Congratulations

Hi there,

I also got a card for you today.

It's quite unusual for me to create a one-layer-card. So I at least added some Glossy Accents on the buds in order to get some extra dimension :o)

I got inspired by the colourQ Challenge #243

and I would also like to link it up to the following challenges:

Go to your Happy Place

Good Morning,

today, I have another card for you.

I used the Paper Smooches SPARKS sketch to create a landscape with smiling mountains, palm trees, a blue summer sky and a sandy beach. On the sentiment strip I used multi-color heat-embossing.
Now I am really in the mood for a relaxing vacation, aren't you??

You light up my Life

Good Morning,

today, I would like to show you another card which I created with one of my new Lawn Fawn sets. For the first card click here.

First, I cut out the banner and stamped the three-colored striped background on it. Behind the banner there is a dry-embossed cloud panel only slightly highlighted with Distress Ink. The main image - my light house - is colored with watercolors and the sentiment is stamped on vellum. As a finishing touch I put a bow on it.

I would like to link it up to the following challenges:

Happy Moments

Hi,

today, I got another card for you.

I created a vintage polaroid with a cute beach scene and I was able to use one of the new Lawn Fawn sets thanks to Mias Stempelkueche.
First, I created the sand and cloud background on watercolor paper. Then I arranged my cut out and colored elements. The frame is also distressed with Distress Ink and as a background I chose a woodgrain pattern.

Here is a closeup of the scene:

Good Friends are like Stars

Hi,

here is my second card.

 

On this card I used custom made faux enamel dots. I punched out circles in different sizes from the watercolor background I created for the star. With the help of a stylus and a molding pad (you could use foam rubber as well) I shaped little domes. To give them the enamel finish, I covered them with three coats of clear embossing powder.

Here is a closeup:

I created this card for the following challenges.

You're Invited

Hi there,

I have another card for you.

 

You can find a lot of techniques on this clean and layered card: dry embossing, heat embossing, layering, paper piecing and of course stamping. 

For the background circles, I layered a piece of dry-embossed acetate on top of the heat-embossed larger circle. The little embossed dots on the top circle are colored in with Liquid Pearls and the sticky heat-embossed larger dots are covered with rub-on foil.

The sentiment is heat-embossed on a piece of vellum. 

I am going to participate in the following challenges:
