New York, New York!

Hello everyone!

Today's my sisters birthday, yay! I made her this card that I'm showing today.  Inspired by the challenge #369 over at Less is more, where the theme is "bring something back". In early June we are going to New York with our families for a vacation, so I dug up this stamp from Penny Black, that I bought six years ago in - New York! I also used my old water colour pencils to  colour just parts of the stamp, hence I'm entering a challenge at Less is more and there should be a lot of white space. The sentiment stamp is from lawn fawn, Big scripty.

Happy birthday sis'!

Have a great weekend!

There's a bearthday coming up!

Hello!

Today I'm playing with a soft colour palette of pink, lavender, green and light gray, inspired by the challenge over at Color throwdown. I used stamps from the cute Beary special birthday-set from MFT, coloured it with my promarkers. As for the background I used a distress oxide ink and gave it a kind of ombre look, and of course I splattered water drops to get that "splashy" look. I also sprayed it with a mix of perfect pearl gold, and water, to give it some shimmer. The white cardstock has a beautiful texture of woodgrain that looks really nice I think. Topped it off with enamel dots and some clear wink of stella on the balloons and on the icing of the cake.

Birthday hug!

Hello!

Today I'm playing over at Color throwdown (and I'm out in the last minute, I know...), where the colour theme for this week is red, green and white. Hm, so what to do, what to do...? I tried red distress ink blending on red cardstock to deepen the colour, I think I like it, splattered water and some gold ink spray over the background. Then I did some green ink blending on the green cardstock, covered the balloons and "grattiskram" with wink of stella. I finished off the card with some sequins. (The word and sentence on the card says "Birthday hugs from me to you", in Swedish.) 

Thank you so much for stopping by, I really appreciate you took the time!

Butterfly birthday!

Hello!

Sooo... My plan was to be healthy and well and let April fill me with light and energy blah, blah, blah... Ah well, perhaps in May then ;) Still I'm glad that I had the energy to craft today (even if I'm laying in bed right now, writing this blogpost, ha, ha...)

Today I'm showing a bright birthday card, you can never have enough of them, can you? I've used my distress oxide inks, dies and paper from lawn fawn and a butterfly stamp from reprint. Of course I used some stickles to make it sparkle a little.

LIM #368

Hi!

I'm joining the challenge over at Less is more, and this week you are CASE-ing a card. I don't have that many flower stamps, but I found this at the bottom of my stamp drawer (I actually think it's my sister's, hope she doesn't want it back...), blended some distress inks and embossed the sentence with silver embossing powder. I embellished with a few sequins and a little silver splatter.

Thanks for stopping by!
