*****

And one rabbit bookmark!

Here is another bookmark from polymer caly. This time the I used the rabbit as an addition for the ribbon, so the bookmark itself is not thick and will not affect the book...

One Blue Bookmark


OK, I know. This bookmark is not as flat as a bookmark should be, but it is very flexible and I love it, just the way it is.
I've made this one from polymer clay (the flexible type combined with the sculpey matellic blue).
I used a floral background stamp for the texture and added two beads for embellishments... and voila!

Penny Black Challenge - A Gift

This week's Penny Black challenge was to make a gift

It just so happened that I wanted to make a gift for a little todd who recently turned two (as a matter of fact I remember her birth date quite vividly cause she was born 5 days before my little cub, She on Sunday, and he on Friday...).


I find that Crayon Rolls are a great gift for toddlers. They love them!


I stamped my little hedgie on the front of the roll (once again, sorry for the out of focus image) using the VersaCraft ink (heat set ink that's great on fabrics) and...Voila!

A Valentine Card



This is a valentine card I've made a year ago. The picture is not so great, but I'm just too lazy to take another pic...

I used the Hero Arts floral stamp for the background and hand colored it with my Faber Castel watercolor pencils. I really love using them.

I'm not sure you can see it in the photo, but the L-O-V-E initials are embossed with gold embossing powder.

This is one of the very first cards I've made and I really like it.

CPS #109



Sorry for the awful picture...I've only finished working on the card now (mignight in GMT+2)...

This is my first attempt of designing a card for the CPS challenge.

Supplies:
Fresh Alphabet by Sugarloaf, Starry night stamp by RubberStampede (for the background)
Inks: Brilliance (Tsukineko), White Frost (ColorBox)
Glitter Powder, Gold Glitter Gel Pen
White embossing powder (Tsukineko)
Faber-Castel watercolor pencils - I used them for the owl (I don't have an owl stamp...yet...so I had to sketch one, hehe), for the background and for the tree stumps (also sketched...).

I'm not very happy with the fact the the left tree stump looks like it's floating above the ground, but this is what happens when you work really late and also being very tired (my little toddler has woken up soooo many times last night...)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
