Inventory Challenge #49

Good morning everyone....wishing you all a very happy Friday! Danielle and I and our talented teammates invite you to another Inventory Challenge. This week the theme is "Happy Birthday".

I am a great admirer of Camilla's beautiful creations and I love her style, so I attempted to case one of her stunning cards following a little tutorial she had on her blog enhancing her lovely images. She is a master with distress inks. I colored my Tilda with copics. It's not nearly as beautiful as Camilla's, but I'm actually happy with it! You can see Camilla's tutorial HERE.
I used lovely papers by Pion Design and I made a bunch of tags with one of my manila file folders. The beautiful lace was a gift from my sweet and incredibly talented friend, Claudia.

Now I would love to invite you to visit my teammates and view their amazing works of art:

September Entries for Hjertebodens Jule Blogg

Good morning everyone...wishing you all a fabulous holiday weekend with family and friends! It's raining today...a good day for napping!
It is time again for my Christmas card entries for the month of September over at Hjertebodens Jule Blogg.
My first card is a wonderful Haenglar image, colored with copics. Papers are from the BG "Jovial" collection and the flowers/leaves are from Prima. The swirls and film strip are from T. Holtz. The inside of the card has pockets holding tags with minis.

My Maggie card features my very favorite Tilda with Violin from last year's Christmas collection. The background is a LaBlanche stamp. Papers are Pion Design.
I colored the entire image with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Finally, I decided to make a tag using another Haenglar image, also colored with copics. Papers are Melissa Frances and the gold dots were a gift from my sweet friend, Danielle. The gorgeous vintage brad and red rick rack was a gift from my wonderful friend, Jacque. The flower is by Prima and , as you can see, I used lots of gold Stickles.

Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I truly appreciate your input.
Big Hugs, Christina
