Waiting for snow

Hello everybody! First of all ... HAPPY NEW YEAR! How did you spend the first few days of 2023? We went to some short trips around here, but we are also spending lots of quality time together at home while we still can. Did you get any new crafty supplies from Santa? I did and I can't wait to use them. :)

Today I finished my first card in 2023 - yay me. :P It's a simple one, but I happy with it. I am still in a holiday spirit so I wanted to create a holiday/wintry card and when I was going through my stash I found this Candibean stamp from Little darlings (it's called Spread a smile of joy) that I've had for a while, but haven't used it yet so I thought it was high time to change that. So I inked the stamp up and went to work.

I coloured the image with polychromos and added some stickles here and there. Then I fussy cut the image, raised it on foam pads and glued it on the card. I finished the card with the sentiment from The Greeting Farm; I thought it went perfectly with the image. I finished the card up with some crystals.

So much from me today. Have a wonderful day! :)

Snowball fight

Hello everybody! How are you doing? I hope you had lovely holidays and that January has been good for you so far. I can't complain. Over the holiday season I took a short break from crafting so I could spend more time with my family and do more things with them. But now I'm slowly finding my way to my crafty place again. Currently I'm working on a special birthday present for a friend of ours. It is not finished yet, so I can't show it to you, but I promised to share some pictures of it when it's done. In the meantime I would like to share with you a winter card I made ...

How adorable are these pinguins?! Each time I look at this image I start smiling. They look ready for some winter fun (meaning: snowball fighting :P). I never shy away from the snowball fight, in fact, I much enjoy them. What about you?

I did the colouring with polychromos and I added some stickles on parts of the snowballs and snow. The papers are from DCWV. The only embellishments I used are a pearl and some small star sequins.

I used foam pads between the layers to give the card some dimension.

Have a lovely day! xx
