Autumn Colours

Good day

It is Wednesday and it is time for another challenge at Creative Moments. With fall in the Northern Hemisphere it can only mean we have to play with fall colours. I was privilege to be sponsored by Digistamp4Joy and got this Aloe image. I duplicate it and coloured it with my Prisma Pencils. The designer paper is from BoBunny's Dreams of autumn collection. Is is the first time I have used the windmill die cut from Creative Talents. All the other papers are bits and piece.
This is a common scene in South Africa, since it is not a very water rich country. And aloe can be planted in the gardens or they just grow wild in nature. 

Challenges I'm joining:
The Sisterhood of Crafters: Autumn colours
Cheerful Sketches - September (2nd entry)
Digistamp4Joy - Spetember flower frenzy
The Male Room #95 - The great outdoors
The Outlawz Twisted Thursday - In the Garden
Crafty Friends #93 - Autumn Colours

Hope to see you in all the splendor of autumn at Creative Moments.
Hugs from Africa!

Tag along with Creative Moments

Good day

Can not believe three weeks have gone bye since our last challenge at Creative Moments. We had some fabulous entries. This time we were challenged to make some tags. We have some lovely sponsors again. I had the privileged to have an images from Rick St Denis and its called Queen of hearts hat. She needed to be red with the hearts and I had some scrapbook paper for quite a while that was screaming to be used. I used a Marianne's design heart emboss folder on the black and the die on the tag. I made a smaller version of the image to add on the tag. Thought this would be nice for somebody that loves to read.

Challenges I took inspiration from:
Cheerful Sketches - September challenge
Southern Girls - Tags
Unicorn Challenge #36 - Add charm
Creative Craft Cottage #111 - Ribbon and or lace
The Paper Shelter #353 - Embossing of any kind
Crafty Friends Challenge #92 - Wet/dry embossing

Hope you challenge yourself to make some wonderful tags, especially with Christmas around the corner and join Creative Moments.
Hugs from Africa!

Some inspiration

Good day

It has been such a long time since I have played with a Digistamp4Joy image. But with Spring knocking on our doors this image(JA7-DS4J) was just the thing to use. I made this card for a friend of ours that has been diagnosed with lung cancer and it is more for encouraging. The sentiment I took from Desert Diva. She has a lot of sentiments to choose from.  I have experimented with textured card stock this time around and coloured the image with Prisma pencils. Papers are from my stash.

Challenges I'm joining:

Digistam4Joy - September - Flower Frenzy

Colour Crazy Craft #36 - Anything goes

Spring is here

Good day

 It is the 1st of September and there is a new vibe in the air....here the birds have started to sing early in the morning and new fresh leaves have giving us a lift in spirit. Always good to have a new season on hands. In blogland there is also a change of scenery, though a bit more to autumn than spring. Since I'm building on girly cards again with a few 16 birthdays on hand, I played with the Paper Shelter's Spring Attitude. The designer paper is from First Edition's Hide Away, gingham paper for the border, from Sunny Studio and I coloured the image with Prisma pencils. Used some washi tape/ribbon with an Afrikaans sentiment from Purple Magnolia and Crealies dies.

Challenges I took inspiration from:
Tuesday Morning Sketches #468
Moving Along With Times #79 - Gingham and / or with button
Aud Sentiment #211 - Bingo + Sentiment - Die cut, Stitch, ribbon
Crafting with Dragonflies #112 - Spring has sprung
