Just for fun

Morning and hello!

Time for a new card from me just because it's fun to craft and create. I have done some more distress ink colouring and a bit of relaxing time for me.

I have used an old image from Bildmålarna. I don't remember what it's called and it sure looks a bit summer like with hanging the laundry outside. But it could be a good reminder of the warm summer day that has bin this year and the new ones coming our way again in just a few months.

I don't remember which paper pad I have used for this card. It might be a polish one... It's nice colours and I love the fantasic flowers on the panels. The colours are a bit muted and I love that, at least from time to time.

There is some rows of bakers twine in pink and some cotton lace tied into a bow where I have added a butterfly charm. The fabby cat die cut is from Magnolia, Sweden. One of my favourite dies even if I don't used it that often. Not all images fits with it. Except the border die I have used is there no more decorations on this card. Still it looks kind of busy, in a nice way according to me. :)

Anyway, hope you like my creation and that you take some time to do something that you enjoy!

Love n hugs

A card just for fun

Morning and hello!

I have another card for you today. I have created just for fun and that was a while since I did that. I have done some distress ink colouring which I don't do very often, but now was it a fun thing to bring a bit new energy in my crafting again. The colouring might be a bit "worse" than my Promarker colouring but it was fun.

I have used an old Tilda from Magnolia, Sweden for this card. I don't remember what she is called or from what collection she is from. I do however love the attitude of this image. The designer papers is a mix of left overs from other creations. I think Glitz have a main part of time. 

I have used a fiskars punch for the middle panel and on it have I added a light blue ribbon. The bow is tied with another blue ribbon with dots. Some more decorations are some card candy, some flowers from my stash and to top all of it all have I used a few die cut clouds. I decided to make the card into a birthday card with some fun and much loved letter stickers from Panduro. Wish I had a ton of them!

Anyway, I hope you like the card I have created. Take good care and do something that you love!

Love n hugs

Autumn colours over at Passion for Promarkers

Morning and hello!

It is already time for a new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers once again. The weeks just fly by doesn't they? This week's theme is set to "Autumn Colours". So something fall / autumn would be nice. 

Sponsoring us this week is Uniko Stamps that over one stamp set to one lucky winner. The stamp set has to be in stock. That will be one lucky winner of our challenge!

For my card this week have I dug out a Magnolia stamp from last year I think. I have used used it to practise some water colouring but now I thought it would be perfect to use for this autumn challenge as it kind of has a halloween theme to it. I have of course coloured with my promarkers, just like you should if you want to have a chance of winning the prize from us. 

I did also dug out my Walking in the forest paper pad from Maja design for this card as I realized that I have used up all my Halloweenish designer papers. It's strange, I don't celebrate halloween but I do love a good halloween paper pad. I do my best not to add anymore to my collection of never ever stop growing paper pads but this year I have been good at least for a month or two. LoL

I have used a bunch of die cuts from different brands for this card. There is a few spellbinders, a few MFT, and I think I managed to add a Lawn Fawn die into mix as well. I had to clue on how to decorate the card this time so die cuts and a bunch of orange golden sequines is what I ended up with. A fairly plain and simple card, still with extra details.

Anyway, I hope that you will come and join us here at Passion for Promarkers. It's always great to see what you create for our challenges. So do come on and join us!

Take care and do something that you enjoy and makes you happy!

Love n hugs

Prize for the winner - TO BE ADDED

I have used the fabby image called, well I can't find the image in the store so I hope to add this info as soon as I can. Anyway, it's a cute angel that I thought would be fun to colour in some nice blue shades and white and add the touches of yellow for the stars with my promarkers and some glitter glue on top of that. I have used some dp's from the mega pack of papers from Dovecraft called Christmas Fancy. Sometimes I wonder why on earth I got this pad as the patterns are pretty hard to work with on cards. However I love the bright, fun, modern colours so every now and then, I dig the pad out.

I did use my image fairly large this time. I wonder if my printer make things bigger than I want them to be? It feels that way from time to time. Or I might have to make my cards bigger. LoL I have raised the middle panel up on foam tape as well as the image. I found some nice lace with black string attached to it. Then a bunch of pearls, two swirls and some flowers. A fun, happy card is done!

Anyway, I hope that you want to you want to play along with us this month. Only a few months left until Christmas is here and you know you have your fabby cards ready to go in the mail.

Love n hugs

Let's celebrate over at The Paper Shelter

Morning and hello! 

Time for a new fun challenge over at the Paper Shelter. This week do we celebrate that we have had 400 regular challenges over at the Shelter. Many years and many challenges. On top of these have we had a whole bunch of other challenges like bloghops and special challenges. We hope for many more challenges.

This week do we have the theme of "Let's celebrate. We're 400 regular challenges old!" over at the Papershelter. That simply means that we want to see you make some celebration cards, LO's or what ever you fancy. Just as it get your thoughts going to celebrations.

I have used the new fabby image called Cupcake Birthday and coloured with my promarkes. I have added some sparkle with some glitter glue from Tim Holtz as well. This time in yellow. I have used a paper pad called The sweet Life from MF.

My dear old punch from Martha Stewart has been put to use again to manage some interest. A piece of lace and a few enamel shapes is also added. For the sentiment have I used some letterstickers from Doodle Bug in two different styles. Some letters is kind of used more than others...

As always, we have a gift voucher up worth $30 when you play with the Paper Shelter brand. Playing with another brand gives you the chance of winning 3 digis of your choice. Nice and easy to play along, right? You can enter our challenges up to three times, but at least one of your creations needs to have a TPS image on it.

Love n hugs
