Diorama card - Sea Nostalgy

Summer is gone, but the memories still linger on.. Here is my Nostalgy card that is so close to my heart, especially since I've used my aqua-colored accessories.

The image was printed off the Internet in double copy, then I cut out the lady and stuck it over the original photo using my sponge tape for a dimensional view.

 

The sequin fabric is leftover from my daughter's dress that I made for her marine-themed birthday party. The tiny seashells were actually picked up on the beach by my children and me. I also used my sea-related diecuts. The one on the bottom and the anchor were done in glittery brown paper. I also sprinkled the card with half pearls and aqua crystals. Overall, I am happy with it, and I hope you like it too!

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
- Corrosive Challenges - Anything Goes
- UnstampaBelles Challenges - Create a paper project with an aperture
- Crafty Creations - Anything Goes 
- Everybody Art - Special Card Form
- Polkadoodles Craft Challenge - Anything Goes

Feels like Hawaii

Hello, my dear crafters! Today, I am back with a card I made as a Guest Designer for Tuesday Morning Sketches #520. Please go there and follow the same fun sketch, I'm sure you will create a beautiful card!

My card has an exotic feel and I celebrate it by using a piece of design paper from a Hawaii-themed pad, leaf brads and leaf diecuts. I also used the embossing technique and cut out a hibiscus flower from the papers. 

I love everything Hawaii, I don't know what hit me since I've never been there... :) I guess now it's just one of my dreams, to go there. I live in Europe, so it's really too far away from me, but one can still dream, right? 

Recently, one of my daughters had a Hawaii-themed birthday party and this is what my decor looked like (I made it myself):

If you've been there already, please tell me and also let me know if I caught that feeling in my card! :) Have a wonderful day!

Hugs,
Simona

Aqua Roses

Time for another Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge, and this week I've used one of my favorite colors: AQUA. I followed the sketch (number 518) and here is my interpretation of it:

The paper in the center comes from Papermania, an older Spring collection.

 I hope you like my creations! If you do, please follow my blog and send me a line, it will be greatly appreciated!

Have a wonderful week!!!

Lady in Lace

If you love feminine creations, then you've got to stop by at Allsorts Challenge where the current theme is "Feminine". So, here is my lacy creation, I think there are very few other things more feminine and delicate than lace, so I hope you like it too!

Also, this Lady diecut is one of my favourites.

Have a wonderful week!
