Elegant in Pink

Hi there,

have you checked out the color combo for the Curtain Call's color challenge on Tracy's blog?

Look at this:

This is my take:

I LOVE the combo and couldn't stop once I got started ... *happy sigh*. I pulled out my "Damask Design" from (.... right! PapertryInk - love that company :)) and stamped the image in pretty in pink. The sentment is from the same set and stampedon the kraft cardbase with fresh snow hybrid from PTI also. Black ribbon is SU, black mat is PTI and the black rhinestone stickers are fom Michael's. I think soon you will see some more cards made with the same colors ...

Take crae my friends and thank you for popping in today

Hugs Tanja

colorQ challenge and some news!

Hi there,

and welcome today. Do you wanna know some news today? ***shout*** colorQ is having a Design Team**** and do you know the best part of it? Some of the most talented ladies come together and design cards for this team - and I have the honor to be a part of this team, wow! If you haven't checked it out yet don't walk... RUN over to the colorQ challenge blog and see all the cards these ladies made for their first week as a DT.

For me this week's color combo was quite challenging: certainly celery, bermuda bay, lovely lilac, lavender lace and white. But I wanted to play with my goodies from PapertreyInk. So I pulled out one of my favorite sets from PTI and started working. And this is the result ...

I hope to see you over at the colorQ - if not for playing but for getting some inspiration ... ;-)

Hugs Tanja

Washed out?

Hi there,

just a quick post today - days are busy at the moment - that's why I am pretty quiet during the last weeks. But it will be better :-)

Today I wanna share a card with you that I made for a contest over at The Greeting Farm. 3 wonderful ladies and I "came together" (well, virtually) and we all made a crad for the recent contest at TGF, then we chose the "best" card and that ws our entry for this week's challenge. The theme was "retro" and I had a hard time with this. So I finally came up with this beauty.

If you search for her at TGF you won't find her because my friend Lorie made just the best card for this contest. So her card went into the race - she hasn't post it yet but I will update this post when she posts, okay?

Thank you for stopping by today!

Hugs Tanja

PapertreyInk bloghop - buttons

Hi there and welcome to the monthly PapertreyInk-bloghop!!!!!

For this month Nichole chose the theme: buttons *gasp*. "Hello. My name is Tanja and I'm addicted to buttons" - that would fit perfectly.

So, a couple days ago I grapped a bunch of scrap paper from my stash and sat down and created some cards. Two of them can you see here:

And since I am the new owner of a "Studio Style" stamp set (thank you PapertreyInk - I LOVE MY PRESENT!!!) designed by Dawn McVey I tried nearly every single stamp from this set :-)) . The sentiments couldn't fit better, don't you agree? ;-)

All supplies are PTI except the ink and the DS - that was from my stash.

Thank you for hopping with me today - I hope to see you soon!

Hugs Tanja

WoJ #2 - still DT call!

Hello ***waving***!

In addition to the last post I made another card with a Whiff of Joy image. How cute is Charlotte laying on the floor and writing a letter? I really enjoy this image. I colored her with my Copics and due to the fact that I just started with this markers I had to color her sweater in plum - no pink or red or yellow here, yet! ;-)

I paired her up with a plum ribbon and some buttons.

Do you see the script-paper-circle-kind-of? Well, I wanted to use a patterned paper that I had in my stash but it didn't seem to find very well. Anything else wasn't good enough either (talk about having an idea in mind) so I pulled out a background basic set from PapertreyInk and made my own background script. What do you think? I know, it doesn't matches the deets over at Katharina's blog very well but it fits, right? :-)

Thank you for visiting me today and a special thank for all your wonderful and kind comments on my last cards - you all are really the best.

Hugs Tanja
