This is nuts!

Ok, this will be the third, yep third post here today. I have been asked to be guest designing for the lovely gals over at the Sisterhood of Crafting, and guess which day they have their challenges up? Jepp, Wendsdays it is. LoL I will add this little badge on it's right place ASAP when my energy is back after my surgery yesterday. Kind of preposted this one as well. I am so greatful that the lovely girls over at the sisterhood invited me for this adventure. Thanks gals!

So for this the first challenge (for me) over at "the sisters" the theme is

Let it shine!

Use bling and glitter and what else there is to make things shine. Nice and easy isn't it? I for sure thought that. I even made two projects so this will be long post again. LoL It was very natural to make to projects as I have twin nieces and they had their birthdays a while back so it's also safe to post them now.

For my first card I have used this lovely Tilda from one of the latest club kits from Magnolia. She is coloured with distress inks. On the ballon I have used glossy accent and some golden glitter to have a lovely glittery ballon. And as my nieces are very "princessy", great word hey? They love glitter, sparkle and pink and flowers etc. My designer papers are from Bearly Mine design. You find a link in my sidebar to this lovely store. Donna will make sure you get your products qick and easy. The flowes and leafs and the lace is from Wild Orchid Crafts, and so is the blue blingstones in the corners.

I have made both cards easel ones and this is how the bottom looks. I believe I have use one of the alphabets from Tim Holtz dies for the text which says happy birthday in Swedish. I did actually forgot to take a picture of the other (in-)side of the card. How nuts is that? Oh well, it has been a lot lately. Theres is also alot of stickles added to the flowers on both cards.

And then we have the second card to inspire you all. This Tilda is also quite new and she is coloured with my usual promarkers on CC4 paper. The designer papers here is also from Bearly Mine lovely pink roses. I love this paper! It's so girly. The same here, flowers are from Wild Orchid as well as the lace. Punched out leafs and half pearls from BunnyZoe.  

And here comes the bottom and inside of the card. Here I have used alphastickers in green to say happy birthday. The little buckle with blingstones is from Altheas mix.

I hope that my creations can inspire at least one of you. I can't wait to see what you come up with for the shiny challenge over at the Sisterhood of Crafters.

With love n hugs

Our sponsors this week is Peach Keen Stamps that offer one winner a $ 30 gift certificate, The paper shelter of 3 digis of winners choice and our lovely Donna at Bearly Mine offer one lucky winner two digisets of winners choice. Well worth playing for isn't it?

My card is made with one of the lovely images from The Paper Shelter and the Bearly Mine papers I've used is from one of the newest sets called Cheeky Days. Love the colours in those papers. "Little Sylvie" from the Paper Shelter is coloured with my copics and promarker pens. The look a little washed out here on my blop. I need to have a talk to my printer about that. In other words, I must have done something with the settings. :) Flowers are all from Wild Orchid craft and so are the hear pins. Swirls are made with a Marianne Creatable. Brads from Papermania. The butterflies that are stamped is made with a tiny prima stamp. And the fabric butterfly comes from Altheas Mix. Have almost ran out of them by now. :(

With this I leave you for today. I will try to get a better picture of my card later on as soon as the weather is a tiny bit better. Then you'll see that it's a least a little bit brighter than this.  So I leave you now so you can head of to your crafting table and start making a lovely entry for our challenge this time. Take care and enjoy your crafting time!

Love n hugs,

Marie
