Sunshine in Winter

Hello!

I've been walking 8 km in snow today, can you believe?! It's not very cold, the Sun is shining, the snow looks beautiful, as if it had been covered with diamonds and thousands and thousands of crystals and isn't going to melt because of the frost, which is good. :)
I have a card to show you and I'm entering the following challenges with it:

Roses on Paper/Belles 'n Whistles challenge - which is a sketch .
Stamp with Stampavie and more - the theme is - "Love card/Valentine"
A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge - the theme is "Free Style".
Cute Card Thursday challenge is called -"Blooming Gorgeous"
Dutch Dare challenge has the theme - "Summer in Winter"

My card:



The stamp is one of my favourite Belles 'n Whistles stamps - "Sunshine & Apples". The papers are from stash. The blue flower is Poppicrafts. The sentiment is Whiff of Joy, the heart stamp is SU. The laces and buttons are from stash.



Image coloured with watercolours as usual



And the sketch at ROP/BnW challenge:


And I also have an exciting news to share: I've been choosen to be a February Guest Designer at the Stamp with Stampavie and more challenge blog! Woohoo!! Can't wait for February, see you there! ;)



Thank you for stopping by and have a Sunshiny day! :)

Hugs, Vanja

Hello!
I made a card which fits quite a few challenges. I love that!

Whiff of Joy challenge is a recipe: 4 patterned papers, 3 bling, 2 flowers (there is another option, too, but I used this one). They are also having a DT call, so I'm entering my card for that, as well
Stamp with Stampavie and more challenge is to make a Birthday card for a boy, they are also looking for guest designers, so I'm entering my card for the call, too.
Simon Says challenge is called - "Punch it" and I used two punches.
Lily of the Valley challenge is a sketch which I followed
Basic Grey challenge - is called - "Animals", I think Henry fits very well. :)
Stamp with Fun challenge - has the theme - "Baby" and I think this card would go well for a baby boy. :)
And the Quixotic Paperie challenge - which is called - "Ink up and old stamp", I bought this stamp about a year ago, but I've been stamping for a year and a half, so this is old.

My card:



The stamp is "Henry the celebrating Mouse" from the Whiff of Joy. The papers are all Basic Grey. I used two punches, an edge and a star punch. The flowers are Poppicrafts. The lace, ribbon and the green gems are from stash.



Henry was coloured with watercolours



The sentiment stamp is Stampendous

Whiff of Joy, GDT call

Hello!
Katharina from the Whiff of Joy is having another GDT call, it will be every two months from now on, just follow the link or click on the banner to read all about it.

Katharina designed this fabulous sketch for everyone to follow:



I decided to enter and I made my card last night.



I used one of the first three Whiff of Joy stamps which I bought in Autumn in 2008. I own many WoJ stamps now, they are all beautiful, but I think this is my all time favourite, "Willow with cookies", she reminds me of me. :) The papers are Basic Grey. The brown flower is Poppicrafts, the other one is Prima. The little roses are from Bunny Zoes Crafts. The sentiment is also Whiff of Joy, the cute teapot charm, too. The rest is from stash.



Willow was coloured with watercolours as usual and I coloured the little details on her clothes with Sakura pen.



Just a closer look at the flowers and charm



Dont' forget to enter the Whiff of Joy GDT call, it ends on January 23rd.

Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely day! :)
Hugs
