Second challenge card of the day and this time it's for the Rainbow Card Challenge I love my greens and I had the perfect ink for this - Emerald Envy. Take a look at my card I used Lily Pad Lake and the matching dies for this card and I must admit I do like the way it has turned out. I stamped the waves directly on to the card base and then added a die circle onto which I had added the die cut waves. Around this circle I added the stork, lily pads and reeds. No sentiment on this so it can be used for almost any occasion. My DT colleagues have also creating some stunning cards - please do pop over and investigate. See you soon - J xx

Today I am part of a Blog Hop in honour of one of my fellow DT friends. I work with her on Christmas 24 and The Rainbow Card Challenge. Just recently she lost her brother to esophageal cancer so this is a tribute to her and her brother. We are all using the colour periwinkle blue as that is the colour of esophageal cancer awareness. Here is my card Please take the tome to visit all the blogs on this hop.

Sympathy cards are probably some of the hardest to do - especially when it's someone you know. This is a card I made for a friend who sadly lost her husband. No sentiment or words - what can you say - but just quiet and peaceful. Lily Pad Lake was used and teals and blues for the colour. My stork was stamped and die cut on the Big Shot as this set has marvellously matching dies. See you soon - j xx

The start of the month saw a new challenge over at the Rainbow Card Challenge This month Mynn has a gorgeous colour combo - take a look Now I don't own any 'neon' colours so my card is just a rainbow coloured card and I really enjoyed creating it The ships were coloured with my new Stampin' Blends and the sea was stamped with Pacific Point ink. Here's a closer view The stamp set I have used is one I purchased in my Starter Kit when I joined as a demonstrator - it's called Lilypad Lake and it's available in this year's catalogue too. All products used on this project can be purchased from me - please do get in touch. Thanks for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
