The Daily Marker day 11

On the 11 of 

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge

I used a sketch for my card.

This is the sketch

and you find it at the

TGIF Challenges Blog.

Here my card: oeps another coffee themed card!

To be honest I had some other hearts in mind,

but I am still  also cleaning my craft room

and could not find my Michael Strong hearts

( I am sure they are around...maybe i do another card soon!).

I started making the background with worn lipstick

and candied apple oxide distress ink in combination with 

mica distress spray antique bronze. it looks wonderful

in person, really!!

On top of the background I added images

with two Tim Holtz stencils and the 

candied apple distress ink (THMS040/ THS075).

The image and sentiment are by

Love Cynthia and the set of clear stamps 

is called Coffee Addict.

The heart is a die from spellbinder with matching scallop.

Here a close up on the background.

if you click on the photo you do see the mica spray.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Christmas Cheer

Today I play with my card for the 

TGIF Challenges Blog.

The challenge is to make a card with any of

the Christmas carols. Mine is the lovely Jingle Bells.

For my card I used this lovely designer's paper by Stampin'Up!

The bauble is the Cloisonné Snowman ornament by

Michael Strong, added to the card with baker's twine

and some real jingle bells.

The sentiment is again from Stampin'Up!. 

It is a stamp from the Seasonal Latern stamp set.

Thank you very much for looking

and have a creative day!
