Guest designer for Amazing Paper Grace

Hi, a few months ago I was asked to be a guest designer for Amazing Paper Grace  by Becca Feeken, owner of Amazing Paper Crace and designer for Spellbinders.

It was such an honor to be asked that I didn't have to think twice about accepting.

Becca sent me gorgeous dies to work with and during this month, November, 

I will share with you 4 projects I made using her dies.

Today, the first post, I'm sharing two cards I've created with the cute shapeabilities die 

"Bundle of Joy".

I made one in blue and one in pink.

The papers are from Prima Marketing, Heaven Sent.

Both cards have multiple layers.

I used white felt to make the flowers and also the bundle the stork has in 

his beak is cut out of felt.

For the flowers I used the blossoms dies from the Candlewick grand pocket die set.

Here you can find all Becca Feeken designed dies.

Guest Designer at Saratov Scrap

Hi, today I'm sharing a card I've made for this months challenge at saratov scrap Russia.
I was in the top 3 at a previous saratov scrap challenge  and was invited to be a guest designer.

Here is the card I've made for this months challenge at Saratov Scrap.

The inspiration for the challenge is a moodboard.

 

I was inspired by the rosette, the colors and the bird.

It was the first time I made a rosette, it was easy to do and it makes a wonderful accent on the card. The paper I used is from Mintay Birdsong. And of course I made all the flowers on the card myself using foamiran.

If you would like to join in the challenge please click on the link. Don't let the Russian language scare you, I don't speak a word Russian and luckily there is Google translate.

Guest DT Inkspirational Challenge - Watercolour Smooshing

Last January I was one of the top picks at inspirational challenges and I was invited to be the guest designer in a future challenge. 

The theme for the challenge is "watercolour smooshing". Here is a link to a tutorial on this technique. I used that same technique on my card.

The paisley stamp used on this card I had in my stash a long time. It is from Artemio, wood mounted stamp. 

I stamp the image several times with versamark ink and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder,

Then I did the watercolour smooching.

The sentiment is from a previous Simon says stamp card kit and just perfect for the colorful card. Finally I've added some gold and blue sequins.

I hope you'll join us in this weeks challenge over at inkspirational challenges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs, Henriette.

Guest DT Card for create a smile

I have the pleasure to be this month guest designer at Create a smile challenge.
The challenge theme for the month of February is "Lovely". Just the perfect theme for the upcoming Valentines day.
For this occasion I've made my first clear shaker card.
I've recently purchased a fuse tool and this was my first project.

The cute piggy and sentiment are from a Create a smile stampset called lovely critters.
I did the coloring with spectrum noir markers.
Inside the shaker I placed a piece of patterned paper and heart shaped sequins.

All the info for the challenge is on the Create a smile blog.
Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate all your comments very much.

Hugs, Henriette.
