Hi again and happy Saturday to all of you!

This time I show you a black and white card for a male birthday, and I used Crafty Creations sketch.

I must say I like this picture of the motorcycle.

Behind the motorcycle I used a Spellbinders Scalloped Edge Frame.

And behind that I used some black metal flowers that I have cut from un old candle holder.

Hope you can see it better here.

I used a piece of white embossed paper and black lacer cut at one edge.

I stamped Happy Birthday directly on the ribbon.

Then I took little black twined leather straps, jeans buttons and gauze bandage and placed it together at the bottom.

Blue and Yellow - Swedish National Colors

Hello, everyone!

Youst a quick post for Less is More.

I've been thinking all week about what I could do for this week's challenge, but it has been difficult and no good ideas have come up.

Finally I found two papers that had the right colors and right motives.

There will be ocean blue and sunshine yellow.

 The sunflower may symbolize the sun and I placed it as a sun over the water.

Besides, I have been using pieces of paper that I stitched down with the sewing machine, and the sunflower had a little extra sparkle.

Thats all from me today.

Wish you all a nice weekend!

Hugs, Birgit



Sketchy Colors Challenge Rosa,Hvitt og Gull and others...

Hello, I´m back again...

...and this time I have something to hang on the wall to show you.

I wanted to focus on the sentiment, so I have added a layer of clear embossingpouder over the entire surface so it became glossy and shiny.

The background paper is from INKIDO - ljusrosa ros, and I sponged the edges with Tattered rose, Spun sugar and Worn lipstick Distress Ink.

I cut out two butterflies from a Prima Marketing sheet, and a flower image from one 3ndy papir.

Lace and the floral metal are from my stash. Behind the lace are a small paper that I have punched with a Marta Stewart punch.

At the bottom of the heart I placed one old rose stickers that I have had for years that only been lying there.

I also used one My Design diecut and clothespins.

Then I made a bow of seam binding and a golden pipe cleaner.

Maybe I have forgotten something but I think that's about all.

Hello, hope you are all well!

Today I have a card for a color challenge "Lavender, Celery and Gray" over on CR 84 FN 35.

I usually have trouble finding appropriate papers for color challenges, but...here is my result.

I used the sketch over at Everybody Art Challenge.

On a base of gray CS, I layered sheets of INKIDO -Forever, Maja Design - Äntligen and Bazzil Basics Paper - Berry Pretty.

That was followed up with an image from PION Design - Bilder från förr.

At the top and bottom I glued small pieces of lace.

Here I have used one die - cut that I stamped with a You Do stamp in old paper ink. and Grattis (Congrats) stamp from Reprint.

One of the die cuts from Shapeabilities Fluorish Accent were sponged with forest moss ink. and placed at the bottom.

Some green twine and two roses were added.

In one corner, I thought it fitted with a small round picture and a metall corner.

I also added one lovely flower from Prima and a little pearl string and more lace.

I think that´s about it.

I enter this card in the following challenges:

Craft Your Days Away - Birthdays

Stampin For The Weekend - Spots & Dots

Hello, my friends!

It's been a while since I used a stamp from Magnolia to a card, but here comes one to this week's challenge at Just Magnolia. This week it´s about Buttons, Bows & Blooms.

I used the sketch over at Papertake Weekly.

I colored her with Copics and added a little Crystal Stickles.

The designer paper are from GCD Studios.

Then I grabbed a bunch of flower-shaped buttons and tied bows on them.

I have also used one doily, crinkled seam binding and one flower brad.

I found the sentiment on a blog for some time ago, but I don´t remember where.

Thank you for looking!

Hugs, Birgit
