Full Bloom Christmas

The challenge at Moo Mania and More this week is Squares. I was playing with Kraft card for the Inkspirational Use Kraft challenge, and had a nicely sized ‘scrapling’ left over when I trimmed my card, so I made this simple little card, drawing three rough squares and using Gel pens for the splashes of colour. I didn't know I had some washi tape with squares on it - perfect.
Some of the DT used photos for their squares, which brought to mind an old Time to Stamp plate, Photo booth. I rooted it out and played around a little, distressing the card with Oxides after stamping the squares along the edge. This is what I ended up with.
The card I used is part of a pack sold as Kraft cards - it really is NOT kraft - it’s more of a matt goldy colour - such a shame.
This card is for Inkspirational Challenge. It’s an old image, from the Stamp Man, but I love these flowers and thought they’d look good on the Kraft card. I coloured with Prisma Pencils, but it’s not so easy to colour ribbed card with pencils, lol.
I made this following a Mood Board for a challenge which had ended by the time I got around to scanning it - story of my life, lol. But I love the colour combination - beige, brown and soft blue. I used Tumbled Glass, Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs Distress Oxides on the background.
Thanks for popping by
Back soon

You are such a pro with craft paper - the most beautiful cards I always see here at your blog! I love the little scrapling you made with those lovely squares added for MOO Mania & More Challenge - # 183 - thank you for joining us dear Cath! And the other cards are also beauties. The one with the Stamp Man stamp is my favourite today! Happy weekendahead !

Fabulous cards again Cath. The kraft base looks really good. I must look out some older stamps that haven't seen the daylight in many a month after seeing your inspirational cards.

All cards are wonderful unique creations.

Wow, so much inspiration today! Your cards are just gorgeous, I especially like the first one with the crown quote, such fun ...lol 😉. Happy Friday and Weekend! J 😊 x
Lots of lovely things to see Cath but my favourite has to be the beautiful birthday card made with the stamp from the Stampman - I think if I recall that was a Kay Carley stamp - its gorgeous!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.... Gill xx
I love the word "scrapling", have not heard of it before, and I love the piece you made with the amusing person wearing the crown alongside the three little squares. Clever to have found washi tape with squares too, it's all just perfect for the "Squares" challenge. I like the second piece very much too and of course love the cards, they are just beautiful.
What beautiful cards Cath, the Stamp Man looks amazing with the white on Kraft - this has to be my favourite colour combination. Have a very happy weekend, Sue xx
Great cards Cath, the first is such fun!
Although it may not be 'proper' kraft, the ribbed card does give a nice texture.

Such gorgeous cards Cath. I love the one on the ribbed card especially, I think it is the blue against the background colour but then I do like the image too.
The one with the Stampman image is so 'you' as is the one with the wheat blowing in the wind - but then they al showcase your talent in so many ways. A beautiful array of cards again Cath.

I think you did a fabulous job of colouring on the ribbed card - it's a really pretty creation. Loved your other cards too. Thank you for joining us at Inkspirational Challenges.
