The Pick 3 Challenge - March/April 2026

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Friday! It's the 20th of the month and time for a new challenge at The Pick 3 Challenge Blog, where you're given 6 elements and you create something using at least 3 of those elements.  The element list for this month is:


For my design team project, I've chosen the Wings, Stripes and Slimline elements for my card.  In my stash I found Dragonfly 3-D die cuts, and I've used the Watercolor Stripes Stencil and Distress Oxide inks for the stripes.


Before adhering the Dragonflies on the stenciled panel, I've splattered with black Posca Pen and let dry thoroughly.  The sentiment is from the "Small Talk" Sticker pack by Tim Holtz idea-ology, and it's been adhered directly to the panel.  


The team and I hope you'll pop over to the Pick 3 Challenge and play along.  We love seeing what elements everyone has chosen and how they've used them.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Beautiful Lily

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!  Today I have a quick share for you, it's the Beautiful Lily Stamp Set from an Altenew/Simon Says Stamp Collab.  This set may have been part of the Stamptember 2022 release, I cannot remember.  It's my first time using it so if you know, please comment below :)


I'm loving the Pantone Color of the Year for 2023 - Viva Magenta and I thought I had it for this floral image but it turned out more pink than magenta.  Oh well, let's roll with it!

To start, I stamped the image and colored with my Prismacolor Pencils.  This set has a matching die and I used it to cut the image.  I then prepared the background panel using the Altenew Watercolor Stripes 6x6 Stencil.  


I did a bit of splattering, mounted the die cut image on craft foam and trimmed the sentiment; this sentiment is part of the Beautiful Lily stamp set.  Lastly, I've added clear sequins for a finishing touch.  

I plan to post this card to my dear friend in the UK for Galentine's Day.  I truly treasure our friendship, even though we've never met in person.  We also speak about meeting up in person some say, I would love to make that happen.

That's all for today friends, until next time - Happy Crafting!
