The letter C for the alpha challenge.

This is my page for the alpha challenge at the craft barn.

My letter C is for my favorite = colour.

I used  the cuttlebug, spellbinders, lots of different stamps, the Pan Pastels and the PITT artist Pens from Faber Castell.

Hope you like it!

Have fun!

Circles on my calendar card no 11

First of all - I'M SO SORRY for the bad photo. December is a "dark" month and we miss the light. Early afternoon and still no brightness. Just felt that I had to post it anyway, because tomorrow the next theme is due at the craft barn.

The theme this week was "circles".

I used my funky circles from Provocraft and I embossed the circles with an animal print from Cuttlebug and then coloured them with a distress ink.

Happy saturday!

orange, white and brown...

This is the tag I've made for the artful times.

I suppose I'm still in a halloween mood as this turned out to be a bit spooky.

The background is painted with gesso to get a texture and then with black panpastel. When it was dry I emossed with Rangers seafoam white using a crackle stamp from the swedish company YOU DO.
Tree and rings were cut out with the cuttlebug.
The gate is metal work from Prima marketing and the stamps are from technique tuesdays' Ali Edwards.

I decorated it with some facet adhesive stones and stickles and ended it all with orange bakers twine.

Have a nice sunday!

My postcard for Artful times.

I made this card for the artful times. It is the first time that I join their challenge, and it seems to be a nice one. They would like to see postcards with letters or script.
Only 2 weeks away from our last holiday, I 'm still in the traveling mood - that's why I use the word "travel".

The background is made by cut out words from My Stamp Box and Kesi' art. After the layer of gesso I sprayed some dylusion inks through a stencil from the crafters workshop.
The letters are my "slim Jim"'s, cut out with the cuttlebug, and finally, the tag is a freebie from the magazine Scrap 365.

...and - i can't help myself to get away from those colors - blue, green and orange are still my very favorites..!

Luxemburg is wet, cold and very dark this tuesday evening. Autumn did arrive at last.

Happy crafty hours!

A badge for "coloryourworld".

Hello again!

After a very busy "first -week -after -holiday", I finally got some time in the basement. Feeling a bit poorly with a sore throat and headache, that was the best place for me today!

I started this page with a lot of gesso - just love the sudden structure!
The only thing that had to be on the page was a badge and then to use the LO from color your world.
.
It made me happy to be able to use all my collected stuff in my craft room;
neocolorsII, the stamps from l'encre et l'image as well as from infocrea, distress inks, washi tapes, masks from creative expressions and the crafters workshop and the Zig" wink of stella"...

Happy sunday out there!

Christmas wishes

Just wanted to send you all the best wishes for christmas and show you one of my christmas cards this year. The idea is from Dani Rogall and I simply fell in love when I saw her own composition and I had to try myself.


The other card is one that my friend Katherine gave us this year. Katherine loves her cuttlebug and her work is always so neat and perfect - how come I can never work like that...??? ... ... ...




Enjoy!
