CCK - Crimson Moon

This is a card I created for this month's challenge at Ching Chou Kuik's challenge and inspiration blog using a decoupage image called Crimson Moon.

if you never used a decoupage image here is a closer look - it's a set of images you cut out and layer on top of each other with dimensionals creating a 3D effect

For the background I used some japanese patterned paper, cardstock, glitter paper and gems from my stash

Warm Wishes Christmas cards

I finally started making some Christmas cards - it's snowing outside (first time this year) so it's a perfect time for starting to think about Christmas (I was thinking about Christmas cookies too)

I made a few quick cards using Graphic 45 Warm Wishes papers using sketch challenges 

For this one I used sketch from Try Stamping on Tuesday 

This one used sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches

one with sketch from The Paper Players

and one without using any sketch

CCK - Purple Dragonfly

I'm back with another card featuring a Ching-Chou Kuik image - this time I used an image called Purple Dragonfly.

I tried something a bit different this time - I printed the digi on kraft cardstock and colored it with Prismacolor pencils. The pencils give you a nice coverage but the effect is a bit different than coloring on white.

For the background I used a bit of patterned paper, washi tape and a kraft ribbon for extra texture. And also a background die with white CS.

Watercolor Christmas

I made these cards for our newest challenge at Shopping Our Stash - challenge is called Splish, Splash and we want everyone to use a water based media or image with water in it.
 

For my cards I used stamps that came with a recent Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine.

Images and sentiment were stamp with Versamark on watercolor paper and embossed with white embossing powder.

Then I just swiped ink pads across the paper and blended the color with water brush. I used mostly distress ink, except for the darkest purple which is Blackberry Bliss from Stampin Up. The blue one looks a bit flat in the picture, there is more difference between the colors IRL.

Added some water splatter for more Splish, Splash effext and just a few sparkly gems for decoration

CCK - Winter Watcher

I made this card for November challenge at Ching-Chou Kuik's Challenge blog. It feels almost wintery here so I decided to make a card in cool colors. I used and image called Winter Watcher.

I used a spotlight technique and matched the pale purple ad grey colors from the image with patterned papers. Added some peel of stickers from Love from Lizzie and a snowflake die cut

SOS509 - Emboss Like a Boss

 I made this card for our current challenge at Shopping Our Stash. We want to see embossing on participants' creations and I decided to do a bit of both - hot and dry

I used the Prized Peony stamp set from Stampin Up and for embossing I emboss the velum in the background and also heat embossed the sentiment

CCK - Red Panda

Hello everyone!

I'm back with another inspirational post for Ching Chou Kuik's Challenge blog. This week I decided to use an image called Red Panda.

CCK - Holy Venice Night

I made this card for this month's challenge at Ching-Chou Kuik's challenge and Inspiration blog. I chose a pre-colored image called Holy Venice Night and created this low key Christmas card. I didn't add any sentiment so it can be used as a generic holiday  season card, but adding the gold touches makes it more festive.
