Delicate Decorations by Create A Smile | Polychromos Colouring | Mama Elephant

Honestly, I am not too happy with this card. I wish I had chosen white cardstock instead of kraft so the colours would be more intense. But then I wouldn't be able to use the white pencil. Oh well, it's still a pretty decent result, right. 

Today I am also on the Danish Operation Write Home blog - Operation Skriv Hjem - where we share Christmas card inspiration every month on the 24th. Go and check it out HERE. 

Polychromos colours: 

101 + 124 + 223 + 225

183 + 186

Have crafty fun!

Christmas Card | Mama Elephant | Watercolor Technique | ZIG Clean Color Real Brush

It's wonderful to make Christmas cards through out the whole year. This time I went for a watercolour technique with my ZIG's. The colour combination red and grey is gorgeous and the result amazing.

Go over to the Danish Operation Write Home blog, where I and two fellow crafters share Christmas card inspiration through out the year on the 24th of each month.

I have used the following ZIG colours for the flower: 

Geranium Red + Dark Brown
Green + Deep Green
Light Gray

I have used a watercolour brush to blend and pull the ZIG colour. 

I also got a chance to use my new Hero Arts Ornaments nested dies and just love how this looks. 

Have a wonderful day, 

Pia

OCC Rainbow Maker - Rainbow Motion Stamping

DAY4

This card I made for day 4 of the Rainbow Maker class with Online Card Classes.

I just couldn't resist making this card. It was simple to make using the MISTI. 

 This card brings back life to the old stamp set from Mama Elephant. 

After making this one I am considering making a similar one but with more nuances of the the colours. This way I can make the boy "run" further across the card front. 

 

Have a splendid Thursday :)
