Burst of Colors

Hello everyone! Today is the start of a new fortnightly BnW Challenge . Kathrin is our host this time and she decided that she says: "Let your creations 'SPARKLE' ". So don't be shy and use your glitter, bling and all that sparkles ;-) Here is my challenge creations: I used 'Brooke's Frist Chrtistnas and colored her with Copics. DP is from Crate Paper, Sentiment from Whimsy and the poinsettia is cut out using a Bosskut die. I added lots of Sparkle to my card using Stickles, rhinestones and glittered embellies. The star border punch is from MS as is the ribbon. Thanks for taking a look at my blog today and sorry for the super short posting. It's just a busy busy time at right now! Luv 'n hugs

  Hello all and welcome to my blog today! Today I like to show you a card I made with one of the newly released Belles 'n Whistles 2011 Christmas stamps , called Angels Grace.  Oh isn't she such a beauty and so charming? This is also my belated DT challenge creation for this fortnights BnW Challenge where the theme is 'Anything Goes' hosted by my lovely DT sister Audhild ! I colored her using my Copics. She was stamped onto "Make it Colour" cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. This cardstock from 'Make it Crafty' is such a dream coloring on! The colors blend very well and smooth, no bleeding and the colors are coming out very bright and glowing. This is one of my favorite papers to use for coloring next to Arjo Wiggins Cryogen White, X-press it card and Neenah Solar White. DP is from my scrap box and unfortunately I don't know the make anymore. The sentiment is from Cats Life Press.  I hope I could inspire you a

Hello Friends! Here's one of the cards that was published in the latest Whimsy Inspirational Magazine - Issue 4. It's a wintery / christmassy card with one of the cute Wee stamps by Sylvia Zet called Winter Fairy . These stamps are exclusively available in rubber at Whimsy Stamps ! Ahhh I'm so in love with these cute stamps. I colored her with Copis - of course! It seems lately I'm not getting around to my other coloring mediums *sigh* I have to change that! Because I also really enjoy coloring with Distress Inks as well as with pencils! The DP is from Memory Box 'Yuletide' collection.  Embellies used: Flowers, charm and large snowflake die are from Whimsy . Small snowflake punch is MS, vine dies are from Cheery Lynne Designs. I'm off now to my crafting table. I have some commissioned cards to finish and I'm also working on my magazine creations for the next Whimsy Inspirational Magazine ! :-) Thanks for stopping by and have a wond
