First card of 2020

Finally trying to get back into card making/crafting again. Haven't posted anything in a very long time and I am sure a lot has changed since then. Have made a few things, which I will try and share if I can remember.
This is my first card of 2020


This card was made using:-

Dies - Marianne Creatables - Flowers
           Tonic - Square Scribble Frames
           Tattered Lace - Pindots Decorative
           Rectangles

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges (🤞 I remember how to do this)

Through the Purple Haze 163 - Anything Goes

Another card today.  Again plain and simple with another gorgeous whimsy image.  Came across all these when I was sorting through my stamps and have rarely used them.

Sweet Blossom

Sorry for the lack of posts, been  looking after my little nephew until last weekend and then my daughter had her graduation -  BA Hons in Spanish with French with a Diploma in Professional Practice (International), (she worked in a school in Linares, Spain for her placement year).



Recently sorted through all my crafty supplies and came across stamps that I had forgotten about and some that had never been used.

Made this card with Sweet Blossom from Whimsy Stamps - she is really cute and lovely to colour
