Happy Earth Day

Looking after the planet is more and more important these days,

so I try to teach my grandson a little about it. We have planted

seeds to grow our own tomatoes this year.

I hope we will see them grow and eat them!

Of course here is a card too:

I used this sketch from the Mojo Monday Blog.

I made the background with the direct to paper technique

and two colors of distress oxide ink.

The earth stamp is by Stamp Fransisco (a very old

wooden stamp from my stash). The leaves are thinlits

from Sizzix (Tim Holtz)  Wildflower stems #2.

I used some green/blue glitter paper for the leaves.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Mojo Monday 508

My card today was inspired by the Mojo Monday 

sketch you see below.

It is not exactly, but I guess you can see the inspiration!

I started with a piece of black cardstock and

embossed it with the candy hearts embossing folder.

Then i added some gold and copper gilding wax.

This is the beautiful result.

This stamp is by Honey Bee Stamps

from the set Coffee Break.

I stamped it twice: one time on red paper

and one time on pink paper. The inside of the 

cup is colored with markers.

For the inside of the card I used 

Altenew stamps. They are from the set

Coffee Talk.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Mojo Monday 501

It seems a sad time for not only my family,

but for some of my friends as well,

so that is why I made this condolance card.

I used the new sketch by Julee Tilman

that you can find on her 

Poetic Artistry Blog.

The butterflies are made with thinlits

from Stampin'Up!.

Each butterfly consists of two parts. The gold 

filigree part and the plain background.

All the papers on this card are colored with

the direct paper technique with seedless

preserves oxide distress ink in combination

with copper mica distress spray,

All the rubber stamps on this card are

Club Scrap Spring Chorus April 2013.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Mojo Monday sketch 499

This is my contribution for this weeks sketch on the

Mojo Monday Blog.

You find all the details here.

I am inflamed by the unicorn rage and found out

that with the owl punch and the foxy friend punch

you can make a very cute unicorn.

These punches are by Stampin'Up! and still available.

The cloud behind  the unicorn is hand cut.

Behind the unicorn you see some golden stars.

 That is made with an embossingfolder and a gold inkpad.

The sentiment is by CraftinDesertDivas and the

set is called Magical Unicorns.

The paper is from a design paper blog from my stash.

Thank you for looking 

and have a creative day!

Background embossed with a coffee stain 

embossing folder and coffee bean embossing folder.

The sentiment behind the cup is part of

an Stampendous "wave words" stamp.

The cup is a stamp by Verve Stamps (Le Typewriter)

and  added a cute little spoon as a carm.

And of course I wanted to use my new washi tape.

This totally cute washi tape is from Doodlebugdesigns.

Thanks for looking

Sketches

It seems to be sketches day for my!

But both my cards are done with the

Club Scrap Adirondacs kit.

This first one is for this weeks Mojo Monday

sketch and is a paper version.

You find all the details

for Mojo Monday here.

The second card is for the sketch challenge

on the Club Scrap forum and for this one

I used my digital Adirondacs kit.

I need to learn more about shading in 

photoshop, but i made this card with many layers

and for me that is quite an accomplisment!

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Music and Mojo Monday

I finally had time to play with my new stamps from 

Zum Gali Gali.

These are the stamps used:

musicians 1026 H

circle dancers 1010 H

All the sentiments I used are from 

Create with TLC.

I used them for my sketch card on the 

Mojo Monday Blog.

You find all the detaild HERE and you

can add your own card there too.

So, the background is embossed with a music

embossingfolder from Tim Holtz. On top the different

panels are stamped with the musicians and the 

circle of dancers. The sentiment is printed and 

cut to size. The musical ribbon is from a real old

music book I once bought on a jumble sale to

use for my cards.

For this card I started with printing the 

sentiment. Next I took a musical stencil

and 3 colors of distress ink to color the 

background. The musician stamp was added

last.

For my last card I also started with printing

the sentiment. Next I used a musical note

rubber stamp from my stash all over

and colored with fosillized distress ink.

Then stamping the musiciand all over.

On a seperate piece of cardstock the 

musicians are stamped and embossed and

made into the focal point.

I had so much fun with these stamps and have 

tons of more ideas. I am sure these musicians

will come by again soon!

Thanks for looking and have a creative day.
