Autumn colors with Mo

Hello there crafty friends,

Today I'm here to share with you my card made for current Mo's challenge - Autumn photo inspiration full of autumn colors. This is my most favorite theme because I'm an autumn kind of girl, love this season with all my heart :)

I used a very lovely image called Kate . I'm right into classic English novels of 19 century now and love that atmosphere, manners, words they used. So this very image seemed had come from the pages of my books. So lucky I had found her!

There's nothing hard about this card, but it looks so pretty having an image as a focal point. I just die cut several leaves out of white cardstock ( colored them with Distress inks and finger dabbers) and gold glitter cardstock. Popped up a kraft circle and the image. Added Tim Holtz Clippings Stickers which look like book scraps. Absolutely perfect for my design.

Here's challenge photo inspiration.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a gorgeous autumn day!

Let's make it orange...

Hello there!

This card is so funny, like it so much as I used Cookie image by Mo's digital pencil and colored it with Chameleon pens and pencil. Love this cat from head to toes :)) he's adorable!

I also made this card to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Memuaris. They have the entire interior in orange and even the cat living there is red, so I've colored the Cookie red without any hesitations. The Memuaris blog also has a challenge dedicated to this anniversary, it's called Orange party. The task is to make any project using elements associated with this Store for Scrapbooking. I used the symbol of it - Maris, the cat :)

The design is pretty simple and I think there's no need to comment on something, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask. 

* The sentiment means "Well, hello there!". Maris the cat is obsessed with sitting in different boxes, or others' carts.

You can add your projects ----> Here till March 23rd.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Have a lovely day!

Shine blightly | Birthday card

Hello there friends,

This card was for my boyfriend's sister, who was turned 19 this weekend. She's in love with Harry Potter world and especially loves Ravenclaw. So there was no doubt how to color the mantle of a Wizard Girl by Mo's digital pencil.

• I die cut a panel with stars out of Chrismas themed patterned paper ( yes, I try to find smth proper☺ even in Christmas papers).
• Printed out an image and colored it with Chameleon pens and pencils.
• Found also a patterned paper with Wiard stuff in my stash and cut out a book to compliment the character. 
• The background paper was too busy and interfered the Girl to pop up, so I used a vellum circle to mute it a bit. 
• Used Tim Hotz stickers as a sentiment.
• Added a couple drops of Honey Gold Nuvo glitter drops here and there as well on one of the stars.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Have a magical day!

New Year's card

Hello there,

I have several more holiday-themed cards to show you and then I'm done, I promise :) My holidays were very rich with events or calm and cozy that I didn't even want to check my social media at all or post anything, that's why I have a pile of cards to show after holidays.

For this card, I used adorable image by Mo's digital pencil called Fruitcake. Colored with Chameleon pens and pencils.

For the background I used Sizzix Paper Snowflakes dies: die cut several snowflakes, adhered them directly to the panel and sponged with Juniper Mist Catherine Pooler ink, Cracked Pistachio and Brocken China Distress Oxide inks. Right on top of all adhered die cuts. Really like the result. 

That silver mirror holy wreath is a die cut I designed specially for Agiart - Holy wreath.

A sentiment in a speech bubble is a sticker and it says Happy New Year.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a lovely day!
