Hi everyone and happy Wednesday :)

We have a new challenge starting as of today at Crafts and Me Challenges.This week the amazingly talented Angela is hosting the challenge and she chose

Distress/Vintage

Ohhhh... this is just perfect for me.. I soooo love distressing :-)

I used the adorable 'Rachel Anderson's Lily of the Valley' stamp available at Crafts and Me

I really did a LOT of distressing on this card ;-)

Not only did I distress all the paper edges (the design paper is from the digi paper pack called 'drip-drop {the papers}' by Joyful Heart Designs available at The Digichick). But I also used Gesso and Distress inks to distress the papers further more, and also the paper flowers and even the twine :)

The sentiment is from the new 'Everyday Mini Postage Stamps' set by Whimsy Stamps. I stamped the 'magical' sentiment, cut out the inner rectangle and then die cut a piece of black cardstock using the coordinating 'Mini Postage Stamp Die' by Whimsy Stamps

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:
