Pool Mosaic - hello

Hi there!

I've had the idea for today's card for a while now, and when I saw the cue card at Casology yesterday, I knew the opportunity arrived !

... and ...

It's another card made with colored card stock scraps !

My card is inspired by the beautiful blue mosaic tiles found in most swimming pools. I just love the effect of the glossy accents. Just amazing how many designs are possible with simple shapes. I've cut my squares with my Silhouette cameo, but this can easily be created using a square punch or small die... and if you're really patient, you can cut squares with a craft knife and ruler !

I used the grid (see last photo) to get perfect placement of my 'tiles'.








 I used :


  • Squares cut out of 4 different shades of blue card stock
  • Vellum
  • Glossy accents
  • Silhouette cameo
  • Hello sentiment cutting file from Love svg
  • Foam squares

Challenge detail:

Thanks for visiting me today and thank you Casology for the inspiration!

Home is where the heart is

Hi there!

During this difficult time of Covid 19 I am so much more aware of how blessed we are to have a house where can be safe against the virus. A house filled with everything we need... especially filled with love. Even though this is a home away from our home country, I am so thankful !

So today's card celebrates my thankfulness :








I used :


  • Altenew : Ditsy-print-stamp-set
  • Heart and house cut with my Silhouette cameo
  • Flowers colored with Promarkers
  • Stripes drawn freehand also with Promarkers
  • Misti
  • Rhinestones
  • Foam squares for dimension

My card was inspired by :
