CAS Christmas tree card

Hi!

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

I wanted to create something clean and quite simple. I used Deck the Halls stamp set and stamped the frame and the tree on the watercolour paper. Then I coloured them with metallic watercolours. Lastly I stamped the Joy text with embossing ink and added gold embossing powder. Pretty joyous card, don't you think 😊

Blue birthday card

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time the theme is "Make it sparkle".

I used the image Cozy Cuddle and coloured it with alcohol markers. I also added some shine to the dress with a Wink of Stella glitter brush pen (unfortunately it doesn't show in the pic).

I coloured the background paper with Distress Ink and then used a stencil and blue glitter paste to create the hearts. I also added some glitter to the flowers.

So there is a lot of sparkle in this card even though it doesn't show very well on these pics 😊

IT inspired atc

Happy Thursday!

This time I share my IT movie/book inspired atc 🎈 And a card I made to send with it.

I made the atc to Visible Image atc swap and I used Stay Weird and Create It stamp sets.

I added glossy accents over the balloon and when it was dry I also added a black string before taping it to the atc base.

On the card I wanted to play with the same products and black/red colours, not so much the IT theme.

Hocus Pocus

Hi!

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

I used Isadora Witch image and coloured her with alcohol markers (and some white gel pen) before fussy cutting her.

Then I cut the crystal ball with the Snow Globe die and coloured it with Distress Inks and white gel pen. I also used Starry Nights stencil with gold glitter paste to bring some more magical feeling. The base of the crystal ball is die cut from black cardstock and I added some white details with white gel pen and white paint pen.

When the crystall ball was ready I taped Isadora on it with foam tape and added a Hocus Pocus sentiment from Boo Halloween Sentiment bundle.

New baby card

Hello!

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time the theme is "All Creatures Great and Small".

I used this adorable The Best Day of my Life image and coloured it with Copics. I decided to use pastel colours for a change.

The background paper is from an old Polkadoodles paper pack. I added some WOW! embossing powder to circle die cut (by Joy Crafts) under the dragon and BABY alphabets (by Creativ Company) before taping them and the dragon image over the background paper. Lastly I added some flowers I cut with TLC Designs dies.

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.
