Snowy Cottage

Well I decided for Pergamano. It is hard to see unless you look at the image up close but I took Pergamano paper and used the small and large ball for shading after I used white and gold ink for the pattern. I coloured using PCE colours and also i used the 2 punch and the scissors to cut . It takes time but I think it looks OK. Of course I used a red background. Oh and the blue I used dorso colour blue:)

Angel reaching for a Star

OK Yes this is a cheat. I made this card earlier and I had it on my blog but it fit in perfectly for the November challenge. I Blue and purplepigment ink and embossed with Psychedelic and blue pearl powder. Again an angel. I just think Angels are so pretty and we always need one near us:)

Musical Birthday plus Europe pics

Well I had to sneek in my Europe pics-well just these since my hubby took over 6,000! First though is my challenge for today. I tried my best but I don't care for it. I embossed the star with clear powder and used teal pigment ink. I also stamped the squares and then I used the drum and musical notyes since my friend is in a band. The rest of the pics actually starts at the end of our trip with Vienna-the outside and inside(just a tiny part) of the church(ceiling). I show Graz, Austria and my fav pic of myself with Michael. We were also in Brixen and that is in the missle of the mountains and we began our trip in Venice and the colourful homes is a separate island called Burano-Just beautiful!

Angel amidst the Snow

OK Here is my challenge for today. I actually had something else in mind and I was going to place another paper where the angel now is but i liked the look of my embossed snowflakes that I decided not to do this. I took one of my angel stamps and stamped her in dark blue and embossed the wings with blue pearl and the remaining of her in clear powder. The snowflakes I stamped in blue and purple and embossed also in the blue pearl and the psychedelic powder. I was just lucky that when i lifted the angel stamp off her hand was reaching for a snowflake-a pure fluke but it works

Reflective Angel

Ok For the 365 days there is the Challenge for Sunday. My mind was racing to do several versions but I just did this one and it is for my Aunt whose birthday was yesterday. She is the lady who lives in Brixen in the mountains and hears the church bells every day from her balcony-serenity! I stamped the Angel image which seems so Leonardo to me and I love him so I had to have this stamp:) I stamped and embossed the flower and added stars and crystal flowers in blue and white. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Picasso in Black and White

Well I have not done a challenge at 365 cards in a while. I hope to have just a few pics of our trip to Europe on here very soon. Michael took many photos...about 6,500! I am not kidding. He just loved it!!! Well so did I and we dream one day of living there. My one Aunt has a condo in a small town called Brixen(bressonne) in northern Italy. Whe she goes on her balcony there are mountains on her right and on her left with the cutest small villages up the side of the mountains and church steeples. You hear the church bells ring as you sip a glass of wine and then you travel by bike or foot to the town, about 7 minutes which was found in around 1053 or so. I really expected Julie Andrews to be twirling up there in the mountains. OK sorry I digress, here is my card challenge for today although I cheated a bit and used a Picasso stamp I bought in Venice on the white part. It is for my friend's birthday who is a lover of art. I tried to keep it simple and manly:)

Christmas In Pink

Well I'm Back! I went to Europe and I was ill and my computer went on the fritz and tonight is halloween! Here are my five for the Christmas October theme. I have to say that I hope pink is ending soon:) I can't seem to get too Chritsmassy with pink so I tried my best. The first one actually is like a dusty rose but it came out brownish in the pic. Have a great Halloween!
