Wedding card with some metal

Over at Simon Say Stamp and Show the challenge of the week is to use some metal on your creation.

I made a card for my friends' wedding. This is not only a card but their present in the same time. 

I used a lot of different things to make this card. Firts I downloaded some old vintage advertisments about travelling to Ireland and also a pic of a pub ( thanks for those who shared them). I edited these into a 6x6 square and printed them. This is the background of the front of the card.

 

The front is all about travel and journey, because my wedding gift for the couple is a short visit to Dublin.

I made the flower with the TH die and put some metal pieces in the middle to make it like a compass.

The inside of the card is quite simpe, I just put their name, destination, and time as it was a flight ticket.

I used DP from K&Co and also Making Memories. Distress Inks: Rusted Hinge, Brushed Corduroy, VIntage Photo. Text is written with my calligraphy pen.

I hope you like this idea, thanks for visiting me.

Basic Grey - Sparkles

Over at Basic Grey Challenge the theme is: Sparkle. I made this crad using the Eskimo kisses collection. This is a very simple card, no paper layering, not too many embellies. I saw the ruffled ribbon idea somewhere on the internet and I had to give it a try.

The little letter are cut with a Tim Holtz die and I got them in a die-cut swap. Coloured them with Pine Needles distress ink and covered it with stickles.

By the way this is the next card in my Christmas card collection for this year.

I hope you like it, thanks for visiting me,

Just Magnolia - 2x2

Hi Everyone, I am back with a card that I made during the weekend. As I said I had to hurry up with Christmas cards so I made this with a Christmassy Tilda ( I don't know her name). She is from last year's collection.

I followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday, but rotated it. I am entering this card to Just Magnolia 2x2 challenge too.

I used two patterned paper, two little blings in the corners and two tags. The papers are from Magnolia also from last years collection. The ponsettia and the tags are from Coredination white wash papers. Ponsettia was cut with a die and the tags I cut out with scissors. Tilda is coloured with distress inks.

I am also entering this to Magnolia Down Under Challenge where the theme is Tag it!. That's why I put two tags on the card. :-D

I hope you like it, thanks for stopping by,

Simon Says Challenge - Halloween

Just a quick Halloween card I made and entering to the Halloween theme challenge over at Simon Says Challenge blog. I used Pink Paislee Twilight collection paper. There is no stamping on, cause I left space inside for photo, so the one who'll receive it can put a Halloween-y photo in it.So this is it when open:

Scrapzville Swap - September

Over at Scrapzville the theme for the monthly swap was a toilet-roll minialbum with a twist to use fairy on the projects. Since my partner already received it I can show it to you now.

I haven't got anything fairy, so I decided to make the mini-album and then figure out how to incorporate a fairy into it.

This is what I came up with:

I used Prima Youth collection papers, and I thought Urban Fairy would be a good name for the mini. I made a little fairy from shrink plastic. The binding is from and old notebook, just reorganised the wires and it became a perfect binding for this album. I kept the inside plain, cause since it is made from toiletroll there aren't too many space in it. If you want to have a deatiled look go to this picasa webalbum.

This is it for today, I hope you like it, thanks for having a look.

Whiff of Joy - Jane's Sketch

Hi everyone, I hope you all have a great weekend. I started to do my Christmas cards, I have done two already. This one is following Jane's Sketch over at WOJ.

I used the Bo Bunny papers which I got free with a magazine, I had to tone the background paper down with a bit of white acrylic, because it was too bright. I made a big ponsettia with my new dies to decorate the base of the easel card. The WOJ image is coloured with Promarkers

This is my second Christmas card this year and have another good few to do ( about twenty), so better hurry 'cause there's only two month left.

I hope you like this one, thanks for visiting,

Squirell picnic

Hi everyone,

I had a great crafty weekend, I have made so many things which I can not show just now. There is one card I'd like to show anyhow. This is an autumn themed card and I got the idea from the Craft Stamper magazine. I never met Squiggle Stamps before and I fell in love with them.

I have used Basic Grey papers for all the background and the trees.

The girl, the squirrel and the fence are digital images and colourde them with markers. I was free hand drawing the trees myself, I am very happy how it turned out.

I am entering this card into Simon Says Challenge where the theme is for the week is autumn.

I hope you like it, thanks for looking
