My & Rianne for Bunny Zoe's Crafts

Hello everyone, look at those colours, don't you love them so much as I do? It looks so bright and fresh, just perfect for a springlike card as the one is I show you today.

This cute image I used for my card is from Bildmalarna and is called 'Ma & Rianne'. I coloured those sweeties with Copics. Those gorgeous papers I used are from the My Mind's Eye 6x6 pad 'Lucky in Love'. I used two of the Whiff of Joy Die-Lights; the Lovely Doily and the Notebook Border.

As decoration I used a piece of Web Ribbon Aqua Blue, a Prima Say It In Crystals Mini Swirl (Lifetime), some Ruffle Roses Cream / Pink, a Prima Wood Button (Lifetime) and a Flower Heart Charm.

All those items I've used are from the Bunny Zoe's Crafts Shop.
 

Wish you a wonderful day now!

Pocket Cards at Simply Magnolia

Hello and happy Sunday everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend so far. Here we had a comeback of winter again yesterday... sigh! But it's April, so we know he is doing what he want, and is making no exception this spring. We made a little trip to the Lake Constance and had a great time with shopping at Constance, yummy dinner there, and a sightseeing tour at Stein am Rhein. Will post some pictures I made later next week.

Now I want to announce our new challenge we started today at Simply Magnolia. We want you to make

A POCKET CARD

Below you can see mine. I made one with a little white paperbag. Love how it turned out. It is made with one of my favourite Magnolia images and some paper scraps I still had. The little butterfly is cutted out from a piece of the paper and covered with Glossy Accent. The sentiment is from Whiff of Joy. They are available in English too.

Below you can see a close up of the image I coloured with Distress Inks. This image is so fun to colour.

 Here you can see the backside of the pocket card. In the fold of the paper bag I added a little tag. The words 'Baci' is Italian and means 'Kisses'.

And here you can see also the inside of the card.

Have a good start into the new week now.

Unleash the Butterflies by Crafts & Me

Hello and good morning my dear friends and visitors. I am terribly late with this post, but not too late... as I want to show you today the project I created for our Crafts & Me Challenge where I chose the theme Lace & Pearls. 

 

For my project I used this gorgeous image by Zindy S.D. Nielsen called 'Unleash the Butterflies'. I love this image and I so love how my card turned out. It is one of my favorite created from the last weeks and months to be honest. This beauty is a big pleasure to color. She is currently out of stock... no wonder... but I am sure Teresa will have her back soon. Check back soon again.

Below you can see a close up of the image I colored with Copics. I added some Crackle Paint to the butterflies.

And another close up of the watch which is a part from the Prima Engraver papers. I cut it out and covered it with some Glossy Accent and surrounded it with some bronze sparkling.

You still have some hours to join our challenge!
