Smooshed inks on an Easter Card!
I was thinking ahead to Darnell's (djkardkreations) IDEAS plan for this week - first Monday of the month so "I" is for inks/color mediums. I had decided to do some ink smooshing using acetate & did a blue and a green panel yesterday. So I was delighted to see Darnell's gorgeous smooshed vases (she used Lindy's magicals). I just used plain ol' water reactive inks for the greens and Distress Oxide inks for the blues. Here's my card:

February 2024 Card Chain Reveal
I'm back, as usual, on the 2nd to reveal cards going 'round the world - this time for the February 2024 Card Chain Challenge! Thirty-four people participated and you can see the entire reveal HERE. My card went to Kath (Handmade by Kath) in the UK.
As I often do, I used the color palette & followed the sketch. This time I included one of the theme options Balloon which I translated to a hot air balloon! Kath has used kitty images on her cards in the past so I put a kitty in the balloon basket.

Pomegranate Thanks
Hi everyone - welcome! I'm back with a final thank you card for birthday gifts received last month.

Wasn't sure what to do until I saw the current Just Us Girls Challenge #716 where you're to CASE one of the designers.
I like to tell my friends Lin (Sending Hugs) and Jean (Right as Rain) that I'd never get to my Spellbinders boxes if it weren't for their inspiration. Now I have to add Bobby (Bits and Pieces) to that list! She made a gorgeous card using Spellbinders August 2023 Large Die of the Month. Here's my card inspired by Bobby:
