Hello everyone. I am back from my sojourn to see my sister in Canada – fabulous to catch-up face-to-face and help sort her craft room in the new house.

It is time for the new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz, and Caz has chosen the theme of:

Blue Skies

Here is my card:

I started by creating the blue skies in the background by using an MFT stencil and Pinkfresh Studio inks. I then added a couple of layers of grass, also by using a stencil and ink blending.

The main image of the mushroom is from a Spellbinders die set ‘Mushroom Mansion‘ and die cut from Spellbinders and Concord & 9th card stock. The foliage and flowers are also from the same die set.

All the layers were glued and assembled, the layout arranged to my liking, and then the sentiment die cut and added.

A few small gems inserted to the centre of the flowers, and for the door knob on the mushroom.

I hope you can come and join us with your creation following our theme – add blue skies. xx
