Script Layered Hello die from dark pink cardstock and adhered it to the centre of the panel, and adhered the panel to a white card base.

I am taking part in the CASE it Instagram hop today - please visit my IG feed (link in sidebar) to see whose card I CASED and see what the rest of the hoppers have created! 

This card was going to be a birthday card, but this sentiment just looked right! (Many of my cards have a life of their own - they rarely end up the way I had planned!)
