Ticket For A Fun Time

huuurraa.... Bea and Carole are back from their vaccation! Boy, i was totally missing both of them :-) I was chatting with Carole yesterday about 1 hour on the phone :-) Iam so happy that i made so many good friends trough my blog!
I made this card using a sketch Bea created just before she went to Switzerland. I love her sketches so of course i had to give this one a try too. I love on her own card how she managed to incoperate one more patterend paper on the top - but i wanted to use her sketch for my Rasberry Ribbons DT card and if i used more DP the gorgeous polka dot ribbon would have not showed as well.
Here is a close up picture so you can see two of the patternend ribbons you will recieve in the new lilac Ribbon kit.
Sentiment: Hero Arts clear stamp
Ribbons: Rasberry Ribbon "Loving Lilacs"
Designer Paper: Basic Grey

Roses in Winter

Oh i have not watercolored for so long. I love the effect you can get with Distress inks or Stampin up reinkers- i like to use my Copics because they are just faster but some images i think they just look better with watercolors. The frame i used on my card was found at Archivers. It is hard to tell on the picture but is a shimmery paper - it looks really pretty.
Sentiment: Stampin up! "Roses in Winter" retiered
Coloring: Stampin up re-inker
Embellishments: Making Memories antique brads and Stampin up Mellow Moss grosgrain ribbon
Paper and frame: My Minds Eye, CS: Stampin up Mellow Moss, Very Vanilla
Tools: Ticket Corner punch

I was just vistiting some blogs and i saw some fabulous blog candy out there i would like to tell you about first my friend and former DT member of Magnolia and the Friday Sketchers Hilde is celebrating with candy and Scossie Jane from Australia has 10.000 hits to celebrate with fabulous stamps!

This card is sold to Crissy! Thank you so much! Vielen herzlichen Dank liebe Christine!

Sweet

Some of you may have seen this card already on the Rasberry Ribbon site. Due date for my DT cards was like the 28. of July. You can now order this fabulous new kit from the site. Oh these ribbons are sooo gorgeous. The colors work for fall, summer and winter cards. I hope i showed this with my cards i created for this month. I reall try hard to show this in my DT cards how versatile stamps or supplies can be.

For my card.. boy i was sooo close to color Tildas dress ( in a lovely pink but than when i picked the prima flowers i thought.. hmmm.. i could go with that purpule thats on the outer edge of the flower. Defenetly was hard at first but i like how it turned out. The blue paper on the card with the bubbles is kind of different.. the bubbles are made with a very soft flocking. :-) All the papers i used on this card can be found at Archivers.

Stamps: Summer Sea Collection
Sentiment: retired SU set.
Papers: from Archivers (do not remember the brand)

I have soooo many RAK cards i need to show you but i still need to foto edit them so instead of cards I would love you to check out Claudia's fantastic work. I think most of the blogging friends know her for certain because she leaves on so many blogs the kindest and sweetes comments. Thank you Claudia!!!

You Did It!

Edit to add: Thank you so very much Clotilde for purchasing this card. I will ship tomorrow to your adress.

Are you ready for the weekend? If you have some time to play with your stamps - maybe you want to join us over on the Friday Sketcher blog? Kimmie came up with a FABULOUS sketch - make sure to look at her personal blog too, cause she shows there on more than just one sample how fun and versatile this sketch is!!

As you can tell.. iam already totally into fall and winter card mood :-). Aaaahhh.. i need to go switch and use my summer stamps before it is too late.. i still have a few darling summer Alota and Magnolia stamps i have not used enough. The stores do not even have winter paper out yet.. this is a piece that was left from last year. It is Basic grey "Friddy Pudding" (or so :-)
Here is a close up shot of the card cause it was hard to get that sparkle of this card onto picture. i added Stickles to the scallops to make them sparkle and Dazzeling Diamond Dust is in the szenery. The pond were Tilda is skating on is filled with Paper Glaze to make it look like it is frozen. Love this kind of patterend skirt Tilda is wearing, i think Paris Tilda has the same one.
Now for the supplies
Stamps: Magnolia
DP and CS: Basic Grey and Stampin up
Ribbon: Stampin up: brown polytwill and rasberry ribbons for the icy blue (Paisley Kit)
Embellishments: Stampin up Hodgepodge (retiered), Dazzeling Diamond Dust, Paper Glaze, Stickles
Sentiment: Computer generated
