TPS - Tribute post

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

This week and next, rather than running our usual Blog Hop, the Design Team at The Paper Shelter is honouring our beautiful co-founder Veronica, who tragically left us on the 25th of September 2024.

Veronica was a kind, supportive, beautiful soul, who alongside her co-founder Pedro, produced the images we all know and love to create with.

There is a vacuum in the world today, where Veronica used to be, and we will miss her terribly.

For my card, I've used Pixie image from the store. As a design team member, I have always admired Veronica for her kindness towards the team and understanding us. She will truly be missed and I will keep working on her images. 

Our winner for our TRIBUTE challenge will win a 6 products of your choice if you've used a Paper Shelter product on your entry (you could choose the pre-coloured image, the black and white digi, or the digital paper that comes in the set), or 3 products of your choice, if you've used another brand.  You can enter the challenge up to 3 times, provided you've used a Paper Shelter product on at least one of them.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you all enjoyed the card.

Stay happy and keep crafting.

Mermaid kindness

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media. 

Who doesn't like mermaids?? I love mermaid images and colouring them is always fun. There is no specific colour for their fins and its perfect for any colour. I am using image from The Paper shelter - Mermaid's melody. I used Freshly made sketches as a guide to make the card. I used a background stamp from MFT - wavy pattern and stamped on white cardstock. I inked the stamped pattern using shades of blue. (Zoom and see the pattern). I finished with a sentiment and some bubbles.

Meditate on your birthday

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

I am glad to share another birthday using Zen Harmony - The paper shelter. Paper shelter has started with colouring pages from books to single pages. This is a single page colouring sheet and its soooo beautiful. I love their digital images and they are just brilliant. This card is simple and focuses on the image.

Urban birthday

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media. 

I am really excited to share another birthday card using Urban spring girl - The paper shelter. Isn't this a cute image?? I love this image and colouring her. I used shades of purple for colouring her dress and first I used alcohol markers and then pencils for shading more. I love to add some colour for her hair and ended up with some highlights for her hair. I kept her eyes blue. The background of the card is simple with some flowers and leaves and a sentiment.

Lunar birthday

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

I am here with a card using digital image from The Paper Shelter - Lunar dreamer. Its such a gorgeous image and I had to colour it and make a card. I used subtle colour for the dress and kept the card super simple. I wanted a dark and contrasting background that goes well the coloured image. I decided to go with black and since plain black was not complimenting I did embossing using embossing folder from Altenew. I fuzzy cut the image and added it to the card base and finished with sentiment and gemstones.

Spring birthday flowers

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

Spring is in the air and lets work with some florals. For this card, I used digital stamps from The Paper Shleter - Wild rose and I used shades of purple. I coloured with alcohol markers - Ohuhu markers and for some highlighting, I added a blue outline and the same in the middle. I had no idea what kind of sentiment I had to add for the card.

Dragon army card

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

I am so excited to share this card for the day using  My little dragon army from The Paper shelter for our weekly challenge where this week, our theme is Woodland creatures. This is a cute image and I used the pre-coloured one that comes with the set. I generally colour the images but due to time constrain I decided to go with the pre-coloured ones. Images from paper shelter are pocket friendly as they offer a lot for one image which has pre-coloured, outline, background and the entire pic. What I did here is use some pattern paper for the background (all colours are fall themed) and added the image and for the accents made some die cut flowers and leaves and pearls to finish the card.
