Anything goes or texture over at Creatalicious Challenges

Morning and hello! 

Time for a new creation from me and this is my last card for the Creatalicious challenges. A big thank you to Melanie and the team for having me!

I have decided to step down as I don't feel too well at the moment and need time to just do things without "preasure of dead lines and musts". 

The image is a sponsor image from our challenge sponsor. Take a look here for more info. 

I have used just a partial of the image as I love the checky face. The designer papers are from Maja Design. It's some left overs from other projects and so are the details as well. 

Well, I hope you will play along with our anything goes or ad texture challenge. It will last for about two weeks. There is a new challenge up around the 15th.

Take care and do something you love!

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

I have not been creating much lately, but I have during spring and winter time as I have been sleeping terrible bad. Nothing like colouring, cutting and glueing in the bed. Too bad that I managed to cut my duvets the other day. Well, I mostly use old stuff in my bed as I know I will probably make a mess somehow. LoL

Anyway, even if I have not been crafting much lately do I have a bunch of cards to show, but little by little. I thought I show you a little mini card that I made last summer and still is unshow. It's stamps and dies from my ever growing collection of Lawn Fawn stamps and dies. I have coloured with different mediums here as it looks, some glitter pens, some markers, and some water colours and inks. It sounds fun, I probably have to do it again soon. Only a few weeks left until  vacation starts. It will be good with no musts but it will also feel a bit strange as I have only been working 8 hours per week now during the Corona times.

Anyway, I thought it would be nice to show a summer card model mini and still with the feeling of sea.

Use a die over at Passion for Promarkers

Morning and hello!

It is time for new fun challenge here at Passion for Promarkers. Our theme is set to "Use a die". My card has a few  dies around here. The image is cut out with spellbinders round die and then there is a decorated border to that part of the card. I have also used a punch with is kind of a die, it's an old Martha Steward punch that I still loves to bits.

Sponsoring this challenge is Dies to Die for and they are offering one lucky winner a lovely prize of a £15 voucher. How nice isn't that?

My image is from Sugar Nellie and it's really old, but it's still a favourite of mine. It was quite a long time since I coloured this one, but now I found use for. I will probably dig the image out again and start colouring them all over again. I totally adore them. 

For the details have I got back to basic again. A chain of pearls around the image for some nice details. Then there is plenty of flowes that I have added around the image and kind of making it into a frame. Some panels and a puch from Martha Stewart. I did also add a bunch of pearls in the corners. A green ribbon with a tide bow. Some lovely flowers and fabby butterfly charm is also added to the mix. Ohh! And the paper pad is from Pink paislee. Indigo and Ivy. 

Anyway, I hope you like the card and that I manage you to do something creative today! It's always nice to have you looking around. 

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

I am back again with a "just for the fun of it" card. You know when I can't sleep I make cards of prepared images, it doesn't make me sleep but it does make me feel good. :)

This is an old Magnolia stamp that I have coloured with distress inks. Hmm, was a really long time since I did that. I migth just dig them out and try it again. It's kind of realxing when you start doing it, and kind of frustrating as well. It's not as easy as it always looks when someone else does it.

The designer papers should be Indigo and Ivy from Pink Paisly. From being a kind of boring paper pad to a favourite. The colours are lovely. I have used a few decorations: some wooden stars, a piece of lace and a border punch that its raised up with foamdots. 

Well folks, this is it from me for today. Hope you take some time a play around with your crafty stuff just because it's something you enjoy.

Love n hugs

Colour it over at The Paper Shelter

Morning and hello!

I am back again! It's Mid week and time for a new challenge over at the Paper Shelter. This week our theme is set to "Colour it!". It means that it's only hand coloured images allowed this week. 

I have used one of my favorite images from the Shelter called "Viking Vacation". For some reason do I always colour my blond vikings with red hair! I know, but the wildest vikings are always red headed. LoL I find this image but fun and charming. 

I have coloured with my Letraset Markers and the paper pad is called Tropical something if I remember right. Have put it way for the time being. For some texture and details have I added a few ribbons. At the bottom a goldish glittering web ribbon and then a really thin one tied with a bow. The melons and pine apples are fussy cut from a sheet from the paper pad.

You can play along with our challenge up to three times, and one of these do you have to use a Paper Shelter image. However, you always have the chance to win over at our challenge. Playing with another brand gives you the chance to win three digis of your choise. Playing with our challenge gives you the chance of winning a gift voucher worth $30.

Take care and keep crafting!

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

Here comes a new creation for you all to enjoy, just because it's nice and relaxing to check out what every one is up to.

This card is a mixture of a alternew stamping set, or maybe two of their stampsets... I have a tendency to make a lot of stuff at once, put it aside, mix it up and create with it later. Way later...

Anyway, the images are stamped with layers of alternew inks and then die cut for a lovely mix of colours and relaxing work. I put it on dark blue card stock and then put it all on a card base. I will have to work with my tecnics when it comes to this kind of cards but it's fun to just sit and stamp and die cut all night long. I have been working a lot with foam pads on this card so it has quite a bit of chunk to it IRL. I did also use some splaters with white and gold coloured inks.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed watching this one. Take some time and do something that you enjoy, or try out something new.

Love n hugs

This week are we sponsored by Star Jam Line and they offer one lucky winner two digis of their choise.

I have also used glossy accent and added golden glitter to it before it dried for some shimmery water effect. The flowers are from an old pack from Kaiser Kraft. There is also a Marianne die that have been embossed with glittery and chunky embossing powder. The Congrat-sentiment is from Hanglar and Wings. Designer papers are from Echo Park and Lawn Fawn.

X-mas decorations over at Winter Wonderland

Morning and hello!

It's the first Friday of the month again and it is time for a new monthly challenge over at Winter Wonderland. This months theme is set to "Christmas decorations". Here you can have an image that is fit as a decoration or you make a decoration yourself. Nice and fun theme to play around with.

We are sponsored by the lovely Beccy's Place and she is offering a prize of

The image I have used is a freebee and it's called Holly Baulb. I have coloured with my promarkers and decorated with some pearls on the image. There is also some splashes of golden ink on my card, and no not a misstake. LoL. It looks great IRL but here it might look like a misstake was made, but no. I have also used a border die from Lawn Fawn for this one and a wonderful blue ribbon with golden details as some decorations. A few pearls are also added to the corners...

My designer papers are digital and are from Cocoa Vanilla Studio. Love the wonderful colours in all of their collections. Wish the real stuff was easier to find around here as they tend to smear when not printed on photo paper or with a laser printer which I don't have at the moment. 

This is kind of a sad post as well as I am now stepping down from the Winter Wonderland team after many years on the design team. I am struggling a bit with myself at the moment and need to make some time for "impulse" stuff instead of having a bunch of "must do" stuff. I for sure will play along with Helen and the rest of the gang from time to time and may be one day I will return to the team, who knows? It's wonderful challenge and I still love making my Christmas Cards more than any other kind of cards. A big thank you to Helen and the rest of the team!

Playing with another brand gives you the chance to win three digis of your choise. Playing with our challenge gives you the chance of winning a gift voucher worth $30.
