More than 10...

My project for the Use 10 Embellishments Challenge in the Moxie Fab World

 Create a paper crafted card that uses 10 or more embellishments in an innovative way.

I was in the mood for a clean and simple card:

...15 clear, white and blue rhinestones and pearls on this card! 

(This gorgeous stamp is "Fabulous Flourish" from Heroarts)

Thanks for stopping by today!

Autumn´s finally arrived

The Gingham Challenge

This is my entry for The Gingham Challenge at the Moxie Fab World... why is it, that I always enter challenges so late? Better late than never :-)  don´t you agree?!

And I think this card also fits in the CAS-UAL FRIDAYS challenge: Put bling on it!

Thanks for visiting me today! Have a nice new week!

Friends

With today´s card ....

 

....I´d like to participate in 3 fabulous challenges:

Hero Arts´ February 2012 Contest 
 

stamp sets: "Canvas Stripes", "Flower Lady" by Hero Arts

Moxie Fab World´s Tuesday Trigger: Chiclectic

and

A Passion for Papertrey - Stripes
 

stamp sets: "Postmarks", "Botanical Silhouettes" by Papertrey Ink

This pretty tissue paper rose was a handmade gift from LINDA - THANK YOU again! 

Last week I ordered 2 "handmade/created by" stamps, because I wanted such stamps for a long time time now. Believe it or not - 2 days later I flipped through my (very) old "stamp stash" and found this stamp - I love it - and did not know, that I had it! It was part of a stamp set, so perhaps that´s the reason I did not pay any particular attention to it. 

("Handgemacht von" is German for "handmade by")

So hear my advice: go through your old stash from time to time!!

Thanks for visiting me today! Have a fabulous new week!

Bling It Up!

MY FAVOURITE TECHNIQUE!!! So I HAVE to participate in HEROARTS November challenge!

Bling It Up! - Bring out the trimmings and make your projects shine! “Blinged” projects can be of ANY theme. 


I LOVE all things "blingy", shiny, glittery, sparkly... I can´t get enough of the stars at night or the sunshine on a water-surface or snowy landscape... or rhinestones or glitter.... or diamonds or zircons... or whatever sparkles in the light ! LOVE IT!

But there are also more decent ways to bling something up : PEARLS!! Love them, too!!

When I started working as a chemist 20 yrs. ago I gifted myself with a beautiful pearl necklace with a soft rose-colored shine... I adore it to this day!

So everytime I get the chance to bling something up - I will do it!

This HEROARTS stamp ("Peacock") my Mum gifted me with, is perfect for this purpose!

I stamped and embossed the image and colored it in with my Promarkers.

I´d also like to enter this in The Cuttlebug Spot Challenge "Anything goes"

Thanks so much for stopping in today!
