love -card-

Hi all!

A lot of birthdays and celebrations the next months

 so I better make sure I have some cards at hand.

Have to make some masculine cards as well but I find them more difficult than feminine ones.

Just love my lace and flowers!

Made this card for a sweet scrap friend.

The background was created with gesso and embossing powder.

Just sprinkle some embossing powder on the wet gesso.

Enjoy your day!

Brown flower was made with the Hana-Ami flower loom

Close up from the sandy bricks.

Some loose threads from the burlap makes a lovely bundled detail.

The small white pieces came from a necklace.

Have a great day!

layout and card

Hi all!

Today a layout of the two lovebirds, Yiscka and Martin.

Photo was taken when we had a lovely boat trip this summer.

Yiscka hardly want me to take her photo these days,

 but she couldn't run from mom and her camera on the boat! LOL!

ps..she loved all the photo's I took that day so....she happy and mom happy!

Misted and stamped the background.

Sprinkled some mini beads into the wet gesso.

Dabbed some gesso with a sponge to give it a more soft look.

Painted the chippies with gesso.

ATC and mini tag

Hi all!

I heard the song "Radar Love" from the Dutch rock band "Golden Earring" on the radio the other day.

They had a huge number one hit in 1973.

This was my inspiration for this month ATC challenge and swap at Dusty Attic.

This month theme is 'steampunk' and these mini cogs from Dusty Attic were just perfect for it.

Misted and stamped the background.

 Painted the wooden heart with glimmer glaze.

Mini Cogs, DA0689

Also made a mini tag:

Mini Scrolls, DA0685

Hope you liked my *mini* post for today!

Hi all!

When I just finished this card, I noticed the 50 in the patterned paper. Now I have to find someone who is turning 50 since I can't send it to myself ( shhhhh, don't tell.......turning 50 this november!LOL).

Sprinkled some embossing powder on the wet gesso to create the background.

Dusty Attic chippies used:

Hour Glass, DA 0642

Enjoy your day!
