There's so mushroom...

Hello everyone!

Hope your'e having a fabulous week. Today I'm showing a mushroom card (love this set from Altenew). I used my distress oxide inks and stamped the mushrooms in different colours. Did some ink splatter in the background in gold metallic and teal, and then I framed my mushrooms with a circle wreath die. Hope you like it!

Do you wanna go camping?

Hello everyone, and thank you for stopping by!

I wanted to use this super cute stamp set from Sunny Studio Stamps, and I had this idea to combine an embossing folder with water colouring. However, I often experience that the picture I have in my head, doesn't match the picture IRL (sigh...), but I had to make it work anyway (beacause Lazy is my middle name). I think it worked out alright, what do you think?

Stripy Birthday!

Hello everyone!

Today I'm showing a birthday card with stripes. I did some ink blending with my distressed oxide inks, messed it up, and then thought "well it goes with the style", so I left it (maybe, it's also because I'm too lazy to start over...). Hope you like it!

It's a magical day!

Hello everyone!

Today I'm showing a card with a magical theme. I coloured a unicorn with my promarkers and then I used my blender pen to make some texture to the hair. I also covered the hair with my spectrum noir clear overlay glitter pen, and I put some glossy accent on the unicorn horn. I ink splattered the background to make it a little bit more interesting and to pick upp the colour theme. The sentence is embossed with silver embossing powder.

Three colours

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog!

I'm enjoying my last day of Easter break and here in Sweden, at least in my part of the country, spring has had a quick start. It's sunny and warm and I just love it!

Today I'm showing a card with three colors; blue, orange and yellow. I used my distress oxide inks and dies from Lawn Fawn. The sentiment is from MFT's "stars above" and I think it fits quite well.

Thank you so much for taking time to stop by!

Sweet birthday!

Hello everyone!

Hope your all having a wonderful Saturday. Here in Sweden we're getting spring fever (although I know it could get cold and snow next week), with +7°C and the sun shining, I just love it! 

On today's card I've used a stamp set from Avery Elle, distress oxide and a stencil from Altenew for the background. I embossed the macarons with clear embossing powder to make them really shiny, and in my very messy ribbon box, I found this ribbon that matched the ink from Versa Color perfectly.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hugs & tiny hearts!

Hello everyone!

Today I played around with my distress oxides, and I also decided to use this stamp set from Concord & 9th. I've had it in my stash for quite a while, but I haven't used it until today. The sentiment is from Technique tuesday, and the tiny heart die is from Lawn Fawn.

Thanks for stopping by!

Mandala birthday

Hello everyone!

Birthday season has begun in my family, today we've celebrated one of my sisters, and it gets the card making going:) Today I was inspired by all the mandala stamps creations I've seen lately, but since I have decided not to buy any new craft material for a while (wish me luck, but I really can't keep on buying stuff I don't have time to use, right?),  I had to dig deep (I knew I had it somewhere...) into my stash to find this Nellie Snellen stamp, woohoo! The colour combo is from the challenge at CTD; aqua, saffron, brown and yellow. So happy birthday again sis'!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!

It's been a while. 

I find it really hard to keep up the blogging and social media while your supposed (and I know that this is only me, pressuring myself) to be creating, at the same time that life, family and job happens. Does anyone recognize this? Anyhow, I've decided to be kind to myself, I mean I love cardmaking, and why stop doing something I love? 

So one challenge that always is inspiring me is the one at Color Throwdown, every week, new colours and new ideas. So I'm happy to be back in the "blogosphere" with this contribution to challenge #513 at Color Throwdown, with the colours lime, green and navy in focus.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hope you like it!

Hello everyone!

Today I'm entering another colour challenge, this time at Less is more.

I used a stencil from Clear scraps, and a stamp from Panduro. Then I used a die with a background "shadow" (don't remember the brand), and my distress oxide inks (oooh how I love those, they are so easy to apply). It was hard, but then I decided to NOT make ink splatter on the background to keep the card panel clean and simple. However, there's always room for some glitter right? If you look closely on the sentiment you can see a little sparkle from my wink of Stella clear glitter brush.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

You are awesome!

Hello everyone!

I hope you're enjoying the weekend. Today I'm showing a card with an encouraging sentiment, and I think it's quite versatile. You can use it as a birthday card or why not for mother's day, I know many awesome moms:) 

I started to make the background with distress oxide ink, hickory smoke, the stamp is from Boho dreams, Kaisercraft, and I did some paperpiecing with paper from Lawn fawn on the bow. "You" and "are" are from MFT but I really can't remember from which brand I got the "awesome" die... I finished the card with a few silver glitter enamel dots.

Hello everyone!

Today I'm playing over at Color Throwdown, they have a new colour challenge every week, and the colours for this week are coral, green, kraft and white:

I personally associate those colors with a more flowery theme, but since I don't have so many stamp sets with flowers at all, I tried to think out of the box here... And I'm quite pleased with the result. I used a stencil with versamark ink and white embossing powder on kraft cardstock, and it actually worked out a lot better than I expected at first, cause some of the stars were really teeny tiny. I sprayed the background with a mix of perfect pearl gold and water, and of course it warped, so I adhered some fun foam on the back of it. Then I used stars and a sentiment from a stamp set from MFT; stars above, and coloured them with distress ink. The sentiment I stamped on a piece of vellum to it make pop a little against the background.

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

Hello!

This challenge at "Less is more" is a sketch challenge. I used a paper pad; perfectly plaid rainbow, and a die set; simply puffy cloud frames, from Lawn Fawn. The sentiment is from Jillibean soup. I masked off the clouds so I could splatter some gold ink in a kind of controlled way, I didn't want the ink to be all over the place:). Here's the sketch:

And here's my card:

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.
