Christian Voltz

My daughter has been following in the footsteps of Christian Voltz and I just had to share her creation with you.

You can learn more about the artist HERE

Her class at school have been studying about him and have tried to copy his style.

Here is my daughters creation:

 
I am a proud Mum.  I love it!!!

Cute Bunnies

Here is a little card I have made for the challenge at The Ribbon Reel called Spring is Here.

Spring is definitely in my garden with all the lovely blossom on our fruit trees but shame about the weather, to much rain!!!

The challenge is to create a card or project inspired by the colours in the photo and to include a bunny and ribbon.

and what a cute photo.


Here is my card.




I have used a cute bunny digi stamp from Sliekje Stamps and coloured the image using promarkers.  The yellow cherry paper is from Pink Petticoat and the textured green paper is a sheet a very lovely friend gave me.  I have then added some ribbon to the flower and a glitter star.

 
Have a great weekend!!!

Magazine Freebies

Whilst I was in England I picked up a copy of Quick Cards and what a lovely surprise to find a set of clear stamps from Pink Petticoat.

I then found some lovely inspiration from The Shabby Tea Room to create a card.  The challenge is to create a card or project inspired by the photo  below and to use pink, green, and white or cream and include a sewing element.


Here is my card.



I have used the free set of stamps and I have used papers called Vintage Rose all from Pink Petticoat. What a bargain  if you hurry the set of papers is less then half price. HERE.
My sewing element is the little button added to the centre of the flower.



The sketch for the card is taken from the challenge at Mojo Monday.

Rainbows

Here is just a couple of photos of the rainbow cupcakes I made for my daughters birthday.  Whilst I was in England I managed to get hold of some gel food colouring so I was able to make some rainbows.


I even coloured the cake batter, you can just see it in the photo.

They also went perfectly with my little favour boxes.

Such a beautiful day!!

The sun is really shining here today and what a great party we had in the garden yesterday to celebrate my daughters 4th birthday with her little school friends.

We went to England for a little holiday and celebrated her actual birthday then but thought it would be nice to have her friends and their mums over to play and have some cake.

I will post some photos later.

But today I have created a card and little box with some papers that I have already used on several posts but I love them so much.


The papers are from Dovecraft called cupcake boutique and so is the little chipboard tea cup.
 
The stamped image is from Kanban which I have paper pieced and coloured with promarkers.  Finally the little flag sentiment is from Pink Petticoat called Sweet Sundaes which I am afraid is no longer available but they have other gorgeous sentiments available to download.
 


Also I have made a little cupcake gift box to match:


The template is from My Time Made Easy called Lil Cupcake.  I have used the same papers but have added a chipboard teapot, some bunting and a organza flower.


Its makes such a cute set.


Enjoy!!!
