Clean and Simple at TPS!

I'm so happy with the theme of this weeks challenge at Totally Papercraft challenge blog.
Clean and Simple!

Now there are some masters in that technique in our team.. and I got a chance to make one as well...

The new papers of Authentique are incredibly beautiful! What a pleasure to look at each paperpack... but girls... a trouble choosing one. But there is one pack that caught my eye in an instant... the Glowing. 
I just had to have this one!
And then when you open the paper pack somethimes you find those pieces of paper that don't want to be cut up or covered with other pieces of paper. They are simply to wonderful to do that. And this piece that I used is one of them. So this card is Clean and Simpel!







Adorable Stamp: The Pixie Cottage Hannah Witch available at Hobbystempels
Color medium: Prisma Pencils available at Hobbystempels
Papers: Authentique Glowing available at Hobbystempels
Text: AmyR Ghostly writings available at All That Scraps

Fall arrived

We had some really fall weather here at the coast of the Netherlands... there is no doubt anymore, fall has began. Broken branches on the ground, grean leaves with brown edges flowing everywhere. And a lots of hasty clouds in the sky. Before you realize it's winter again.
Well with all that brand new papers that arrived at Hobbystempels it's no punishment to stay indoors. When I saw the new papers Bo Bunny Blitzen I totally lost myself. They are so great! So I stayed in and made this card with it. I used the Sketch that Marga has HERE


This little cutie is from Pixie Cottage Winter Hannah on a bench
she is colored with my Prisma Potloden 
Tree is from stash but HERE you find the beautiful tree die from Tim Holtz
snow is made with a snowmarker that you can find HERE vind je die.
Text stamp is from my private collection.

Have fun with all the brand new stuff that is in store right now at Hobbystempels!

Those two gorgeous butterflies are from that magnificent stamp set.. 
I stamped them on light blue paper and cut them out....

Miracles are so normal that you can't see them if you don't look!

Now is that the truth or what?
