From sketch to finished card! I’m joining in with From sketch to finished card!

I’m joining in with this month’s @rosiesstudio Sketch Challenge, using this fun 3×3 design as my starting point.

For my take on the sketch, I used the Simply Charming collection, replacing each section of the grid with a different patterned paper before building up that central panel with lots of florals, foliage and the sweetest little bird.

That’s what I love about sketches — you don’t have to follow them literally. Use the basic layout, raid your stash and see where it takes you!

Fancy giving this sketch a go? Make sure you check out the challenge over at @rosiesstudio.

I’m joining @alexsyberiadesigns today to celebrate I’m joining @alexsyberiadesigns today to celebrate the brand-new Cozy Tea Time Autumn Collection!

For my card, I’ve used the beautiful Magical Wisteria and had another go at no-line watercolouring. Am I suddenly a watercolour expert? Absolutely not 😂 But I really enjoyed building up those soft lilac blooms and fresh green leaves, then pairing everything with kraft cardstock, a subtle blue background and a little natural twine.

I actually love how soft and slightly imperfect the finished look feels — sometimes it’s more about enjoying the technique than getting every tiny petal perfect!

Hop along for lots of beautiful inspiration and a chance to win one of three $15/£15 gift cards!

A little behind the scenes from yesterday’s @alexs A little behind the scenes from yesterday’s @alexsyberiadesigns release!

I shared the finished card yesterday, but I couldn’t resist showing you some of the colouring that went into bringing this beautiful Magical Wisteria image to life.

Those pink blooms took a little patience, but watching all that white space slowly disappear is ridiculously satisfying.

If you missed yesterday’s post, make sure you have a peek — there’s lots more inspiration from the new release over on my blog too!

Are you a love the colouring or just get me to the finished card kind of crafter?

Ever wondered how to get rid of those harsh white Ever wondered how to get rid of those harsh white edges on your die cuts?

Someone asked how I colour my stamped images on darker cardstock, so I thought this little technique deserved another share!

It’s such a simple trick, but it makes a HUGE difference to the finished result.

Do you colour the edges of your die cuts, or is this something new you’re going to try?

I’m joining the @alexsyberiadesigns Cozy Tea Time I’m joining the @alexsyberiadesigns Cozy Tea Time Release Blog Hop today with this floral beauty!
I used the Magical Wisteria Bundle to create this layered design, stamping the florals across the card base and raised mat before adding an extra die-cut wisteria piece over the top.
I love how much depth this one has, especially with a little selective fussy cutting through the foliage to help some of those leaves lift away from the card.
The soft pink flowers, fresh greens and crisp white background keep everything feeling light and elegant, while the black splatter and iridescent sequins add just enough contrast.
The full Cozy Tea Time Release is available now from Alex Syberia Designs, and there’s also a giveaway running as part of today’s hop.
Head over to my blog for the full card details, blog hop information and giveaway details.
What do you think of the Magical Wisteria Bundle?
