Papirnato Srce

I used Distress Ink colors: Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold, Tattered Rose, Victorian Velvet and Old Paper and gold flakes for added interest on the card. Entered in: Craft-alnica Izziv 340: Poletne barve Where I am proud to be chosen as  Bastel Traum Challenge 125 - Vacation   #btchallenge125  

  For the card I combined two sets of MFT stamps:  Mermazing  and  BB Drink up the sunshine  which I stamped with Copic friendly ink. I usually go for  Memento - Tuxedo Black.  Then I colored them with Copic markers. I used  Distress Inks and Oxides  Salvaged Patina, Broken China, Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch for the sea, Vintage Photo for land which I applied with a blending tool. On the bottom panel I used the technique where I put a stencil over the inked background and lightly wipe it with a baby wipe to remove a little bit of the ink to create the bubbles. I lightly stencilled the clouds on a top folding white card panel (they are not well visible on the photo). I finished off the card with holographic frames, a sentiment from Mermazing stamp set and pearlescent half pearls. For stamping sentiments I prefer the  Versafine Onyx Black ink . I hope to sea you on my blog again soon! Entering in  Vesela hi...

When your kids are away and you want them to know they are loved no matter where they are and how long they're gone. Or it's one of those weeks when you feel you're only there to nag them from morning 'till evening and forget to tell them how wonderful they really are.  It is one of the simplest cards I ever made, but so honest. The pandas and little heart are from my kids' sticker set. I set them on a background of die-cut leaves and Distress Oxide Ink Worn Lipstick . Just added a heat embossed sentiment from MFT Magical Dragons  stamp set and it was ready for my little recipients. I am entering the card in  MFT Color Challenge 188

Sending happy mail, full of love...  For this card I stamped a background stamp with envelopes on a piece of white card stock, then heat embossed it with Nuvo Fine Embossing powder - Copper blush . I added shading with  Distress Ink - Vintage Photo  and then distressed the edges with a distressing tool. I embellished the background with just a plain kraft paper die-cut from  Sizzix Bigz - Hearts #4  which I wrapped with twine. A touch of color was added with the single flower and a heat embossed sentiment. I wish you the best day ever! The card was added to  Craft-alnica Izziv #309: Vrvica Vesela hiška Izziv #30 - Cvetlice

Spring is here and I  can't wait to see the first cygnets on the nearby lake. And no, I didn't know what a young swan was called, I had to look it up. :) I got the idea for the card through my own struggles, where often you don't believe in yourself and would rather give up, yet with persistence you somehow manage to pull through the hardship and prove you're not just barely good enough, but really worth it. Just keep believing in yourself!   The card was made with Lawn Fawn Magic Picture Changer , Swan Soiree stamps with coordinating dies where I colored the little cygnets in yellow with Copic markers to change them into little ducklings, and Spiffy Speckles  patterned paper.  First I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink that is Copic friendly and colored the images with Copics. After that I masked the images with stamped and fussy cut masking paper and  created the background with Distress Inks. For the cygnet I used Salty Ocean, Vintage Photo and...
