DAD

Goodmorning,

Just a short post this time, but I wanted to show my latest card before going to work.
I made this one following the sketch from this week The Sketch Shop challenge. The paper is 'Life in the country' from Maja Design and the the dies, as well as the blue flowers were cut with the Silhouette Cameo. The red flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Edwin is colored with distress re-inkers.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Have a nice day

summertime

Hi everyone,
Today I was fortunate to have a lot of crafting time and I had another go at coloring with distress ink, only this time with Canson Montval 300 g paper, which is so much easier to work with than the paper I used before.

 This time I masked 2 stamps from the Magnolia Summer Memories collection and coloured them with distress ink. The paper I used is 'Life by the sea' by Maja design and the flowers came from Wild Orchid Crafts. The scalloped stamp background was cut with the silhouette.

For the inside of the card I printed the above on off-white cardstock.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Enjoy your weekend and see you next time

an apple a day

Here I am once again. It's been busy at work so I didn't have much time left for crafting.
Today I want to show a crad that I made for the Magnolia Stamp Lovers challenge.

For this one i had a first go at coloring with distress ink and I have to admit that I found it somewhat more difficult than I had anticipated. But I'm sure it'll get better along the way. I'm not quite satisfied with the way it turned out but I was in a hurry to finish it and that is never a good thing. So what can I say.....the little designer paper I did use is Howdy doody from My Mind's eye. The apple, heart and tag were cut with the silhouette and the die cut is from Memory Box.

As said I'm entering this card in the Magnolia stamp lovers Challenge where the theme is 'so fruity' this time.

Bye for now

happy 50th birthday

Goodmorning everyone.

Just a quick post this morning to show off the birthday card that i made for a friend who is turning 50 today. I designed it myself and used the silhouette to cut it.
The background paper is Paris&Co from My Minds Eye. I wanted to keep it simple so the '50' would come out better and I'm pretty pleased with it.

Have a nice day

gimme a brake

Hi everyone,
What a great week it's been. On tuesday I got my long awaited Silhouette Cameo as well as the new magnolia stamps I ordered. So after playing around and practicing with my cameo, I came up with the following card.

The stamps are from the Magnolia summer memories collection and I had this old paperpad still laying around. The palmtree and the border were cut with the silhouette. It was one of my first tries and I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. Unfortunately I forgot to make a note of the markers I used.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenge:
cute card thursday (one for the boys).

Have a nice weekend
