Brrrrrr

Hello sweets,

back with a card I have made for my friend Heidi along with a quick knitted gift for Christmas. I want to show it on my blog before it gets too late since we are already thinking “Valentine” and Spring, right? Not here in Michigan… some of you might now… we have gotten severe weather conditions and I am grateful to have a home and a roof over my head for sure.

Heidi has blonde hair and I thought this pale color would look so pretty on her. The yarn is Madeline tosh Pashmina – which is already VERY luxurious, but I have also added for the extra cute effect a second strand of Rowan Kid Silk Haze yarn. It does look very dreamy and I hope she enjoys it.

Pattern is a simple one, since I was late with my gift for her and I needed this to be done within 2 days.

Here is a little detail shot of the sentiment

Stamps: Joyful Tilda
Sentiment: Stampin up
Paper: Magnolia Ink, blue swirl, pink ornaments
Dies: Magnolia Doo Hickey “So Lovely”, “Tall Firs”, “Holly”, “Snowflake 1” and snowflake 2, “frilly label”– Go Create for shape of Design Paper, Spellbinder ovals
Embellishments: lace ribbon, Hobby House flowers,
Other: Frantage, Stickles
Coloring: Copic markers, white gel pen
Tool: Heat gun, Big shot

Pattern source: Churchmouse
thanks for looking

hugs and kisses

Hello, today I have a new card I would like to share with you.

I got an email today from the lovely Sara who kindly agreed to exchange cards with me that she has received hers so I can show mine on the blog.

As I was packing the card up I was surprised how far out the butterfly wings stick out. So on the widest points I think the card might be 6.5 inches. I colored Tilda onto Bazzill kraft cardstock and colored her with Prisma Color Pencils in. For the background I used some swirl lines I saw Chris Dark doing on some of her “older” artwork to fill in areas and I always loved it, so I gave it a try too. For that I used my Copic Multiliner.

Other supplies used:

Hip Hip Hooray Tilda
Paper: Magnolia Mini papers (teal – pink)
Sentiment: Amuse Art Stamps or Penny black?! I forgot
Dies: Magnolia DooHickey heart tag, Go Create, Butterfly Joy crafts
Toos> Big Shot, heat tool
Other: flowers, button, Frantage, Gesso, gel pen, doily

Nastrovia ~ Zum Wohl ~ Cheers

Happy New Year everyone!!

Enjoy your party night!
XOXOX
