Hello there!

I´m so happy you´ve dropped in today when I share this birthday card made with an old Reprint stamp in focus.

 I created the background using Colourcraft Brusho "Lemon" together with one Prima Marketing stencil and some Distress ink that was sponged over. I also used some dies, Spellbinders Nestabilities Lacy Squares and Gold Squares One. I layered the squares using foam tape to give dimension. Then I cut the bow out of gold CS using one Craft Emotions die. I finished of by adding Platinum Stickles to the flower.

Yhat´s all for today, have a great weekend!

Hello there crafters!

Before Christmas I saw this Origami Leaf tutorial over at Splitcoastampers and thought to try it for a Christmas tree decoration, but unfortunately it was not enough time for it, so now I tried it instead. Now it became a flower on an encouraging card for my sister who is in the hospital.

I have used a sentiment stamp from Bildmålarna and some Distress inks for the background. Pistils from my stash.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy New Year to you!

I know it's a little late to show Christmas cards now, but I just couldn't make it before Christmas when there was so much to be done so I do it now instead.

It's mostly created by leftover stuff that was left on my table and flowers from my stash. The coloring was made with Distress inks. I also used Tim Holtz Alterations On the Edge die and an old Inkido God Jul stamp.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit
