Unicorn

I found this cute chubby unicorn freebie at useless trinkets and used it on a birthday card.
She (or he) reminded me of the unicorn in despicable me.
The background I made using memento dew drops inkt pads and lots of water.
The cute unicorn I colored in Photoshop. The balloon are stamps from a previous Simon says stamp card kit.
The sentiment is also from useless trinkets.
It turned out a sweet birthday card in candy colors.

Poinsettia

Today I finished another Christmas card. I used a new die I bought at a craft booth on our local market.
It's a poinsettia die from poppy stamps.

I die cut the flower three times, using white glitter paper, vellum and beige cardstock.
The golden bit behind the sentiment and flower is gold angelwire paper.

I made the background in Photoshop, it's kind of a frosting idea in light brown colors.

The snowflakes are punched out of glitter paper. The sentiment is a stamp from a previous Simon says stamp card kit.

Halloween CAS card

Hi and welcome,

Although Halloween is not a big thing here in The Netherlands and I'm not so fond of Halloween themed challenges,
I did made a CAS Halloween card.
I used the same card layout as I did on a baby card that I made last May.

Here is how I made this card.
First I made 5 circles in Photoshop using a Halloween color scheme.
Then I searched on Flaticon.com for Halloween icons and placed them inside the circles.
I printed them and used circle die cuts because I wanted to foam mount the middle circle.
I also made the sentiment in Photoshop using the font "an unfortunate event" and added a little spider icon in the "o".
I printed the sentiment directly on the purple cardstock.
Also did I add orange glitter paper behind the white panel.

I really like the way Debby Hughes displayes her cards on her blog.
She explains more about how she takes photos of her cards here. 
I'm trying to be as good of a photographer as her, but not even close :)

Entering this CAS card in these challenges:

outlawz challenge: sunday cas Halloween
artistic inspirations challenge: halloween
dream valley challenges: halloween

addicted to stamps: photo inspiration: inspired by the five panels



Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a nice day.

Flower wreath

Hello and  happy Sunday,
My laptop broke down yesterday. Not to be repaired. 

We bought a new desktop and all the stuff on my hard drive could be transferred to my new computer.
Thank goodness for that! I have a lot of digital stamps, downloads, digital papers, you name it.
Then all the programs like picassa and photoshop had to be installed.
So much work, but I have a great boyfriend who works in IT and he did it all for me.

During this I made a a flower wreath birthday card, what better thing to do on World Card making day!

I used stamps from a previous Simon Says Stamp card kit.
