Memoires

Hello and good morning everyone, my dear friends, visitors and followers. Hope you are doing fine. I enjoyed my day off today and am lucky about the cooler temperatures we have here. I spent a part of my day with creating a card just for fun, without to have fulfilling any commitments, which is a long time ago since last... When I saw the theme over at Magnolia Down Under I knew immediately... this is something I didn't made since a while and wanted to give it a try again; Sepia Colouring. Below you can see the result... I love the combo of those two stamps.

I made the colouring with Copics and added a lot of Fran'tage around the image to give it a Shabby / Vintage touch.

And I added a sweet little angel onto my card.

With this card I want to join following challenges;

Magnolia Down Under - Sepia Colouring
Midweek Magnolias - Make it Girly with Ribbon and Pearls
Tildas Town - Special Occasion (Birthday)
Totally Tilda - Going for a song (Horse with no Name by America)
Crafts and Me Challenges - Anything Goes
Fashionista - Birthday
Inky Chicks - Anything Goes
It's All About Vintage - Distress and Tear
Marvelous Magnolia - Shabby Chic

Thank you so much for looking!

Whiff of Joy Challenge - Card for a Baby

Hello my dear friends and visitors, today I have the pleasure to tell you about the new challenge we just started today at Whiff of Joy Challenges. This time we have a theme you will love I am sure, as everyone is now and then in the need of 

A CARD FOR A BABY

Below you can see what I created. I haven't use the usual blue or pink, but some brown tones to give my card a vintage touch. I also used Fran'tage again, a perfect medium to go shabby and vintage. For my card I used the sweet image 'Precious'. The sentiment is from the 'Little Sunshine' sentiment set. The postcard stamp is from Whiff of Joy too... a great addition to every card or project.

 I coloured the image with Copics. Around the image I added some French Vintage Postmarks before distressing and fran'taging.

For my card I used the actual Sketch from the Sketchy Challenges. Other challenges I want to join with my card:

Fab'n Funky - Animals
Cupcake Craft - Let's Get Sentimental
Inky Chicks - (Mother-) Love
A Creative Romance - Anything Goes

Wish you a wonderful day!

Once Upon by Bunny Zoe's Crafts

Hello everyone, great to see you here! When I saw those new cuties from C.C.Design 'Meoples Once Upon' I immediately fell in love with them. No wonder as I love everything fairytale, dragons, castles and so on. So those sweet images are just perfect for any project with those themes. I combined them with the Magnolia DooHickey Castle and the C.C.Designs House on the Hill Die. More dies I used are the Magnolia DooHickey Round Thought/Talk Bubbles and the Grass Border DooHickey.

The papers I used for the background is from My Mind's Eye 'Lucky in Love'. The images are coloured with Copics.

All those goodies are available at Bunny Zoe's Crafts.

 

Thank you so much for looking! Have a wonderful day now! Here it is forecasted hot 33 - 35 degrees... yikes!

Garden Delight at Simply Magnolia

Hello everyone, it is time for a new challenge again at Simply Magnolia. This week our theme is

I was inspired by this new beautiful Tilda and was thinking on a Japanese Garden.

I coloured her with Copics and added some Fran'tage around the image. The background papers are from Magnolia as well. I added some Glossy Accent onto the butterflies. Unfortunately it haven't dried fully when I made this photo so they look a bit milky.
