Reach for the moon...

... even if you miss you will land among the stars'.


Hi everyone and happy Friday :)


I have been absent from my blog for some days this week (the post on Wednesday was a scheduled one), because I have been sick with diarrhea and vomiting combined :-/


Luckily, I feel a bit better today and so I had a little bit extra time to color one of the newly released digi stamps from Crafts and Me. I colored this beautiful stamp called 'The Infinite Star' and made this card.

***sorry, have to put it down for the next month because the card will be published in Scrapbook News and Review magazine***
The pictures will be back up in July 



The paper is from a digital paper pack called 'Laitha's Follow Your Dreams Paper Pack'


The black corner in the lower left is a die cutting file for the Silhouette machine from Samantha Walker, the black swirl on the right side is a die cut from QuicKutz that I used with my Big Shot


here are a few close ups:


I really had a blast creating this card :)

  17. Hi Sylvia!

    This card is absolutely stunning! Beautiful image which you have coloured so fantasticly. Love it!

    Thanks for the sweet comment you posted for me in the crafts and me blog. I really appreciate it. I am so glad you liked my card. You were wondering about the icing on top of the flower. This is a pre-made Prima rose, so i haven`t done anything to it. But you have the possibility to make this kind of flower yourself or just alter a finished flower to look like this. The icy stuff is called diamond dust. It should be possible to get it online from the US or the UK. Maybe in your country too.

    Hugs...Mona

  25. This is an awesome piece of work. I love everything about it so I don't even know where to start. I spent some time just scrutinizing it and every detail is so well thought out and works together. You did a marvelous job coloring it - your perfect shading gives it such wonderful dimension -the stonework around the window looks almost real. Love the gorgeous black die cuts and I'm glad you enabled me with the link to digital paper site! So happy you joined in the fun with us this week at Simon Says Stamp and Show!
