Friendship

Heya! It's the first of the month and you know what this means, right? Yup, the start of a new challenge at The Greeting Farm. :) Did you know that 7 August is a national friendship day? As we believe having friends is very important we decided that the theme for this challenge should be "friendship". Make a card, a tag or another project to let your friend(s) know how special (s)he is/they are to you.

I used one of the sweet images from the Magical friends set to make my card. I think those really special friends are (almost) as rare as unicorns, so this image seemed perfect. And the sentiment came from the Mega-mini amazing set.

To decorate the card I used a couple of doilies from my stash, a piece of cheesecloth, pearls and flowers. The big (twisted) yellow flower and the rose that I glued in the middle of it are from I am roses and the other flowers are from my stash. I also used different dies to decorate the card.

I coloured this cutie with Promarkers and pencils. After the colouring was done I used the Magical friends dies to cut out the image. I love fussy cut images, but I don't like fussy cutting, so these dies are a must have or me.

So much from me today. I hope you will join our challenge this month. I can't wait to see what you'll make. :)

Have a great day! xx

Animals rule

Hey hey! How are you doing? Is everything fine where you are? I sure hope it is! 

A new challenge just started at The Greeting Farm blog. This month's theme is "Animals rule", so we want to see your cards/projects with animals. What fun! :D I decided to use Magical friends set that was released earlier this year. I also used the matching dies so I didn't have to cut those ponnies out with scissors. What a time saver!

Aren't these ponnies adorable? So stinkin' cute!!! To make this card I used lots of leftover scraps of paper from my stash. To decorate the card I used a pearl trim and gems that I had in my stash and with some ribbons from Crafty ribbons.

I coloured the images with Faber Castell and Giotto pencils. Images are raised on foam pads for some extra dimension.

Have a wonderful day and don't forget to enter our challenge. :)

Hugs! xx

TGF preview - day 1, Magical friends

Good morning my crafty friends. Today is the first preview day of the newly released stamp set at The greeting farm. I love the whole new release, all of the images are so darn cute. Trust me, when you see them, you'll want to just run to the store. :D The stamp set we are showcasing today is called "Magical friends". Here's what I made with it.

Seriously, how cute is this unicorn?! I love it!!! I like shaker cards, but for some reason I don't do them very often. So I decided to challenge myself and make one with this set. I have lots of sequins and I'm glad I'm finally putting some of them to use.

I wanted the image to stand out, so I kept the background white, I just used Cuttlebug's embossing folder to make the dotty pattern. I coloured the image with Promarkers and Faber Castell pencils. I also used Stickles on the unicorn's hair to make it more sparkly and more magical. :)

The sentiment and the little star is part of the set as well. What I also like about this set is that it came with matching dies. Which means no fussy cutting - this saves a lot of time. I used the die for cut out the unicorn. :)

Hope you like my today's card. Be sure to also visit my teammates' blogs, because they have more gorgeous creations to share with you. 

Have a wonderful day! xx
