You are...

Good Day

I'm sliding in on a banana skin with the dynamic duo challenge, but I just had to create this card and when it was finished the batteries gave notice so I had to recharge it a bit before I could carry on. I've used a pearl scent brazzille cardstock as base with some embossing on the edge, though it is not that visible. The image is from Bugaboo and I've decided I had to add these rose, though it is a bit lighter in shade than the required artichoke. I've kept is a bit clean since it is a condolence card.

Celebrating spring with song

Digistamp4Joy Challenge #50 inspirational photo

The Outlawz Tuesday colour combo

Good Morning

Today there is a chill in the air, just to remind us that winter does not yet said a final goodbye. Though everything have greeted spring with abundance, especially after last week's rain. For today's project I have used a rubberstamp that I had for ages now, but Digistamp4Joy have the rights to the digital images lately, which makes it much more convenient. I've coloured it with H2O and used a white gelpen and a black fineliner for the centres. I have torn some mulberry paper and used a music Cuttlebug emboss template for the blue. For a change I made a hexagon card and it is only 11x13cm. The twist on this week's colour challenge is to add brads.

Peeking in.....

Good evening

After I had this list of to do things made up this morning, my husband decided I have enough time to do the half of his to do list too. Finally my crafting time was much less than anticipated. Late this afternoon I finally had time to finish my project. I wanted to do this giraffe but just did not know how, until Mojo Monday introduced their sketch on Monday. This is a giraffe from Shelley's images. I've deliberately make him outside the diecut to make him look peeking in, from there my sentiment: Peeking in to say.... The giraffe paper is from my stash and I used spellbinders for the leaves. The tic tac ribbon is from my stash and just blended in.

CAS will it be

Good Day

One out of my comfort zone.....Firstly to do a clean and simple card and secondly for making a card without any stamps or digital image, is also not quite my style. I had this emboss plus template from Cuttlebug for quite a time and a sample is lying on my table, I was just not sure on how to put it together until I have found this sketch. The polka dot red is from the back - to - school collection from DCWV. I've used 2 different diecuts and used the same centre of the emboss template in the circle and used a peel-off sentiment saying best wishes.

Viva Italia

Hallo

I've made this card for a friend whom celebrate her birthday soon. She loves red and green. Amazingly how you sometimes do not have the one thing like broad green ribbon. In the end I've done two rows of ribbon. The red corners is peel-off from my stash. The digi is from Joanna Sheen's Pamela West series. I've used a fineliner in green and red for the border line and the frame is done with spellbinders's beaded oval with textured paper. The sentiment: Happy Birthday is also a peel-off.

Good Afternoon
Thought it is still chilly, the rain has stopped. But now you can hear how everything is growing. I'm very thankful for this early spring rain. This is a freebie from Saturated Canary. I've used CR84FN's colour combo and the peach ribbon which I had in mind for a previous project. The paper and roses are from my stash;

Dance of life

Good Day

We have such cold and wet weather, almost like on the under left photo, that I used the time to catch up on crafting. The colour combo from Play Date Café reminded me of a piece of voile ribbon in my stash, though it ended up not been used. The light is very poor, so included 2 photos to show the detail. The paper is from First Edition Daydream collection. The digi is from Whoopsi Daisy and is called dance 5. Such a cutie. The sentiment I've found on Facebook and if I translate it, it says: "When you  open yourself to receive with joy, you become part of the dance of life."
