Live Your Dream

Hello and Happy Thursday! Today’s card is inspired by two challenges. The first one is for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge at Karen’s blog. It is my first time participating in it and I know that it will not be the last one. I like sketches! Thank you Karen!

Live your Dreams

Second challenge is a Yummy Cupcake Inspiration by Rachel, thank you Rachel! This week it’s a gorgeous cupcake with beautiful colors and flowers. Not sure if I followed the exact colors, but I tried my best. That is the only papers I had that will match a little bit to the original cupcake.

And (wow) for the first time I made card with a stamp set from Little Paper Shop (it was a blog candy from year ago). I love the sentiments in the set, and the font is so pretty!

I didn’t even think if this card was good enough to post. Once again I tried something different for me – different style, different size of the card… I even asked my husband’s opinion and he told me:” Why not to try something that you don’t usually make. There is nothing wrong with this. That is how we learn new stuff. It is like a challenge for you. Please, don’t throw it away”. Okay, I listened to him (wish he listen to me sometimes too 😉

That is all for today! Thank you so much for stopping by and thank you for your comments! They make my day!

Happy crafting,

Elena

Здравствуйте дорогие читатели моего блога!

Сегодняшняя открытка была создана под навеянным вдохновением с двух блогов – Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge (эскиз для открытки) и Cupcake Inspiration Challenge (выбранные цвета для открытки). Наконец-то я использовала штампик от компании Little Paper Shop, который выиграла год назад в blog candy.

Я долго сомневалась, стоит ли показывать эту открытку. Просто я опять попробовала непривычнй для меня стиль, да и сам размер открытки немного отличается от стандартного размера. И тогда я решила спросить своего мужа, что он думает по этому поводу. И вот что он мне ответил:” А почему бы и не попробовать себя в чем-то необычном? Ведь плохого в этом ничего нет. Ведь именно так мы учимся чему-то новому, именно так мы развиваем свои способности. Пожалуйста, не выкидывай эту открытку, хорошо…” Как вы уже поняли, я послушалась своего мужа (ох, как бы мне хотелось, чтобы хоть иногда и мoй мужчина меня послушал) и даже поместила открытку на блоге.

Вот пожалуй и все на сегодня. Надеюсь, что мой рассказ вдохновит вас на что-нибудь новое  и непривычное. Всего вам доброго и до новых встреч! Надеюсь, вы знаете, что выши комментарии очень важны для меня,

Лена
