Pink Fresh Studio - Lush Elegance

 Hello friends, Happy Fri-Yay! 

I am whooshing by today with a few cards I have made for our lovely Tracy at 

Dies To Die For, with some of her gorgeous flowery goodies!

I have made so many cards with the Pink Fresh Studio Lush Elegance Set, it is really beautiful and has some gorgeous sentiments.  

I have also discovered Altenew Glitter Paste which is the best I have ever used - it is really smooth and it doesn't warp the card like some do! - plus it is so glittery!

Stamping Bella Uptown Girl Loves to Perform & Spellbinders Shine Bright

 Hello everyone,

Well - I am rather late to the 2026 party with my first card of the year!

I have been making cards, just not sharing them here!

I have also very excitedly joined Bonny Snowdon's Academy which is an amazing Pencil Drawing Course.  I am really enjoying it!  You may see more of that from me as the year progresses.

Anyways - here I am today to show you two cards.

I must say a MASSIVE thank you though to my lovely friend Elaine (Marker Geek).

I was inspired to make these cards after I saw one Elaine had made.  I just fell more than a little in love with it. - and what's more, the card style is perfect for two lovely girls - my friend Lyn's Grandaughters!

So with Elaine's approval, I made two cards which I am sharing with you today! - and oh my, I had the best card making fun I'd had in ages!

Pink Fresh Studio - Go For It!

Hello everyone and happy Saturday! 

I have been tormenting myself and playing with watercolours for about the umpteenth time!
