I must admit that the current heatwave doesn't really suit me and not much crafting has been done so here's a card to share today which was made a while ago but didn't make it onto my blog at the time The brick wall effect was stencilled the the window and word die cut.
Something which I think might make you smile today. These die cuts landed on my doormat recently, courtesy of a friend who thought I'd enjoy using them so of course I had to set my brain working of ways in which they could be incorporated into a card layout. They were coloured using watercolour pens and I added a few components and here they are - biker bunnies, mark one 🤣. Sadly the blue background hasn't fared well in the picture - it's a much better match in real life, sigh!!
I have a Christmas card to share today, quite a simple one using a die cut angel which arrived in the post along with some other interesting and exciting die cuts, giving me lots of fun things to play with. They will certainly keep my brain active in working out ways they can be used with things I already have. I started by coating the angel die cut with glue and covering it with Glamour Dust which is a very fine twinkly glitter which I've had for many years - the pot always seems to come out for some of my Christmas cards 😉. (the effect doesn't really show in the picture). I found a small piece of snowflake paper which I popped behind an aperture cut into white card, added a scalloped surround and decided that was it done. I don't think this one needs any words although I did consider perhaps adding a twinkly snowflake to one of the corners before deciding on CAS for this one.

There is a new challenge in the Playground for the coming fortnight and, as usual, a super prize on offer. My card this time is fairly simple so only a small number of snippets used - just a piece of card which had been inked using various Distress Oxides and some snippets of white for stamping the flower image, parts of which were fussy cut and layered up to give some dimension. Various texture stamps have been used to over stamp the coloured piece for interest. The card blank was stamped with a wide border before assembling the rest of the components.
