Enjoy the little things....

 Enjoy the little things that should be a life's moto I think as we take way too much for granted. Or I do.....

So this card is created with the Gnome Pals Easter Time by Last Minute Manda and Colored with the Spectrum Noir Harmony inkpads. I used the stencils from Dutch Doobadoo for the clouds, grass and the large egg.  The sentiment is from Conie Fong and I foiled it with the Crafts & Co Foil applicator. The egg shape is made with a Balloon die from Avec Creative that they sell at the Action here in Holland. I just cut of the balloon knot thingy ;) and viola an egg is laid hahahahaha

You are my missing piece.....

Goodmorning Monday....

Today I would like to show you one of my cards that I created as a GDT for Conie Fong on facebook. For my card I used the Bella Bouquet  digistamp. And colored it with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers. I used the Colors: MG 5-3, MB 4-2-1, FS 7-6, GY 3-1, DG 3-2, TB 2-1. And the Colourblend pencils to enhance the markers. I just got this cute Gemini Heart Jigsaw die and wanted to use it right away. It is a mixed media die so you have to adjust your plate stack else it ruins them badly. So I just used the 2 clear plates and the milky plate in my Gemini Junior.

For my background I played with the Spectrum Noir Opaque inkpads: Lemon tonic, Ocean blue, Fuchsia, Chinese Red to create the rainbow. Than I used the larger background stamps Oriental Peony and Distressed Harlequin. Both stamped with the Finesse Waterproof black. 

The sentiment is from the Crafter's Companion Puzzle sentimens stamped also with the Finesse Waterproof black on the White stamping card that I also used for the background.

I would like to play the following challenges...
