cqc #74 Fly away

Hi there,

another sky theme - you may ask? YES - Arielle has chosen a great color combo for this week's colourQ challenge and I had to go with the sky. And other than that... well, my hubby will be deployed by the beginning of July and I wanted to have a head start with guy-cards I plan to send to him. So you will see the sky and the clouds and the ballons and all the kites and other stuff like that more often .... (pssst, because it's related to his work;) )

For my card today I used a set from There she goes - darn, I always forget the name but they have just one that is with ballons and scenery ... . And the blue ballon was taken from the "fly away" set by PTI. I stamped the birds in black and added just a little glittery shimmer with a Sakura pen but on the photo you see just the glitter, grrr!

The background was sponged with broken china distressed ink. It looks stunning in reality but not on the pic - so sad.

Thank you for stopping by today - take care, my friend

Waiting Tilda - Love U

Hi there,

thank you for stopping by today.

I wanna show you a Magnolia card that I created for the Friday Sketchers challenge. I got this Tilda from one of my stamping buddies from SCS.

We are doing a special swap/ challenge. The host of the month stamps 3-4 images and sends them out to the participants. Each of the ladies creates a card using the image and post it on her blog. It is so fun to see all the different cards made with the same image.. I love the paper Tilda was stamped on - so sparkly!!!! can you see it the picture in the right? It' even sparklier in reality :)

Thank you Linda for this one!!

cqc#73 dotty hi

Hi there,

it's time again for the colorQ challenge. And Arielle has chosen "my" colors for this week's challenge. LOVE all kind of blues but I seem to have trouble getting a card done with them ... So I stayed with the cas style and used 2 PTI sets "Dot Spots" and "Outlined Alphabet"".

Unfortunately I messed up the "i" while coloring in poor light ...grrr! We wanna see your creation - come and play with us!!!

Violets bookmark and card

Hi there,

I'm back with another project using my Year of flowers: violets. This week's Make it Monday at Nichole Heady's blog she is featuring the "glitter with scor-tape"-technique. Last week I played with my goodies and used glitter on a strip of score-tape. I'm kind of sad that the glitter did not turn out that bright. But it's okay. The main focus was the bookmark anyway - it's a gift for my sister who loves to read.

Despite the paper, glitter and doily I used PTI only :) LOVE THIS COMPANY :)

Thank you for visiting me today and thak you so much for your encouraging comments - thay really mean so much to me.

Special hugs Tanja

Hi there - violets

Thank you for popping today - gotta run.... It's great-grandmother's birthday today and the kids brought home Lice from preschool :::rolleyes:::. What an exciting life, hum? :)

PTI Make it Monday #2

Hi there!

Hope your Sunday is a good one so far.

I played with the Make it Monday chalenge over at Nichole Heady's blog. The theme is "sentiments on vellum strip".

Last year during PTI's 3rd birthday celebration I won an awesome prize - this "Year of flowers: violet" included. And ever since it hasn't seen much ink. So I pulled it out and played with it for quiet a while. As a result you can see the card above but stay tuned for the next days. I have a couple more things to share made with this combos :)

Have a good rest of the weekend

Hugs Tanja

Hi there,

it took me exactly 3 days to get this post to live. I think blogger and I have a very special relationship - I can say: I do not like blogger!!!

But well... Arielle had another great color combo for this week over at the colorQ-challenge blog. I would love for you to play with us. There are always so many awesome cards!

And I'm happy because this is another PTI card ..... :) Can you say I'm a little bit addicted :))

Wishing ou a wonderful weekend

I made this card for Nichole Heady's color swatch challenge today. BTW did you follow through the birthday activities over at the PTI blog - oh boy, this company is an awesome one, I tell ya!

I chose this color combo from Melissa Philips.

Okay, my card is not that beautiful but it meets the requirements. :) And I had fun making it - it's a PTI-only card.

Friday Fairy

Hi there,

I'm back with a card I made from one of the wonderful card kits I got from my Secret Sister during the last round of SS-swapping. She put together so gorgeous kits and is out of this world generous too- huge hugs!!!!

I went crazy with all this pink and bright spring colors. I colored this fairy with my Copics and tried to add a little bit of grass - I saw this "technique" on my friend Arielle's blog the other day and had to give it a try - not sure if it works for me. I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers which seamed just perfectly fitting :)

Thank you for stopping by today

Hugs Tanja

cqc #71 yeah for PTI

Hi there,

are you already tired of seing PTI cards here on my blog? Well, sorry! BUt I have another PTI card for you today :)

Arielle has chosen this gorgeous colors for this week's colourQ challenge and after trying and playing with my stamps and working..... this is what came out. I love this subtle colors all in one place and my #1 favorite "tool" when it comes to work with lots of colors is making my own patterned paper. The Guide Line series from PTI is just perfect for doing this.

You need to play with us this week - I want to see what you will come up with!

Hugs Tanja
