My first Ketto!

This is my first Ketto Stamp! I was amazed how tiny they are. It was really challenging to color. This is also my first participation of a Splitcoaststampers Challenge (No. SC278). As I used a browish cardstock (cookie dough from Elzybells) it is also suitable to submit to the "That's Krafty Thursday" Challenge.

Yesterday I found out what Kraft cardstock is and I even found a shop in Germany where it is sold. So maybe for the next challenge I may even have the right cardstock!

Isn't this image darling?

Supply list:

• Charlotte from Ketto (Stamping Bella), colored with copics
• Cardstock from SU and Elzybells
• Desinger paper: Rayher

Another birthday card!

Another birthday card in puple and pink!

I used Matilda Muffinbread from Stamping bella; colored with copics and decorated with stickles. The muffin Matilada holds in her hands is of pink fun flock decorated with pearls to give the muffin a fluffy strawberry icing.
The designer paper is from Tilda - a Danish desinger. Cardstock ist from SU. I also used flower buttons and paper ribbons. Additionally I tried to color the backround with a brush and ink. I still have to practice a lot. But the result comes close to what I do have in mind.

Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge No. 60

Yesterday I had a "hard" day in terms of card-making. I had 5 kids sitting around my dining table all eager to create a card of their own. So I supervised all 5 of them and tried to produce a card for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge.

So this is the result:

I used "lattebella" as the image. Cardstock is from SU and the designer paper is from imaginisce. Bella is colored with copics.

Just Us Girls Challenge No. 19

Another weekend - another Just Us Girls Challenge.

This time I used one of my favourite images from Stamping Bella: Partygirlbella. I tried a new technique which I always admire - the way you girls color the backround. I am not a 100% happy with the result. I need more practice. But the way seems to be right. Sponging the backroud with ink.

As usual Bella is colored with copics and embellished with stickles. The littel hearts around the scallops are usually used to decorate finger nails. But as they are so tiny they just work perfect as stamping embellishment.

Cardstock is from SU; the designer paper is "Pretty please" from My mind's eye.

Sorry gils I forgot the thrid circle. I printed the template in black and white and it was not visble. Hope it counts nevertheless!
