So's arts and crafts

Hi, recently I made a "new baby" card inspired by an image I saw in the Etsy shop of  PinkGemDesigns  (thanks for the idea! ). I hand drawn the baby sleeping on a quarter moon, and colored it with Copics. It is part of a gift for a colleague who's baby boy is due these days!  Lets  hope the childbirth will go smooth... and easy :) and we will see the baby soon...can't wait! card size: 10x15 cm

Hi, It is a rainy and cold day in Timisoara...Autumn is finally here, so what could be better than a cup of hot coffee to get the day started...Mine begins with this post...:) Yesterday, while browsing through a one of the Copic coloring books from Annie's Attic , I found a card with a little girl reading a book before going to bed. Here's my version of this card: I hand drawn the image and then colored it with COPIC markers. I still have to work on the shading to make it more realistic, this is just the first version...:) card size: 10x15 cm

Hello all,  I rediscovered recently the "Precious Moments" characters while browsing for some new digi stamps. The official site is:  www.preciousmoments.com , but there are many sites that offer free images with these very cute small children with eyes like tear drops. I remember that when I was a kid, I had two posters with them on the walls of my room. I couldn't resist and I downloaded some from here:  www.educationalcoloringpages.com/preciousmoments.html Here's the card I made with it: Others will come soon! :) The image is colored with COPIC markers. Card size: 10x15 cm

Hi, here's the second card of the Art Deco series: The flower and the paper I used for the iris folding are designed by  Michelle Powell , and I used the template from her book. but, instead of making a topper for a box, I made a card. Card size: A5

Hello all, I just received my new book "Iris folding" by Michelle Powell , so now I can't stop making cards from it...:) Here's the first card...it was part of a birthday gift for a friend. For the background of the flower I used some COPIC markers, and as accent for the contours, some glass paint. This will be a series, as I intend to make my version of each project...I can't wait to start the next one! :) Great book! Card size: 10x15 cm

Hi, Here are some new designs for this year's Christmas cards. For two of them I used iris folding  and the middle one, has two Christmas balls with quilled ornaments . Enjoy! Daca va plac, le gasiti la magazinul Lavly din Timisoara.

Hello all, Here's my first Christmas card for 2012...guess who it features...:)...our new friend, the ladybug. You already know the ladybug illustration, but now it has a Christmas feel.  Card size: 13x14 cm Daca va place, o gasiti in magazinul  Lavly , in Timisoara

Hello, As a request from a friend, today I made a card inspired from  "Thrilling Quilling" , a book by Elizabeth Moad. It is a card with a doggie...he is now performing in a circus, but he has a dream...What is he dreaming about? Here it is: Should I add maybe a bone? Would it be too much? Well, I've added some food...:) and its name... "Cookie"... Card size: 10x15 cm

Hello all, After making the  Ladybug and pumpkin card , which is a pretty large one, I experimented with the photo I made of it. The best version was to extract completely the ladybug and the background. In this way it can be used in countless combinations of cardstock and embellishments. Here's mine: After printing the image on white cardstock, I used some stamp ink to recreate the vintage look of the backround. Card size: 10x15 cm Daca va place, o gasiti in magazinul  Lavly

Hello all, Yesterday I had to  quickly make a card for a little girl's baptism. So, I made a variation of an older card  from this spring. The general feel is the same, but there are many differences in the details...:)   Card size: 10x15 cm If you would like more details, just write me an e-mail.

Hello, Today I managed to finish the card with the ladybug and the pumpkin...I hope my colleague will like it...:) Here it is: Card size: A5

Hello, The ladybug from my previous card decided it was time to prepare for Autumn...:) So, she went looking for clothes to keep her warm. So far, she found a muffler and some old brogues a few sizes bigger... Here's how she looks like now: Even so, she still is joyful and happy...and a nice birthday card would be the perfect home for her. If only I would have an idea about what color combination to use...:) I'll keep you posted! And here is a warmer version: (hand drawn and colored with COPIC markers)
