Hello

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card I have made for the challenge at https://aaacards.blogspot.com/ which is 'corner' plus optional twist 'cosy'. It is a Kaiser Craft clear stamp that has been used here and the image has been coloured with Lyra pencils. Distress ink has been used to sponge the corners of the image. 

The bow is hand tied and the sentiment is handwritten. The layer beneath the image was painted with acrylics and the sentiment was written on the same paper.

 I will participate in the following challenges:

Happy Birthday

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is a card to show you which has been made with snippets lying on my table. The designer paper is a Singapore brand while the embossing folder is a Tim Holtz one. The baker's twine and ribbon are from my stash. The gifts were propped on thick cardboard to give them dimension. The sentiment is handwritten and yes, the thin white strip right on top the card was stuck to hide a boo boo.

 I will take part in the following challenges:

Best wishes

 Dear bloggers,

The clear stamp that I have used on this card is from Kaiser Craft and I have coloured the image with my daughter's colour pencils. The designer papers are from my stash. A Kaiser Craft die has been used to cut the sentiment which was coloured with Pentel watercolours after being die cut. 

There was a boo boo on the right hand side of the card hence I had to do some bandaging with the designer paper on both sides to make it appear symmetrical. 

I will take part in the following challenges:

Partly recycled thank you card

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card that has been made from the packaging of "Merci" chocolates and a Kleenex tissue box. The slim layer on the very top is fancy washi tape. I quite like the stylishness of this card.

You are my happy

Hello bloggers,

I put together this card today. The die cut was a piece of kraft packaging and I went over it with green acrylic paint and gold poster colour. It was many months ago so I am not sure what I did. The layer below was done with an embossing folder with a blank oval in its centre. I positioned the die cut in a way that it would cover up the oval. 

 I will participate in the following challenges:

 Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card made with watercolour paper and some kind of smoosh with brush markers. The sentiment is a negative layered over black cardstock and propped up on recycled cardboard. I think I could have added something more to this card but let it be the way it is.
