WMS Sketch Challenge #64 and an anniversary card

Hi there!

Today I've got two cards to show! The first one is for the WMS challenge of this week. The background of the sketch was plain, so that gave me a bit of freedom to make my own. But of course I placed the sentiment were it belongs!

I just have a new distress ink, Victorian Velvet (and I guess more colors will be followed after the three I have now). It's a nice color to add some romantic touch to a card. And the combination with Basic Grey's Olivia it's just perfect. I didn't know exactly what to do with the circle as embellishment. Until my eye saw the 'wheel' of the Rescue Remedie set and the 50p stamp et voila! The tag is original larger, but I trimmed of some paper of both sides.

add: Stupid me... I now see the sketch again and see on the background of the sketch: STAMP... And I used paper as well... So I don't think this is a good card for the challenge

The second cards in an anniversarycard. I made it for a couple who got married a year ago. We were guests on their wedding day and we are looking back on a great day. I thought it would be nice to send a card to them. So I stamped the background with PTI 'a little argyle'. It was a long t ime ago I used that stampset, but it works perfectly if you combine it with other papers like this one of Eline Pellinkhof. Some ribbon and twine and a sentiment gives the finishing touch.

Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for coming by and have a nice day!

stamps: WMS Text it, Rescue Remedies, Teeny trees

WMS Sketch Challenge #63 and some other cards

Today I share some cards with you as the coming days will be too busy to post anyway.
The first one is my take of the WMS Sketch Challenge for this week.

(please, click on the photos to enlarge it and make it sharper)

By the way, this is the sketch:

I turned the sketch and made it my own. The background is first distressed with Antique Linen and stamped with Text-it in brown. I love the color combination pink/brown and the papers of Basic Grey match perfect with it. It was fun playing with this sketch! Thank you, Anya!

The second card is for a baby boy. I've got the giraffe stamp for a  long time, but didn't know exactly what to do with. Till I saw the light yesterday. The papers and post stamp of Eline Pellinkhof and some ribbon made a perfect combination in my opinion.

Last but not least a card with a WMS Rescue Remedie stamps and some paper of Emma's shoppe. Hopefully this card gives a good feeling to a sick person.

Thank you for your visit!

Scrapdelight inspiratie challenge

Second post for today, but coming weekend I don't have much time to post, so I'll do it now! Searching with google brought me to the blog of Scrapdelight, a shop in Nieuwegein. I'm sorry that this shop is not really near to my place. The photos show a very nice assortment and a beautiful shop. But lucky me: a webshop is available :)

On their blog they offer a challenge:

And this is the result:



I distressed white cardstock with Distress Ink antique linen and stamped polka dots on it. The papers of October Afternoon made a perfect match with the aqua colors of the challenge!

Thanks for your visit!

Supplies:

Paper: october afternoon. Kraft and white cardstock.

Stamps: PTI

Ink: memento Tuxedo Black, PTI aqua mist

Others: flower, brad, ribbon, sewingmachine, martha stewart border punch



Happy weekend!

Sun is shining here! A very good start of the weekend! Last week I didn't have a heavy and dutiful schedule, so I could do a lot in my 'atelier'. So coming week I can show a lot of work. And I start today!

When I discovered Emma's shoppe by Crate Paper I ordered some chipboard embellishments and journals as well. I love the result of others shown on the internet. But to work with it it is a bit hard. I really don't know where to put the embellishments and how to use the journal cards. Strange, isn't it? But I've just given it a try and well, here it is!

I'm still not satisfied with the quality of my pictures. How do you make your photo's? Just with daylight of with a (special) lamp? 

Thanks for your visit and enjoy your weekend!


Supplies:
Paper: Emma's shoppe by crate paper, kraft and white cardstok

WMS sketch challenge # 62

It is a long long time ago that I took part in the WMS Sketch Challenge. But today I'd like to participate again with this card. I don't use my embossing folders often, but for this card it worked out very well.

Thank you for visiting and hope to see you here again!

paper: Crate paper,
Stamps: WMS Off Beat, Teeny Trees (sentiment)
Ink: Distress Old Paper, memento Tuxede Black
Others: embossing folder Daisy, Martha Stewart border punch, flower punch, ribbon, sewing machine, twine.

With fantasy

I didn't have a very good idea what to make, so just used my fantasy and some stuff on my desk. And this is the result! I'm happy with it!

The ribbon was aqua/white, but the white was too bright. So I used some distress ink to make it more compatible with the card. And these flowers bringing me some summer feelings in these dark days of August... Our living room has back its furniture after the renovation! To celebrate it I put some flowers on our dinner table. I'm not very creative with flowers and can't make a nice bouquet. This is a very good alternative for me!

Thanks for coming by!

Supplies:
stamps: WMS Off Beat, PTI Up, Up and away (sentiment)
Ink: distress Old Paper, memento Tuxedo Black,
Papers: October Afternoon
Others: circle and flower punch, sewingmachine, ribbon

Trees and hills

Last cards for this week! This weekend the renovation of our livingroom will be finally finished, so a lot of work to do and no time for crafty things.

These cards were made after some inspiration I saw somewhere on the web and I really don't know where anymore. But she used the dotted circle stamp of the Teeny Trees stamp set as hills and I really liked that.
With some help of PTI stamps I'm very satisfied with the results! The bigger tree on the second card is stamped three times with green, so two different greens with one ink!

See you soon!

Supplies for both cards:
Stamps: WMS Teeny Trees, Off Beat; PTI Up, up and away, polka dot 1
Ink: Memento Tuxedo black, pear tart, lady bug, bamboo leaves; brown ink unknown. Ranger distress ink old paper
Other: corner punch, sewingmachine, embossing powder + heatgun.

A passion for PTI - Challenge

On the blog of A passion for Papertrey you can find a challenge. No special guidelines this time, just using PTI stamps and your own inspiration. Well, this is the result! Well, actually the results, as I made two cards with the same idea.

Of course, I had to use my very favorite stamp set at this moment: botanical silhouettes. And no, I'm not a frequent buyer of PTI stamps, but was a lucky person to get this set on Ebay.

Thank you for coming by!

Supplies:

Stamps: PTI Polka dot 1, Botanical Silhouettes, Up, up and away

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, bamboo leaves, ladybug, paris dusk; Distress ink old paper

paper: Bazill basics kraft; white paper (unknown)

Others: thread, strass, round corner punch, sewing machine

Back home and the first cards!

Home sweet home! We spent 2,5 weeks in Brazil, visiting my sister who has been working there for 1,5 years now. It was a wonderful meeting with 'her' boys in Casa Lar whom she is taking care of. And the country is so beautiful!

The jetlag has been almost over and the hunger for creative activities stilled in my craft room after making some cards! Today the first one. It is really CAS. Normally I don't use just white paper, but for this card it was necessary in my opinion.

During my bloghop (I've seen a lot of beautiful cards!) I've found this challenge . Okay, I made this card before seeing the example, but well, with a bit fantasy I can use this card, don't you think? The example gives a row of three, well I didn't put them in a row, but freestyle

Hopefully I won't be disqualified...

Have a nice day!! 

Paper: Jillibean blossom soup, Bazill basics

Stamp: PTI

Ink: memento tuxedo black

others: brads, flower and circle punch
