bored and tired of winter.... Hello Sunshine card

Hi there! Welcome back!
I hope you are all having a great week!
I've had time to make another card... thanks to long baby naps!! I really cherish those few hours when Alaia is in school and Aisha closes her eyes for a little nap.... First I make myself a cup of tea, relax for a bit and then I start crafting!

This card is for one my friends in Spain, whose birthday will be really soon.... Hence the Happy Birthday sentiment in Spanish.



The digital stamp I've used is call Pip and it's from Emerald Faeries. I've had it for such a long time (I won her in a challenge ) and I haven't had the chance to colour her until now...
I have so many stamps (digi and rubber) still waiting to be coloured and be used in a project... I seem to keep on buying and buying.. impossible to use them all! but they are so pretty I can't resist!
I will hopefully have more time for crafting and use them...

A bookmark for a friend....

Hi!!!
Today I've got something a bit different for you... the other day I was thinking about a handmade present I could send to my friend in Spain... I wanted to make something personalised and easy to send! So knowing that my friends loves reading... I decided to make a bookmark for her! I really enjoyed  making it and I know it won't be my last!



I created the tag from Kraft Card.
I printed a quote from one of my friend's favourite authors, Federico Garcia Lorca
in one of my favourite papers at the moment, from Pebbles Front Porch paper pad.

The image is from Emerald Faeries (A & T digital shop), and it's so cute!!! It's called "Bindie". I know I'm going to use it a lot for this type of projects!



I coloured the image using my Promarkers.
I used: Cocoa, Raw Sienna, Sandstone, Buttercup, Vanilla, Almond, blossom, Leaf Green, Cornflower, lavender, Poppy, Moss, Cool Grey 1, tulip yellow

I inked the sky with a blue ink pad.

The letters for my friend's name are from Do Crafts Papermania Madame Payraud's mini alphabet stickers.

I inked around the bookmark with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Tea Dye and with normal blue ink pad. 

I used some Script washi tape at the top to blend the paper with the kraft paper.

I finished off with a bit of gold string I've had in my stash for ages.

I also covered the whole bookmark with Americana Matte Varnish, to make the bookmark sturdy and to protect it. 

I really love how it ended up!

I would like to enter my bookmark in the following challenges:

Crafting by Designs - April Monthly challenge AG
Crafts 4 eternity #170 - Anything but a card
Crafty Calendar challenge  - Things with wings
Crafty Hazelnut't Patterned Paper Challenge - April AG with Patterned paper
I love Promarkers #213 - Clean and simple
Just inspirational monthly challenge - Family and Friends (bookmark made for my friend)

A New baby card with a twist!

Hello! First of all I would like to welcome my new followers, who have decided to come aboard my crazy train!!!! Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy my crafty ride!!! (not sure why I'm talking about trains and rides, but hopefully you get what I'm trying to say!!!!) 

can you believe is Wednesday already? time flies at the moment.... really busy, trying to get things done (crafty and non-crafty). I'm not complaining though... I love being busy, between my family life, my crafting, writing the blog (it takes me forever to write these few lines... I don't think I'm really easy with words, but I try!).
We are going away for the weekend, which I'm really looking forward to... We are going to Aberdeen to visit friends. I haven't seen them for a few months and we really need a catch up!  I will still have one of my DT cards ready and scheduled to be published on Sunday though... so you won't miss me so much!!! (you are not getting rid of me so easily!!!).

Today I've got a New Baby card for you, but with a twist! It's not blue, it's not pink.... it's green, and yellow, and orange!!!! confusing? yeah! I just wanted to push myself and use my "difficult" colours (meaning, colours I don't usually use and I find difficult to work with...) 
After my CAS card on Monday, I really missed my layers and embellishments, so I went full on with them!!! 


Another thing I'm really happy about... I  found this company with amazing digis, full of the cutest fairies ever! and I bought my first (but for sure, not last) digi from them... isn't this baby fairy the cutest? it's called "Ashee" from Emerald Faeries Garden Stamps.

The papers I've used are from: K&company, Crate Paper Little Bo Peep, Raspberry Road Designs "Love Lives Here"  and a bit of scrap.

I hand stitched around the papers, in alternate layers and distressed with Tim Holtz distress ink pad in Old Paper and Antique Linen (for the main image).








I coloured the cute image with my Promarkers.

I used: Peach, soft Peach, mustard, buttercup, ivory, vanilla, almond, blossom, lime zest, leaf green, Cool grey 4,3,2 and 1, honeycombe, coral, sandstone and blender pen.













To decorate the card I used:

La la land hearts banner
Sizzix doily border die
butterfly punch
Pearls from Wild Orchid Crafts
Paper Doily
Button, lace and ribbon are from local shops.
The felt flower and leaves have been in my stash for years, but I think I got them from The Works.

I created the sentiment on my computer using "I love what you do!!" font.

I hope you like my New Baby card with a twist!





I'm entering this card into the following challenges (in alphabetical order)

613 Avenue Create #57 - Anything goes /optional twist use felt (flowers and leaves are made of felt)2nd entry
As you like it - Showcase and explain yoour favourite style (my favourite style is layers,I just like to chose different papers to match each other and build the layers in different ways and layouts!!! the more layers the happier I am!)
Feeling Crafty #25 - Dies and/or Punches (banner, doily border and butterfly)
Papertake Weekly - Anything goes - optional extra make a shaped card (scallop square)
Penny's challenge #163 - Something old and something new (sth.old: felt flowers, K&company paper,butterfly punch; sth. new: new baby, new digital stamp, banner die is one-month old only)
