Blue with love

The upper and lower border are created with 3 different colours of chalk inks. The frame (WMS) was embossed with white powder.

First Frost

First Christmas card this year...stamped a blue card with versamark, embossed with clear and sponged with white ink...makes a neat background! The white felt snowflake was die cut and finaly a 'happy holidays' tags was attached with some twine and a button.

Hugs&Hearts

A little 'support card'...PTI fancy flourishes and butterfly stamps. The butterflies have been coloured with copic markers.

Argyle

A little argyle goes a long way! Both in embossing (cuttlebug) and stamping (PTI).

Halloween Birtday Party Invitations

What you didn't see in the previous post is the layout of the card we made at the workshop. It's a fold-open-inside-message kinda card.

So when I sat down, thinking about the Bday party invitations i was going to make...I knew I wanted them to be this layout and since the party takes place on the 31st of october...wel you can guess the type off stamps that were used!

Started with black cardstock for the basic card, added some spiced-marmelade distressed white cardstock stamped with black versafine and spiced marmelade WMS halloween images and finished with the inside invitation, also from WMS.

Turned out pretty great, no?

Hero Art Clings II

The same hero arts Clings but different 'filling' technique. This was made during a workshop Elke gave. She has amazing idea's and every workshop I take, I leave with new skills!! So if you live near Antwerp, Belgium and you are in to paper crafting...you realy should take a class with her!

Poppy field

Stole this idea from a card Elke made (http://elke-verschooten.blogspot.com/). It's a Hero Arts clings stamp (poppy). This stamp creates the background and leaves the image blank. This is one way of using this stamp: stamped in frayed burlap distress ink (this colour is perfect in combo with kraft cardstock!!) and coloured the poppy's with copic marker.

Added a sentiment from WMS and embossed a dotted line with a cuttlebug embossing folder.

Musical Tag

LOOOOOOOOVE the musical background clear stamp set from WMS!!

Started with white cardstock and applied dusty concord and tea die distress ink, stamped the notes. For the sentiment I thought 'just a note' would be a nice touch! ;) So I stamped it in dusty versafine black on a dusty concord distressed piece of cardstock. The frame is also from WMS. The nestabilities die and ink are from Crafts'nThings.
