TOMIC Challenge # 23 - Sketch and Edwin

Hi my dear friends and fellow crafters. How are you doing? Well, to be honest there were days I felt better. As today it was the funeral of my partners das who dies a week ago. Really sad... But that's life. 

For myself being creative and making cards is the best way to come on other thoughts. So this following card became. I made it for the new challenge over at TOMIC The Official Magnolia Inspiration Challengewhere the ask for Edwin with a Sketch. 

To be honest, I don't have many Edwins as I love the sweet Tildas much more. But this one is one of the very few I have in my collection and I like him. He is really cute and each year I take him out to create something.

Beside of TOMIC I also want to join following challengs with this card:

Motherhood

Hello fellow Sweet Pea Stamp lovers. Today I want to show you a card I made with one of my actual favourite images. When I saw this one the first time, I LOVED it immediately. No other image can reflect motherlove and motherhood any better as this one. For me it is the perfect image for a 'welcome baby' card. 

This image is called 'Shhh Mummies Here' and is from the amazing artist Joanne Schempp. It is available on plate # 178 together with three more fabulous images, but also as a single stamp. 

And this sweet image is so great to colour. I had lots of fun playing with it. I coloured it with Distress Inks on 300 gram watercolour papers. The designer papers are by Authentique. Also the postal stamps are a part of this paper pad. The die is from Spellbinders and the flowers from Wild Orchid. The other items are from my stash. To give the image some more effect I added some glitter to some parts.

Have a magical day and thank you so much for your always apprechiated visit here!

Hugs, Karina
