Retro sketches #208

Here is my card for the

Retro sketches Blog 

for this week.

It is made with the wonderful papers

from Club Scrap's

Paris Flea Market

and the unmounted stamps that come with it.

The tag is made with the large collage rubber stamp

and some spray ink for the color.

The lace if from the paper lace mats that came

with the kit.

The thank you stamp is 3 layers: the posteroid punch

background, the black circle stampand the pink circle

with sentiment.

The corners are made with an SU! stamp and 

decorated with sticky black and pink pearls.

Spring Coffee Blog Hop: Day 5 again

Welcome to my 2nd card today for the 

Spring Coffee Lovers Blog hop.

This card is made with a digital freebie

from JessicaLynn Originals.

I printed the image

and colored it with watercolor pencils.

The background is a stencil by Tim Holtz

and I also used on of Tim's stencil

on the burlap strip.

The sentiment is a wooden stamp by 

Stampabilities. It is a golden oldie.

Retro Sketch #196

Iam having fun this week doing challenges.

Today it is a card sketch from the

Retro Sketches Blog.

For my card I used Club Scrap

Navigation papers and a sentiment from

Create with TLC.

The paper string circles give it an even more boat-look.

The compass is one of the Compass Coins by Tim Holtz.

Now wait and see what challenge I will take on tomorrow!

Thank you for looking!

Happy Winter

So on the first day of Winter I made a card

for the Retro Sketch Blog.

Even though outside it does not look at all like

winter,it is about 55 F here (12 C),I still wanted

to make a real Winter card.

I got the idea of making a retro/ vintage looking card.

ilove the brown/blue/white combination.

I used some  corrugated cardboard in the background.

This comes from a Starbucks sleeve (the inside)!

The mittens and snowflake are dies.There is some glitter

on the snowflake,but on the photo you only see it when 

you clickon it for a larger version.

The ribbon is hand died from D.L.Art and

on top of the bow there is a brad from my stash.

On the mittens I stamped a snowflake from

a Stampin'Up! set.

The background to this card is embossed with

a snowflake embossing folder from Tim Holtz

and the stamped sentiment is from a very old  SU! set.

I also want to enter this card for:

Addicted to Stamping challenge 116 Winter

and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Winter Wonderland

Thank you for looking and enjoy your Winter!

Have a creative day!
