Last GD Card for Crafts and Me - You're Lovely

Good day to you all folks. I hope you are all doing fine. Over here in Luxor, Egypt, Ramadan started last Saturday. That is a very important time for Muslim people. But it is also very hard for them at the moment because it is very hot here. In the daytime it is at the moment around 46 degrees! So during the day it is everywhere very quiet. Every body is in the house, sleeping. In the daytime you could shoot a canon in the street and hit nobody and nothing! Lol! But in the evening and night it is very busy on the streets. They all go out, shopping or visiting family or friends. But so far about Egypt again.
Back to my first card for today because today I have two posts for you people.
This is my last card as a GD for Crafts and Me. And I must say, I did it with great pleasure. It was so nice to play with their lovely digi's. So Thanks Teresa from Crafts and Me to let me be a Guest Designer!
For this last card I used a stamp from the very talented artist Morgan Fitzsimons. She makes a wide range of all kind of different digi stamps: Fantasy, Ethnic, Animals, Womans Heads and Flowers.  This digi is called "Ariane". She is not yet in the shop but I'm sure she will come soon.
The papers I used are from a paper pad from K&Company. I inked the papers up with Distress Ink, "Walnut Stain". Behind the papers I made a tag. The corners on the right side of the card I cut with a corner punch.
The round sentiment stamp and the stamp on the tag are coming from Lili of the Valley.
Further more I used an edge punch from Martha Stewart.
The little fence is made with a die cut from Memory Box.
The vine leaves behind the flowers a made with a die from Creative Expressions.
The little butterfly is a die from Die-Namics.
The flowers are coming from Wild Orchid Crafts and the hydrangea from Prima Marketing. In the centre I put a spacer with a split pen. On the flowers I put some Stickels, "Star Dust".
The flat back pearls, rhinestones and ribbon are coming from my stash.
The inside of the card I decorated also. For that I used a nesting die from Nellie Snellen and some flowers.
I do hope you like this card again. Thanks every body for visiting my blog and leaving a comment.

Crafts and Me GD Card - Adore

Good day to you all people. I hope everybody is doing fine. Over here in Luxor temperatures dropped to around 38 degrees. So that's a little better then last week. Also in the night we have a nice cool breeze and then it is lovely to sit on my roof terrace and enjoy the silence of the night. The only thing you hear are the crickets and the frogs.
So far about Egypt again. Back to my new card.
This is my third card as a Guest Designer for Crafts and Me.
This digi is made by the artist Emily Louella. She makes beautiful digi's in greyscale. Never coloured a greyscale digi before. This was my first one and I have to amid, it was so fun to do! This beauty is called "Blossoming". I coloured her mainly in browns because I wanted to give this card a bit of a Vintage look. Only used another colour for the flowers and the background.
The papers I used are from a super old paper pad. I think that was one of the first paper pads I ever bought. It is from Graphic 45, "Baby 2 Bride". The papers from this pad fit so well with a Vintage card. I also used a piece of corrugated cardboard.
I distressed all the papers and inked them up with Distress Ink, "Walnut Stain". And after that I smeared some white Gesso so here and there.
Behind the papers I put a little white doily.
The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley. I cut it out with a little tag die. Do not know any more from which company. After that attached it with some brads to the card.
All the flowers and Vintage Seam Binding are coming from Wild Orchid Crafts. For the bling put some Stickels, "Star Dust" on it.
The leaves behind the flowers are dies from Cheery Lynn and CreaLies.
The big Guipure Lace is coming from The Ribbon Girl.
The metal corner, flat back pearls and rhinestones are coming from my stash.
I do hope you like this card again. And if you like, head over to the Challenge of Crafts and Me. The May Challenge is still open and it is an Anything Goes one. How easy!
Thanks every body for passing by and I do hope to see you soon again! Have a nice Thursday.

Crafts and Me GD Card - Happy Birthday

Good day to you all people. First of all, thanks to everybody who visits my blog and leaving such sweet comments on my cards!
Today I have a new Guest Designer card for you which I made for Crafts and Me.
This time it is with a digi from Hannah Lynn, "Library Fairy". I coloured her with my Copic Markers. And after that along the edge I put some Stickels, "Star Dust" for some nice shine. On the glasses of her specs I put some Glossy Accents. It only does not show on the pictures.
The papers I used are from a paper pad from Studio Light.
The sentiment stamp is coming from Lili of the Valley, set 26 "Simply Sophisticated".
The edge I punched with an old punch of Martha Stewart. The heart tag behind the papers is made with a Doohickey from Magnolia.
The long swirl is one of my favourites and it comes from Memory Box, "Whimsical Flourish".
The tag on the right side is a piece of a die from Noor! Design, 6002/0134.
The little butterflies are also made with a punch from Martha Stewart.
All the papers I inked up with Distress Ink, "Dusty Concord".
The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Again for some bling I put some Stickels, "Star Dust" on it.
The Vintage Seam Binding is coming from The Ribbon Girls. I glued a key charm under it with some Scrappers Floss.
The flat back pearls, rhinestones and charm are coming from my stash.
The inside of the card I decorated also. Used a paper from the paper pad and made a rectangle with a Crealies XXL die, nr. 24 "Stitch". The edges I stamped with a stamp from Unique also in Distress Ink, "Dusty Concord".
Well, I hope you like my second DT card. I know I had a great time colouring and making it.
I wish you all a lovely weekend and thanks for passing by. See you soon again!

You're Special

Good day to you all. I hope every body had a nice beginning of the week.
Over here in Luxor we have a little bit of a heatwave with temperatures around 44 degrees. And the sun is scoring hot!
I also had a little bit of some printer problems this week. My old printer finally gave up. So I had to buy a new printer. And guess what, here in Luxor you can choose between 2 (!) printers; a laser jet or an ink jet and they are both from HP. Lol! So you are really not standing in a shop deciding forever which printer you want to buy. Hahaha. So i did buy the laser printer because I colour with the Copics and a lot of ink jet printers have problems with that.
But so far about my printer troubles. Back to my card for today.
This card is made with a digi of Hannah Lynn from Crafts and Me. This beauty is called "Dahlia". I coloured her with my Copic Markers. And around the edge of the stamp I made some extra bling with Stickels, "Star Dust".
The papers I used for the card coming from a paper pad from Prima Marketing, "Melody". All the papers I inked up with Distress Ink, "Walnut Stain". Behind the papers I put a doily. And ad the other side I make a tag, glued design paper on it and stick it behind the papers. The bow is made with Vintage Seam Binding from Wild Orchid Crafts.
The sentiment stamp is from a set from Inkadinkado.
The leaves behind the flowers is a die from Noor! Design, 6002/0046 and a Doohickey from Magnolia the Heart Swirl. The little cut out dragon fly is also a Doohickey from Magnolia.
The flowers are coming from Wild Orchid Crafts except the fabric flower. I really do not know any more where it is coming from. Have it already for ages. The shining spacer in the middle is from The Hobbyhouse. On the flowers I also put some Stickels, "Star Dust".
The flat back pearls, rhinestones and mesh are coming from my stash.
The inside of the card I decorated also. Only use a beautiful paper from the paper pad. And a little dragon fly and two hearts made with a punch of Martha Stewart.
I really hope you love this card again. Thanks for passing by and love to see you soon again!
