Kitchen tea cards


Good day

I had a few request for some kitchen tea cards. These are a bit small than my usual 16x16 cards. Though I decided that irrespective of the size, the energy is the same. I only get a change to play with my small dies. In the first one I used paper from First edition leaf collection. Added a olive green lace and turquois pearls. Sentiment was computer generated. I used Di's digi's Bride.



Challenges I'm joining: 
Colour Crazy Craft Wk 42 - Anything goes






For my second card I used Serenity from Sheepski Design. I have coloured with Prisma Pencils and used paper from my Touch of Foil Stack from DCWV.

Challenges I'm joining 
The Outlawz Wednesday Sketch Challenge 16 October - 29 October
Cute Card Thursday #605 - Sparkles
Sheepski Facebook Challenge #41 - Anything goes or warm colours

The 3rd project I used some of my fvourite designer paper and is from W&M. These petite flowers in shades of pink and a dash of green leaves is just my favourite favourite. When my big sheets was finished I was quite upset and last year I found some 16x16 blocks and then I bought 2 of them. Sentiment is from Digistamp4Joy. I added some striped ribbon with the same colour coding in the back. 
Challenges I'm joining:

My last project was actually the first of the 4 I made. I used a dressmaker spellbinder die of which I have cut of the bottom part and added some voile. The designer paper is parchment paper from W&M.

Magic inside us




Good day

It is time for Catch the Bug's weekly challenge with my favourite bingo! and I have joined them once again as guest designer. This time I have played with a Harry Potter collage, I was searching for some real adventures paper that will go well with the image and for my son, who will celebrate his birthday next week. Then this piece popped up. I have coloured the image with Prisma pencils and added some bling with gel pens. I used the bottom row left to right.

Happy Fall Y'all at Catch the Bug



Good day

It is Saturday and I have the honour to play along at Catch the Bug as Guest Designer again. Out theme is Happy Fall Y'all. I love autumn colours, though we are in the beginning of Spring here in the Southern Hemisphere. Since end of autumn is also the start of the hunting season, I thought I'll use Gus Hunting. My papers is from my stash. I have also used some handmade paper that was made with wild animal dung. I bought it some years ago at a local paper shop. Image was coloured with Prisma pencils.

Challenges I used as inspiration:
The Sisterhood of Crafters - A "wood related" theme autumn
Incy Wincy 7-19 Oct - Autumn colours
Crafty Calender October - Autumn/Halloween

Hope you'll come and join us at Catch the Bug with your fall creations!

Creative moments




Good day

There is not much time left in this year. Can't believe we are in October. It is the 7th today and it is time for a new challenge at Creative Moments the theme is make something Spooky. This time around we are sponsored by Creative Bug. I choice "Twiggs", since I do not do spooky or Halloween. I decided to challenge myself for a one layered card and to player with some watercolours. I used some wet embossing on the snow flakes and some glitter on the snow, though that is not quite visible.

Hope you will come and join us.

A chirpi autumn





Good day

When I saw the orange challenge at Double D, my eyes saw this image on my desk and it said it wanted to be coloured in orange. I think the biggest challenge was her hair, luckily you do get ginger heads as well. The gingham is from Sunny Studio and the rose vellum from my stash. I've coloured the image with Prisma pencils and the sentiment was embossed with some glittered powder. Some sequinces add the final touch with a glittered flower.
