We from the DT from Whiff of Joy are happy to start showing you previews of the brand new images available from next Sunday. They are Halloween themed and just the cutest. I am sure you agree. The one I show you today is called 'Kitty on Pumpkin' and is designed from the Simply Maya artist Gina Elerion.

Below you can see a close up of this cute image. I coloured it with Copics. The post stamp sentiments I used and the sweet cat charm are from Whiff of Joy as well, available from the 16th September 2012 as well.

I followed the new Sketch we have at Whiff of Joy Challenges you can see below...



And some more news for you... we will have a Blog Hop for you starting on next Sunday, where the DT is showing you all the new images Whiff of Joy releases this month. Join us to see all the brilliant inspiration. I am sure you don't want to miss.

Crafts & Me Challenge # 101 - In the Pink

Hello and good morning everyone, today we have a new challenge for you over at Crafts and Me Challenges. This time we want to see

IN THE PINK

This time I made another clean and simple card. Well, it isn't on the first sight, but I only used this beautiful new image by Sara Burrier available at Crafts and Me soon, background papers and a sentiment. I just love this paper and I didn't wanted to cover too much of it. And the image fit so well into the frame on the paper.

Here's a close up as always... :o) I added some Stickles to her Wings.

Now it is your turn to show your pink creation. We look very much forward to see what you come with.

Have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Karin

DISTRESSING

This can be either paper distressing or colour distressing, any kind of distressing you want to create is fine. I did both, paper and ink distressing on my card you can see below...

Here is a close up of the image. I inked it up with brown ink. I added some glass sparklink to the snow parts of the image.

Here's a close up of the wonderful snowflake charm.

And here below you can see those beautiful poinsetta flowers. I made them by myself with the Magnolia Doohickey Poinsetta Die and Marianne D Berries Vintage. I added some sparkling around the edges.

Steampunk Sally

Hello dear friends and fellow crafters. Today I have to show you a more darker creation I recently made with one of the fabulous Sweet Pea Stamps. The last cards I created were quite bright and colourful. Ok, I used bright colours here as well, but the first impression is dark, not at last because of this fabulous image by Teresa Sherman called 'Steampunk Sally'. She is soooooo beautiful and true fun to colour as it already haves some shadings on the stamped image. She is available on Plate # 212 together with three more gorgeous images, and is available as a single stamp as well. If you love Steampunk this image is definitely a must!

I coloured her with Copics, and the background papers are from BoBunny.

Have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Karina
