Spring collage

I was just playing with some scraps I had, being the tag and the eggs. I cut out the bird from an old book and found some patterned papers that I liked together.

We are having such beautiful weather - blue skies and a warm sun. I have been sitting outside this afternoon just enjoying the trees that are in blossom and this gorgeous weather!

White embossing on patterned papers and a giveaway

Just recently a lovely friend from the Hero Arts Flickr gallery sent me a gorgeous paper pad from Prima Marketing, called Botanical. I had been looking for these papers everywhere and found out that shipment from the USA had tripled in the bygone months! I had accepted not to buy them at such a high price and wait until I could find them nearer home. 

This is the first card I made with one of the papers and found out that white embossing  was really effective. I stamped the Postcard Tag stamp directly to the paper and also the Lupine flower in the middle. After embossing I stamped a couple of postmarks and adhered three dragonflies to the center of the flower.

 

Stamped directly to the patterned paper with the design block Silhouette stamp and found a stray butterfly in my scrap basket that just hit the spot. Stamped a sentiment, added some lace and my card is ready.

I stamped with the new Leafy Vine stamp from Hero Arts, direct to patterned paper.
I had just pictured how it would look on this paper and I really love this stamp. I punched out six circles on corresponding paper for each side of the card and attached in one go with a strip of double sided tape.
I found this design on Pinterest.

Now I have a giveaway:

This stamp and me don't go together, so I would rather give it to somebody who will use it and have fun with it. I will pick somebody on Tuesday per random org.I will also send one of the above cards with it.

have a lovely Sunday!

Simple nature cards

These cards were very simple to make.

All I did was stamp the Postcard Tag on a piece of patterned paper (thank you Sue), cut them out, added embellishments, extra stamping, cut out a couple of butterflies and then adhered the tag to card stock. I then cut around the tag and added some string.

Have a lovely weekend!

O yes, I wanted to share a card that was a Fab5 yesterday on the Hero Arts blog, was so lucky to win some stamping goodies!

Stamped the Postcard Tag onto patterned paper and cut out. Used half the image of the Starburst Lace Stamp from Hero Arts which is embossed. The butterfly is cut out from PP. Added some pearls and a ribbon and its ready.

Hero Arts Monthly Challenge - try something new

Hello everybody, hope you are all well! The weather has stabilized itself, although cold, the sun shines into the home in the afternoon, and that gives a lovely feeling.

I wanted to share these Hybrid cards which are for the Monthly challenge over at Hero Arts, to try something new.

I won a digital prize in December during a 24 hour scramble and Tami sent me the Botanical Tulips set which I printed, cut out and painted with distress inks, before I attached them to the Post Tag stamp which is one of Hero Art's 2013 releases. I placed the tag on the vertical left fold of cardstock and cut around it making these into cards.

 

I stamped the Tag onto Patterned paper. Stamped some leaves around the tag, direct to paper with bundled sage distress ink. Stamped the Friends definition. Printed the digital Tulip, painted with distress inks and cut out, adhered to tag. Added a couple of gems and some pink baker's twine before I placed it onto the fold of some cardstock and cut it out.

 

I did the same with this tag as the one above. Just cut out some digital butterflies which were printed on PP.

This stamp has reignited my inspiration.

Have a creative day!

New stamp - new inspiration

Hello from a very wet and cold France. The snow has melted and its gray with low hanging clouds in the mountains.

 This card shows one of the new releases from Hero Arts, called the Postcard Tag. I love getting a new stamp because it always inspires me to use my old stamps and make a mix.
 

I made a card of the tag-shape by placing the top of the stamp on a fold of patterned paper, and then cut it out. I did some stamped layering with lots of different stamps, added a little bit of baker's twine and some little gems. Have a lovely weekend! Jacqueline
