Hang in there

Hi,

The digital image I used on this card, I used before here. Even the paper is similar, but I think it's a different, better card.
I made this card to enter this weeks paper smooches challenge.

This is the sketch:

and here is my take on the sketch:

The wooden paper is from Jillibean Soup.
The leaves are from the paperpad So cute by Prima Marketing.
The digital image is a freebie from Paper Smooches, I did the coloring using Photoshop,
I printed the sentiment on the wood paper.

Next to the paper smooches challenge, I also would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

outlawz challenges: twisted-thursday: anything goes
simon says stamp: wednesday challenge: anything goes 
fan-tastic tuesday: use twine or string

Thanks for the visit! Enjoy your day.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Bride and groom cards

Hi,

Today's cards were inspired by these amazing cupcakes from Buns in the oven Cupcakery.

I came up with the idea of making two round cards.

I cut out the base cards with my cuttlebug.
The grooms card I made using different colours of grey cardstock and just cut them in the right shapes.
Added little silver rhinestones.
For the brides gown I used lace, pearls, a rhinestone and a lace flower.

I'm entering these cards in the following challenges:

brown sugar challenge: anything goes
crafts 4 eternity: anything goes
creative corner challenges: wedding bells
polka doodle: anything but square
little miss muffet challenges: round in circles 
simon says stamp: Clean and Simple

You're a star

Hi and welcome,

A while back I bought this punch at a Dutch store (Hema) and I didn't use it until today.

The twisted Thurday challenge at OUTLAWZ is use a punch.
I searched on internet for inpiration on how to use this punch and I found this card from Becca Prideaux.
I love the color combination and CAS style.

My card is a bit different.

I punched out the stars using sand colored paper. The sentiment I've made in Word and printed on kraft paper.
I also added a piece of twine and a wooden star (I think the white star is to large but I did not have a smaller one).
Finally I added a few punched out little stars.

Entering this card in these challenges:

outlawz challenges: twisted-thursday-challenge: use a punch
dream valley challenges: use kraft 
sketch saturday: 356       



Thanks for the visit! Have a nice day.

Hugs Henriëtte

Home is where the hugs are

For my next CAS card I used my cuttlebug to cut out different sizes of circles from different colours of cardstock,
Then I added pieces of foam for layering.

The sentiment is from Suddenly Artistic designs.

The house and tree are part of a die cut from Memory Box.

I'm entering this CAS card in these challenges:

addicted to stamps: CAS

whimsy stamps challenge: use a die cut 

Thanks so much for visiting.

Thank you watercolor card

Hello,

I don't have much mojo these last few weeks. That happens once or twice every year and I know it will past, but it's very irritating.
So today I sat down at my crafting table in my little crafting room and just started to watercolor.
I placed a sticker on watercolor paper and used distress markers to colour the inside and around the sticker.
Once the paint dried I removed the sticker and added a "thank you" rubb-on.

I would like to enter this card in these challenges:

aud sentiments challenge: anything goed + sentiment

crafting by designs: anything goes

penny's challenges: anything goes

make my monday challenge: flowers

Thank you for stopping over. Have a nice day.

Hugs, Henriëtte.
