Spotted Penny Black!





Another week has gone by, and I didn't have any chance to make a card from last Sunday! That wasn't such a lovely week(from that aspect, because obviously I made more important things!! :)! But I did post, but I was disappointed a bit as I only had few comments that gave me feedback about the subject I asked help for. Anyway, here is another week and it's Monday! :) That means another Cupcake Craft challenge. This is already the 12th Challenge, and this week's it was Lauren's turn. She chose the theme Spots and Dots.

We'd like to see lots of large, small spots and dots on your creation. You can make a card, ATC, alter something, but it has to have spots!!

While I was going through my papers to choose a spotty one, I found this blue dotty and spotty lively Paper. It's cute and makes you feel full of life :)
So I had to find a cute and lovely image to go with it. This cutie hedgehog was shouting to be coloured. First I said no, and put him aside to chose a Magnolia (yes, one of the lovely new ones that arrived this week at my home) :)
but Mr.Hedgie wouldn't let me!! He got stubborn, and gave a temper tantrum!! He said he was also ready stay still and to pose for the photo, and darling he did!! :)




He's quite a cute one, and he looks so comfy!! Ahhh he just knows how to relax :)

Anyway, I hope it inspires you to go and look for some spotty papers and embellies, and take part in this week's challenge. Next week it will be my turn to decide the challenge, and I already have something prepared for you! I will try to make a sneak peek this week! ;)




I also made some hand stitching in this card. I love this technique, I find it creates a lovely feel and effect on the project. Now off to clear up the mess :)
Have a lovely week friends! Take care, and show your loved ones how much you care for them :0)
God bless

A warmer feeling!





Today I'm going to share with you another Earth Palette coloured card.. Featuring the gorgeous Penny Black animals :)
I love these colours, don't you?? :)
For an idea I started from a sketch from the very talented Katharina.. and added some more from there. I used HOTP papers and another striped I had in my stash... and water coloured the image on the same colur shades to match the DP.




I also worked on the base paper with some distress inks and Studio G clear stamps (adding some swirls ).




The bubbles and the cup in the image are heat embossed with clear powder added with glitter and then layered on brown glittery cardstock and then dark green. On top, before I made the final layer, I ued a Border punch to make the heart border. Finally stamped the PB sentiment on a left over base striped DP and cut with nesties, adding another scalloped frame from another piece of DP that is used in the card.






I finished by adding some baubles (that's how they are called are they??) :)
and some faux stitching.

Thanks for taking time to look. I hope you like it and that it inspires you to use these PB lovely images. Thanks Jilly for sending me this cutie image!!

Penny Black Challenge- Sketch 3




This week I was blog hopping at some challenge sites, even though i can't participate in some (as they require a certain type of stamps)... but I love visiting all the same, and be inspired by the wonderful creations, and adorable cute images. While doing this I met this lovely sketch on Penny black Challenge blog, and the wonderful DT makes.




When I saw Jovita's card, I fell in love with it! It's so cute and lovely made!

Then I rememberd that I had received that particular image on a Birthday card from one of my Trimmie friends, and I could recycle it and use it :) Without firther ado... this is what came out... and I really love it! ;) It's bright and cheerful, isn't it??








For thiscard I decided to use some free papers that came with a magazine (can't remember which!)
Sentiments :"Today" and "Bee Happy" are computer generated, the round is SU Firendship set
Scrap of light blue from other card
yellow didi gems
corner rounder punch
Paper and foam flower








Anyway... thanks for looking, and for the lovely messages you leave me.. you really make my day!! Send you hugs my friends :)
And have a lovely night!
