Papirnato Srce

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

Oh how I enjoy the spring sunshine and having some peaceful moments outside listening to the birds and of course - creating with colors!! It's the time of the year for flowers and butterflies and one of my favorite stamps -    Transformation  by The Ton. For this card I first stamped and heat embossed the butterfly with embossing ink and white embossing powder on water color paper. Then I played with different combinations of Spectrum Noir Aqua markers - Floral set and two sets of colored pencils ( Cass Art and Prismacolor ) with a water brush to color this butterfly plus several others I prepared beforehand with stamping and embossing. I mounted it on a square card base with a bright green background to bring out the leaves and the card was done! I enjoyed so much playing with different embossing powder colors (black, white, gold and copper) and color schemes, I can’t wait to do more! The card was entered in: Vesela hiška Izziv #30 - Cvetlice Darilnica Klavdija: Izziv #71 - Metul

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
