Easter is Coming Soon

... and I am hopelessly behind with everything (sigh) ... there is a reason for it, though. For a few days now I have been battling with my craftroom or better with the contents of it. I didn't know that I have so many things in there! Normally it is not a problem but as we get a few visitors very soon this room will be used as bedroom .... and amongst all the tidying up, throwing away I also seem to have lost my mojo! If somebody finds it, I would be very happy to get it back (lol). This is a card which has been sitting on my desk for almost a week waiting for the finishing touches ... have a good start into the new week, Petra.

paper: cosmo cricket, stamp: Hein Design and Elzybells

Sketchy Blue/Green

A little card for a special birthday boy
Lots of dots and buttons based on a sketch from s'Sketches
and a colour scheme from Der/Die/Das Blog von Bawion: Blue/Green
The papers are from Digital Design House, the sentiment stamp from Impression Obsessions and the bird stamps were a magazine freebie which I coloured with colour pencils. Have a lovely day, Petra.

Sketchy Valentine!

My first Valentine card this year ... It is based on a sketch from s'Sketches which I rotated by 90 degress
The card base is red card from Bazill Basics, patterend papers, stamps and some of the ribbons are from Eline Pellinkhof. It is the first time I used her paper and I like the vintage feel of it a lot. The edges of the paper are lightly distressed with Ranger distress ink. I found the sweet little image at Marie's Freebies. Have a great weekend, Petra.

B for Baby

Hope you had a wonderful first day in the new decade. Do you have any New Year resolutions, crafty ones? Well, normally I try not to because after a while I realise that it seems to disappear in non-being (lol). But this year my crafty New Year's resolutions is to create pieces from time to time which I feel quite uncomfortable with ... the style, the theme, the colour, the technique, the shape. I started straight away today with a Baby girl card ... I don't do baby cards very often especially the ones of the pink variety. Cards still feel awkward at times and I am not so sure about the Shabby Chic style. Luckily I found a really appealing sketch for the card layout over at s'Sketches ... it is their bonus sketch ... and combined it with the Shabby Tearoom colours

Supplies:

paper - plain white card, Basic Grey, My Mind's Eye, Kars
stamps - Heyda, Elzybells
ink - Brilliance Ink
flowers - Prima
gem - Kanban
Stickles
ribbons from my stash
Tim Holtz Sizzix Die

I cut the shape of the card with the sizzix die, the patterned papers are sewn together and the edges distressed with chalk. For the image I used an Elzybells stamp and did some paper piecing. The 'B' for baby - my sentiment - is stamped, cut out and glittered. Finally I added some flowers ... yes, I know mayby a couple too many ... but once I started I just couldn't stop .... luckily I ran out of the little ones (lol)
Have a great weekend with lots of crafting, Petra.
