New challenge at Creative Moments





Good day 

It is time for the last challenge for the year at Creative Moments. Since we are in the spirit of Christmas or winter, you can use that inspiration for our challenge. Beccy from Beccy's place is our sponsor and I have the privilege to play with Emu parade. It just suited our Southern Hemisphere kind of Christmas in the middle of our summer holidays. I also use her December challenge board to create my card. I used the middle row left to right - Colour with pencils, digital image, add some sparkle. I used some ribbon with sparkle and some shimmer board behind my image for the sparkle and I have coloured the image with my Prism Pencils. Papers from my stash and the sentiment is part of the package.

Challenges I'm joining: 
Beccy's Place - December
Cheerful Sketches - December sketch 
Incy Wincy - Christmas
Morgan's Art world - Anything goes

Hope you will come and join us at Creative Moments!
Hugs from Africa!

One last Christmas card


Good day

I give away to Alicia Bel for one last Christmas card for this year. I used Elf with gift and I colured her with my Prisma pencils. I used a Celebrate 8 stencil for the background in silver with some glitter heat embossing. Added some rhinestones and liquid pearl  with a silver star. The french peel-off sentiment says Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Challenges I'm joining:
Stencil Fun Challenge - December fun
Colour Crazy Challenge - Anything goes
Crafty Catz #618 - Anything Goes

Thank you and have a blessed Festive Season!
Hugs from Africa!

December Sketches at SSW 2

Good day




Kathie have created 2 new sketches at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. I just had a fun time creating with them too. For the first one I created a birthday card for a friend of mine who celebrate her birthday on the 28th of December. She just love the soft teal colour. I used a stamp that I have bought in September and a few different dies. Added 2 dragonfly diecuts with some pearls as finishing touch.

Challenges I'm joining:
Crafter's cafe - Use dies and or punches
Crafty Calendar - Anything goes




Image from Sheepski Design called Garden Party




For the second one I took especially inspiration from the mood board of Colourful options, since white on white is just one of my all time favourite challenges, though today I played with white on white with a dash of colour. Since purple is my colour choice for this Christmas I used it on the gnomes' hats - image from Sheepski design called garden party. I'm a bit disappointed since the clear emboss pen did not change colour with the heat embossing on the brim of the hats. I think I used a different emboss powder in the past. I added some pearl accent on the beards. For the holly leaves, in the corner, I used a Fiskar emboss corner template. Added an Afrikaans peel-off sticker for the sentiment and some pearls. 

Challenges I'm joining:
2 Sisters on the blog #69 - Christmas with holly leaves
Allsorts #705 - Christmas
Colourful options - Inspiration board
Creative Knockouts #481 - Winter wonderland
Sheepski design challenge #69 - This is the season

Hope you will come and join us at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.
