Two cards; flower and turtle

Hi,

Today I want to share two cards I made these past days.
For my first card I used this weeks sketch at techno stamper.

I used a flower stamp from the Stampin' up! set "Flower Shop".

The background paper is digital paper from Red Pepper Papers on Etsy.
I just love this color combinations of lavender, creme and sand.

Christmas tree on car top

Hello,

http://www.itallstartedwithpaint.com/car-in-jar-snow-globe/

Another Christmas card! I can't believe I made four Christmas cards already this early in the year (for me that is).
For this card I used the stampin' up! stamp set white Christmas.
I stamped the trees on white cardstock and on a snowy image (a freebie from Mel Stampz).
The car and tree are stamped on watercolor paper and then colored using distress markers.

The background paper is from Panduro Hobby.

For the sketch I used this weeks sketch from sketch saturday.

Gingerbread man

Hi,

The other day I came across this lovely clay ornament on Pinterest.

It's an ornament designed by Kay Miller. I wanted to make a card using this design and I asked Kay if that was alright.
She was honored that her ornaments were an inspiration for me. Here is a link to her design shop.
So I made this Christmas card.

The hearts, bows and leaves are stamped. The gingerbread man is a free digital stamp download from Plain Jane,
I colored it in Photoshop.

I'm entering this Christmas card in these challenges:

crafting by designs: get ready for Christmas

mod squad challenge: christmas
simon says stamp: wednesday challenge: anything goes

Have a very nice day, thanks for visiting my blog.

Anchor

Hi,

Nautical is not really my theme but I had this cute felt/fabric anchor in my stock for a long time and wanted to use it.
It happens that I signed up for the Inspired by Stamping newsletter and there was a free gift: nautical digital paper.
The perfect paper for my sea themed card.

The card is kept clean and simple. I just cut out a few hexagons in different sizes using the nautical paper.
Looked for a nice sentiment and added the anchor.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

craftin desert divas: red white and blue (I hope this is ok, it's not 4th july)

CASology: nautical

always playing with paper: nautical



who is tracy:Monday Mood Board: inspired by the sea

You fill my day with colour

Hi and happy Sunday,

I ordered some stamps from Avery Elle and Lawn Fawn.

On my card I used avery elle's cute elephant and bubbles clear stamps.
I did the coloring using watercolor pencils.
The sentiment is a stamp from a previous Simon Says stamp card kit. I heat embossed with white embossing powder.
Added threads in the rainbow colors.
