Moon, stars and a cloudy sky

I fell in love with this Stamping Bella image as soon as I saw it. Now it's part of my stash and I finally ound time to play with it, inspired byt the layout of the Paper Players' sketch.
The image was colored with golden watercolors and purple Promarkers. I figured it would be suitable wih the freebie cloud embossing folder.  I used a Lawn Fawn star stamp to finish off the cloudy sky scene.

This card is for:
The Paper Players - #575 Sketch

Snowman in red, aqua and white

I love the combinaton of aqua, red and white, so seeing the inspiration photo over at Just Us Girls I wanted to play along.

I used a snowman stamp from North Star Stamps, colored the image, glittered with WoS and dressed it with a paper piced scarf.
I used 2 oval stiched dies from MFT and a scalloped one from Spellbinders. 3 snowflakes with a brad and 2 half pearls.
What you can't see in the photo is that I used a winter sentiment stamp and white embossing powder on the white panel.

This card is for:
Make My Monday - #166 Winter Wherever You Are
Just Us Girls - #616 Photo Inspiration

INK #257 - Cozy

I haven't had the best start of the year, but I hope it'll pick up from here. I haven't had the possibility to sepnd much time in the craftroom, or online, it's not a lack of mojo and I have plenty of new stuff, so I'm so ready to get to use some more real soon.

I got to use 3 out of my 5 new Lavinia stamps for this card, we have the theme of cozy over at Inkspirational, and I think these 2 cute fairies look all cozied up. I added some die cut flowers from Memory Box and some bling, deliberately placed off centre - so you know:)

Please head over to the challenge blog to see the my INK-teamies have made.

INK #256 - Goal

For our first challenge of 2022 we have the word prompt of GOAL at Inkspirational

You can interpret this theme in many different ways, but I went with a sports theme and made a football (soccer) inspired card. I used a die from Dixi Craft, and I believe the topper is the same brand. I used my hexagon dies to cut different DPs and I stamped the background using a fishnet stamp and a numbered one.

December Card Chain Challenge reveal

This is my second post for today, I'm back to share my card for the December Csrd Chain challenge reveal. This is the 4th time I participate in The Card Chain Challenge - anyone can enter as long as you are willing to snail mail a card to a fellow crafter.  If you'd like to join in for theJanuary challenge, you can sign up here until til 6th.  


THE CARD I SENT

I sent my card to  Ellie in Illinois, For my card I followed vertical line to the right:white+merry+Santa+circles+red. I made a mini slimline using lots of leftover pieces from other projects. My design evolved around all the circles and I added all the small stamped images and die cuts a bit randomly.

 

THE CARD I RECEIVED

I recieved my card from Brenda in the UK. The card is gorgeous, it's beautifully designed and with its large size it's quite impressive. I adore it and I've added it to the wallboard in my crafting room. Thank you, Brenda!



 

Guest Designer at STamping Sensations

I’m so happy to be invited as guest designer for Stamping Sensations' January challenge where the theme is Anything Goes with stamping, with the option of add a die.

I pulled out my Altenew die to make the frame, it's for a slimline size card, but I cut it to fit my mini slimline design. I heat embossed it with silver EP.
The sentiment was stamped on a torn piece of vellum and the Penny Black flowers on black card stock.
I added some rhinestones into each corner for a bit og shine.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
