My next card is inspired by the current Runway Inspired Challenge. This is the current photo with an oh-so-gorgeous dress.

What you see translated onto my card: the tree flowers on the right, the beautiful navy behind the sentiment, the thread mimicking the model's blond hair and finally, the washi tape mimicking the wooden box next to her. It all makes sense, right? ;-)

I'll soon have something to create more beautiful paper projects and I cannot wait for it to arrive. Yes, it's a gadget thingy and we know I love gadgets. :-)

The Best of August

Finally, I'm back in blogland so that I can share with you the card I made for my hubby's birthday. He's favourite colour is green and I wanted to combine it with something really summery, because I just love August. I think I like the details very much on this one. :-)

The dragonfly was made by the wife of my godfather. I want her to teach me how to do it. I used to have it in several colours and I'm almost out of them. lol The popped up right part of the card was painted with watercolours and oh how I loved this part. :-) I love the embossing too because there was a lucky accident with the 3rd circle and it looks really cool now I think. The sentiment is also painted and I tried to follow the simple advise of Kristina Werner: up bold, down thin. Well, for sure I should practice but for a first it looks pretty good.

And while I'm here why not to enter this card into this challenge: Simon Says Stamp - Summer

Thanks for tuning in, I'll be back soon! :-)
