Been a really lucky girl recently – I was drawn as winner for Funky Fairy's Challenge #24 and as a prize I chose the fantastic Colorful Daze set of papers, alphas, embellishments and more. Could not wait to use them in a card and what better way but to use them for another Funky Fairy's Challenge, which this week is Paper Piecing…
I have just discovered walnut stain distress ink from Tim Holtz and I LOVE it! Wow, it is just fab to use to distress papers. So having a play with the walnut stain, I did this card with the fab sketch from Stamp Something (just got it done in time for the challenge – again) using the Nature theme from Arty Girlz.…
Here is a card using brown and turquoise, one of my favourite colour combinations.

Here is a children theme ATC for Lots To Do Challenge. I kinda love the pink gingham with the turquiose ink colours.
I've been playing with word backgrounds coloured with inks for a while, I kinda like the effect. So I've used this technique for this card inspired by two challenges, the Lilac challenge at SBS 18 Challenges and the 'cards that take less than 10 min' challenge at Daring Cardmakers.
There is some fab blog candy up on Enjays Craft Pages, celebrating 11,000 hits - well done!
