Hello!

For today´s card I used the new "Hot air balloon"
digi stamp set by Isabel Cristina.

This stamp set is sooo cute! It comes with several hot air balloons to choose from,
several cute critters AND those images comes with both a front and a backside!

How cool is that! There are also some sentiments, two of them
to go with the banner. You´ll find this stamp set in Isabel´s Etsy store!

For my card I choose the little tiger to go on a hot air balloon ride!
I made a see through open front on my card, and as you
open it you see the balloon and the tiger from behind!

 I placed a (double) bow on the front of my balloon
by layering the images. If you are curious how I layer
images in a Word document on my PC, 
please see my blog post from a few months ago!

The images were colored with Copic markers.
For the clouds on the inside of the card I used Distress
Oxide inks Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and a cloud stencil.
I colored the clouds on a separate panel and
adhered it to the inside of the card.

 Thank you for stopping by!

Hello!

For today´s card I have used my favorite Hello Bluebird
Christmas stamp set, called "Christmas is coming"!

For the trees I used the tree die from the "Landscape Scenes-2"
die set by Nellie Snellen, I love those trees!
That set includes mountain and grass dies as well!

The critters were colored with Copic markers and for the sky
I blended Distress inks, Candied Apple, Spiced Marmelade,
Picket Raspberry and Wilted Violet. Some droplets of water were
added to the ink blended panel and it looks almost like a starry night! 

I added some Stickles to the tree the bear is carrying
and to the snow, for some shimmer and glimmer!

 Thank you for stopping by!

Hello!

This is my second card using the cute "Christmas Cats"
digi stamp set, from Isabel Cristina!

This set comes with so many adorable kittens,
Christmas ornaments, boxes and
sentiments! You´ll find it in Isabel´s Etsy store! 

I layered the cat and the box on this card. If you are 
curious how I layer images in a Word document on my PC, 
please see my blog post from a few months ago!

I colored the images with Copic markers, cut them out with my Scan n Cut.

I placed a piece of striped patterned paper on the kraft
card base, coloring two pieces of card stock using Distress Ink,
Candied Apple, splashed some droplets of water to them, mounting
them on foam dots for some dimension and placed them on
each side of the striped panel. I then placed my images
on top using double sided tape and foam dots!

That wrapped fish is just so much fun!

 Thank you for stopping by!

Hello!

I am still in pink mode, so when coloring this cute little
chick, called "chickaDEER" from Stampingbella, it had to be pink! 

I combined the pink with soft gold! For the trees I used the 
tree die from the "Landscape Scenes-2" set by Nellie Snellen. I love
how the golden trees look so beautiful against the pink sky!

The images were colored with Copic markers, I used
a white gel pen for the polka dots on the present. 

I added a some Stickles for the glimmering frost on the snow!

 Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello!

It has been quiet in her for a while due to the passing
of a family member. I am so grateful that coloring
has relieved so much of my stress.

Today I share a card I made for Isabel Cristina
using the "Thanksgiving" digi stamp set!

This stamp set comes with a lot of cute images as well as
sentiments, perfect for making pretty cards for Thanksgiving!
You´ll find it in Isabel´s Etsy store!

When I first saw this set I immediately thought of
enlarging the big mushroom and let the fox sit under
its cap, on the tree trunk! This is the result! 

Images were colored with Copic markers, for the spots
on the mushrooms I used a white gel pen.
The background was ink blended using Distress Oxide
inks in Spiced Marmelade and Candied Apple. As a 
finishing touch I splashed some droplets of water to it!

The die cut stitched frame is from the
"Gallery frame #1" die set by Hello Bluebird. The die cut
word  thanks is from the "Gallery frame #2" die set, also
by Hello Bluebird. I die cut two pieces, placing the white 
slightly to the side as a shadow to the red piece.

 Thanks for stopping by today!
