Sending WAVES of birthday wishes - Guest Designer for More Than Words

 

Last February I was the winner of the mini challenge at More Than Words challenge blog (you can see my card HERE), so I was very honored when the ladies from MTF asked me to be their Guest Designer for May mini challenge.

The Special Guest post.

The challenge is to use the word 'Wave' on your card, tag or atc.

When I saw Mintay Papers 'Marina' collection in my stash, I just had to use them. Such a beautiful collection!

I went back to my former style of multi layers, vintage and distressed look.

It also goes for the color challenge at Just Us Girls:

Headliner at The Paper Players

TGIF!!! and how lovely that it's a sunny day here, so no wonder my card is a fluttery one.

I blended ink in colors following the challenge at The Paper Players:

I then stamped the butterflies and sentiment, die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die, die cut with the same die from a coordinating cs, just to pop a little behind the panel and adhered it to my white cs basis. 

To finish up my card, I added some yellowish dew drops.

It also goes for the following challenges:

Another dream card with flowers - Follow Your Dreams

When I made THIS card, I stamped and die cut more elements than I used, so with what was left, I made another card, same flowers and leaves, same colors and same theme of 'Dream', but a different design and a different message - Follow Your Dreams.

Again I would like to enter it to the mini challenge at More Than Words, to use the word Dream on a card, tag or ATC:

It also goes to the 'Anything Goes' challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches.

Dream without fear - MTW mini challenge

 

More Than Words has a mini challenge, creating a card, a tag, and ATC of a postcard, and they asked to use the word 'Dream':

Such a great challenge towards the new year, don't you think?

For my card, I stamped the florals and the leaves (Stampin' Up In Symmetry) in blue, orange, yellow and gray. I then assembled them in the left bottom of the white cs basis, added the stamed sentiment (Finnabair for Prima), and some glittery navy blue enamel dots.

It also goes for the 'Anything Goes' challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches.

I wish all who celebrate Christmas, a very Mery Christmas and a happy holidays!

Find your balance - CSI case file no. 316

A 2nd layout for the Corona days... it's my DT layout for CSI case file no. 316, only I'm a little late for the reveal... here's the inspiration photo with the 'clues':

I used all 5 colors in th scheme. From the clues I used chevrons, tirangles, clouds, flowers, leaves, branches, butterflies, gold (gold embossing over a stencil in the background), stamps, scallops and 'rain drops' for the weather-realated element.

My jouranling is about our new 'everyday', the new routine, how I need to find my balance everyday from the begining, in a state of social distance. A very challenging period.

The colors went so well with the April challenge at Lindy's blog, teal, purple and pink:

Lindy's products that I used-

Starburst sprays: Azure Sea Asters, Hi Maintenance Magenta, Sweet Violet Purple Teal.

Shaker - Time Travel Teal.

Embossing powders: Madonna Rob Blue Gold, Queen Sheba's Silver and King Midas Gold.

I loved how you can play around with one product and get different shades of the color, only by adding water. So purple and pink were both from the purple shimmers - from the bold to the mute shades.

This layout was also inspired by April challenge at More Than Words - Everyday plus Bugs/birds:

We have a new 'everyday' now, not like we used to have. At this chaotic and challenging period, every day I need to find my balance from the begining, remember to breathe, relax. I often do this when I walk with my dog in the early mornings.

Here're some close-ups on the details:

I wish you all good health.

The first card goes for 3 challenges:

 Retro Rubber Challenge - tic tac toe.

I used the bottom row - birthday, masculine, twine. The stains stamps are about 4 years old (at least that's when I bought it), and the sentiment stamp is even older (I think I have it for 5-6 years).
