Beauty on the rock :)

Hello, hello my crafty friends!!!

Today - little DT card with Mermaid in rock from Kinda Cute by Patricia.

She's lovely creature to colour - you can stick with simple colouring or experiment - up to you!

I wanted my card simple, but with kinda texture,  depth...

So... I placed my mermaid bit behind the waves.

As she looks so nostalgic I decided to use 'Thinking of you' sentiment stamped on patterned paper I choose for basic layer.

What do you think about this card?

Papercraft Business Challenge DT Call

Hiya,

Today bit different post - my answer for DT call.

********************

My name's Monika and I'm crafting for about 10+ years now (cardmaking, jewellery making). Crafting is my hobby, but also something we can make together with my 5yo son. Was great to realized one day that I'm 'artistic soul' not only by admiring art, but also by being kinda part of it through colouring, sticking things together.

I love challenges and being part of Papercraft Business Challenge DT could be another step to playing more with papers, stamps, pencils etc. I am already in 2 DT teams and I love it.

Below, few of my cards:

Beautiful image called Free Spring from Ching Chou Kuik

Thankful Heart (freebie) from TiddlyInks

Gnomes from Enchanted Corner freebie set from Papercraft Essential magazine

Bella with gift from Conie Fong on one of my ATC cards

My first DT card for Kinda Cute by Patricia with image called Stork and Elephant.

You can find them all here in my blog.

That's all for today :)

Mermaid in shell

Hello Crafters!!!!

Today I have for you my second DT card for Kinda Cute by Patricia.

We love mermaids, so... Patricia's cutie below! I love this little beauty :)

You can find her here: http://kindacutebypatricia.com/mermaid-in-shell-digital-stamp/.

I decided to make CAS card with bit of sparkle. 

For my project I used: 3 patterned papers, silver mirri card, bit of glitter glue in different colours and bow made from silver ribbon.

To colour image I used Artist's Loft pencils: ivory, golden yellow, lemon yellow, light orange, lavender, dark pink, ocean blue, spring bud and gold.

Edges of image and sentiment I shaded lightly with blue pencil.

Mermaid and step panel card

Hi crafty friends!

Have to say I'm very rarely making other cards then square... Today's card is my first attempt with step panel fold.

For this card I used patterned papers from Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine free gift and beautiful mermaid called Liliana created by Conie Fong

You can find her here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/293138661/sale-digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp?ref=shop_home_active_49

Easy tutorial for this kind of card I found in issue 168 of Quick Cards Made Easy magazine.

I need to say I had fun with working on this card, to have all correct panels decorated and all properly stick together.

Glitter glue is my latest crazy addiction as you all can see :)

I wanted my card to be decorated with things which are screaming: SUMMERTIME!  - hope my embellishments choice is at least good :).

Little piece of blue sea glass and shell charm :) Plus few gems near sentiment.

I like how my card turned out. What do you think?

Summer birthday

Hello my crafty friends!!! Hope you have brilliant week 😊.

Today Summery birthday card for sea theme and mermaids lovers.

I am blue addict and Summer for me is connected with sea and beach and... stop 😊, to the point woman!

My today's little project is blue/turquoise CAS card with gorgeous mermaid image from Saturated Canary.

I decided to be minimalistic when colouring my mermaid and used only two colours: olive and spring bud (Artist's Loft pencils). I layered image on piece of turquoise cardstock. 

For this card I used 2 patterned papers from Crelando paper pack called 'Summer' (in the UK you could find it in Lidl shops).

As kinda colouristic accent is added piece of bright dotted orange ribbon.

To finish my card I added nice sentiment from free gift stamp set 'Mermaid Wishes' from latest issue of Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine.

What do you think about this card?

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Beauties of the Sea

Hiya Crafties!!!

Oh yes my friends! Mermaids again!

Why? May Challenge at Ching Chou Kuik's Facebook group :).

Believe it or not, for this challenge we have plenty of beautiful images to choose from! Just check mermaid section in Ching's etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/gjzcck?section_id=15928892.

For my card I decided to use image called: Free Spring (here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/500658045/free-spring-instant-download-digital?ref=shop_home_active_20).

I wanted my mermaid to have this kind of vintage look, more sea like coloured... hope I successed :)

I used 3 patterned papers in bluish/creamy/beige/brown colour combo. All three pieces I distressed with scissors and inked edges with brown ink.

I coloured my mermaid with pencils - used: gold, olive, ivory, spring bud, emerald green, golden yellow, light brown, yellow clay and yellow green. I also distressed image with scissors and inked it.

To be honest with you I'm not using laces in my cards often, but this time I decided that combo of white lace and two tone beige ribbon will work nicely on my new project - right side of card.

My sentiment (from Sweet Dixie) I placed of bottom left corner, then add 3 green gems on left top corner.

And what do you think about my Beauty of the Sea?

Till next post friends!!!

Ariela

Hiya Crafties!

We love mermaids - me and my little boy :)

Today's card then is simple, girlish card with ....mermaid, of course :)

So.... meet Ariela - beautiful image created by Conie Fong - you can find her here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/477134937/digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp?ref=shop_home_active_27.

I coloured this beauty with pencils (Artist's loft), layer her on squarish die-cut piece I found in my stash which I shaded lightly with pink pencil. 

For layers I used few pieces of turquoise paper and 2 patterned papers. 

For my sentiment - clear stamp from 'Riverbank Revels' set created by Helz Cuppleditch.

For extra touch - light pink organza ribbon and pink gems. 

That's all for today friends!

Till next post!

Little mermaid

This card was a challenge for me! Really!

It is not easy to make a card which suppose to be an INSPIRATION!

I'm not joking...

So... Little bit about my second DT card for Conie Fong Art & Design :)

I used cute image of mermaid called: Flowers on the Beach.

Like this image? You can have it from Conie's etsy shop, link to this beauty here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/266437213/digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp?ref=shop_home_active_29.

For layers I used dark purple paper and rainbow coloured geometrical paper I found hidden deep in my stash :). Also decided to use Die'Sire Mini Victoriana die on one of layers to softened a bit whole card.

Choosing a sentiment wasn't easy part too :) I was between three different, but 'Follow your Dreams' kind of match image and my general idea of 'inspiration' part :). I add bit of colouring to the sentiment as you can see on pics above.

For colouring I used pencils, as always :)

Hope you like this card.

Till next post friends!
