Happy

Tuesday, September 30, 2014

Hi,

I used this weeks sweet-sunday-sketch for the layout of my next card.

The background paper, the circle and the "Oh yeah!" are free downloads from digital design essentials.

I had the perfect digital stamp to go with the paper. A girl jumping up.
It was one of my first free digital images.. I don't remember where I got it from, sorry.
I did the coloring in Photoshop.

Autumn/Fall

Monday, September 29, 2014

Hi,

Autumn is almost here, but the temperature outside is still nice here in the Netherlands (21 dregrees C).
There are quite a few autumn/fall themed challenges around so I made this next card.

I used the tree stamp before but this time I stamped the leaves in multiple autumn colors.

The tree, leaves, sentiment and leaf sequins are all from previous Simon says stamp card kits.

Kraft with white is one of my favoured color combinations.

I would like to enter this card in these challenges:

The Bright spot

Thursday, September 25, 2014

Hi all,

These days it seems that I can't find my mojo anywhere. So frustrating.
I'm just to busy with my full time job, running a household with a teenager, etc.
I simply haven't got enough time to come up with nice ideas for cards.

It took some thinking and surfing for my next card I'm showing you and I'm not all that pleased with it.

It is in a very simple CAS style.
The cute owl is a freebie from Paper Smooches. I made it into a snow owl using Photoshop.
I made the sentiment using embossing powder.
The stamp is from a previous Simon Says Stamp card Kit.
I cut the tree out of some paper from a previous cardkit from Jillibean Soup.

I'm entering this card in these challenges:

Stand Tall

Sunday, September 7, 2014

Hello, I hope you're enjoying your weekend.

When I first saw the new "flirty flamingo" image at pink petticoat I just had to have it.
It is so cute.
I used one on my next card.

I colored the image using Photoshop, the sentiment I printed on glitter paper.
This weeks sketch at case this sketch was my inspiration for the lay-out.
