XOXO birthday card

Hello!
 
This time I share a card I made for my 'crafty challenge calendar'. You can find more info about the challenge from my earlier post here.

I made this card for my hubby who had his birthday this month. Firstly I stamped the mouth with a Visible Image stamp and added glossy accents all over the lips part. When the lips were dry I stenciled the background with Distress Ink and Carabelle Studio stencil and stamped XO's here and there. Then I just taped my creation over a black card base.

XOXO

Sympathy card

Hi!

Simple sympathy card this time. 
 
I used a beautiful silhouette landscape digi image by Beccy's Place and coloured it with Distress Inks. Then I just added blue background paper and some silver outline stickers and the sentiment. Size of the card is about 30cm x 21cm.

Christmas tea card/gift

Hi!

It's time for a new Polkadoodles Craft challenge, come and join us here 😊

I got an idea of a Christmas tea cup card/gift combination. 
 
I used the background paper, cute penguin and sentiment from Winnie White Christmas big kahuna and a cup from Cactus Cup (I just cut the cactus part away). I coloured the cup with Distress Inks and a metallic gold brush pen. The penguin is precoloured but I added a little more colour to it with alcohol markers. The sentiment part is also coloured with Distress Inks and then taped over a tea bag. 
 
After everything was coloured I taped the cup to the background so that the tea bag fits there perfectly and comes out when you pull the tea bag string upwards. Great card/little gift for a tea lover 😊

Happy Ghosts

 Hello!
 
It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time the theme is "3 of something".

I decided to use this fun Ghostly Giggles Gang image.

I used Carabelle Studio stencil to create the background. Firstly I coloured the outside parts of the ghosts and then I added some lighter colours to the ghosts to make them look transparent. The sky and the grass are coloured with Distress Inks and the black/grey parts (castle etc.) with Copics.

Lastly I stamped Happy Halloween sentiment with a PaperArtsy stamp.

Halloween witch

Hello!

Here's another card I made with the stuff from my Craft Calendar bag 1. You can find more info about my crafty challenge from my earlier post here.

I think this beautiful lady goes well with Halloween themed card so I chose to use it with the bat stencil.
 



I coloured the Lady and the bottles with Derwent Inktense pencils. The background I've made earlier (with sprays) and just added the bats with stencil and black gesso. I also added some glitter spray that unfortunately doesn't show in the picture. The bottles and the poem are stamped with PaperArtsy stamps.




Contents of the bag 1:
-  Katherine stamp by Prima Marketing
- Another beautiful lady stamp (used on this card) (if you recognise the manufacturer, please let me know)
- Background stamp by Carabelle Studio
- Embossing folder by Creative Expressions
- Stencil by Carta Bella (used on this card)
- Dies by Brutus Monroe

Sympathy card with dragonflies

Hi!

Here's a sympathy card I made. Here in Finland the sympathy cards are usually size A4 (21cm x 30cm) and so is this one.

The center image is from Pattie's Creations.


 
I coloured the background of the digi image with Distress Inks and the dragonflies, reeds and the frame with alcohol markers. I also added some glossy accents over the dragonfly wings.

Trick or treat decoration

Hi!

It's time for a new Polkadoodles Craft challenge, come and join us here 😊
 
 This time I created these cute Halloween decorations (or they can also be used as a gift tag). I printed the center pieces from Halloween Trick or Treat Word Art and cut them with Posydoodles Circles die

I also printed a couple papers from Halloween Trick or Treat papers bundle 1 and used the rosette technique on them. The center pieces are glued with a hot glue so that they really stay in place. Lastly I added satin ribbons so you can hang them where you want. 
 
These were fun and quite easy to do when you got familiar with the technique 😊

Elegant pink lady

 Hello!
 
It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time the theme is "Add flowers".

This time I used this beautiful Elegant Era Muse image and coloured her with alcohol markers. The background flowers I made with Carabelle Studio stencil and Izink Ice translucent paint (and stamped the mini sun on the center of them). Lastly I die cut the text and flowers, added the satin ribbon and taped the image with foam tape to create some dimension.
