Everything but the Kitchen Sink Final Challenge

Hello again.

I like to show you a birthday card. I made it for my friend which has her birthday next week. And also this card is for the final challenge by Everything by the Kitchen Sink (I would really miss this challenge) and for the birthday card challenge from Moxie Fab World.


I love the texture of this very simple card. The fine white embossing on the craft is so nice, like the fresh snow from my garden. That textile flower I cut it out with my new dies from Marianne Design, some very nice and really inexpensive dies. They work like charm.

A fine strip of glitter add some more texture to this gorgeous card.Have a nice and crafty day.

Some more roses

Hello!

For today I have a card for a dear friend, her birthday is tomorrow and this card it'll be in her present, too.

I used the color combo from Embellish Magazine Challenge, and I tried my best to get a vintage card.
I stamped the background with a light rust using a nice Hero Arts stamp, and after distressing with the same ink that paper panel, I stamped with music notes using antique linen distress ink. I love the result.

A nice Taft self made rose and some leafs and this is my card and it is also a perfect card for Just us Girls fabric flower challenge . I like it. A lot.

Have a nice day.

Those are the inspirations pictures.
My background is stamped with a nice green using my favourite stamps from PTI. I love these self made organza roses. And this card is for a dear friend. She loves roses, I hope she would like my roses too.

Have a nice day.

2 Sketches 4 You

Hello again.

I have one more card for today, and this is for 2 Sketches 4 You Challenge.

Here is my card with tons of stamping.

I start with a nice orange cardstock. First I use a lovely butterflies for Discover your Wings set from Taylor Expression and snow white ink. Then with tattered rose distress ink is stamped some text with my favourite stamp set from PTI - Text Style. And with versa mark some polka dots. After that I inked and distressed the front of the card with antique linen distress ink.
For those paper stripes I started with a vintage white card stock. I used broken china, tattered rose and eggplant alcohol ink to get that nice color. Then I stamped with chocolate ink the text style, and with broken china that Damask imagine. Then I distressed with tattered rose.

A sweet imagine from hero arts and that's my card. Hours later. ;-)

This card is also for Crafty Creations Challenge 89 - Show a number.

Have a nice day.

Grey.

Hello again.

I'm back again. Our Italy holiday was nice and a little bit relaxing (with 2 little kids you don't get to much rest). Now I'm just hopping to get more time for my hobby.

I made a card using Colour Q Challenge #52 (Congratulations ladies!) sketch but I forgot to use one of their color combos. I use this very not my color combo from the current challenge at Embellish Magazine. All he stamps (except the sentiment) are Hero Arts, this card is also for Caardvarks Challenge.



So, this is my card. I love that soft color combination, I would never make such a combination, but these colors look so grate together.

I must go now, but I'll come latter with some new cards.

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice and crafty day.

Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger

Hello.


Last night I had a nice inspiration and I have a card for Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger Challenge.

Cath has such a gorgeous and colorful pillow as inspiration for this week. Take a look and play too.
I love that mixture of color, and I try my best. This is my card:

I like the result. I stamped a piece of white cardstock with one of the nice motive from Guide Lines Two (PTI) with a lot of colors. Than I cut this in smaller pieces. To give a plus of dimension I used my Martha Stewart scoring board to add two lines, like a border for my panel. The stamped pieces where then adhere between these lines.
For my sentiment I used first white ink, but it was not bold enough, so I use some purple to stamp the sentiment one more time, not exactly overlapping the first one, and I got a nice bold and stripped sentiment. Fun, fun, funny.



I hope you like my card. Have a nice and creative day, too.

I have a nice card for Embellish Magazine Dimension Color Challenge.

I made a very simple card which I just love. Just take a look:


To add some more dimension, not only a pop the flower with 3-D pads, but I also use different texture for the paper. The blue one is a Core'dinations cardstock with a nice structure.
