You Colour My World

Pink, light green, polkadots, spring... so many fun challenges right now and I´d like to play!

This one was for my Mum - a little "Thank you" in addition to a sweet treat to say thank you for giving me an understanding of art and creativity while growing up. She always enjoyed all kinds of art - the perfect addition to my Dad, who sparked my passion for photography.

So here´s my little gift for her:

The pretty butterfly is the Lydia Butterfly die by Memory Box, the paper bag by Rayher.

"Smile" is a die by Penny Black... I enjoy these word dies so much lately!

I had nice soft colours in my mind and enjoyed painting the background with watercolours. 

I used the Vintage Roses stamp set by Altenew and the "Thanks" by Impression Obsession...

For the inside I used my License Plate Mini Alphabet Set by QuicKutz:

I´d like to enter these challenges with my card and paper bag envelope:

The Sparkle and Shine Challenge with this photo inspiration

and

Virginia´s View Challenge #14: Layers and Dimension

and

Winnie&Walter "Create your own background"

and

The Shabby Tea Room "Pretty in Pink"

und
die Steckenpferdchen-Challenge "Punkte/dots"... hier mach ich zum 1. Mal mit!

Thank you for being my guest today!

It´s high time

Yes, it´s high time to participate in 2 fun challenges, which both end April 25th!

 ----- Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge ---- and ---- Sparkle and Shine Challenge FOUR ----

For these 2 challenges I combined products from Penny Black (die set "hooray"), Altenew (stamp set "Vintage Roses") and Memory box (die set "Resting Birds"). I´m soooo sorry, that I don´t have anything from Winnie&Walter by now... :-(

I´m totally in love with glitter paper and die cuts and vellum at the moment - want to use these components all the time!

In addition I gave the birds some dimension with Glossy Accents:

Thanks for stopping by today! 

First Snow

... even though I´m a loyal fan of summer, I nevertheless appreciate the beauty of winter... this card was the attempt to express how beautiful and peaceful a wintry night can be...

... obwohl ich ein großer Sommer-Fan bin, weiß ich doch auch die Schönheit des Winters zu schätzen.... diese Karte war der Versuch auszudrücken, wie schön und friedlich eine klare Winternacht sein kann....

I used a Memory Box die on white glittery paper and dark blue designer paper for the night sky.

I´d like to participate in these  challenges:
Winter Blues at CAS-ual Fridays
Codeword: Snow  - the 1st challenge at Addicted to CAS

Ich möchte diesmal auch gerne bei Der 1. Schnee  bei Fun with Shapes and More mitmachen : die Schneelandschaft entstand mit einer Memory Box Die, die Zierleiste am unteren Rand des Designerpapiers mit einer "ek success" Stanze.

Thanks for stopping by today - have a nice week everyone!

Vielen Dank für´s Vorbeischauen - habt eine schöne Woche!
