Kiss me

Hi guys,

I just found out that I won my third Honorable Gnome over at the Lawnscaping Challenge Blog. Yeah! I'm so happy that they like my cards.

Here is another one. I created it for the BE Inspired Challenge #50 - congrats on Challenge #50 - and took a more indirect aproach this time - no bike. Instead, I went for the colors and the tiny flowers and put the lovely frog from the Enchanted set in the center. The circle-burst-background has been inspired by a card that I saw on Christine's blog a while ago. You should go and check out her awesome creations.

Here is my list of supplies:
The Alley Way Stamps - Enchanted
Basic Grey - Fresh Cut 6x6 Paper Pad
Wendy Vecchi - White Embossing Paste
Distress Paint (Evergreen Bough)
Adirondack Embossing Powder - Wild Plum
Prima Marketinng - Crackle Stencil
grey twine

And  since I used a fairy tale image, I am also linking this card up to the Daring Cardmakers Fairy Tales Challenge.

Yours,
Tanja

Hello

Hi,

this is my second card for today. I created it for the AEI♥U Challenge #2: Embellishments.

I used a cute little self-made tissue wrap envelope with an embossed sentiment, faux stitching, multi-color embossed dots and sequins as my embellishments for this card. To give the envelope some color I used my Shadow Inks as you normally would use your Distress Inks: I put some on my craft sheet, added a bit of water and put the envelope in - subtle but a perfect match to the colors that I already used.

Here is the list of supplies:
Avery Elle - Modern Leaves
Technique Tuesday - In Stitches
Hero Arts Shadow Ink (Tide Pool, Soft Lilac, Bubble Gum, Cornflower)
Zing Embossing Powder - Rose, Lavender, Frost, White
Ranger Embossing Powder - Turquoise
Tim Holtz - Tissue Wrap Terminology
white cardstock 
sequins

See you soon.

Yours,
Tanja

Embrace today

Good morning,

today I would like to show yout the card which I created for the Paper Smooches SPARKS Picture Perfect Challenge.

When I first saw the inspirational photo, I thought "twine and flower pots" and that is why I created a card with a flower pot (it is actually a cup from the Hot Concoctions set) and put a twine-flower in it. It was quite messy to layer the twine as a flower and its leaves - I had really gluey fingers afterwards. On the little banner-shape I used an emboss-resist also using a stamp from the Hot Concoctions set.

Here is my list of supplies:
Paper Smooches - Hot Concoctions
Paper Smooches - Captured Moments
Distress Ink (Bundled Sage, Dried Marigold)
green twine
kraft cardstock
Fancy Pants - Wonderful Day 6x6 Paper Pad
Doodlebug Design Inc. - Doodle Twine Bright Assortment
Doodlebug Design Inc. - Bumblebee Sprinkles

See you later.

Yours,
Tanja
