With all my heart

Happy Wednesday!

 

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time our challenge theme is "Colours of love". And of course you can also go with "Anything goes" option.

 

I used With All My Heart image and coloured it with alcohol markers. To the background I added some hearts and otherwise kept the card quite simple. Maybe I will add some embellishments later but when I was doing this nothing seemed to work the way I wanted - so simple we go 😊

A-moose-ing birthday

Hello!

 

Something a-moose-ing this time 😀

 

My friend needed a fun birthday card for a hunter. I didn't have any suitable stamps so I drew the moose myself. It's coloured with alcohol markers.

 

The background I made with stencil and Distress inks. The sign is also coloured with alcohol markers and the text I made with a word punch board and added a black cardstock under it. The sign says something like "Wishing you a-moose-ing birthday".

 

I'm quite happy with this, especially because I haven't drawn much. I've meant to practise drawing for a while now and this was a perfect opportunity to do it 😊

• Moose image by MeSi

New baby shaker card

Hello!

 

 This time I'm sharing a shaker card I made for a new baby. 

 

 I just love this cute sleeping dragon (by Whimsy Stamps) so I had to use it on this card 😊 I coloured it with alcohol markers and added some Wink of Stella glitter here and there (doesn't show very well in the pics).

 

I die cut a frame from patterned paper and added some "lace" around it. Then I added acetate sheet and foam tape, added some confetti and taped it to the base. I also did the handle part and taped it to the shaker part. Lastly I added some gift ribbon and a flower.

 

 

Products used:  

• Whimsy Stamps - Dreamy Dragon stamp
• Tsukineko - Memento tuxedo black
• Copics & Promarkers
• Crealies - Circle XXL dies
• Polkadoodles - Pretty Flower Flourish dies

Fun winter card

Happy Wednesday!

 

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time we  would like you to take inspiration from the mood board below.

 

 

I made this fun winter themed card. I used the image Whole Lotta Snow! and coloured it with alcohol markers (yes, I finally bought a new printer, yay!). I used a little lighter colours than I usually do because I wanted to follow the delicate colours of the mood board (but did not quite succeed 😁). Then I stamped some snowflakes and sentiment on the background. I also added some glitter glue on the sentiment.

Happy Wednesday!

 

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time our theme is "Light my fire". So anything related to light, fire, flames etc goes. You can also use the "Anything goes" option.

 

 I still haven't had time to hunt for a new printer so I made a digital card again. This time I used The Sun's In My Heart pre-coloured image and turned it to night scene with a text editor program.

Digital Halloween card 3

Happy Wednesday!

 

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time our theme is "Halloween - Not Halloween colours". And of course there is always the "Anything goes" option to use.

 

 I haven't had time to hunt for a new printer so I made a digital card again. I used Enchanting Witch image and did some magic with photo editor & text editor programs to create this Halloween card. It was fun to try some new things but I think I still prefer crafting with a physical stuff 😊

Happy Wednesday!

 

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time our theme is "Ghostly vellum". So we would like to see some vellum on your card 😊 And of course there is always the "Anything goes" option to use.

I haven't had time to hunt for a new printer so I made a digital card again. I used precoloured Witch's Ghostly Adventure image and Fancy Dinner background. I changed part of the ghost to be transparent and added some shadows. The sentiments are from Polkadoodles.

Happy Wednesday!
