Aurora Wings Challenge #48 - "Anything goes"

Hello dear crafters :-)




Today is the start of our new challenge at the Aurora Wings Challengeblog.
Our current theme is everyone's favorite

"Anything goes"

This time, I used the beautiful "Petals in the Wind" Digistamp for my card:




Coloring was done, as usual, with my Copic Ciao and a few Spectrum Noir Markers.
 


 I did't add much embellishments this time, just 3 little golden gemstones on the upper left corner, and some flourish cutting dies below and above the image.
The sentiment mean's "Tinking of you", it's from a set of Whiff of Joy.




Please visit our Challengeblog  for more beautiful inspirations, and take part at the challenge - it's a very easy one ;-)

 
Wish you all Happy (remaining) Easter :-)

Aurora Wings Challenge #44 - "Anything goes"

Hello dear friends!


Yesterday, it was the start of the new challenge at the Aurora Wings Challengeblog, and I'm soooo sorry I'm very late with my DT work 😿
I just don't know where the time flies by so fast...!



Our current challenge theme is everyone's favourite:

"Anything Goes"

For my card, I chosed the vancy wings version of the cute little "Butterfly Sprite". 
It's really a small card - it's sized 10,5cm to 10x5cm :-)







 Markers I used:
(CC= Copic Ciao, SN=Spectrum Noir)

Skin: R00, RV42, YR00 (CC)
Hair: Y11, YR23, R27, YR15 (CC)
Dress: B97, BG15, YG41, G02 (CC), BT3 (SN)
Wings: YG41, G02, V06, RV06, RV14, RV02, Y15, Y17, Y11












The flourish was made with a cutting die from Memory Box. 


















Because of the small size, I didn't use many embellishments.
Just 3 paperflowers to finish the card.









We're looking for numerous beautiful artworks from you to take part in our current challenge! <3

Hochzeitskarte in Weiß / HellgrĂŒn mit Rosen

Hallo ihr Lieben!




Damit mein Blog nicht ganz verhungert, zeige ich euch heute wieder ein KĂ€rtchen aus dem "Archiv".

Ich hatte es bereits vor etwa 1 1/2 Jahren gemacht, und es ist auch schon lÀngst bei seinen neuen Besitzern, allerdings hatte ich ganz versÀumt es zu zeigen (wie so Vieles ;-) )






Die cremefarbenen Papierröschen sind handgemacht, die RÀnder mit Distress Ink Walnut Staind eingefÀrbt.



Im Hintergrund finden sich gestempelte FarnblĂ€tter und grĂŒnfarbener Dekodraht, sowie cremefarbene Halbperlen.

Die Schriftstempel sind aus einem Set von AEH Design.








Klappt man die Karte auf, befindet sich auf der ersten Innenseite ein Herz mit Spruch:














... Noch einmal aufklappen, und man findet Platz fĂŒr persönliche Worte, sowie einen kleinen Umschlag fĂŒr's Geldgeschenk.








Da die Rosen aussen ziemlich auftragen und die Karte dadurch natĂŒrlich nicht in einen herkömmlichen Umschlag passt, habe ich noch einen Briefumschlagbox dazu gebastelt, welche mit einem doppelten, weißen Seidenband verschlossen wird.




Vielen Dank fĂŒr's Vorbeischauen, und einen schönen Sonntag :-)

Eure Karola
