Alex Syberia May release : Meet the Kokeshi Dolls !

Hi there!

I am back with three more cards from Alex Syberia's May release. Something different today. Must admit I was a bit intimidated by this little dolls at first, but when I started playing with them, I had so much fun !


You can follow the blog hop here to comment and stand the chance to win one of seven $10 gift certificates!

First up is Fumiko :

Then we have Mitsuki :

And last but not least Akemi :

These dolls are available as a Bundle (all three) or individually :

Fumiko , Mitsuki & Akemi

I used my Zig markers to do the coloring on the dolls, and a variety of stencils, masking and distress inks to create the backgrounds.

I used the print and cut function of my Silhouette cameo to cut out all three dolls.

The last two cards have stamped sentiments from an old Avery Elle stamp set. 

I created the birthday sentiment on the first card in the Silhouette studio (shared below)

Thanks for visiting me today!

Hi there!

It's a beautiful Saturday morning here in Abu Dhabi. The sky is blue, and it is 23°C.

I am listening to Neil Diamond while I'm typing this post. So sad to know he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and that he had to cancel his touring program. Still one of my all time favorite singers!

I used :

• A beautiful bouquet "digital stamp"  found in an online coloring page
• My own sentiment
• Gift cut (party set in the silhouette store)
• Silhouette cameo
• Zig markers
• Enamel dots

I saved the sentiment for you to download and use :

CAS(e) this sketch #237

Hi there!

Smile... it's Thursday and time for my weekly inspiration for the new sketch at
 CAS(e) this sketch !

I was intrigued by Chrissy's sketch this week, and really wanted to COPY the sketch, because I love it so much... but it didn't happen.  Instead this card happened 😊

I found this cute faces cutting file at APEX cuttables, and they were freebies for that day!

                                         *** A new free cutting file is available every day @ Apex! ***

I created my own sentiment in the Silhouette studio, and added interest to the background with the graffiti scribble stencil from Altenew and warm sunshine Altenew ink.

As always you are welcome to download the sentiment for personal use !

Fonts used:

Amastery hand & Amastery Script.

CASology : BUD

Hi there!

Where will this week's cue card take your creativity?! Looking forward to see your card inspired by the cue card at CASology !

                                                           

My card for your inspiration:

I used one of our sponsor's cute images, traced it in my Silhouette studio, and used my cameo to cut it out. I also designed the sentiment strip in the studio, using the font " DJB upstairs at the abbey ".

You are welcome to download and use it on your projects!

I love this font, because you can add color to it with markers or coloring pencils if you wish !

I added color to the background with subtle stenciling.
