New Challenge at AAA Birthday!

Hello friends!

I'm here with a new challenge for AAA Birthday where we are looking for your embossed birthday cards in December. I chose dry embossing in my card and used an Altenew embossing folder. I colored the embossed image using Copic markers and Altenew colored pencils. The sentiment is simply stamped with a sentiment from my stash -no idea of the maker! :) 

This is sadly my last challenge as a DT member at AAA Birthday but the challenge continues with fabulous new topics again at 2023! I hope to see you playing along! Happy crafting. xx

 

New Challenge at Time Out!

Hello friends!

At Time Out we have the last challenge of 2023 for you, an easy and fun Winter/Holiday-theme!

We are proud to be sponsored by Newton's Nook. The are offering a whopping $25 coupon to our winner! Please head on over to our challenge blog for all the challenge details and more DT inspiration. Our guest designer this time is Sue and she has made a very cute CAS card for your inspiration. Don't miss it!

My card is one of the cards I made during Hero Arts Stamp Along a couple of weeks ago. The critters are Copic colored. The background is stenciled with pastes -unfortunately the glitter paste for snow doesn't show too well in the photo! Stamps, dies and stencil all by Hero Arts. Tiny heart die cuts are from my stash, no idea of their origin lol! 

This challenge is sort of bitter sweet because we are saying goodbye to four long time DT members. 

Jill

 Joyce

 Kim

Shauna

They will all be very much missed... but luckily we are all friends by now and will surely keep in touch in the future too. I hope to see their work in blogland and IG in the future too because they are all simply stellar crafters. Thank you Jill, Joyce, Shauna and Kim!

So, now it's your turn to take Time Out and craft. I look forward seeing what you'll create. Happy crafting! 

 

New Challenge at AAA Birthday!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for AAA Birthday Card Challenges where our theme for November is Monochrome. 

I chose to work with shades of blue in my card and came up with a CAS design with feather dies from Gina K as focal point. I even went with a blue sentiment in stead of a black one to stay even more true to my monochrome blue palette! I've used distress inks for creating a little ombre panel where I die cut the feather... And then I also die cut it from navy card stock... And inlaid the ombre pieces.

New Challenge at Time Out!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for Time Out Challenges where we for the next fortnight are inspired by these words:

Our DT has made stunning samples for you and is giving you lots of different ideas, please head on over to our challenge blog for all the challenge details and lots of inspiration. Our GD this time is Heather, she has created a beautiful scene in her stunning card. 

In my card I concentrated on the "formidable", which is something huge or large as love -so I was told because the word is new to me lol! I decided to go with mountains and trees! :) The mountains are stenciled with a stencil cut with a Picket Fence slimline scene building mountains die and the trees and branches are by Penny Black. I struggle with cards like this and although this one has a lot that I like, it's also a bit of a mess! :) I used Stickles to highlight the mountains and white paint for "snow" for the branches and trees. All inking is done with distress inks, the sky turned out pretty I think! 

Thank you for popping by and I hope to see you joining us!  

 

New Challenge at Time Out!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for the new challenge at Time Out where we challenge you to be Thankful!

We are happy to be sponsored by Lawn Fawn! In addition to sponsor prize our winner also gets called to guest design in a future challenge. This time our GD is Deepti A, one of our regular players and a super card maker! Don's miss her card, challenge details or any DT inspiration, click HERE.

In my card I've used a Thank You- sentiment by PTI along with Hero Arts Looking Glass die Bird on a branch. I love these looking glass dies -they are surprisingly quick to create a card with and add so much detail and interest! I went with a brown/copper-pink color combo with the addition of green leaves of course... I always love copper and pink together!

Thanks for popping by and I look forward seeing what you'll make for us! xx

In my card I've colored the Penny Black flower with Copics and colored pencils -definitely a favorite technique! Another favorite is using a stencil and textured paste -this is a new fave but I love all the cards I've made using this technique. Stencil and paper glaze by Picket Fence Studios.
