Love you bunches!

It's Spring time! Finally!


It's been quite some time since I got to play along with some challenges... but you know how it goes- life get's in the way :)
Simon says-Anything goes, and possibly with Stampendous product, so-there you have it! I've had that sunflower stamp for a long time... it's quietly sitting on my desk waiting to get invited to the party... and finally I decided to use it. It's an old stamp, but brand new for me :) I used the soft colours from the ColorThrowdown Challenge and the sketch that the Gals over at the Case This Sketch created. I created my circular focal point with the help of my image and watercoloring the background, leaving a white circular "border" around it. I LOVE Tic Tac Toe challenges! For this one I went with flower-gold-baker's twine...or green-baker's twine-bold sentiment.
Despite the fact that I'm a little bit rusty, I have to say I enjoyed creating this card and I'm quite pleased how it turned out. 
I hope you like it as well!


Stamps: Stampendous (Sunflower ladybug), Hampton Art (Handwritten sentiments)

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is in the air!

So I created this classy and elegant card for the occasion and to join the Card Concept Challenge.


I started with a lot of different stamps (that I've had forever and never used them) being piled up in a collage. Thanks to the Retro Rubber blog I am now going through a lot of old stamps and rediscovering them (or remember why I bought them on first place). Then I watercolored and penciled and that's the final result. The inspiration came from the Sunday stamps blog. I'm also joining the Simon Says Wednesday challenge

Stamps: TPCStudio (Autumn Harvest)Studio112, Inkadinkado
Ink: s.e.i.(cayenne,cumquats), Versafine(black)

Boo! It's Halloween!




IT's Halloween time!


I'm joining in today with this oh, lets face it, not so spooky card(in spite of the CASology blog challenge LOL).

The color combo came from the ColorQ Challenge Blog. The sketch is all Freshly made Sketches and the Halloween theme-that's the Paper Players Gals. I have to admit I got so inspired by the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog that I'm digging out some old stamps and showing them some love. The Flying bats is a $1 stamp that I got from Michael's about 2 or 3 years ago and somehow never used it. And it' s a pretty cool one!
