Hello

"Hello" - today I would like to show you a card made for Arty Girlz Challenge Blog. The challenge for this week is to use anything round on the project. My card uses round pearls, the flower, the round sentiment and the new Polka Dot CB embossing folder.

Tilda was like Edwin yesterday watercolored with my SU inkpads and an aquapainter. I used a prismacolor pencil for the hearts. On her wings is Diamond Stickles. I think it doesnt show well on the picture but overall the card is pretty girly :-)

Shy Edwin

I love this little Edwin soooo much. When i saw him in my Magnolia DT package i was really almost jumping up and down :-) I have two little boys and he will be so adorable on many comming cards for my family.
This card was made for an another amazing sketch over at ISMAKI!

To color Edwin i went back to my roots when i did not own all these fancy and expensive coloring mediums like markers and Prismacolor pencils. He was simply watercolored with my Stampin Up inkpads and an aquapainter. It was a lot of fun. But at the end i think i should have been braver with the blue for the sky.

Stamps: Magnolia and Stampin up for sentiment
Tools: Nestabilites and SU Punches
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Purely Promegranate, My Minds Eye DP
Embellishments: Antique Brads
Coloring: Inkpads, White Signo Gel Pen, Chocolate Chip for sentiment

Feeling A Little Hoarse?

The task on this weeks Magnolia Challenge blog is to create a "Get Well" project. I wanted to use the new Magnolia stamps. So i thought horse... hmm.. hoarse... and i got it. So i wanted to give some tea and some cough candy. But it did not work out what i had in mind. However i was able to incooperate my tea bag in the card :-) and instead of cough drops i will give chocolate. Hey.. who doesnt like good chocolate when you are sick in bed?! There are other days to count the calories.

The tea bag tag is decorated with the little horse of the new Magnolia line, isnt he cute?! Around the horse are some dragonflies.. i thought that was kind of funny.. i used to horseback riding back in Germany and when horses are outside on the field there are ALWAYS lots of flies :-) The dragonflies are stampes on a piece of acetate and cut out. I left a tiny bit of triangle shape on the bottom so i was able to attach this piece behind the horse and the glue is not visible. On the wings of the dragonflies is stickles. Love btw my new Cuttlebug embossing folders - on this card i used the new paisley folder.The heartshaped praline box is stamped on Shimmery White CS (even my husband was looking closely at this and asked how i added the shimmer) looks really soft. Tomorrow there will be no card on my blog i think it is time for a new crafty project. I will show you how to make this cute box. You can use this for chocolate, tea bags, put Prima Flowers inside for your crafting girl friend.

Thanks for stopping by today. I can not wait to see what you come up with. Next week is school again and i should have more time for blog hopping :-)
