Believe





Good day

Today I just played a bit. Since I have been in the mood of making gift bags, I just continued. I think a personalised gift bag is so special. I started of with the idea of white and iceblue.When we used to have Christmas at our house, I would choose a colour for my table and then I would do even my cards in that colour. So I popped in our local stationary shop and found this mint green and silver paper from Krafty King and I changed my mind immediately. I stayed with my favourite white in different tones. The image from The Paper Shelter is Heavenly Christmas Carol. Though the snow is not quite our Christmas scene her in the Southern Hemisphere. I have coloured it with my Prisma Pencils. I added some glitter and Pearl Accent. Snowflake confetti and rhinestones were my final touch. Dies are from Creative Expressions. 

Challenges I'm joining:
Daring Cardmakers - Boxes and bags
Cut it Up #214 - Christmas
Crafty Catz #529 - Anything goes with optional twist of it is cold outside
The Paper Shelter #451 - A Christmas Card

Oldie but Goodie project

Back of gift bag

Front of gift bag





 Good day

First of all I want to wish everybody that celebrate Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving. Hope these are special times shard with family!

It is Thursday and time to share another oldie image from Jodie from Bugaboo. I was asked to make another gift bag for a baby shower and I have to use the same image - Bobblehead Animal Greetings - as before. It makes it so much easier if you have a head start. I used some beautiful soft mint green paper from my stash. I added some pink and blue that is featured in the flowers. I made a string for the fairy charm with some beads and attached it to the ribbon bow. On the front I used Night Sky ink from Versamagic and blended it a bit into the paper. I just could not make up my mind whether I liked it or not, so I did not do it on the back side too. Image was coloured with Prisma pencils.

I used the following challenges as inspiration:
Cheerful Sketches - November Sketch
Use Your Stuff #410 - Tic Tac Toe - Sketch, Brad/Bling (Glitter on bow of elephant) & pearl brad on bow on backside, Design paper
The Outlawz Tuesday Colour Challenge 17-30 November - Left top to bottom
The Outlawz Crash your Stash November/December - Charms

Thank you and visit Bugaboo with some lovely inspiration from the DT with some of the older images of Bugaboo!

Growing old together







 Good day

Finally I have finished this wedding card. Luckily it will go to the same bride and groom, their wedding has been postponed from June to November due to COVID. Their wedding colours is blue, white and silver and it just worked well with a few challenges I'm joining today. The image is from Sheepski Design and I have coloured it with Prisma Pencils and added some glitter on the mushroom. I used White glitter cardstock for the Heart die from MArianne Design. Though with the current light it just don't show. Silver cardstock was used for the heart embossing and the sentiment heart. Final touch was some rhinestone hearts in silver and some peel-off border.

Challenges I'm joining:
Color My Heart Color dare #417 - Recipe 1 metal (silver) + 1 neutral (white) + 1 color (blue)
Sheepski Design #44 - Christmas and or sparkle ( I opted for the sparkle)
