For you to inspire I have a card that I am actually pretty proud of :)

For my card I used the Aurora stamp, which is absolutely gorgeous.

The card is actually pretty simple to make.

Card recipe:

1. Cut the 2 opening panels using a die I have had in my stash, I bought it from someone that was decluttering her craft room :) - the card base is white card stock of 300 gsm.

3. Stamped the fairy with Archival Ink and then added some Aqua Shimmer from Spectrum Noir and some gems on her wings.

4. Die cut the sentiment which is from Tonic Studios kit, added it to the front panel and ta da! This is it. 

Hope you will enjoy it ....

PolkaDot Orchard project - Thank you card

Good day, my dear friends!

It is always fantastic to have a reason to thank you for something or someone in our lives. Being thankful is something that makes you a better person, I think and it is always good for the mind and soul :)

For you today I have a cute card I made using a fabulous digital stamp from PolkaDot Orchard.

The flower is from the Petals for the Pittmans set two  and it was designed by Jessica's daughter. Pretty amazing, right?

The card is pretty simple to do:

Card recipe:

1. Cut the base - 300 gsm white card stock

2. I covered the base with tissue paper and then distressed the edges 

3. Cut a smaller panel using a cutting die with edge pattern

4. Printed the stamp and using Derwent charcoal pens added some color spots here and there just to get a little vintage effect. 

5. Die cut the sentiment using mirror card stock

6. Final touches - added the 3 half pearls :)

And ta DAAAA!

This is it. Hope you will enjoy and give it a try.

Challenge #119 - Scrapy Land DT

First Wednesday of the month? Well my friends, it is time for a new challenge over at Scrapy Land!

It looks like I am starting to get the hang of masculine cards :))) or not. 

For you today I have a very simple card, which I think is perfect for a man. It is a birthday card but you can transform it any other way.

For my project I used 

Amy Design - Dies - Daily Transport - Brick Wall

The car is from a stamp set I got long time ago, but you can use the one from Lawn Fawn and any Balloons cutting die that you find here.

The sentiment is from Tonic Studios, but you can also use any other cutting die from here.

I cut the card base from white card stock - 300 gsm, 14 x14 cm. I glued the brick wall after I cut it out of blue card stock.

This cutting die is just adorable and so versatile. 

I stamped, cut and coloured the car. I used Promarkers. Added glossy accents for the windows and 2 yellow gems for the lights. Also, stamped, cut and coloured the balloons. I glued them using double side adhesive tape for some dimension. For the car I used a wobble, just for fun. :)

Stamped and cut the sentiment and added it to the card.

This is the final result. Hope you like it.

And now it is your turn.

                                          

For the Scrapy Land challenges the theme is always ANYTHING GOES. 

All you have to do is to use for your project at least one brand of die that you can shop over at Scrapy Land.  

There is one WINNER, randomly chosen, the winner will receive a generous $15 gift certificate to Scrapy Land.

Please link back to this Scrapy Land Challenge and include the link to this challenge on your blog post.  It would also be extremely helpful if you would list the brands of dies used in your project.  

We cannot wait to see what you create! 

Until next time, stay safe and take care :
