Things with wings over at Passion for Markers

 Morning and hello!

It's time for a new challenge hosted by Team 1 over at Passion for markers. This week's theme is set to "Things with Wings". Usually a very popular theme and we hope that it is this time as well. 

Our sponsor for this challenge is Di's Digi Stamps  and she offers one lucky winner a gift voucher worth $6.00 to one lucky winner! Thank you for that!

For my card today have I used and hÄnglar and wings image once again. I had it coloured and made it into a card as I knew that I wasn't able to colour anything at this point. My little is from the set called Humlor. It's a lovely set with a boy and a girl, some flowers and leaves. It's a great set of stamps for sure!

I have coloured with promarkers and some details with some glitter pens as well as glitter drops from Nuvo. The paper pad is from Maja Design. I have added some leaves and paper roses to my card design, a few buttons that I fond in my stash is also used to decorate the card, I have also used a border punch from Martha Stewart as well. After all this time is that still a favourite that I bring back for use every now and then. 

I hope that you will play along with us and share your card over at Passion for markers. The only thing you have to do to play along with us is to use alcohol markers on your creations. 

Love n hugs

The first Just for fun card this year! JFF1-23

 Good afternoon dear crafters!

As I have a fairly good day with my fingers today did I thought that I would spend a little time with my computer before I start to watch the world championships of cross country skiing.  

This card was made a while back and sent to a community that tries to give our elderly people a little boost by inviting them for coffee and sending them a card for their birthdays and things like that. This card have no colouring on it but a lot of stamping. 

The ink pads are from Alternew but I am not sure what company have made the layered stamps. Anyway, I had a good time making this card and a few others that looks a like but not quite the same. I made a small collection of cards for this charity. If I find some new energy will I make a new batch of cards for them. I have also found another charity that sends out cards to kids who have a bit of a struggle in their lives. It have tons of cards laying around and maybe I should send them to this charity for some help in their work. We'll see, have to save up some money before I do that as the postage have become so expensive now. 

Anyway, I'm happy to share this card with you today and to spread a little sunshine as it's poring down rain here today!

Have a nice weekend!

Add some flowers over at Passion for Markers

 Morning and hello!

Hi! Welcome back to my corner of the blogging world. This week´s challenge over at Passion for Markers is hosted by MI and I have chosen the theme of "Add some flowers". A nice and easy theme I hope? 

We are sponsored by Color of Love Digis and this week´s winner will receive 3 digis of winners choice. Thank you so much for that!

As I still struggle with my finger joints have I not been able to use a sponsor image this time. I have used what I already had coloured. So my project might be a bit wintery but I am pretty sure that we will have more cold days here in Kalmar. Besides that is world championships of Biathlon still going on and I love to watch that, so I am still in winter mood.. Anyway, I am glad that I managed to take part in my own challenge and hope you like what you see.

My image is from hÄnglar and Wings and is called Snöskoj. The set have two cute snow people in it and a bucked filled with snow balls and some small stamps. I am so loving snowmen and each time I find a new image I smile. I have coloured with my promarkers and used some die cuts from Spellbinders to frame my image. I have also used some dies to make my flowers for the card, the classic rolled roses. :)

The paper pad I have used do I not remember from what company it is or what it's called. I love the colours and the pink on the snow girl made the petrol pop really well. I used up some of my golden ribbon, a golden star charm, some leaf, some glittery stars, and glitter Nuvo drops in the corners as well as on my snow flakes.

Well then, I hope you like my creation and you should really check out my teamies wonderful creations over at our challenge blog. I also hope that you come and play with us so I have plenty of cards or creations to pick my top 5 from. And don't forget about our prize as well!

Love n hugs

Use die cuts over at Passion for Markers

Moring and hello!

It have been a long silence here on my blog this year. Due to pain and struggle with my meds is my posts a bit unregular. When your body says stop you need to listen. Anyway, I have managed to make a card for this week's challenge. Yay for me! It took a while to colour but I am glad that I gave it a go.

Our sponsor this time is for us a new one called Alex Syberia Designs. They offer one lucky winner a gift voucher worth $10. That is what one lucky winner will receive this week! Thank you for that!

The image I have used is called Fabulous Floral. It's a lovely design and fun to colour. I have used parts of the image twice and coloured one of them. I cut the coloured part with a circle die as that is our theme

this week, USE DIE CUTS. Nice and easy theme, don't you think? Anyway, I cut down the other print of the image to fit my card. I then put the coloured circle over the rectangular image. To back it all did I use a part of a Lawn Fawn designer paper. Don't have the paper pad in mind at this point. 

After that did I die cut a sentiment from hÄnglar and Wings saying Grattis = (congratulations) a few times and layered them together to build some dimension for the card. On top of the card did I add a few pearls to finish it all off.

I hope you like what you see and that you come and play with us over at Passion for Markers.

New! 2023 first challenge over at Passion for Markers

 Morning and hello!

It's time for a new year and a new challenge over at Passion for Markers, and we start off light! Our theme is set to "New". That means we want to see that you use something new or have a theme of new in another way. 

Our sponsor for this challenge is The Paper Shelter which is offering one lucky winner 3 digis of winner's choice. Thank you for that!

For me is the "new" my paper pad. It's from Simple Stories and is called Simple Vintage Winter Woods. It's a lovely paper pack with mild colours of grey, blue/green and pink. It's stunning!

I have used the image called Cosy Winter Wishes and it's one of the more detailed images with lots of small areas to colour but this one is really worth it. I love how I managed to get the colours to match up fairly good to my designer papers and with some paper flowers, leaf and gemstones have I given the card some dimension and texture. For a nice finish did I also add a bow in matching colour. My sentiment is from hÄnglar and Wings.

Nice and short once again! I have huge trouble using the computer and my very nosy Maine Coon lady Hilde isn't helping, even if she believes she is! Give me back my keyboard!

Love n hugs

Marie
