FTTC146 Just for You.....

Happy Tuesday!!!

Time is flying by fast and it’s time for a new Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge – FTTC146. Cindy is our hostess and she has challenged us to a *RECIPE*….please use a flower, tag and ribbon on your creations.

Here is my idea….

My inspiration for this card came from the The Paper Player Sketch #74 layout.

The image is from the A Season of Celebrations Set and I stamped it onto a PTI Tag Sale 1 Die. Next, I colored the image with these Copic Markers – B91, B93. The fabbo DP on my card is from the BoBunny Snowfall Collection. I finished the card off with these embellishments - large Brown Striped Ribbon, a matching Brown Button, some Gold Cord, Dazzling Diamond Glitter, Prima Flowers and some Gold Pearls.

Please make sure to swing by the rest of the team ~ Cindy, Heather, Tammy, Beate, Mona and our November Guest Designer Miriam Napier.

Have a wonderful day and I hope you get a chance to play along with us?!?

C4C115, ODBDSLC86 Christmas Joy....

Happy Saturday!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving??? We sure did! I'm enjoying my last few days off and I decided to make this a short post.

My card today is for the ODBD Shining Light Challenge ~ ODBDSLC86. The challenge this week is a *RECIPE* ~ Ribbon, Lace, Glitter with Anything ODBD!!! Please make sure to stop by the ODBD blog for all the details and cards from the rest of the team.

As always I tried to combine my card with this weeks Crazy 4 Challenges ~ C4C115. The theme is to add some sort of *SNOW* on your card! Don't forget to swing by the C4C blog to see all the ideas the *Crazies* had!!!

I found this beautiful BoBunny Design Paper called *Snowfall* and added it to my card. I stamped the image from the Fancy Labels first and added the Bible Verse is from the Christmas Verses Set. Next I added the Lace Ribbon, the yummy Brown Satin Ribbon, a Button, some Gold Cord and the Brown Pearls.

Now it's your turn...have fun crafting!

                                                                         Hugs, ~Silke~ 

FTTC145 Joy is in the Air.....

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Are you excited about Thanksgiving??? We are....we'll be celebrate with some friends and family we have not seen in forever! I have been backing some yummy German Apple Cakes and cookies :) !!! This year I'm way ahead of my Christmas shopping and I don't have to battle the crowd on Black Friday...okay maybe I will...just for the thrill...LOL!?!?

Anyway, since it's Tuesday, we have a fun new Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge ~ FTTC145 for you. Heather is our hostess this week and she has challenged us to a very fun theme to try..... *DRYER SHEET TECHNIQUE* or use *ANY HOUSEHOLD ITEMS*  you can convert!!!

Unfortunately I don't own any dryer sheets....and opted for White Tissue Paper and created the *Faux Silk* technique shown on SCS. I did alter the technique just a bit...I didn't smooth out the paper and I ran the tissue with the White CS straight through my Big Shot. My darlin' image is from the newly released Joy is in the Air Set and the sentiment is from the Holiday Greetings Set.

The image was inked in Memento Black and colored with these Copic Markers ~ C1, C3, B21, R14, R27, G14, E27, E47, Y08 and Colorless Blender. Little tip...when you color on tissue paper make sure to add some good CS underneath to oberserve the ink, otherwise the ink will leak. Next I embellished my card with the DP and CS, Ribbon, Button, Silver Cord, Glitter, a punched out MS Border on the bottom and some Red Kaiser Rhinestones.

My layout for this card was inspired by Iwona's Sketchbook Saturday Challenge #38....

Please make sure to check out the rest of the team for their ideas ~  Cindy, Heather, Tammy, Beate, Mona and our November Guest Designer Miriam Napier.

Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving and thank you for taking the time to swing by today!
