Passion for Promarkers and Papertake weekly

At Papertake Weekly Challenge this week there is a sketch looking like below. And at Passion for Promarkers there is a colour combo to follow. Bright green and Mango. I thought it was a good idea to combine the two challenges once again and save me some time as it is something I am quite low on at this time. For my image I've used High Hope's Scuba kitty and the text "Catfish". DP are bloom and groom from My Minds Eye. Perfect colours for PfP's challenge. I've used tons of glossy accent to hightlight the water around the fish/cat, and the bowl. Hopefully you're able to see some of it. It looks greet IRL! LoL

I've also flipped the sketch around to get it more suitable for my image. It keept togehter much better this way. A few punched flowers and some cousins to the dew drops are also used. The ribbon is also coloured with the promarkers, Henna this time on a spotty dotty ribbon in white. :)

OK, time to give the cats a bath as they are covered in dust from the litterbox. Not a very nice look or smell. Way too long since they looked inside the bath tub!

One card, and a few challenges again

Never thought that I would be able to make any cards this week, but one is done and it fits into a few challenges out there. Limited time for the coming three weeks, but I miss my card making so I try to get one or two together at least.

I have three weeks of working out at the hospital during the whole days now and it's great! I know that I have a body that is alive again. :) And I am really tired, and in a good way for the first time in very long. Love that! Hope I can find a bit of the old me again. But now to the challenges.

First out it Just Magnolia monthly challenge which is to make a tent card, then there is flower power over at CupCake Craft Challenges and Quixotic Challenges which have "Leave it out" as a theme. A good match over there as well as the whole DP from 300dpi.com is covered with them, as well as I have put a few ones around the flower.

´

I coloured with different kind of inks and done a lot of cutting. I've used three Magnolia stamps on this card, all from the animal and pet collection from last year. The flowers are from Prima, leaf punch from McGill, brads from Papermania and the DP from DCWV as I told before. It's their digi store that is called 300dpi. The paper is from the collection "Songbird".

Well all friends out there. Time to rest and relax infront of the TV for a while and then early to bed tonight. Long day tomorrow as well.

Have a good evening!

Hugs,

Marie

Friday Sketchers week 92

Hi out there in the blog world!
I hope that you're having a way much better day than I am, and it's only 09,30. It's totally crazy and the olders son has tummy flue for the third  day. And of cours Mats is working the weekend as well. I'm so tired! Were only sleeping three hours last night and my mood and temper today is horrable! Thought I would blog this card and see if I can calm down a little. I feel like I'm drowning at the moment, not a very good feeling.

Well then, card time! In the middle of all this mess that is over here at the moment I managed to make a card last night for the Friday Sketch challenge. Never think I've been this early. :) I have three busy weeks coming up with lots of different kind of work outs all day long at the hospital, so I guess I won't be making many cards the coming weeks.

The sketch made by Claudia...

For the card I've used Mimosa from Bildmålarna.se, tons of pearls from both Bunny Zoe and Skaparlusten. Flowers are from Prima and Stämpelgården, and so are the rose buds. Paper string from Prickiform, the MS heart is from Tracy at dies to die for, just coloured it in with a pink promarker pen. Leafs are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Mimosa is coloured with distress inks. DP is from Panduro and the brown "wellie paper" came with a gift to one of my sons. Reusing today. Loved the effect with that harsh and kind of rough look with the more girly pink. The sentiment is die cutted with a tiny alpha from Sizzix, Neon Mini I think it's called. It says "happy birthday" in Swedish. A good amount of glitter is also used on the card. It was snowing a lot last night and I kind of got hit the X-mas spirit again. Crazy I know but it's over now. :) Gold glitter is from Panduro and cotton candy from Rangers.

The card made by MI...

Well, guess I have to go and take care of the kids even if I feel like running away from home at the moment.
Take care every one and have a good day!

Hugs,
Marie

A bunch of challenges in one card...

I didn't plan to make any more cards this week. Feeling a bit down and my rheumatism is killing me, but then I just had to colour and I forgot about my pain for a while. Now I've taken the worst picture ever of the card because tomorrow will be no time for blogging. My boys are of kindergarten tomorrow and I thougth we should do something fun, and tomorrow that means baking cup cakes. Bless our kitchen! :) Hopefully it can keep W and P happy for a while and then their grandma will show to take care of them during eve. Mats and I are going and listen to writer than talks about how to help your kids to become brighter. Well yes, it sounded like a good idea at the time. It's free and only cost us a couple of hours if it's no good and the boys will have fun at the same time. A win win situation.

Well almost forgot about my card. Since the challenges is a) Magnolia, b) Cupcake craft challenges and c) Papertake weekly challenge there had to be a Magolia stamp in it, I've got two for a change and the theme is birthdays. :) There is plenty of bling and a bow as asked for at PTW, and there is also a bunch of circles and round shaps in it, as asked for in CCC.

My card looks like this. Hope you like it, if you can see how it looks. Told you the photo is really bad. :(

Time to go to bed and get a good nights rest as I will need it, badly.

Hugs for you all,
Marie

Passion for promarkers week 40 + Friday sketchers 91

Hi and hello in the sunshine!
Almost a little tiny bit of spring feeling going on here today. The snow is melting and the sky is blue for the first time for ages. Love that! :)

Todays card is for Passion for Promarkers and the theme is Back to nature and any colours will do as long as you follow the theme. I also entering the card to FS as I have used their lovely sketch. The sketch is from Friday Sketchers and looks like this.

I've used a paper stack from  DCWV, think they call it "Masculin". Anyway it's nice brown, blue and green colours in the patterns and that's just what I need for this card. I've used a stamp from Lili of the Valley for the first time, and it was so much fun to colour. Have to buy a couple more of those. Saw they had "Tomas the cat" coming up and since I live and breath cats, he needs to move in with me, don't he? :) This little fellow is fishing so I thought he is really in nature. I've used to sketch from Friday sketchers this week. Have used a couple of flowers from my stash, a few fish charms and some bronze coloured half pearls from Bunny Zoe. Enjoy!

Hugs,
Marie
