    For this Blog Hop I knew I wanted to create something special and since I am a big fan of interactive cards I created a Bendi card ( inspired by Jessica Frost -Ballas)


I absolutely love Mermaid Lagoon stamp set from Craftin Desert Divas new release . It's perfect for summer and the images are just too adorable and I had so much fun creating this card.


What I love about creating this Bendi card is that I got the chance to use a good amount of images from the set in order to create a scene!

The cute mermaids are colored using Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and the background was created using Distress inks and also added some Nuvo Drops to create the effect of bubbles :)

Thank you so much for stopping by and please hop along and leave a comment on each blog for a chance to win and to see all the beautiful creations that all other members made!

    A bendi card is on my "to go" list.
    Love your card - hopefully it
    will prompt me to get busy and
    make one of these. This set
    works so well for the bendi.
    thanks for sharing.

    Your card is stunning! Love your Bendi card and how you used the clear layer so that we could still see the ocean background behind it! Looks awesome! Love your colouring and thanks for the sharing how you made the bubbles with the Nuvo Drops. I'll have to try that!

    This is so creative! I love how you used the vellum-or is it acetate?-to create the bendy Card. Very cool and beautifully done.

      Thank you so much Amber ! I used acetate cause felt like the vellum was too thin :)

Hi everyone I am stopping by today to share with you the card that I made for Thyroid Awareness Month Blog hop organised by Milka Gubo Not sure if you knew but January is Thyroid Awareness Month and the purpose of this blog hop is to raise awareness about Thyroid diseases and problems .

Treat yourself

Hello everyone! I have another card that I want to share today! For this card I inked the upper part of my panel with Picked raspberry Distress ink and stamped the cup of coffee and the frappe glas with the same ink . The stamps I used are from Create a Smile same as the sentiment which I embossed with white WOW embossing powder. Since I didn't had a bigger frappe glas i decided to draw one myself and then I colored with Stabilo markers on watercolor paper! To finish up I added some Pretty Pink Posh sequins!
