Flow Moon by Mirtillamente Digital Stamps for Little Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge #283 on the 2nd of August, 2026

Hi All!

Another busy weekend after a busy week in Melbourne. My son had Pedal Prix yesterday - an early start as we had to drive out to Tailem Bend. Then my husband was up early today for a trail run.

Anyway, welcome to my post about my card for challenge #283 on the 2nd of August 2026 for the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog.

Here is my card:

I chose Flow Moon, which I have digitally printed on to X-Press It Blending card and coloured with the following Copics markers:

• moon - C00, C0, C1, clear Wink of Stella

I finished with white gel pen for the stars. As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her fantastic monthly classes and bonus classes, including her new Technique Library Class - Daylight Sky.

Here is a close up of the colouring before I adhered it to the card:

I die cut the image with the largest of the Scalloped Squares Die from La-La Land Crafts. I coloured the image and then adhered it to a white square card from Envelope Solutions.

Prize is 2 digital images and opportunity to be a guest designer!

I chose Ready for Spring, which I have digitally printed on to X-Press It Blending card and then coloured with the following Copics markers:

• patina watering can - YR31, G00, B00, BG34, BG72, E95, E97, E99

I cut the coloured image with my paper cutter and then adhered it to a white square card from Envelope Solutions after I stamped the sentiment from a now discontinued stamp set called Bloomin' Wonderful by Power Poppy in Bahama Blue Memento ink with my MISTI.

I also added a pocket inside the card for a gift card and a sentiment card. I have used the Right Pocket Die from La-La Land Crafts, as well as the Rain Boot Die - both were die cut from Funky Fossil Organics by Dellow Designs which I picked up at a craft show from Natalie May Scrapbooking - an awesome craft shop near me!

I adhered the base of the rain boot to the boot using Art Glitter glue and then adhered the boot to the pocket, then I scored and adhered the pocket to the inside of the card.

For the sentiment card, I die cut a rectangle from green cardstock using one of the Rounded Stitched Rectangles Die, then I stamped a sentiment from another now discontinued stamp set called Good Thinking: Renewal also by Power Poppy in Vintage Sepia Versafine ink.

I tucked it into the pocket.

Here is a photo before being adhered to the card:

Here is a photo of the inside of the card:

Crazy Paw: Monkey from Mirtillamente Craft Shop for Colour Crazy Challenge on the 11th of March, 2022

At Colour Crazy Challenge for the 11th of March, 2022, we are sponsored by Mirtillamente Craft Shop.

Here is my card: I have taken a few photos outside in the late afternoon:

As I mentioned, the sponsor for this challenge is Mirtillamente Craft Shop. It is the first time that I have used an image from Evelin aka Mirtilla Libera Johnson. Her online store is a mix of steampunk, vintage and gothic.

I have digitally printed the image Crazy Paw: Monkey on to X-Press It Blending card and then coloured the image with the following Copics markers:

• monkey - E30, E31, E33, R20, C5, C7, C9
• banana - YR00, YR20, YG11, Y02, Y08
• branches - E25, E27
• leaves - G24, G05
• background sky - RV42, Y15, Y35, YR00
• outline - E27

I then die cut the image using a square die from KaiserCraft, which is no longer available. I adhered the coloured and die cut image to a square Kraft card from Envelope Solutions.

I then die cut some grass patches from green cardstock using Grass Patches die from La-La Land Crafts. I adhered those underneath the image and then stamped one of the sentiments from the July 2020 Club La-La Land Crafts kit using Rich Cocoa Memento ink and my MISTI.

As usual, I have drawn some inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her awesome Monthly Classes and Bonus Classes.

The inspiration for the sky came from Cristena who used to be part of the La-La Land Crafts DT.

Here is a close-up of the colouring before die cutting and after:
