Card Patterns Sketch # 97

Happy Saturday! Time for my first card as a Design Team Member of Card Patterns! And it is a fun coincidence that the first sponsor I got to work with is Tiffany Doodles because I was on her Design Team last year. So here is my card for Sketch # 97:

I used the digi Poppy w/Oval, printed it onto cream cardstock and patterned paper, die-cut a circle from the cardstock, colored the leaves and stems and paper-pieced the blossoms. The edges of the blossoms are inked with distress ink and the centers are slightly colored with a brown pencil to create more depth. The largest blossom is adhered with foam tape.

If you have any questions about my projects or products I used, please send me an email - some of you like to ask questions in their comments, but it is difficult to remember them all and I forget about them easily. But an email will be checked and answered as soon as I can!

I really hope you will play with us this week! This sketch is fabulous! Check out the details here!

Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for visiting!!!

Hugs,

Vanessa

Tiffany Doodles November Challenge

Happy - well, not so happy Sunday! Not so happy for me, because it is 5.20 am and I am awake for 3 1/2 hours now after my little girl decided she doesn't want to sleep any longer. Ha, who needs more than 3 hours of sleep?? So excuse any mistakes I make in this post! Today starts a new Tiffany Doodles challenge and the theme this month is "Anything but a card". Here is my project:

I used the "Butterfly" stamp, printed it in three different sizes and colored it with copics. The bag is a simple white paper bag that I covered with patterned paper. I pierced it and hand-stitched the border with floss.

I hope you'll join us! And did you know that Tiffany is looking for new Design Team Members? Soon our Design Team term will be over and Tiffany is a wonderful person to work with! Take your chance! You'll find everything about the Design Team Call here.

Tiffany Doodles October Challenge - Fall

Happy Thursday! Already?? I somehow lost track of time. Here comes a new Tiffany Doodles Challenge! This month's theme is fall. And here is my take:

I used the Flower & Mushrooms digistamp, printed it onto Kraft cardstock and colored it with pencils. I thought the mushrooms look autumnal. I really hope you'll join us this month for your chance to win up to 7 digis!!

Thanks for visiting and have a beautiful day!

Now to the challenge. This month's theme is "Birds & Windows". Fun, isn't it? Here is my sample:

I used Tiffany's adorable Warbler, colored it with distress inks and cut it out. I used the same distress inks to stamp my background with this Tim Holtz stamp set. The sentiment and the script stamp are Hero Arts.

First Tiffany Doodles Challenge!

Happy Monday! It's time for the very first Tiffany Doodles Challenge! From now on there will be a challenge starting every 7th of the month that will last through the end of the month. You'll have 4 chances to win up to 7 Digis from Tiffany Doodles! Here is my sample for the first challenge, which is a sketch challenge:

I used Tiffany's amazing Dogwood Branch, placed it over some background text from this Hero Arts kit and printed it onto pink cardstock. Then I printed it once more without the background text to cut out the three blossoms and pop them up. The blossoms are colored lightly with pencils, the leaves of the branch are colored with Copics.

The butterfly is from this Hero Arts stamps set and colored with pencils, too. And the pearls are Prima Marketing:

Cardstock, patterned paper, sentiment and button are all Papertrey Ink. The ribbon is some of my hand-dyed seam binding. And here is the sketch to follow:

I hope you'll play with us! Check out the challenge and all the fabulous samples of the Design Team and Tiffany on Tiffany Doodles!

Have a beautiful day and thanks for visiting!

New Design Team!

Happy Thursday! While I was in Italy I got a sweet email from Tiffany, asking me if I'd like to be on her Design Team. I was thrilled and honored and immediately said yes - but that little email never made its way from Italy to Tiff! We found out about that last week and now I am proud to announce that I am part of Tiffany Doodles Design Team! I missed the fabulous blog hop :( But I hope you checked out all the amazing creations - they were fab! Here is a card using one of Tiff's beautiful flower images:

This flower is a FREEBIE that you could get here. I colored it with copics. The black background is some yummy Core'dinations Black Magic cardstock that I embossed with the PTI Tin Type Impression Plate and sanded, the patterned paper is PTI.

I hope you have a fabulous day! We have a holiday in Germany today and because of the rain we went to an Indoor Playground - I've never seen so many screaming, crazy, overwrought kids! My little one was calm, but I had to watch that none of the other kids knocked her down :)

Thanks for visiting!

Hugs,

Vanessa
