Black, white and one other colour

Hello, hello! Wow, how time flies by. Can you believe it's almost the end of March? O.o  Spring is waking up and Easter is just around the corner. Nice, nice. :P Do you have any special traditions for Easter where you live? Or any special yummy food (dessert or something similar) that you make for Easter? We often eat "potica" here. My grandma makes a yummy one. :)

Anyways ... Enough of babbling ... I started writing this post to tell you about the new challenge at Crafty ribbons challenge blog. Your host is sweet Dawn, who chose "Black, white + one other colour" to be the theme for this challenge.

For my card I chose purple to be that "plus one colour". Here's my card ...

I didn't use and DP, just plain white, black and purple cardstock, which I punched with my border punch. I embossed the white cardstock with Cottage floral embossing folder. The doily was actually white but I colored it purple with "Lilac" Paper soft colour from Viva decor. I bought this by mistake - I was actually looking for a purple stamping pad, but they didn't have it so I though that maybe this could work. Well, it sort of does, but it gives you kind of a "water looking" image when you stamp and this wasn't really what I was hoping for. But this colour turned out to be useful anyway. :) The fab polka dot ribbon (I LOVE polka dots!) is from Crafty ribbons. I used the sweet Dress up Marci from La-la Land Crafts as the main image (isn't she just too cute?!) and I colored her with Promarkers and colour pencils. On the beads and "white" part of her hat I used diamond Stickles. I won the sentiment stamp some time ago at one challenge blog. On the scalloped circle I used pearl pen from Viva decor.

I hope you like my card! :)

Oh, and before I forget ... Once again we have an amazing prize for the lucky winner. Look at what you can win...

Flowery cupcake

Hello there! I'm back with a new project. Today started a new challenge at Crafty ribbons challenge blog and the theme of our new challenge is "Birthday". Nice and easy challenge for you. :)

I decided to make another cupcake for this challenge.

I really like the look of these cupcakes and they are really fun to make. :) If you want to give this little cupcake a try, check out the tutorial. As you can see, I used lots of flowers (all of them are from my stash) on my cupcake and also quite some different ribbons - they are all from Crafty ribbons. I used wine satin ribbon, cranberry joyeux anniversarie ribbon and hot pink baby ribbon. The yellow paper is from Provo craft.

Once again we have some yummy ribbons for the lucky winner. Here's what you can win ...

Spring is coming

It was another beautiful sunny day in this tiny European country. So nice! Are you ready for the weekend? I am, but I know I will have lots and lots of work. There are quite some (work) things that I need do by Monday so my weekend will be busy. But I hope I'll manage to do some crafting too.

The other day I had some time on my hands and I made this card ...

I used the sweet Tilda with peony stamp and colored the image with Promarkers. The pink and blue papers are from Provo Craft and the green one is from Heidi Grace. I made the flower myself (in case you are wondering how, you can check the tutorial I made here). The butterflies are made with the craft punch. The doily and feather are from my stash and the ribbons are from Crafty ribbons.
