Color Hues Challenge #130 - Fuchsia and Navy - Just A Note to Make You Smile (Better Press Society Flowers and Rays)

Hello,

Happy April 1st...already! 

Welcome to Colour Hues Challenge #130 where our wonderful team leader invites us to play with hues of Fuchsia and Navy for the next two weeks. Such a striking combination!

I'm on a mission to use my collection of Better Press Society plates. For this challenge, the Blooms and Rays (February 2026) came out for a play. The plate creates a full panel of the flowers/rays, however, I decided to case one of the styles from the inspiration sheet. The combination of the glimmered/stenciled images - in light shades of fuschia and navy, pair wonderfully with my cardstock squares.  I can use the remaining images to make more cards in a similar style: bonus!  The sentiment is from Alex Syberia Designs.

Please head to the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from my teammates, then join us in the gallery with your takes on Fuchsia and Navy. 

The challenge will be open until April 14th @ 9:00am (EST).

The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge and the overall

 winner will have the opportunity to be a future Guest Designer.

Thank you for dropping by!

AAA Birthday Card Challenge #84 - Use Washi Tape - Let's Celebrate Florals and Butterflies (Layer It Up Washi - AALL and Create)

Hello,

Happy April 1st...already! 

A new month means a new challenge; welcome to AAA Birthday Card Challenge #84 where we're inviting you to make Washi Tape a feature on your cards. So many varieties; so many ways to use it. 

We're delighted to have Silke joining us as our Guest Designer.

My card features a new-to-me product: Layer It Up Washi Tape from AALL & Create (also a new-to-me company). Simply line up four strips of the washi and watch the beautiful florals and butterflies image emerge. Of course, the washi can be used as 'simple' strips - which I've done on the background panel - but isn't the effect of layering it wonderful?  I feel like such an artist! LOL! I have a couple rolls of this tape with different patterns; looking forward to spending time crafting with them.

Please visit the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from my teammates.

Looking forward to seeing how you showcase washi tape on your cards. 

Thank you for dropping by!
