Roses and Butterfly

Image
For this card I used stamps in the background (swirls or text). The oval frame is made from a paper napkin glued on some paper to make it easier to work with. And on top I used the Detailed Butterflies dies by Tim Holtz. https://www.scrapbook.com/store/sz-661182.html This card is posted in the "garden" mixed media challenge by happy little stampers: http://www.happylittlestampers.com/search/label/Mixed%20Media%20Challenge

I've created this card for the Poppystamps "Snow day" challenge, using also the negative spaces to expand the snowflake. http://poppystamps.typepad.com/poppystamps/challenge/ Variation: With the outline on top: Dies used: Poppystamps Celeste Snowflake http://www.poppystamps.com/1860-Celeste-Snowflakes-craft-die_p_974.html http://www.poppystamps.com/1866-Celeste-Snowflakes-Outlines-craft-die_p_980.html

Peter Pan's boat

Image
This card is inspired by the "Kids Kard" challenge by Dies r Us http://diesruschallenge.blogspot.no/ As I did the colouring with water soluble Neocolor (using them as water colours) I can also post it in the water colour challenge by Happy Little Stampers. http://www.happylittlestampers.com/2018/01/hls-january-watercolour-challenge.html The idea is to show the end of the story, when the boat floats in the sky. But I also added some sea elements just for fun. I used the following dies:  "life is a journey"  by joy! crafts "Under the sea collage" by Memory box "From the sea" by Cuttlebug "Watch faces" and "Ribbon banners" by Spellbinders Shapeabilities  And I coloured it with Neocolor water soluble and metallic crayons.
