Coloring

Today I have been coloring in the garden

with my foot up on the chair.

Not the best pictures, but my photobooth is

upstairs and that's just not an option now.

I have some new images that I downloaded

from Crafting Desert Divas.

This is Rhino Summer.

This unicorn is from the set

Belive in Magic.

The sentiments on both cards

are by Create with TLC.

Thank you for looking and 

have a creative day!

Pumpkin tag

Here is my tag for the pumpkin challenge on 

Diana Larsons blog HERE.

While I was cleaning my desk again, I found a little

pile of tags with some beautiful backgrounds,

ready for finishing and this is one of them.

Background is made with distress inks and Tim Holz stamps.

For this the tag I also used pumpkin, cat and bird dies.

The border on the bottom is also a wonderful

 die from Tim Holtz fastned with stamples to the 

tag. The sentiment stamps are from Lawn Fawn

and the pumpkin coffee image is a digital image

from CraftinDesertDiva's.

The beautiful pumpkin ribbon is of course 

one of the handdyed ribbons by Diana Larson.

You find these ribbons here.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Panda for FMS292

Here is a cute card for FMS292 with the

Panda Pals from Craftindesertdivas.

You find all the details of the sketch challenge

on the Freshly Made Sketches Blog.

Behind the little panda, I embossed all the papers

with a bamboo embossingfolder. He is chewing his favorite

food: bamboo.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Crusing By

Today I have been playing with a digital image from

Craftin Desert Divas. 

They have real stamps and

digital stamps. This is a digital one.

The stamp I used is called Crusing By and you find it here.

The image is colored with pencils.

Just got a box of new camelion pencils

 and the color wonderful.

The background of houses is a die from the

Sizzix Tim Holtz collection called Townscape.

Behind the houses I colored the white paper with 

broken china and fossilized amber oxide distress ink.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Chocolate eggs

It will be a lot of chocolate for Easter, so how about

a fun Easter egg card?

For my card I used;

Platypus image from Craftin Desert Divas

Mini eggs from Michael Strong

bows die from Tim Holtz

sentiment by Create with TLC

The Platypus image comes colored and not colored.

I used the colored images this time and printed them

in opposites and 3 times, so I can make a 3d version.

Here you see all the parts that I cut before

mounting them with foam tape.

Now for the eggs. I used some dark brown

choclate colored paper and embossed the image

with coper colored embossing powder.

Don't they look yummy?!

Now here everything is put together.

On top of the egg a bow made with a die.

The bow and the beak of the animal are made shiny

with glossy accent.

Each egg also has a tine gemstone in the same color

as the bow on top of the egg.

A close up on the sentiment and the card is finished with a purple

ribbon and a bow. I used two paper punches for the sentiment.

Hope your Easter is going to be chocolate sweet too!

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!
