Fancy bookmark

Hello there crafters!
I hope you all had a great start of 2015. I bought a book as gift for a friend the other day and I wanted a bookmark to go with it, so I took out my Spellbinders dies (Detailed Scallops), a Cuttlebug embossing folder (Textiles) and here is what I came up with. I used black & white carstock and a Sizzix die and stamp set (Parfumerie) with nice and very feminine perfume bottles which I love. I added an eyelet and some ribbon and the bookmark was done. And could glitter be missing on a thing like this? Naaah! :D So I promptly added some Stickles to the bottle top.

The weekend is just around the corner, so enjoy it and hopefully it's a creative and crafty one!

Hugs, Vittoria

Cute snowbird

Hello there crafters,
I have a birthday card to share with you today. I created it back in January for my dear Austrian friend Tina. Her birthday was yesterday, so I can now share the card here on my blog. For the focal image I used a lovely Stampendous snowbird stamp - as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it, too cute!! Besides cardstock and designer paper, for this card I used cheese cloth (which I dyed with Walnut Stain ink), a cage die cut, ribbon, a birdhouse charm and a soft brown feather from my stash. The script embossing folder used is from Cuttlebug. The image was coloured, as usual, with Copics and I added Glossy Accents to the berries and glitter to the snow for some shine. The tiny sentiment tags are from Lily of the Valley. I'm truly happy how the card turned out, love those warm earthy colours, among my favourites indeed!!

Have a nice week, filled with lots of crafting and creative activities! :D

Hugs,
Vittoria
