sparkle & shine

Another challenge at SimonSaysStamp.

This time sparkle & shine .

I embossed my "sketched heart"  and the "old tab" with black sparkle from Ranger.

The background paper is a leftover from Christmas cards.

All dies from Gummiapan .

"thinking if you"

 

Today it is fathers day on Sweden - the first one without my father alive. 

This card is for him - thinking of you - not only today.

I didn`t think I would have you in my mind as often as I do. We have been separated for years but now I feel you closer to me than in a very long time. Maybe because there are no borders between us anymore? 

I feel your presens every day. In a happy way. 💓

This card is made with watercolors, NeobolorsII , a die from Kesi`art (paraplui) , a stamp from Stampotique (candle) and the text from Ali Edwards. 

I join the challenge at Simonsaysstamp where the theme this week is Thinking of you.

Wishing you a lovely sunday!

Autumn tag

 

 

Inspired by the colours of autumn, Still brownish/red and not yellow. 

The rain came to dear Luxemburg and covered us total humidity. It has been raining the last 10 days and I did NOT believe I would say so BUT it is almost depressing! After this summer when we once again was longing for rain and shade I swore I would enjoy every rainy day coming up...

Anyway - the nature is happy! 

And I have my poncho, my HH trousers and my beloved wellies....it`s just so DARK!

I made this tag thinking of the blue, crispy days in between the rain. We are just in the beginning of October - I`m sure they will come.

"Höst" = Autumn in swedish.

the last calendar card for the craft barn

Finally! I did it! ...and I loved it.
To be honest, it was difficult to keep going those last couple of weeks, but here we are!!!

This last card should have something embossed according to the theme at the craft barn.

I used one of Tim Holtz' christmas embossing folders and then colored my card with distress inks. On my doily I stamped two hearts(Panduro) and embossed with christmas red to add the right colour. The bakers twine is a symbol of christmas wrapping and the stickers are just details to show how much we all would like some frosty temperatures instead of this horrid rain...

So, ladies, this is my last calendar card - I sure enjoyed the challenges and I hope to join in again next year!

I wish you all a merry christmas and I hope to meet you again in 2013!

Take care our there!
