The Daily Marker day 28: Polar Bear

My card today is inspired by the challenge on the

Die Cuttin'Diva's Blog.

~Polar Bears~

I came across a fun tutorial that I always

wanted to try with the scallop tag topper

punch by Stampin'Up!. You find this tutorial HERE.

I used a circle and a scallop circle die for this card.

For my card I used a polar bear stamp by Stampin'Up!

(from a very old wooden set) and the cup and sentiment

from a stamp set by Newton's Nook .

Crincle ribbon from DL. ART to close the card.

On the rightside inside the card I used a 

star stencil by Tim Holtz.

Of course my card is for the last day of

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

The Daily Marker day 27: Saturday Sketch

This fun image from  Limited Runs digital stamps

was lying around on my desk waiting to be colored again

and perfect for the next sketch challenge.

I choose to use this sketch from the

Sketch Saturday Blog, 

only turned it sideways.

For the card I used the bird image,

some scrap papers and 2 colors of ribbon.

I colored the image with stampin'blends and i used

also a wink of stella on the bord and the hearts if the flowers.

This is very hard to show the glimmer of it.

The sentiment is from Tim Holtz Small Talk stickers.

Of course my card is for day 27 of

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge.

The Daily Marker day 23: Cookies Challenge 111

Another baby card, this time for a boy.

Photo inspiration from the 

If you give a crafter a Cookie Blog

made me come up with this card for today.

For the background I used the same technique

as for the girl card with a sweet embossingfolder,

distress crayons.

Here I used brushed pewter distress mica spray.

When the background dries, I color the images

with fossilized amber, broken china and mowed lawn

distress oxide ink and a water brush.

The images are from the mini blueprints 8 CMS231.

After cutting out the images, I used a fossilized amber

colored paper behind the image to gave them a cookie look.

Around the card I tied a piece of blue crinckled ribbon.

The letters on the boy tag are from Tim Holtz 

industrious stickers and the stamped sentiment is from 

the set Made with Love by Stampin'Up! as well

as the little stars. A tiny sticky gemstone for a little

bling in the card.

Here the finished card.

Of course I made a matching envelop and decorated

the inside of the card with the left over strip.

Of course I enter my card also for 

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge

day 23.
