love birds

Hi everyone,

Today I decided to play along with the colour Q challenge #70, the colours are so yummy and also purfect for a Valentine's card, my first this year.

Here's my creation:

The birds are from the Love you much stamp set from Stampin' up!

The rounded flags were created very simply by folding a DSP punched circle in half over a linen thread. I adhered them with dimensionnals for a more realistic effect.

Have a nice stampin' day !!!

Happy New Home!!

Hi everyone,

For today' card I decided to use one of my favorite techniques for coloring, marquers directly on kraft, here's what I came up with :

It doesn't show on the picture but I sprayed an homemade mixture of shimmer and alcohol of the entire image, the shine is subtle but I really do love the effect.

Have a nice stampin' weekend !!!

Never endind birthday card

Hi everyone,

Today's card is a little out of the ordinary, it's a never ending card. It as been around for a long time now and they still amaze anyone who receives it!! A good idea for that special someone or for somebody who as everything. Here's mine

 and when you fold it open, it reveals another image...

 Then another one

 and finally a place for the message

 and if you continue folding you'll be back where you started!!

It's a lot of extra work but oh so worth it.

Have a nice stampin' day !!!

Sparkly Fun Friday -- Gifty Bella with A Spoon Full of Suger Challenge #133

Sparkly Fun Fridays features a sparkly or glittery project using shimmer paints, embossing powders, glitters, rhinestones... anything shiny to welcome the weekend in a fun way!!!

 

Hi everyone,

It sparkles and it shines and it's Christmas all over here in Montreal! We got a good dump of the white fluff at the beginning of the week and it got me into the spirit of things. And I've decided to play along with A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge #133, which was to make a Christmas card!

Ooooh, lots of sparkly things on here. First of all, the background was dry embossed with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder and my Big Shot -- love the effect. Its different shades of whites I got from the embossed CS really reminds me of patches of snow. The stamp is from Stamping Bella but the name escapes me. I know it's not particularly a Christmas stamp but I made it into one by adding lots of glitter and a little tag that says "merry" from Stampin' Up!'s Tiny Tags stamp set.

Some White Opal Liquid Pearls on the dress, lots of Dazzling Diamonds on the gift and a bling on the tag gives this a very festive look. Oh, and let's not forget the glitter shoes and bows!!! Yeah, I went all out. Here are the markers I've used.

Have a nice stampin' day !!!
