{DT} - Fairy At Sunset

Hi my sweet blogging friends and happy Wednesday :-)


Oh my goodness.. it's sooooo hot over here.. around 35°C (95°F) during the last days (with high humidity) ...*phew*... feels like we are melting away, soon!!!


But anyway.. 'the show must go on' *lol* and here's a card with one of the wonderful and unique stamp images from Jasmine Becket-Griffith available at Crafts and Me! The image I used here on this card is 'Fairy at Sunset' and I think she's super adorable! Love here whirlwind of hair and her dress made from leaves :-)


 

 I put some Stardust Stickles on her wings and took the picture while the glitter glue was still wet.. so the sparkle is more subtle now IRL than it looks here on the photo. Maybe I'll get a chance to take another picture of it... (but can't promise, because my eldest sons are in Rome and they have taken my little digi cam with them. So I only have my Canon 1000D here to take photos and I guess I have to charge the battery first *lol*)


The sentiment is from a last years store stamp set released by Whiff of Joy while I was a guest DT member for them :-)


Now I hope for a little cooling-down today (it looks like a thunderstorm is coming toda) and hope to see you again soon!


Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a peek at my work :-)
And if you would be so generous to leave a comment I would be really happy, because your comments are always very much appreciated! :-)))

Life's Good

Hi everyone and happy Sunday :)

Today is my birthday ... my 39th .... for the 4th time now (shhh.. don't tell someone else ;-) ) and I had a little bit time left over and created this card for the current 'CAS' challenge at The Outlawz (this time it's a receipe challenge)

The patterned paper is from an older series of Dream Street Papers called 'Baylee's Garden' .. and even though it's an old and retired collection, I still love it :)  Stamps are from Whiff of Joy (image and sentiment, both released last year in summer).The image is 'Willow with Coffee 2 Go' and is also available at Crafts and Me here

The image was colored with Tombow Dual Brush pens and Mondeluz watercolor pencils.
Then I cut the lady out and put her on some foam pads for dimension.

I also pierced the patterned paper on the left side (I just pierced on the huge flower's faux stitching.. can you see it? I hope so...) To dress it up a little I also used a button and some bakers twine I found in my stash

Hope you like my little card a bit :)

challenges:

• Corrosive Challenges #119 (Summer Colours)
• Crafty Hos (Summer)
• Creative Cowgirls (Summer)
• Dream Valley #8 (Stamp Something - no digi stamps allowed)
• Sweet Stamping (Summer)

here comes my second post for today... to see my first one (a vintage card for a first day at school) please scroll down :)

hier kommt mein zweites Posting für heute.. um das erste (eine Vintage Karte zum Schulanfang) zu sehen, bitte runterscrollen :)

For this card I stamped the kitty with his little snail friend twice: Once directly onto the card and a second time onto watercolor paper. I colored the second print with Tombows and watercolor pencils, then cut it out and put it on the card using foam tape.

Für diese Karte habe ich das Kätzchen mit seinem Schneckenfreund zweimal gestempelt: Einmal direkt auf die Karte und ein zweites Mal auf Aquarellpapier. Den zweiten Abdruck habe ich mit Tombows und Aquarellstiften koloriert, konturengenau ausgeschnitten und mit 3D Pads auf die Karte gesetzt.

And as I told you some times before in my recent posts, there's a challenge going on at Moxie Fab World regarding different card styles. So I think this one fits for the 'Fun and Cute' style.

Whiff of Joy: new summer stamps, sale and GDT call

 

Whiff of Joy has some new and adorable summer stamps and this is a card I made using some of these new images.  I used 'Sailor Willow' and the 'Beach Chair' as well as the starfishes and text from the July Store Kit to create this little beach scenery :) The background papers and the sun are from a digital scrapbooking kit. I cut out the sun trimming closely (*phew*..*lol*). The starfishes are colored, cut out trimming closely and I put two of them onto foam dots to make them pop and give the whole card a little more dimension.

Bei Whiff of Joy gibt es einige neue und wunderschöne Sommer Stempel und diese Karte habe ich mit einigen dieser neuen Motive gemacht. Um diese kleine Strandszene zu kreieren habe ich 'Matrose Willow' , den 'Strandkorb' sowie die Seesterne und den Text aus dem Juli Shop Stempel Kit benutzt. Die Hintergrundpapiere und die Sonne oben rechts sind aus einem digitalen Scrapbook Kit. Die Sonne habe ich konturengenau ausgeschnitten (*puh*..*lol*) und genauso habe ich es mit den Seesternen gemacht: Koloriert und ausgeschnitten. Zwei davon habe ich dann auf 3D Pads gesetzt um dem Ganzen etwas mehr Dimension und Tiefe zu verleihen.

Sweet Hello - Phindys Challenge: Red, White and Blue

Good morning everyone :)
Wow.. it's so super hot over here during the last week or so... it feels like I'm going to melt away *lol*

But anyway.. I sat down on my crafting table and made a card with another image of the super cute 'Summer Cuties' Phindy released recently  :)

And woweee... I hardly can believe it but we are at challenge #12 at Phindys Challenge this week!
 In honor of the upcoming 4th of July we want to see RED, WHITE and BLUE on your cards
It does not have to be a holiday card (I did not do one either, because I'm German ;) )

Einen wunderschönen Guten Morgen Euch Allen :)

Wow.. hier ist es schon die ganze letzte Woche so super heiß, das ich das Gefühl habe jeden Moment weg zu schmelzen *lol*

Aber trotzdem habe ich mich an meinen Basteltisch gesetzt und eine Karte mit einem der oberherzigen 'Summer Cuties' gemacht, die Phindy kürzlich veröffentlicht hat :)

Und uiuiuiuiiiiiii... Ich kann's kaum glauben aber wir sind bereits bei Challenge #12 angekommen bei Phindys Challenges!

Da in den USA am  Sonntag der 4.Juli gefeiert wird, möchten wir diese Woche gerne Karten in ROT, BLAU und WEISS sehen

Whiff of Joy GDT - Lazy Summer Days

I made this summer card using some of the stamps from the new Whiff of Joy June Stamp Kit called 'Fun in the Sun'.This new kit comes on cling mount in a CD jewel case for easy storage and it's 11 stamps for only 15 Euros! How cool is that?!

Diese Karte habe ich mit einigen der Stempel aus dem neuen Whiff of Joy Juni Stempel Kit namens 'Fun in the Sun' gemacht. Das neue Kit kommt bereits auf EZ Mount montiert in einer CD Hülle zur einfachen Aufbewahrung und kostet für 11 Stempel nur 15 Euro! Wie genial ist das denn?!

I stamped the boy and girl images, colored them and then cut them out trimming closely. I put the girl on pop dots to give the card more depth.. unfortunately you cannot see this very good in this picture.. but it looks really pretty IRL 

Ich habe den Jungen und das Mädchen abgestempelt, coloriert und dann anschliessend konturengenau ausgeschnitten. Ich habe das Mädel mit 3D pads hervorgehoben, damit das Ganze etwas mehr "Tiefe" bekommt.. leider kann man das nicht so gut auf dem Bild erkennen.. aber es sieht wirklich ganz nett aus in Natura 

I'm going to enter this card into this weeks A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge #108 (Enjoying the Sunshine)

Love Grows Happiness: Whiff of Joy Guest DT call

Katharina, the owner of  Whiff of Joy is having a guest design team call this week and I said to myself: "Have a go!" *grin* So here's my card using the adorable angel Melinda and the colors red and orange (and yellow as my third color)

I colored her wings using Twinklings H2O in heavenly white that gives a nice subtle shimmer, that you unfortunately cannot see in the pictures :o( I also used a bit of Sakura Stardust clear glitter gel pen to highlight portions of the accents on her trousers and on the heart.. just a teeny tiny bit...  looks really pretty in real life ;o)

I used the sketch over at Practical Scrappers as inspiration - a great sketch! - thanks :)
