First Christmas card

Hi all bloggers!

I've been making cards for several occations

and today's card is a Christmas card as you can see, duh. My very first one this year, I can do

 without the Christmas stress by making some of the cards in this time of year.

I used a designable from Marianne Design.

I used a stamp I won in August 2010 at LOTV blog. The gold holly berry and

the pointsettia are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The pointsettia was taken apart

and reassembled with white stamens

which I coloured first with Twinkling H2O, Egyptian Gold.
A close up from the little angel:

Isn't she adorable?

April showers

Welcome everyone!

Thanks for stopping by my little blog. It keeps consuming more and more time to blog and keep up with all the new stuff ...

So here's my card. There is one girl who's lucky enough to get this in her mailbox :).

The image is Whiff of Joy Willow with umbrella (by Elisabeth Bell), coloured with my watercolour pencils.

I used a Pretty Paper Bloc by Marianne Design called Summerfun. Some very old flowers with new centers,

the greenery are Marianne D. dies, the butterflies are Cheery Lynn Design.
A closer look at the image:

Inside looks like this:
The sentiment says: Congratulations on your Birthday in Dutch.

I am entering this card at the challenge:

Vintage card

Hello!

It's been a while since I posted here. Way to long!!

After winning some candy (yayy!!) I got lost in time somehow.

Thank you for the comments you left for me to read, love them!

So, on to the card I want to show you.

The papers (I used 3 different paper pads) and dies are Marianne Design.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, where else :)?

Here is the inside: don't know yet what sentiment I'm going to use, so left it blank.
The border is a punch from Martha Stewart.

Happy Birthday for a 2year old

Hi to all of you in blogland!

This week has brought me lots of luck! First I found out I won a challenge and could go shopping at Heather's Hobbie Haven. I got myself a Doohickey die from Magnolia (the scalloped tag I've been looking at for ages!) AND I've won the Paintbox Poppets CD-Rom at Wendy's blog, which I received yesterday.I took a quick look and it's fabulous!! All these lovely decoupage sheet, sentiments etc. WOW.

Ah well on to my card: I made this cutie for a little lady who turned 2 today. I thought this image would fit perfectly for the occasion, because little girls want to play with grown up clothes and shoes.

The DP is a paper pad  from Papermania (dots), the other DP is from Yasutomo and is called Peony.

I used pearls and flowers from WOC, the image and the sentiment are from LOTV.

I coloured her with Twinkling H2O's, The charms where a gift from Cute Stamps and Cards.

The alphabeth is by Tim Holz: Typeset. The sentiment inside is Marianne Design.
Here is the inside:

This card is in 2 challenges:
