Doreen - For my card I have masked off the negative of a large die-cut circle and coloured inside with Phthalo Bue and Chromium Oxide Green. I then sprayed with cheap hairspray before stamping my image and sentiment. Next I matted onto some black card before sticking it to my card blank.xxx

Yvonne - I'm loving this Clean and Simple Challenge.  Not my normal style but loving how effective and quick it all comes together.  Would love it if you could pop over to my blog for the full details.

Lou: I have used the Premium Craft Brand stamps again, (Postcard set) to create my card. I created the background first using my metallic pan pastels and layered on a vellum sentiment. This was finished with a butterfly coloured with my gold glitter ShakeIt pen.

And now on to this weeks inspiration from the DT

Terry Hiya guys I had fun making the Floral inspiration card, used lots of floral papers, PanPastels to color the hearts and rose at the bottom. Worked with swirls, Honeycomb and hearts from Dutch Doobadoo to spice up my Vintage Floral Card.

Claire C I've made a little wall hanging using a  canvas board and lots of goodies from Premium Craft Brands

I've used Maimeri Light Modelling Paste through a gorgeous Dutch Doobadoo Stencil for the background adding colour with Hansa Yellow and Diarylide Yellow Tint PanPastels. I sealed the colour with Maimeri Matte Medium and sprinkled on some glitter while it was wet. The flowers are made from fabric and Maimeri Iridescent paste sprinkled with more glitter, I've done a tutorial on my blog if you fancy making some. I've also used some of the fabby new stamps that Nikky has designed for Premium Craft Brands and Dutch Doobadoo Laser cut swirls and buttons

Lou: I have used the new PCB stamp range to create my floral montage. All the images have been coloured with Magenta and Bright Yellow Green shade pan pastels. The butterflies are from Dutch Doobadoo laser art range coloured with black ink and then embossed. I have even created my own raised mini dots by adding metallic gold pan pastel to cosmic shimmer glue!
