Two cards for a few challenges

Hello!
I have two cards to show you today.
A Christmas one, which I made yesterday. I followed the sketch at this weeks Friday Sketchers challenge and the Basic Grey challenge this week has the theme - "Glitz and Bling", I don't know how well you can see in the photo, but I used glitter glue and gelly roll pen, so I actually have lots of glitz there. :)



I used another one of my Lili of the Valley stamps from their Christmas release, this one is called "Christmas Bunnies - Tree". I coloured the image with watercolours and used sakura gelly roll pen for the snow and for the sentiment which is from the Whiff of Joy. The papers are Basic Grey, the lovely tree charm is from Bunny Zoes Crafts; the lace and the ribbon are from stash.



And this is the sketch at Friday Sketchers:

And my second card -
(which I made some time ago, but totally forgot about posting it). It's a good thing that I had a photo of it taken and saved in one of the folders, because this card has been mailed to a friend. Anyway, I realized it fits this weeks challenge at Stamptacular Sunday challenge which is called - "Nature - tacular", to make a card or some other project that reminds us of being outside, using Autumn colours.



For this card I used one of my favourite Whiff of Joy stamps - Willow with Umbrella and sentiment also from the Whiff of Joy. The papers are K&Co and the ribbon is from stash.



Willow was coloured with watercolours.

Thank you for stopping by! :)

Sunshine & Apples and a few challenges

Good afternoon!
I've been cleaning the leaves in my yard enjoying the fresh air, it's seems like it's going to rain. I really have nothing against rain, but I was going to go for a bike ride and now I won't be able to..
Last night while going through my cards to see how many Christmas ones I have I found two cards which had been made about a month a go, but have never been posted. This is the first one, I'm entering the following challenges with it:
Roses on Paper & Belles'n Whistles challenge has the theme - "Romance or Sweet" and I think the image I used on this card it's very romantic and totally sweet.
Stamp Something challenge has the theme - "Thank You somethings" and the sentiment I used on my cards fits very well.
My Time to Craft challenge has the theme - "Under My Umbrella"
EtA: I'm entering the Quxotic Paperie challenge #4 which has the theme - "Tearing". I hope my entry will count, considering the fact that I posted my card two days before this challenge had started, if not never mind. :)



The stamp is adorable Sunshine & Apples, Belles 'n Whistles from their first release (have you seen the most beautiful Christmas stamps from the newest relese? Join the blog hop - here). The sentiment stamp is SU, the paper and the rope are from stash. The brown flower is Poppicrafts and the yellow roses are from Bunny Zoes Crafts.



Sunshine was coloured with watercolours.



Thank you for stopping by and a have a lovely day! :)
Hugs

Herb with Bird - A Christmas card :)

Good evening!
Finally a card from me! But, I have a good excuse, I've not been at home and have been pretty busy during the week.
I made this card a couple of days ago for the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps GDT call.



I used a Whiff of Joy stamp, Herb with Bird. The image was coloured with watercolours. The papers are Debbi Moore, from a CD, which I received from my blogging sister Anne. The sentiment stamp is also Whiff of Joy. I made the flower and the leaves, the brad is from stash, while the red heart gem I received from the lovely Moni.





If you are interested in applying to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps GDT call, go right here where you can read all about it, but hurry up as the GDT call ends today.

Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely evening! :)

Christmas card - yes, another one..

Good afternoon!
I made another Christmas card last night. This time I wanted to use a Magnolia image and again I combined a few challenges:
I followed the sketch at the Sketch Saturday, sketch #76, Basic Grey challenge, week #7 has a colour inspiration and the Cute Card Thursday, challenge #86 - has the theme - "Glitter Me Silly". I also wanted to enter the "Just Magnolia challenge" , which had the theme - "Distressing", but, I couldn't upload my card last night and today they've posted a new challenge.



The Magnolia image I used was among the images I received in a swap, but I'm not sure whom I got it from.. The sentiment is Whiff of Joy. Both papers are Basic Grey - Wassail and they have been distressed. The flowers are prima, I added two burgundy roses in the centres and added some glitter. The lace and the ribbon are from stash.



The image has been coloured with watercolours as usual and I added some silver, gold and red gitter glue which I bought in a local craft shop.



Now I'm off to "take" some Sun outside, thank you for stopping by! :)

Mimosa is Christmas

Good morning!
It's been a week since I posted a card and even longer since I made one, so I decided to make one last night, using this cute Bildmalarna stamp called "Mimosa is Christmas", which I bought a couple of months ago.

I'm entering the following challenges with it:
Roses on Paper, challenge #24, with the theme - "A Christmas Card".
Stamp with Fun, challenge #31, which has the theme - "A card with a scene".
Stamp with Stampavie and more, challenge #68 ,with the theme - "Stars".
Cute Card Thursday, challenge #85 , with the theme - "Primary Colours - Red, Blue and Yellow".

My card:



I wanted to make a little winter scene. The image has been coloured with watercolours as usual, cut out and mounted onto a circle of a blue card, where I had already stamped some stars. After that I added some sparkle to the stars with my sakura gelly roll pen and added snow with some stickles - frosted lace. You can see how well it sparkles in the next two photos. The paper is Basic Grey, Wassail and I used this lovely sentiment stamp from the Whiff of Joy, which came in the autumn kit, but I think it can fit any season and goes very well with the stamp I used. The yellow ribbon and the pearls are from stash.



You can see how it sparkles in this photo. I must say I really like how these three colours work together.






Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely day! :)
