Out of Africa

The other day I was shopping and I came across these tangram animal shapes that would look cute on cards.

The shop is called Xenos and they also have some great paper packs and matching embellishments.
I decided to make a few African style cards using the paper and the wildlife animal figures.

The sand colored panel is adhered with foam tape.

The sentiments I made myself in paint using a Africa style font.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day.

Hugs, Henriette.

Hello Little Friend

Bugaboo is having their 6th annual birthday bash and the theme on day one is "Wild thing, you make my heart sing".

I used a bugaboo stamp with a cute elephant. I did the coloring in photoshop. I also added a little hello word bubble.

I'm entering this card in these two challenges:

simon says stamp: best friends

Thanks for stopping by.

Miss You more than just a little

My second blogpost today is to share with you a card I made for the Avery Elle challenge: winter.

I don't have a lot Avery Elle stamps so I had to think of a way to make a winter card with an elephant. You usually don't see a wild elephant in the snow but hey one has to manage with what one has got.

I watercolored the background and added waterdrops. I used a stampin'up snow stamp and embossing powder to make the snow.

I colored the little elephant (stamp from Avery Elle) with spectrum nours. The sentiment is  a stamp from mama elephant.

Entering this card in the Avery Elle challenge: Winter.

Thanks so much for visiting. I so much appreciate your comments.

Hugs, Henriëtte

You fill my day with colour

Hi and happy Sunday,

Last month I was one of the lucky winners at outlawz challenges. I won a gift certificate from 7 kids college fund and
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.

I'm entering this card in these challenges:

Avery Elle challenge: rainbow

all sorts challenge: use a stamp

Inspired by stamping 95: string

addicted to stamps: cas

Have a great day, thanks for stopping by.
I appreciate all your comments very much!

Hugs Henriette.

I never forget ... What?

Hello,

On my next card I used an icon. The elephant is a free icon from icon archive.com.
I thought he looked funny. I have a thing with icons, the simple lines often are very effective images.

The black patterned paper looks like the skin of an elephant.
I made the sentiment in word using the font called "this font looks like elephant".
For the cardstock I used different shades of gray.

I'm entering this card in these challenges:

outlawz challenges: Saturday shades-of-gray
my time to craft challenge: zoo animals
fab n funky challenge: flora or fauna

Thanks for visiting my blog. Take care.

Hugs Henriëtte.
