Of course blue is my favourite colour!
This is made using watercolour card, lots of inks (JuiseyArt hybrid inks) and stamps (postage, stitching & circles) on the background as well as silver stencilling (Tim Holtz) and some ink blending. The circles and sheep are stamped and fussy cut, the sheep coloured with Copics. Cord with silver metallic thread.

A clean and simple card suitable for many occasions.
I diecut a leafy sprig in a couple of colours of card and stencilled directly onto the white base card with Distress Inks. A little gilding wax is rubbed to highlight the leaves. A smart stamped and diecut sentiment (Waffle Flower) finishes it.

I made this for our son who is mad on cricket, has been since a small kid and was an under 18 rep, now in his 50's and still playing. Cricket season has started here, so we won't see much of him over the southern summer, as in addition to working he practises on a weeknight and then plays at the weekend. His son plays in the same team.
I made the background using smooshed DI's and black DSpray. The sentiment is stamped randomly across the outfield and gold embossed; I think it looks like the crowd cheering. The cricketer is diecut and coloured with Copics.
Beautiful roses for a lovely lady. This fold is the NZ card swap for November, the fancy fold is on youtube called Slide and Lock by Jacque Williams and is easier than it looks. The centre piece slides and holds the front edges together. The flowers deserve a butterfly to visit them.
I used watercolour diecut card flowers & leaves (a prize from Stix2Anything) with watercolour paints. The beautiful papers are fromWeRMemoryKeepers pad, the diecut label is Spellbinders, other diecuts are a flourish and an aqua butterfly (BoBunny) from my Bitz Box. Stamped sentiment (Rosies Studio) cut to shape has gold heat embossing around the edges. All put together embellished with gold pearls, a gold brad and Ranger Stickles. The sliding piece could be re-used if wanted.
I made my own background paper using Ranger DI's. Frog stamped and fussy-cut. Sparkly mist (Lindy's Glitz Spritz), all the frogs I've seen sparkle.

Doc Martens, fairly CAS. Inspired by the SOS challenge. I didn't realise I had this many shoe stamps!
This could be masculine or feminine.
Usually workmen's boots, I don't know if these are still a thing or not, but I was always amazed at how young women could wear these with floral skirts and skinny tops and still look gorgeous.
Doc Marten Stamp from Deep Red, left uncoloured. Stamped sentiment. Wrapped twine. Thin strips of dark plum and matt silver laid along the edges. Card base is glossy purple. That's it.
