Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop - October 2025 - Fall Fun

Wednesday, 8 October 2025

Today I'm sharing a card in the Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop. Our theme this month is "Fall Fun". It was fun to colour the leaves using my ink pads and Sponge Daubers! Love how they turned out!

It's that time of the year when the leaves are changing colours. Sponge daubers can be used to add colours to inked up stamps to add different colours. So fun - often I don't know what I'll end out for colours - it's a surprise!

Check out this pretty card that features the Gathering Moments Suite. Don't you love that Designer Series Paper!
