Basteltraum's Challenge #54: Water

Hello fellow crafter!

We are back with a new challenge over at Basteltraum's blog. Theme of the month is everything water related. So let's jump into a crafty world full of splashes and fun!

For my inspiration card I chose the uber cute mermaid by a newer set from MFT. I colored everything with my copics and gave the mermaid's hair more definition and depth with some colored pencils (I used Faber Castell Polychromos). Then I heat embossed the background with this gooorgeous background stamp (also from MFT) and colored it with regular water colors. And because I had so much fun creating it, I made an other one, same coloring and background technique, only a different stamp. The big "Happy Birthday" is one of my favorites (by Mama Elephant).

I hope you got inspired and will play along with us! I would love to see your creations!

Crafty hugs,

Bastel-Traum's Challenge #50: Birthday / Birth cards, white and one color of your choice

Hello my crafty friends!

How are you today?

It seems there is a horde of super mean germs on the way - me and my family are having a kind of constantly cold - I am soooo ready for spring!!!

Nevertheless I found some time for crafting because today starts a new challenge over at bastel-traum's blog! It is all about birthday, birth cards a lot of white and a color of your choice!

That's what I came up with - a cute shaker birth card with some dicut pieces in it and a lot of sequins and micro beads. The stamps are by MFT and I colored them with my Copics. For the background, I used some washi sheet (the blue part with the white polka dots) and on the white top portion I used an embossing folder to imitate some wallpaper. The sentiment is by Createasmile and it means "welcome little bundle".

I hope you play along with us, as this is such an easy theme and lovely to play with!

Have a great day!

Hugs,
