Brightest Blessings

Hello everyone, Karina here with my first post in the New Year. I hope you had a safe and sound landing into the 2013 and had a nice and relaxing festive season. For the most the daily routine has begun again, just as it did for me. But I was a lucky lady and were allowed to enjoy a 1,5 weeks holiday over Christmas and New Year.

My first creation I want to show you is... yes, a Christmas card... you cannot be too early with making Christmas cards, isn't it? :o). And Crafts and Me have such gorgeous images to make them. The one I used on my card below is 'Brightest Blessings' from Robyn Pushay. I coloured the image with Copics and added some sparkling to the wings of those sweet little angels.

The second card I show you is the one I created for our Christmas Bumper Challenge where we have the theme 'Winter Wonderland'. You still have 6 days left to join to have the chance to win one of our fabulous prizes. For my project I used one of my favorite image from Zindy S.D. Nielsen 'First Snow'. Also here I made the colouring with Copics.

Well, wish you a wonderful day now and thank you so much for your visit here.
Hugs, Karina

Coming at Crafts and Me.......

Hiya Peeps,

I'm back again with a sneak preview of what is being unveiled by Crafts and Me this Sunday at Stamperama Stevenage.  The image is called  Scarlet Sofa  by Jasmine Beckett-Griffiths and will be available to purchase from Crafts and Me online after the show depending on stock.

I have to admit my mojo was missing when I made this card.  I have decided that I must of had flu, correction, still have flu. I have been unwell for two weeks now and have been struggling to talk without coughing for most of this week. With the snow falling from the sky I won't be venturing out of my house and will be praying for the rain to come on Saturday and clear it all away so I can drive to Stamperama on Sunday.

First Snow in Pink

Hi Everyone! It's Angela here and it's my turn to share with you today my newest creation.  Today I have a card using one of Zindy Nielsen's images called "First Snow".  Sorry my pic's are so bright but with that bright pinks and the way my lamp hit's it, it is so bright.  I tried taking out the contrast but then the image lost most of it's true color. The image is bright in real life.. I used copic colors RV29, RV25,RV04.RV02, RV19, I think that was all the colors I used on her coat.

I used some older Basic Grey Christmas/Winter paper, Wild Orchid Crafts Roses, Pearl pins, Spellbinder die and Sizzix Corner dies, thick lace doily, Proverbs saying, wide ribbon, and a gold and pearl center button.

I hope you have a wonderful day and thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs:)

Red Riding Hood

Hi everyone, hope you're doing fine... better than me, as I am fighting with a bad flu since four days which doesn't allows me to do anything, not a tiny little colouring or glueing some papers togehter... nothing... I cannot remember feeling that aweful lately, just lying around, watching some TV and sleeping. Well, luckily I worked ahead with my cards and can show you a new one today nevertheless. At least I manage to post it, when I cannot do anything else. 

Well, the card I show you today I made with this gorgeous new image by Zindy Nielsen called 'Red Riding Hood'. Well... mine is more Blue Riding Hood :o).

And I also want to show you my card I made for our latest challenge where we asked for using Pins. I used another fabulous image by Zindy Nielsen called 'First Snow'.

Well, wish you a wonderful day now! Thank you so much for your visit!

Hugs, Karina

First Snow

Hi Crafts and Me Fans,

It's my turn to show you what I have created using this beautiful image by the new designer Zindy Nielsen called "Catching Snowflakes".  This image would suit Christmas as well as Winter birthdays or any winter ocassional card for that matter.

Lots of texture again from me, snowtex and a helping of distress crackle paint too.

My favourite Tim Holtz on the edge snowflake die was itching to get another outing, lol.  I added a second layer of gold snowflakes too.

Have a good weekend Everyone.

For the rest of the card I have used some Marianne D's dies for the pine branch and the snowflakes. I have inked the edges of all the stars with versa magic midnight blue and also inked the background with it.
