How to: dress like a star

While you're reading this post, I am probably in Germany visiting my friends. We are going to celebrate easter here and I am sure it's gonna be a wonderful time.

And speaking of wonderful time...

This is my last challenge as a GDT for 

and the theme this time is

PEARLS & SWIRLS

The sponsor for this challenge is

  

Before I present my card, I would like to thank the whole team of CRAFTY CATZ for such a wonderful month! You are all so talented and helpful and nice Ladies, I can't believe this is all happening.

My special thanks I would like to direct to Aunty Sue for your care!

I really did my best to be a good GDT... LOL

So, here's my last GDT card for March

I am using a sponsor's image 'Shoe Fetish' and as a big fan of 'Sex and the City' and an owner of over 20 pairs of hgh heel shoes, I couldn't strike better. This should be a card for me LOL The image is colored with promarkers and I added a sexy pear earring and a fancy pearl bracelet to it. The shoe is a glitter one.

And you know? I have got such shoes, too! Here I used a vintage Russian text (which is a fairytale), which comes from an old Russian book I bought at antique shop for peanuts! I used to learn Russian at primary school and I can still read, it's unbelieveable how our memory could be.

I also used a swirl die cut and pearls... lots of pearls! This is probably the most pearly card I've ever made! The sentiment says 'Best wishes', and it's a classical rubber stamp.

I've had a lot of fun creating this card.

Thank you for visiting my blog!

How to: sing Allelujah

Easter is closer and closer and I can feel the Easter heat now. Only the weather doesn't feel the heat, it is still like in the middle of January.

To warm you, we are having a brand new challenge at

 

which is (how surprisingly)

EASTER

The sponsor for this challenge is

 

so it's worth to enter!

My DT card is totally vintage:

I've found this sweet holy image at The Graphic Fairy LCC and you can also grab it HERE. Isn't it lovely?

This flower here was supposed to be a ribbon first, but while sewing something totally different came out. It's made of a strip of material coming from a blouse from a second hand shop, as well as the button is.

The sentiment says 'Happy Easter' and is made by me.

I also used a distressing tool, ink, lace and pearls. The golden flowers are stickers.

Thank you for visiting my blog! Have you got some more Easter cards?

How to: buy some boy's toys

Do you like sketch challenges? I do. It gives me the first kick to start sometimes. If you like sketch challenges, here's something for you: a brand new challenge at

 

A SKETCH

You can rotate it, interpret your way, but we still have to see this sketch. So use your imagination and show us your creativity!

I decided to make a card for a little boy.

I wanted to use this sweet stamp from Jellypark. I won it in one of their challenges, but haven't got an opportunity to use. It's called 'Boy playing with new train' and it reminds me my nephew - he loves trains more than anything! This digi is colored with promarkers.

These little toys are buttons, but I cut off the 'legs' and glued. There's also a shaded twine and a stamped sentiment I bought lately.

The sentiment says 'Best wishes' and I used some scraps for that, as well as staples. I just felt I gotta use them LOL

Thank you for visiting my blog! I can't wait to see what you've created!

How to: be EGGstravagant for easter

I made some vintage cards for this Easter and it seems people like them, 'cos I have no-one left. This is one of those cards.

This sweet image is from The Graphics Fairy LCC and you can find it HERE. 

The butterflies are from Memory Box die cuts: Darla and Kaleidoscope. For the bow I used a piece of material coming from an undershirt bought at second hand store. The button is from my Mom's stash and I believe it could be older than me LOL

The sentiment is a sticker and it says 'Happy Easter'.

How to: make an ecological card

Anyone seen the last week? Come on, yesterday was Sunday, and today is Friday? What is going on??? I really have to slow down...

Friday means it's the next fancy challenge at

which is

SPARKLE & A BOW

Easy as 1-2-3. Or ABC. Or... OK, let's get into the prizes LOL

There are two wonderful sponsors this week and two cool prizes:

 

 

My GDT card is a B'day card and an ecological card, too.

The card consists of: flowers made of a fashion magazine, ribbons dismantled from a bouquet, a butterfly from a dismantled window decoration, scrap of an old lace and tulle and a forgotten button.

The 'sparkling' part is this metallic gold ribbon and gold glitter on a butterfly.

Here's the closeup of the 'Vogue' flowers.

The sentiment says 'Best wishes, Bozena!' - that's my friend's name, to whom this card has been made.

Thank you for visiting my blog and join our challenge for those fantastic prizes!

How to: feel the spring in the air

I can't believe! Snow??? Who's responsible for that? You gotta kidding me...

Snow or not, it's time for the new challenge at

 

and the theme is

EMBOSSING (heat or dry). Super-easy!

 The sponsor for this challenge is

 

For my DT card I used a heat embossing

Unfortunately my printer went out of order, so I couldn't use the sponsor's image. I had to take out all those forgotten rubber stamps and create something with them. I used a copper embossing powder and heated it over a candle - that's my embossing heat gun LOL

This big flower is made from a coffee filter. I used a Tattered Florals die to make it.

The sentiment says 'Happy B'day - this is your day'.

Thank you for visiting my blog and join our challenge - it's up to you what kind of embossing you will use.

How to: hug a bunny

Easter is just around the corner, it seems I still haven't got enough cards for that! One of them has been made for the next challenge at

 

because the theme is

EASTER

Anything easter is invited!

My DT card is vintage this time

 This sweet little girl is from The Graphic Fairy LCC and you can find it HERE.

I made some stitching around using a handy sewing machine. The stitches are not perfect, but I like them anyway. The flowers are made using different punches and tattered floral dies. The sentiment says 'Happy Easter'.

Here's another die used - from Memory Box. This wide ribbon is upcycled from a bouquet.

The bow and button are hand-sewed (I really can't tie a nice bow LOL).

Thank you for visiting my blog and enter our easy challenge this week!
There is also a blogaversary candy here, so don't miss the opportunity to win!
