Blog hop for a special person

Hello everybody and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I'm wishing you a wonderful day, surrounded with your loved ones. May your Christmas be MAGICAL! :D

I'm here today to tell you about a blog hop we have prepared for a special lady. Lots of crafters from all over the world are participating in this hop. The reason behind this hop is that we wanted to do something special for Alyce. Do you know Alyce? No? Yes? For those of you who don't know her, let me tell you that she's one super sweet and super talented lady who has those amazing colouring classes at Kit and Clowder page. Definitely worth checking out, if you want to learn to colour. :)

So ... Each of the participants in the blog hop made a card for Alyce. You should have arrived here from Davinia's blog. If you haven't, and would like to start at the beginning of the hop, please go to Mari's blog, She's a first stop and you can go on from there. :)

Here's the card I made for Alyce.


I "cheated" a little and didn't use a coloured image for the center of my card. I used a gorgeous angel stamp from Stempelglede instead. I sprinkled some frantage around the image as well. I hope Alyce will like it! It took me forever to do all the stitching (I don't have a sewing machine so I had to do it by hand), but I like the look it gives so I think it was worth it. I made all of the flowers myself. Ribbons are from Crafty ribbons and pearls, doilies and those star sequins are from my stash. It's hard to tell from the picture, but this card is really sparkly in real life. I added glitter glue around the edges of the paper and also on the flowers (all of them) and on the star that's peeking from behind.


So, Alyce ... Thank you for all the hard work you are putting into your classes and for inspiring me and many more crafters all around the world with your gorgeous creations. Thank you also for always being so sweet and helpful. I wish you and your loved ones a very merry Christmas and all the best in 2015. Big hugs to you! xx

I am so in love with your soft palette, it is so perfect for that beautiful vintage image (I would love to know what company that stamp is from)! I just love your little bits of blue here and there, what a lovely splash of colour without clashing or pulling focus! Brilliantly done my friend! big hugs until next time :)
