Hot and spicy


Good morning everybody,

I hope you had a good week-end so far. Except that I miss the sun so much, it's a good and relaxing week-end for me.

Here's the card I made for this week's challenge at Just Magnolia. The theme is "hot and spicy". Those colors make me think of indian spicies, so I hope it's ok. This will be the June page of my birthday calendar.


This sweet Love me Tilda has been colored with my copic markers. It's the first time I try the feathering technique (on the flower) and I'm quite satisfied with the result.

Thanks for stopping by today and for your lovely comments,

Hugs
Hélène

PS : There's a super cute free digi offer by Katharina from Whiff of Joy, you shouldn't miss it...

Guest Designer Call @ Whiff of Joy


Hi everybody,

As all of you probably knows, Katharina is holding a GDT Call on her blog.


The call will be open for 1 week. I will then choose 1-3 Guest Designers will then be chosen to be in the team for the next 2 months.They will create cards or other projects with Whiff of Joy’s newest stamps along with the great DT.

To apply, you have to create a card using red, orange and 1 colour of your choice. You should also used at one Whiff of Joy stamp.

It was a difficult challenge for me as I didn't have any papers that could match, but I used my Distress inks to change the yellow in orange.


I used Willow with hot chocolate and colored her with my copics. The sentiment is also from Whiff of Joy, as well as the swirls I used around the image.
I used the sketch from this week's challenge at Whiff of Joy Challenge blog.


Thanks for stopping by,

Hugs,

Witch Tilda


Good evening everybody,

There's a quick post to show you the card I made for the November page of my brithday calendar.
I think this Witch Tilda is so cute with the pumpkins, don't you?


I hadn't any Halloween papers, so I created the orange one with a plain cardstock. I stamped some pumpkins with Versamark ink and used some chalks to make some shading. The black paper is from a wedding collection.

Tilda has been colored with my copics.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Don't forget to leave me a comment so I can come to your blog and see your work!

Hugs,

Hélène

One for the girls


Good afternoon everybody,

I hope you're all enjoying this long week-end. Here in Belgium, it's raining again, and it's soooo cold :-(

There's a easy challenge this week on Just Magnolia which is one for the girl.

I used this sweet Tilda from "right to your heart" collection. She's one of my favorite one.
She has been colored with Distress inks and I added some Stickles to her wings.
Papers are from Magnolia and I received the flowers from Michaela some months ago.

Thanks for stopping by today and for all your lovely comments,

Belles 'n Whistles DT Call


Good morning everybody,

I hope you all had a fabulous week-end and a great Mother's Day.
I received a super cute home made ladybug from my son, it's meant to hold picture and I totally love it^^

When I saw a DT call on Belles 'n Whistles blog, I couldn't resist. I love their stamps, even though I only have one at the moment... It's my first application to a DT, and I would love to join because their stamps are all so cute!

So, here's my card using this super cute Beary Hugs. It's a fun card I made using Claudia's tutorial. It's really easy to make and it's fun. I put a gift voucher inside, for one of my friend's birthday.


I colored the image with Distress inks and Twinkling H2O. Papers are SU.

So now, fingers crossed...

Thanks for stopping by today,
