New experience

Good day

This is an image, from Alicia Bel, that traveled, I have coloured it about a year ago and it just never ended up finished. We have moved in the beginning of December 2023 and since then we were busy with renovations. 

Well today, was a good day, since it got fixed to a card. I played with bits and pieces of stash. Even the sentiment was printed a year ago. I used a cloud emboss folder under the airplane and on the edge next to sentiment.

Challenges I took inspiration of:

 Good day

Today is the start of a brand new progressive challenge on Facebook in the Moondrea group. This beauty's name is Anemone Maiden. When I laid my eye on her, the flowers stood out for me and I just wanted to colour them in yellow. Later on I realized that anemones are normally in hues of pink and purple. With a few challenges with a summer theme I found these lovely paper stack in my stash and it just blended in with all the rest. I used a cut and emboss folder from hallmark with these lovely butterflies. Added some liquid pearl and a butterfly brad.

I used Coffee Break from The Paper Shelter for this card and used paper from Lemon craft's Fresh Summer as a base and then added scraps. This is for a friend of mine who will start her prelims for her last school exam in a weeks time.

For my MIL

Good day

This is a bit of belated post, since I made this for my MIL who turned 81. The inspiration photo just suited her in the soft pinks and fragility of the butterflies and flowers. I used Just a Note image from All Dressed up and coloured it with Prisma pencils. Used some ink and embossing powder on the edge. With a final touch of pearls and ribbon. 

Challenges I took inspiration from:

Christmas in July tag

 Good day

I took some time to play with this lovely Candy elf from Alicia Bel. This time I played with some non traditional colours, since red, white and blue (ocean depth blue in this case) is not necessarily associated with Christmas. I used different dies  and coloured the image with Prisma pencils. Rediscovered my glitter and added some white on the hat and  some confetti stars. Then a tag needs some twine and I have found this raffia twine in red, white and blue. 

Challenges I'm joining:

Colourful options - Red, white and blue

Crafter's cafe #299 - Christmas in July

Double D - Christmas in July

Creative Knockouts #499 - Christmas in July

Guest designer at Penny's Paper-crafty

 Good day

We are currently experiencing a love mild winter's day here in the north of Southern Africa! Though I do appreciate it. We even went camping last weekend with my boys. They have a winter break currently.

Well I have accepted the invitation to be a guest designer for Penny's Paper-Crafty and I used one of the sponsors' image. It is called Popsicle from All Dressed Up. I have these lovely popsicle papers in my stash and I added some plain paper with it to give it a bit of ocean feeling since this lovely lady looks as if she is on her way to the beach with her carry bag with a magazine, towel and spade. I just love designer paper and to combine it with plain is the best combo for me. As final touch I added some rhinestones.

Challenges I'm joining:

As you like it challenge - Plain or designer paper

Incy Wincy - July - Food or drink

Allsort Wk735 - Summer time 

All Dressed Up Facebook - Anything goes
