Special couple



Good day

After almost a week I finally finished another wedding card. This time I played with some glitter white card stock. The first time I used this background die. The image is from Sheepski and I coloured it with Prisma pencils. The ribbon sliders I had to colour with a permanent marker to make it black. I used green as my +1 since the wedding that we are going to is a green & white wedding.

Challenges I took inspiration from:
Incy Wincy 18 -30 November - Black & White +1
Feeling Sketchy #229
Crash your Stash - Ribbon Sliders
Sheepski Facebook #42 - Twist glitter & sparkle
The Outlawz Festive Fridays 15 - 28 November - Weddings
Crafty Cardmakers #246 - No Patterned paper

Thank you and have a perfect day!

Hedgehog wishes



Good day

My first post as designer at Creations in Pink, which is a monthly challenge with an anything goes theme in mainly pink. I made this card for my friend's birthday. She was quite facinated by hedgehog stamps when we went shopping, so I digged out my polymer stamp from Penny Black called Hugs, which I coloured with Prisma pencils. I used my new Kaiser Kraft window die and paper from Lady Pattern Paper's Twinkle Toes.

Challenges I took inspiration from:
Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 - November
Craft Rocket Challenge #65 - Happy Birthday
Crafty Calender November - Cute & Girly
A Perfect time to Craft - November Anything goes

Hope to see you at Creations in Pink

Catch the Bug Thursday Oldie but Goodie




Good day

I have accepted the invitation to stay on Catch the Bug's design team of which I am very honoured to be part of. We had a project of supporting people in our drought stricken Karoo, they are suffering a six year drought now, and I wanted to add this special card in my packet. I hope the receiver will have a little upliftment in hope when she receives it. I used paper from Lady K Patterned paper twinkle toes. Ribbon and button from my stash and image was coloured with Prisma pencils.

Challenges I took inspiration from:
Gem of a Craft Challenge Wk22 - Anything goes
Feeling Sketchy #228
The Outlawz Twisted Thursday 7 - 13 November - pleated ribbon
Creative Craft Cottage #124 - Ribbon and or buttons

Thank you and have a fantastic day!

Celebrating love







Good day

It is the 7th of a new month and that means we have a new challenge at Creative Moments. One of our sponsors is Sheepski Designs and it is one of my favourite artist. I used Just Married. I know most people are preparing for winter or had their first taste of winter 2019 and that brings the feeling of Christmas too. But here in the Southern tip of Africa we have summer and it is also time for weddings. We also have a wedding in December. My childrens' very first real wedding. I used paper from W&M and Spring Farm House from Prima Marketing inc. Dies used is from Marianne Design and Spellbinder. I used some ink on the edges for a more vintage look and for the die cuts to be a bit more visible. Image was coloured with Prisma Pencils. As final touch I added a heart pin with 2 flowers and voile ribbon.

Challenges I'm joining:
Sheepski Facebook Challenge #41 - Warm colours
Sweet Stampin - Celebrations
The Outlawz Colour Challenge 5 - 18 November 
Double D - Neutral Fall Colours
Cheerful Sketches - November
Cute Card Thursday #607 - Anything goes

Hope to see you at Creative Moments with all your lovely creations!
