Have a magical birthday

Hello everybody! How was your Christmas? I hope you had a lovely day with your loved ones. We had a very relaxing day at home. We had fun with the gifts Santa brought us, we ate some yummy food, watch some Christmas movies and did a lot of cuddling. It was a perfect day!

Today I would like to show you another card that I made recently - and for a change this one is not Christmassy. Shocking, I know. :P I made this card for my friend's birthday. Since she's already received it it's safe to post it online. :) Do you like making and sending cards for/to your friends and family on their birthdays? I sure do. It's just a simple gesture to let them know you are thinking of them on their special day. 

On this card I combines some of my favourite things - gorgeous papers from Craft and you, beautiful flowers from I am roses and one of the sweetest little fairies from Mo Manning (this is a Stampavie stamp, called Birthday fairy Lee). I coloured this cutie with polychromos and I covered her wings with stickles. I love how sparkly they are! I finished the card off with some pearls, crystals and small butterflies.

So much from me today. See you again soon. :)

Have a wonderful day! xx

Sending you fairy birthday wishes

Hello everybody! How are you doing? This week I got to visit some of my friends for the first time since the lockdown. It was soooooooo nice to sit down, enjoy the lovely meal and have a looong chat. I really missed this. Things are not completely back to normal yet and there are still safety measures in place, but at least we can go out, visit friends etc. Things we were taking for granted before the covid-19 situation. 

Today I would liketo show you a card I made for my mom's birthday. 

Don't you just love these adorable fairies from Mo Manning? I totally do. I mean, seriously, look at how cute they are! They always make me smile.

I had lots of fun colouring this cutie. :) I did the colouring with Faber Castell's polychromos.

I embelished the card with some flowers, pearls and sequins.

Have a beautiful day! xx

Geometrical

Hello my crafty friends! How's it going? I'm enjoying my time with my little girl and while she sleeps I try to do a little bit of crafting. I never thought I'd enjoy being a mom so much. But this little bundle of joy gives me energy and brightens my days. :)

Anyways, I won't bore you with baby talk, because I know it's not why you are here. ;) A new challenge started at Crafty ribbons today and the theme is "Geometrical". Say "what"?! That was my reaction. I have to admit this was a huge challenge for me. I had absolutely no idea what to make. At first I thought I would just use a lot of circles on my card, but I couldn't make it work. My mind was blank. But then I thought about just using some different geometrical shapes on my card and all of the sudden things weren't looking so bad anymore. At the end I made the following card.

While it doesn't really scream "geometrical" at first look, I did use squares, rectangles, ovals and even triangles on this card.

I coloured this sweet little image a while back, but didn't get to use it til now. It's coloured with Promarkers and Faber Castell pencils and I also used some Stickles on the wings. Unfortunately it's impossible to see in the picture, but I also used gloss gel on the pink flower.

To decorate this card I used different flowers from my stash, pearls, keys ribbon from Crafty ribbons and a little birdie, which I made with mod podge silicone mold. On some die cuts and those triangles I used white gel pen for the stitches.

So much from me today. I hope you won't get scared by this theme and you will come play with us! Have a wonderful day!

Hugs! xx
