Santa Rocks

Did you know Santa has a golden guitar? He's even turning snowflakes into notes!





Santa is a digital stamp from Gerda Steiner Designs. For coloring I used a Copic marker, colored pencils, glitter gel pens and Wink of Stella. Snowflakes are from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps's stamp set Snowy Sayings. I added some shiny stars and a red stripe (watercolor).

A Little Wreath

Today, no stamps. Just drawing. With a little help from compass (drawing tool).
I sketched the leaves and berries and colored them with Stabilo markers and Wink of Stella. For the berries I used Glitter Deco Pens (from TESA). I punched the corners and used dark red cardstock as a card base. My final embellishment is a red yarn bow.

Two Cards for a Name Day

Two cards for two persons, all by the name of Jitka.
The first one is a countdown to a name day. I used my old watercolor galaxy as a background and just added a rocket/spaceship from My Favorite Things´s Out of This World stamp set, colored with Stabilo markers and with Wink of Stella. For the countdown I added sticker numbers. The card base is colored with orange Copic marker.



The second card is a floral one. I took My Favorite Things´s Build-able Bouquet and created a floral frame first and then stamped the flower and the leaves, colored with Stabilo markers and Wink of Stella.

Thanks for the cookies!

Backstory: the kids from volunteer fire department will come selling homemade cookies from house to house and I wanted to make a little Thank you card:-)


I was inspired by the sketch at Task for Two Tuesday´s Challenge. For the furry part I picked a cute monster from Gerda Steiner Designs, used colored pencils, glitter gel pens and added a firefighter helmet from Your Next Stamp´s Silly Monster stamp set.

Naughty Puppy

Another postcard from me, this one will go to our vet clinic for Christmas as a big Thank you (for taking great care of our dog).


This sweet naughty puppy is a digital stamp from Gerda Steiner Designs as a monthly challenge for November. I decided to play with colored pencils and cotton swabs. Plus Wink of Stella.
For the border I took one little snowflake from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Snowy Sayings stamp set and alternated red and blue (Fired Brick and Salty Ocean Distress Inks).

Leaf Print

This card brought me back to my childhood: as kids we used to pick leaves in park and then we made prints with them. 


So I went to our garden, picked a leaf, gave it a watercolor coat with autumn colors (red, orange and green) and transfered it on my card as a print. I masked a rectangle, loaded an old toothbrush with brown watercolor and gave it a brush.
With my brown Stabilo marker I added a stalk of the leaf and a sentiment.
