Thank You Card With Roses

It is not easy to concentrate on crafting

when the sun is shining and there are lots of things to do outside.

But I have an order from Norway,

so I have to get these cards ready.

Unfortunately the colours on this photo

seem darker than the original ones,

but in spite of that I decided to post the photo.

I used:

Cream double card A6;

Apricot (not brown) paper;

Cream scrap paper;

Image: Roses from Beccy,

coloured with Caran D'Ache Water color pencils;

Dies used:

Spellbinders "Scalloped Oval"

and WeR Memory Keepers "Nesting Card";

Corner punch: Heyda;

Text written on my computer;

Brown distress ink and pen.

CAS Window Card With A Butterfly

After more than a whole month on summer holidays,

it is good to be home again

and to sit down with papers, dies and my beloved Cuttlebug.

We had a lovely time in Norway

together with family and friends.

And we can look back at beautiful memories.

Today I made a "window card"
for the "Spinn The Wheel" over at Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge,

and I decided to emboss the front of the card itself.

I used:

White double card A6;

Snippets, different colours;

Embossing folder: Darice.

Flowers: EK Success punch;

Foliage: Cottage Cutz "Ivy" dies;

Butterfly die: Studio Light "Home and Happiness";

Rhine stones, glitter, brown distress ink, green and brown pens.
Tool: Cuttlebug.

Our guidelines

For A Little Fisher Man

I made a CAS card for a man or a boy.
I made it without a sentiment,
so it may be used for different occasions.
I'm still practicing my colouring.
This is a rather new discipline for me.
Until now I nearly always used pre-coloured images.
So well, - now I'm "learning by doing".

Recipe:

Creme double card A6;

Creme paper for the mat;

Blue and brown scrap papers (snippets);

Image: Coloring-Page.net;

Frame: Nellie's Multiframe die;

Starfish die: Marianne Design;

Colours: Caran D'Ache;

Brown distress ink for the edges, white and brown pens.
Tool: Cuttlebug.

Things That Make You Feel Happy

As I bought the digi set "Smooth Seas" from Beccy,

I thought I could use this wonderful sentiment

also for other cards then "sea cards".

Knitting makes me happy,

and I know that also other of my friends feel that happiness

with yarn and knitting needles.

So here is my last card,

a little special, perhaps.
And of course it was not easy to knit with toothpicks!!!

Recipe:

White double card, A6;

White card stock;

Embossing folder: Cuttlebug;

Spellbinders Scalloped Oval die;

Sentiment: Beccy (from the "Smooth Seas" set);

Toothpicks as knitting needles;

Green cotton yarn;

Blue distress ink and blue pen.

The blue background for the image is painted

with Tombow water colour.

Tool: Cuttlebug.

to Anesha and Stefanie as my new followers!

Ab und zu gibt es grosse Überraschungen,

die den Tag zum leuchten bringen.

Diese Woche hat uns ein Freund mitgeteilt,

dass er einen grossen Fisch gefangen hatte,

und er und seine Frau wollten uns ein Teil davon schenken.

Wir hatten eine sehr schmackhafte Malzeit.

Als Dankeschön machte ich ihm diese Karte.

Für die Challenge "Animal Friends" ist sie vielleicht "gewagt"?

Denn der Fisch ist ja tot! ;)
