Happy Birthday Wreath & Giveaway

Hi, all! Vladka here today!
Wreaths are one of my favorite motives and so, Build-A-Grapevine Wreath is one of my favorite die. I used it together with Flourish Vine and Hula Owl die. With the last one I cut out just little flowers. All pieces were cut out of kraft paper and colored with Distress Inks, displayed also on this photo.
First I colored the wreath and started with Walnut Stain and continue with Vintage Photo. For this kind of coloring I'm always using Ink Blending Tool. This is my favorite way of coloring. Flourish vine and little flowers were colored the same way.
From red cardstock, I cut out words Happy and Birthday, three times each and glue them on top of each other. This way I get thicker and more interesant die cut. 
For finished touch I also added little bird. Card base is cut out with die and background is made with impression plate.
This is it for today! Have fun!

Two cards for Holy Confirmation


Hey, Vladka here. This time in more gentle tone :)

This is the perfect timing to make some cards for Holy Confirmation and sentiment means in Slovenian language exactly that . I always like to use pigeon as a symbol of Holy Spirit and these two cards are no exception. I didn't use a lot of colours on purpose, because I wanted clean and gentle cards for this occasion. For both cards I also made bookmarks in the same style as little additional touch for both projects.
I made little "Bible" from three layers of paper and top layer is also stamped with text. Branch and pigeon, made with Whimsy Bird & Cage die, gives to the card some freshness and colours.
The second card is more typical for Confirmation. Here I added Ornate Cross die and put pigeon together with Greenery on it.
I combined different dies for these two projects and here they are. Click on the picture will link you to the store





Have a great day!

Love is in the Air


It's the perfect season for cards filled with love and sweet wishes.  With out new Valentine collection cards are easy peasy.  This card was created using the Whimsey Bird and Cage die.  Granted it's great for Valentines but the best part about this die is you really can use it anytime for any occasion.  The sentiment is stamped on the Airplane with Banner and Sign another one that I use over and over.

I hope you have had a chance to participate in our current challenge....just create a layout and use one of our dies and you might just win a prize.  Here's the link to our current challenge.

Hugs,
