Pretty Cute Stamps - fishes

Today I'm sharing a circle card I've created with these stamp sets from pretty cute stamps.


                      

                                          

I made the background using water color paints. Then I printed the fishes, seahorse and starfish in greyscale on cardstock and colored them using my spectrum noir markers.
I think you can see that I used "Nemo" as an inspiration for the clownfish.

If you also would like to use cute sea creatures on your creations please visit the Pretty cute stamp store for more cute digital stamps.

I would like to enter this card in these challenges:

challenge up your life: watercolor

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Flowers

This circular card was inspired by this weeks cupcake inspiration colours:

 

I used a die namic from MFT to cut out two round shapes and another circular die to cut out the center circle. 

The sentiment is heat embossed with white embossing powder on vellum and glued between two layers. 

There is another layer with a scoring part on top so the card can stand up.

The flowers are also heat embossed on vellum using stampin up flower stamps.

I'm entering this card the cupcake inspirations and the Outlawz Monday challenge: no corners.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Henriette.

Happy Fall

Hello,

The new challenge on fab friday stampin challenge is a color challenge using these 3 colors.

The perfect challenge for my new Stampin' up! designer paper "into the woods".

I was looking for a different kind of card design and found a great round card through Pinterest from eileens crafty zone.

It took a bit of die cutting and cutting the circles in the right shape with my craft knife.

The bear stamp and wooden leave are also from Stampin' up!

Sweet Candy Shop

Hi,

I'm very happy with my new stamp sets from papertreyink; petite places sweet shop mini stamp set and
sweet shop sentiments mini stamp set.
I used some of the stamps on my next card,  a round card.

First I used my cuttlebug to cut out the circles. I stamped the candy shop in lavender colour
and the other elements in different shades of pink. The bicycle (isn't that cute) in grey.
The sentiment I stamped on lavender cardstock using black ink.
I cut out the sentiment and the marquis by hand, because unfortunately I don't have the matching dies.

Entering this card in these challenges:

Mother's day circle card

Hi,

Challenge #15 at Yumi and Fumi challenge blog is "a shaped card for mom".
Sadly my mother passed away four years ago, I miss her very much.
But I made a card for my boyfriend's mother who will be very happy with this mother's day card.
She is also into cardmaking and we visit the craft fair in Arnhem together twice a year.

My new yumi and fumi stamp "fumi with turtle" arrived just in time.
I stamped the image on paper and scanned it to my computer, so I could color it using Photoshop.
The card base I cut out using my cuttlebug.
The background paper is digital from my baby giggles Etsy shop.

                                  

Some pink twine and a cute heartshaped button for the finishing touch.

The flower in the front of the card I made the other day using my cuttlebug and a a plain tissue.

It turned out pretty nice and I'm hoping to make some other tissue flowers next week.

My shaped card I'm entering in the next challenges:

    Hi,

Yeahhhhh ... it is friday again and a special friday for me! But first this.

I had some time on my hands this morning to make a card using
a digital stamp I won from last month's Birdie Brown challenge.
It is a cute stamp called furever love.

                   


                   
                  I used the deconstructed Sketch No. 88 to
                  make this card.

I colored the digital stamp in Photoshop. The background paper is from jillibean-soup.
The sentiment I created myself. The cute dog bone embellishment I had lying around for ages.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
