Berry

Good Morning Everyone, 
I hope you are all keeping safe and well. It looks like I might be back at work by the 1st of June so I'm going to try and make the most of the time I have at home with my kids. We've already tried lots of new baking recipes....although I think I need to 'socially distance' from cake!
Anyway here's another Christmas card to add to my tiny pile. I've used the adorable 'Berry' from Whimsy stamps.

I've coloured her with promarkers and the background papers are from First Edition.
I've used a Creative Expressions poinsettia die and sentiment tags from Lili of the Valley

Pretty Posy

Good Morning Everyone
I hope you are all keeping safe. We're still trying our best to do the home schooling, but I have to admit I'm on the verge of giving up! Tom got 45 hours of work last week - he is so stressed with it all. He is in year 10 so it's the first year towards his GSCE's. We went though all the work and decided what to do and what to ditch! I know the teachers are working so hard to do what they can, we all just have to do our best!
Anyway, you may remember that I was asked to be GDT at As You Like It, well it's time for the next challenge. The theme....

What is your favourite colour to use with purple and don't forget to explain why!

Mine is green (unless it's a Christmas card in which case it's blue!) Purple and green reminds me of flowers, particularly lupins which I love. 
Here's my card

The sponsor for this challenge is the fabulous..

I've used the adorable 'Pretty posy' from Lili of the Valley and coloured her with promarkers, and added a few liquid pearls for the buttons on her top and in the centre of some of the flowers.

Hunkydory Moonstone Die - Beautiful Borders
