Welcome to another edition of Slimline Sunday - using the extra design space to show off pretty DSP today! 


My design was inspired by playing along to a few challenges: The Card Concept  #tcc229 mood board & colour palette of yellow, green, black and white.

Perfect Grateful for You card for a sunflower lover - đŸŒ» Have I mentioned how much I love the little mice - they can hold so many different things which makes them so much more than Christmas Mice 🐭

Welcome to another edition of Slimline Sunday.


Today’s card design was inspired by playing along to a few challenges:

Colour INKspiration challenge #217 - pretty colour palette of Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana, Bubble Bath, Highland Heather and Crispy Cantaloupe. 


Freshly Made sketches - when I saw the long strip down the middle of the sketch I knew I wanted to try the Spotlight technique with my Sunflower embossing folder. I stretched the sketch to accommodate a slimline design.
 
Festive Friday’s World Cardmaking Challenge #FFO218 I’ve chosen the bright jewel colours, fancy slimline fold, stitching and a decorated envelope. 


I’m getting inky with Sunflower 3D embossing folder, Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera, Bubble Bath ribbon, Antique Pearls & Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana, Bubble Bath, Highland Heather, Crisp Cantaloupe inks & blending brushes. 


Love the spotlight technique - such a fun way to add pop of colour!

Slimline Sunday

Welcome to another edition of Slimline Sunday! Today’s card was loads of fun to put together.


My card design was inspired by playing along to a couple few challenges:

Stampin’ Up! Only Challenges has a fun sketch which I stretched into a slimline layout. #SUOC406 Loved the big bold scalloped focal point. 


Inspired By challenges has a fun Summer mood board with colour palette. I have chosen to play with  Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight and Crumb Cake with the big bold focal image of my sandy beach scene. 


Another round of Tic Tac Toe #tttc297 because it’s a fun game with lots of ways to win - down the middle summer theme, free is unique texture of sandpaper and lots of layers!  


I’m getting inky with Summer Happiness bundle, Sincerely Noted Mix & Match ephemera, Sunset Sparkle sequins, So Swirly Embossing folder and Spellbinders scallop circle dies from my stash. 


Had fun with the beach theme - adding sand paper adds a fun dimension and extra texture. Love the So Swirly embossing folder as it looks like waves or hot tub swirls!
