On Your First Day At School...


A little girl in the neighbourhood is going to have her first day at school soon. In Germany, children are given a cardboard cone filled with sweets or small presents on their first day at school. I didn't have a stamp with a girl with such a cardboard cone, so I used this little boy stamp by Stempelbar with a pink-violet color scheme and hope the little girl will like it nevertheless...

The image is colored with Karisma pencils and Sansodor (Gamsol Magic technique). Design paper by CreaMotion. Background stamp unknown.

Two cards for a double occasion - wedding and baptism



A neighbour asked me to create two cards for a couple who is celebrating their wedding and the baptism of their baby at the same time this weekend. So, this is the first card I came up with.
I chose a Hero Arts wedding stamp set and exchanged one of the stamps with a stork stamp. I used the gamsol magic technique for the coloring (okay, in Europe you can't get gamsol and Prismacolor pencils, so I took some odor-reduced terpentine and Karisma pencils instead), and though I think I need some more practice and perhaps should use other blending stumps, I'm pretty content with the result. I added some stickles and attached the little image panels with dimensionals. The sentiment is computer-printed.



This is the second card I came up with.
I used an old SU set with black ink and added some red stickles. I attached the stamped images with dark red cardstock onto a heart-embossed white cardstock, added a heart brad (uuumphhh, okay, just to cover a little spot...), some polka-dot sheer ribbon, some beaded wire with felt hearts, a computer-generated sentiment and some white gelly pens dots at the lower border.
Look for the second card, too!

What do you think? Which card do you like better?
