It is friday again and so it is time for another challenge on Dare U 2 Digi stamp. This week the theme is gingham and stitching. I really liked this challenge and all my buddies fromthe design team loved it to! Please take a look at their gorgeous cards!

I have chosen to send my card to Darin. I made another card especially for him and that one I am going to send him.
Voor mijn kaartje van deze week heb ik een gloednieuwe afbeelding van Christine Dark (sketchingstamper) gebruikt: Oriental blossom. Het is weer een geweldig mooie afbeelding en ik wilde hem ook meteen gebruiken op een kaart. Ik heb de afbeelding gekleurd met derwent potloden. In de hartjes heb ik een hotfix steentje gebruikt. Het is helaas niet op de foto te zien maar het was een heel mooi bijpassend kleurtje bij het kleurtje van het potlood. Op een witte kaart heb ik het ruitjespatroon en de tekst geprint. Het frame is langs de randjes gestikt en daarna op de kaart geplakt, zodat je aan de binnenkant geen gaatjes hebt van het stikken. In de hoekjes van het frame heb ik witte hotfix cabochons gebruikt. Ik heb het kaartje ook nog in de kleur oranje gemaakt ( geen idee of er zo'n kleur bloesem is, maar ik vond het gewoon mooi :)!! ).
For my card I used one of the new sketch images: Oriental blossom from Christine Dark (sketchingstamper). It is a very beautiful image and I wanted to make a card with it immediately. I colored the image with derwent pencils. In the hearts of the blossom I used an amethyst hotfx stone. Unfortunately you can't see the real colour of the stones on my picture. It matches so lovely. On a white card I printed the gingham background and the sentiment (congratulations). I stitched on the edges of the frame and then I glued the frame on my card. That way you don't see the holes from the stitching on the inside of my card. In the corners of the frame I used white hotfix cabochons. I also made my card in the colour orange (I do not know if there is an orange blossom, but I just thought it was beautiful :)!!).

Leuke combinatie die ruitjes met dat stiksel. Ik heb nog niet bij de andere kaartjes gekeken maar die van jou vind ik prachtig.
ReplyDeleteIk ben verliefd op jouw achtergrondjes!
Lief van je dat je speciaal voor Darin een kaartje gaat maken. Wat heeft dat kereltje al meegemaakt en wat mogen we ons gelukkig prijzen als we gezond zijn.

ReplyDeleteHi Larissa - these are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love that you do the same card in different colours and the look so different. The orange one is definitely my favourite, fabulous colour and who cares whether there is orange blossom or not.
