Fiona made a card using an Alpine Plant Clear Stamp Set and Stencils from Tracy Evans Boutique Designs. For the background she used Tim Holtz Salvaged Patina and Peeled Paint Distress Paints and Watercolour Pencils.

Andrea made a vibrant flower card using Tim Holtz’s Brushstroke Flowers Mini Die Set, along with Pinkfresh Studio’s Dotted Fancy Frames Die Set. The quote is from Dina Wakley’s Ledger Papers, Set 2 and she also incorporated some patterned paper from Amy Tangerine’s Paper Play book.

Barbara was inspired to create retro flowers by the Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Thinlits Atomic Retro Dies. She used Stampers Anonymous Layering Stencil Shifter Burst, used with Ranger Ink Distress Oxide Ink Pads for the background

Kath created a page in her Dina Wakley Media Ledger Journal using images from Simon Says Beautiful and Curious 6″ x 8″ stamp set and Distress Crayons from the May 2025 Card Kit, along with Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mosaic and Bubbles Mini Layering Stencils from Sets 28 and 46 to add interest to the background.

Macarena made a set of botanical tags as her celebration of Spring. She stamped the delicate Tim Holtz Forgotten Garden botanicals as a focal point of each tag and Tim Holtz Field Notes, Fragments and Sign Painter in the background.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Stamperia Shabby Rose 8×8 Paper on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz Sizzix WILDFLOWER STEMS 1 Thinlits Die and Tim Holtz idea-ology LOCKET KEYS Metal Hardware Keyhole.

Zoey used her favorite shades of pink distress ink for her background – she also mixed some stencils (Mini Set 52 + Typo )and stamps (Documented + Botanic Collage )to add some texture.
Her main focus is the beautiful Daisy and some Ideaology embellishments

So now it’s YOUR turn to get out your inks, paints and all things arty and start creating! We are looking forward to seeing what you make!
