This is my second card for this challenge. 

It's a long story, but I will tell you all about it. 

We spend our winters in Florida. We will be leaving in a few days. That means that  Ineed to pack up some of my supplies as I do have a craft room in the South. I call it the SCR. I can't buy two of every stamp and die that I own, so I take what I think I will need for the next seven months and just make do with what I have. 

That means that I have placed all of my Altenew stamps and dies in my extra suitcase. It weighs 36 pounds and I can hardly lift it.  No problem because Altenew provides a digital image that is free for downloading and coloring. That is what I did for this card as now I have some time to make a card. 

This image is colored with Copic markers as close to the colors for this inspiration challenge.

In honor of World Card making day, I am entering this card in the 

Pink Fresh Challenge, anything goes!

And the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Stencil fun. 

What fun it was to pull out my Pink Fresh stamps, stencil and dies to make this card. 
The set from Pink Fresh is called Miss You Smile. It has so many sentiments that can be used. It is a large stamp and can be used for a slimline card. I only used part of the stamp here. 

The stencils are a quick way to color and get dimension, 
but I had to add some of my Copic markers as well.  
My embossing folder is from Spellbinders called Beveled Diamonds.
Then I used another die and stamp from Pink Fresh called Lush Greenery. 
I loved the single word die used here. 
Finished with Nuovo drops here and there. 
Don't you love a matching envelope? I do! 

A close look at the single word die. 
Inks use for this card are:
Gina K Tangerine Twist, Coral Reef, light Spruce, Medium Spruce.
Altenew Honey Drizzle and Caramel Toffee

Altenew October 2023 Inspiration Challenge

I loved these colors and was inspired to make a card to enter this challenge. 

As you can see these are the Altenew inks that I used for this card.  My stamp, stencil and die set that I used is Esplanade Flowers!

The background embossing folder is Altenew 3D Floating Foliage. After embossing the white panel, I lightly sponged Forest Glade ink over the raised parts. 

This sentiment is also from the same stamp set and set with black ink and clear embossing powder on Vellum. I could not resist adding a few green gems from my stash.  

Don't forget the inside! For this one I fussy cut a foliage image sponged with ink and added it to the bottom. A few score lines completed. it 

I am entering this card in the Altenew October 2023 Inspiration Challenge.

Can You Handle the Pressure?

This is a quick post. I actually wanted to avoid writing a post as I am getting lazy, I admit that. I was trying to post from my Instagram account, but the card was sideways, and I could not for the life of me get to correct.

 I am entering this card in the Can you handle the Pressure with a twist of bees or beehives. 

Here is the card that I made for this challenge. 

Supplies are :

Spellbinders beveled diamonds EF

The Greetery honey pot stamp and die

Memory box Itty Bitty Bumblebees die. 

Gold flakes 

Mushrooms that were on my desk.
