Pretty in Black and Purple

Hi everyone dear Crafts and Me lovers and fellow crafters. Karina here today to show you some more creations I recently made. The first one I show you is made with one of my favourite Crafts and Me stamps. It is by the fabulous artist Hannah Lynn called 'Genevieve'. She is so beautiful and a real treasure to work with. This time I wanted to made her in black and purple. 

The colouring is made with Distress Inks, added few accents with white acrylic paint. The background paper is Crafty Individuals.

The second card I show is the one I made for the last challenge with the theme 'Elegant Fairies'. Thank you so much for all who joined us. The card I made is made with another favourite image of me. It is by Janna Prosvirina called 'Night Blossom'. I created her in a shabby chic style in light colours. 

I stamped her with grey ink and coloured her with Distress Inks as well. The background papers are Prima.

Thank you so much for looking! Always much apprechiated. Wish you now a magical day and a very soon Happy Easter!

Pale Rose

Hi dear Crafts and Me friends and creative peoples out there. Karina here today. I hope you all are doing fine. As every second Wednesday I am showing you some creations I made with those gorgeous Crafts and Me Stamps.

The first one I have for you is made with a fabulous image from Jasmine Becket-Griffith. It is called Pale Rose. I decided to make a shabby style card with her. I love this kind of style very much. Not only for cards, also for home interieur and decorations. I have coloured the image with Distress Inks and added quite some white acrylic and crackle paint to it. And of course the cheese cloth cannot be missed :o)

My second card is made with one of my absolutely fave images by Crafts and Me. It is by the amazing artist Hannah Lynn and is called 'Genevieve'. Isn't she just a true beauty? I made this card for the last challenge at Crafts and Me Challenges where the theme were Flowers. I wanted to make her in autumn colours. She is coloured with Copics and she is so fun to colour. You simply have to try her out. I am sure you will love her.

We have a new challenge for you from today. So take a look at it and join us. We love to see your creations.

Have a magical day!
Hugs, Karina

I Got to Play with my NEW Rubber!!!

Hi Everyone.  Today I have cards to share with you using 2 of the new rubber stamps available now at Crafts and Me.  This first GORGEOUS image is by  Jasmine Becket-Griffith, called Butterflies in my Hair.  

I am posting this late as my Google blogger account would not let me do anything last night .  I couldn't even log onto my blog.  I just got home from work and it is working okay now.  I was starting to freak out as I have a lot of thing I need to get done.

Isn't she gorgeous?? I just love all of Jasmine Becket-Griffith's artwork.  She has soooo many beautiful pieces of artwork and I am so glad that Teresa at Crafts and Me finally got her to turn them into stamps. Thanks Teresa for working so hard to get her to turn her BEAUTIFUL images into rubber.

I used some Basic Grey Indian Summer DP, some flower sprays and butterflies. The frame around her is from K&Company and I used some pop dots to lift the frame off the image. I also added some Kaiser Pearls to the right side of the card. I colored her with copics. E50,E51,E21,E000 and E0000(chalk on her cheeks)
E18,E19,E09,E15,E13,E50,E51(Hair), Dress- E18,E19,YR18,YR09,YR07,Y38,Y17,Y04
Background- E40,E41,E42,E44,E50,C1

I created this card for my  Deconstructed Sketch Challenge DT.  I wanted to use this stamp for my challenge. I used one of Hannah Lynn's new rubber stamps called "Genevieve".   LOVE HER!! Isn't she totally AWESOME???

I used some DCWV DP, Flowered jewels, purple rhinestones, Metal rope beads, Eksuccess border punch, foam tape, and the image was colored with copic markers.

I hope you like the new Crafts and Me stamps, and soon she will have some Digi's in the store. and remember that the Crafts and Me Digi DT has a new challenge going on over at the Crafts and Me Challenge Blog, so I hope you can play along with them.

Here is my card from last weeks Challenge

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great 4th of July weekend.

MMMMM the smell of new rubbah...............mmmmmm

Good afternoon everyone hope you've all had a great weekend. As a lot of you know I have been poorly & in pain for a bit now & on Thursday morning got rushed to hospital with severe pain & difficulty in breathing. Well they let me home Saturday night after a LOT of begging & pleading........I would of been on my knees if not for the pain lol. Anyway I've got Pancreatitus which if any of you have had it is sooooo painful. Anyway the cause is cus I have LOTS of stones in the gallbladder & some have decided to travel to the pancreas which is not good & the only cure is to remove the gallbladder. So its lots of drugs down my throat to help with the pain & wait for the op.

Now I have a fabulous boss here I really have & told me not to worry about my DT work at all. Now I'm really good at doing as I'm told......honestly ahem......lol.........but when I got home from the hospital I had new rubbah releases from Teresa in my DT pack & well I just had to colour up some of them so altho I've not been ip to crafting I did sit on my bed yesterday watching Avatar & colouring lol.

Teresa has new Rubber stamps being released this week which of course as always are exclusive to

Crafts & Me & you dont want to miss these.....hopefully if the internet plays nicely for her Teresa will have these new releases on the store website today.....psst please wait tho til I've bought all the ones I dont have lol.

Anyway the 2 I've coloured are by my absolute fave artist.....Hannah Lynn.....I could sit & colour hers all day I really could...........

This is 'Sweet Selena' Mermaid & I've coloured her with Copics. Now this I've have changed with colouring just slightly. Her arm she is actually wearing a glove but instead I've done a naked arm & where the gloves end on her fingers I've turned them into finger nails & painted them red of course... Her hair is actually a half fringe but instead I've done it so a wispy bit comes down & drawn in the rest of her eyebrow. I've also enhanced her eyes with a copic. Isn't she beautiful.

Now the next image is my absolute fave image & is now out of all my masshoosive rubber collection is my fave stamp.........as soon as I saw her on Hannah Lynn's website I hoped that Teresa would someday turn this beauty into rubber...........& she did woooooooooo hooooooooooo

This is 'Genevieve' Steampunk Fairy & again is coloured with copics. I coloured her with pink hair the same as Hannah has done but did her eyes a different colour & put pink make-up on to match her hair. I've not done the background that will be done when she goes on a card.

On both of these images I have done green eyes as I love green eyes lol.......not that I'm bias cus I have green eyes lol. Isn't she just the prettiest thing.......well after my daughter of course lol.

Here is also the card I made for the challenge last week....this is the last card I made nearly a week ago, I'm having huge withdrawal lol.

This is 'Pearl Swirl Mermaid' by Jasmine Becket-Griffith & she has been painted with Distress Inks which I'm still practicing with.....she is fabulous to colour I love the sparkle I added to her hair & tail, she deserves some bling dont ya think?? Anyway there is still time to enter our challenge this week which is from us 'Rockin Rubbah' girlies & the challenge is stitches, faux or real the choice is yours.....the prize on offer as always is fabulous....so come on hop along to here & join in the fun....ya gotta be in it to win it.
