Inspired by others - Mother's Day Card

Happy Monday! 

It's actually raining here today, so I'm not so sure if it's a happy one or not, but let's stay positive and make it happy :0)

Today, I am sharing a card that we'll have to keep a secret for a while, as it's a Mother's Day card for my own mama. And... why keeping it a secret, you may ask, since Mother's Day was yesterday? Well... in Poland, we celebrate it on May 26th - enough said, right? 

I recently saw a similar design by one of MFT's designers, Torico, and I absolutely fell in love with it. I knew it would be perfect for my Mother's Day card! Her design was perfect in its simplicity, but I wanted to add a little something of my own to it - hence the fluffy sheep, and a lot more colour --> these do represent my style, don't they? 

Here it is:

I am entering this into the following challenges:

I do hope my mum likes it, once she finally gets and opens it. For now, shhhh! ;o)

Hi Everyone,

Happy Sunday, and Happy Mother's Day to all of you who are celebrating (I go by the Polish celebrations, which are on May 26th)!

Today just a quick post to share a simple and lovely card I made with my recently won Uniko stamps (I must say, I do like them!). This was so quick to put together that it's honestly hard to believe :o) The design was partially inspired by the current BINGO challenge over at Passion for ProMarkers.

I am entering the card into the following challenges:

Passion for ProMarkers - BINGO (Kraft/bling/emboss or square card/bling/text)

SSS Monday Challenge - It's a frame up

I love ProMarkers - Anything goes with optional one layer card

See you again soon,

CASometry Challenge 3 - Stage 4 with Jane's Doodles

Hi Everyone,

Is your time flying as fast as mine is?! I cannot believe that it's already May, it feels like Christmas was just a few weeks ago... Ha! And speaking of Christmas - I guess it's gonna be time soon to start preparing cards for Xmas 2017 ;o) But, for now, let's focus on spring and summer for a while still! 

Today I have another card for Anna Kossakovskaya's CASometry Challenge - stage 4. There's only one to go! I'm so happy that so far I've managed to participate in all stages, and I will do my utmost best to make something for the final stage, too! 

1 random stamp set + friendship

This time I randomly chose a stamp set by Jane's Doodles (yep, most of my Jane's Doodles gorgeous sets have been in the NBUS pile so far, so this challenge proves really good for me finally playing with these!), Double Trouble. It's such an adorable set! 

Initially, I was going to use both the boy and the girl images, and make them represent friendship, but then I thought on my potential recipients of this card, and decided that sticking to the girl only will actually make it more usable for me. I really wanted the girl to hold a ballon (with the sentiment on it), so I used a WPlus9 set for this purpose - if you are adventurous, however, you can always just draw one yourself :o)

There are a few boo-boos here and there on the card, but I won't be pointing them out, haha! You either see them, or let's pretend that it's all perfect! Altogether, I'm pretty happy with the little scene I created. The sentiment matches the theme, I can totally use it to post out, AND there's a bonus of a googly eye that makes me giggle every time I look at the card whilst it's still in my craft room. 

I am entering the card into the following challenges:

CASometry Challenge 3 - stage 4 (stamp set + friendship)

Seven Hills Crafts - May colour challenge (picture no 3)

Passion for Promarkers - BINGO (Dies/Bling/Birthday) - googly eye and shimmer count for bling, right? :-)

SSS Monday Challenge - it's a frame up

I Love ProMarkers - Anything goes with one layer option

Have a great, happy day!
