Sparkle!! Sparkle!!! Sparkle!!!

I've made this card for the Whiff of Joy Challenge which is "Sparkle!! Sparkle!!! Sparkle!" .
I know the picture quality is bad and it's not really showing, but IRL there's a lot of spakle.
This cute Henry Mouse was colored with Distress inks and I also distressed the edges of the paper and added some stickles to it. There also some stickles onto the bow, on the fake snow around the red paper and on the flower.
The beautiful papers are from Bo Bunny and they are sparkling too.
Thanks for your comments

A special card for someone special

I made this card for someone really special to me, but I won't name her as she may see it in advance. That's the first time I make an Easel card and I'm quite happy with the result!

I used the color combo from Color create challenge which are purple, aqua and white. The sketch is from the sketch saturday challenges.

I wanted to keep it as simple as possible because the paper were quite busy. They're from Bo Bunny.

The image is one of the winter stamp kit from Magnolia and it has been colored with Distress inks.












Thanks for all your lovely comments

Just in time

Well, this was almost too late but I made my card for this week's just Magnolia Challenge.
This also qualifies for the color create challenge.

A card for 3 challenges

I hope you all have a sweet Wednesday.
Here's a new Christmas card I made, using three different challenges. I used the Create 4 Fun sketch, the color combo from Colour Create Challenge Blog which was blue, silver and white with the extra option Winter and Glitter (I don't know if you can see it on thepicture). Last but not least, I use this month's tutorial on Just Magnolia challenge blog which was about distressing.
I love this Tilda, I think she's really great for Christmas cards. And I used Flower soft for the fur, I love the effect.


Thanks for stopping by
Have a nice day

Monochrome

It's been a long time since my last post, but I had lots of things to do and no time for crafting :-( Hopefully this week if found some time to make a card for the Just Magnolia's challenge. I also use the sketch from this week's Create4fun challenge.


Thanks for stopping by and thanks a lot for all your kind comments, I really appreciate them all.

Making cards with Nougatinette

Voici la carte que j'ai réalisée suite à l'atelier de samedi avec Nougatinette. J'ai passé une super matinée et je suis très contente du résultat. Je trouve que l'idée est vraiment très sympa pour y glisser les étrennes :-) Je l'ai offerte a une amie pour son anniversaire avec un bon d'achat.

Here's the card I made following my lesson with Nougatinette. I had a great morning and I'm glad about the result. I found that it was a great idea when you want to offer money or vouchers to someone. I offered it to a friend for her birthday with a voucher for her favorite shop.

Mes débuts - The beginnings

Tout a commencé par hasard, en surfant sur le net, je suis tombée sur des tampons Magnolia et j'ai complètement craqué. Je les trouvais trop mignon alors j'en ai acheté quelques uns. Mais que faire avec ces tampons, jamais je n'arriverais à les intégrer à mes pages de scrap... Je suis donc retournée sur le net et j'ai trouvé des tas de fabuleux blogs de carteries et j'ai décidé de me lancer.
J'ai fais ma première carte à la demande de ma belle-mère, pour les 90 ans de la grand-mère de mon mari. J'ai malheureusement perdu la photo de la carte.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It started by chance, while I was wandering on the net, and I found some Magnolia stamps. I completely fell in love with them. They were so cute, so I bought some, but I really didn't know what to do with them... I scrap, but I think I'll never be able to put them on a page...
So I return to internet and found a lot of gorgeous blogs about cards making and I decided that that was what I wanted to do. I already have some basic material used for scrapbooking, so why not...
I made my first card for my husband's grandmother. She had 90 years old this year and my mother in law ask me to do a home-made card. Unfortunately I lost the picture I took!
