Happy New Year!

Hi everyone!

Hope you had a great time ringing in the new year!

I am starting the year with a card for the new challenge at 613 Avenue Create! 

The theme is: Cheers to the New Year 

(create something featuring any beverage)

Alternately "Anything Goes"

I colored and cut out two chickens (Yixuan). The two glasses are hand-drawn because I don't have any in this size. 

I splattered the white panel with gold ink and stuck a strip of washi tape at the bottom. Unfortunately, it tore unevenly at one end, but it didn't look too bad, so I left it as it was. Not everything has to be straight, right?

I then glued the chickens and glasses in place and stamped the sentiment and the firework.

Hope to see you play along with 613 Avenue Create

Hi everyone!

Christmas is just around the corner, and I would like to remind you one last time about our current Dream Factory challenge

 

Candy Cane Lane

Anything Christmassy Goes

I simply stamped the polar bear onto white Bristol cardstock and added a border of glitter paper at the bottom to suggest snow. I colored it in with alcohol ink markers. Drew a candy cane, cut it out, and glued it on. 

For the sentiment, I changed “scooting” to “skating.” 

Finally, I splattered light blue color in the background and backed the panel with patterned paper. 

Hope you like it :)

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas!

Thanks for stopping by.

Heartfelt condolences

Hi everyone!

Making sympathy cards is never easy, but this one really moved me deeply...

I made this card at the beginning of the year, but I've never shown it before. 

At that time, I just wasn't ready to accept my friend's passing... 

In memory of my dear friend Cornelia, who left us far too soon.

RIP my dear soul sister! ♥

Hi everyone!

Christmas is getting closer and closer and I would like to briefly remind you 

about our current Dream Factory challenge

 

Candy Cane Lane

Anything Christmassy Goes

I dry-embossed a panel of blue cardstock and glued it onto a blank card. 

I then pasted on the punched-out circle with the cup, which I had colored with alcohol ink markers. 

The silver circle, I die-cut from the lid of a cheese package.

Wishing you a wonderful and cozy Advent season!

Thanks for stopping by.

And maybe you'd like to join us...

Old Fashioned Candy Canes

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at the Dream Factory

Our movie for this month is:

Candy Cane Lane

Anything Christmassy Goes

Since I don't have a candy cane stamp, I drew one on cardboard. I cut it out and used it as a template for all the candy canes on the card. I colored the canes with alcohol ink markers and a white Posca pen. 

The text comes from a paper pad. I just added a touch of pink and green color and bordered it with a gold gel pen.

Thank You ...

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at 613 Avenue Create! 

The theme is Anything Goes w/optional twist: "Thank You".

(create a thankful project)

I wanted to send flowers...

I simply cut a remnant of designer paper into four equal pieces and glued them onto gray cardstock. 

The designer paper was black and white, so I added a little color to the flowers to pep them up a bit. 

I glued the four labels onto an embossed cardstock and stamped the sentiment next to them. 

The whole thing is glued onto a blank card.

Hope to see you play along with 613 Avenue Create 

Have a nice day!
