Hello blogging friends!

Here I have another project to the Stampalot Challenge Medals and Monarchs. This time it's a card so I hope it's OK with one more contribution, I really felt that this was a very fun challenge!

I found some freebies at Freubel with monarchs that I decided to use for this card.

But I started with the top and the inside of the card, by stamping with several stamps and then clear heat embossed the stamped. After that I sponged over it, and all the edges with distress ink.

I wrote the sentiment ( King, for one day) by hand on a banner from one Pion design paper.

Of course he must have his horse, and I think it deserves a place on a medal.

 The medal I made of a strip of paper that I first punched and colored with distress ink, then I accordion folded it. The horse were found in my stash.

Stamps that I used are from Crafty Individuals, Crafty Secrets, You Do, Inkadinkado and Norsk Stempelblad.

I don´t think I need to tell you more about this card, hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit

Fake It Till You Make It

Morning all, just stopping by to share a card!

I started off my card by using another stamp from Norsk Stempelblad and colored it with Distress Markers.

I tried to use up some paper and other embellishments being left over.

The sentiment are made of some silver metal plates that I have had for a time, but not known what to do with. Now I covered them with Snow Cap Alchol Ink and let them dry.

Then I took some vellum punched letters and painted them black with a Copic Marker.

I put the letters on the plates with red brads and a bit of glue.

This was a fun creation to do, but I still have to get myself a better watercolor paper:)

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Have a beautiful day!

Hugs, Birgit

Altered Cookie Jar

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog!

Today I show one altered jar, and in it there have been those oblong chocolate filled biscuits rolls that you usualy have to ice cream. Unfortunately I forgot completely to photograph it before I started working on it.

I wanted to try my new Distress Markers and the new stamps from Norsk Stempelblad, so I stamped a crown on water colour paper and started color it.

I thought it was a bit difficult to get it really well and after I painted and cut it out, I clear embossed it, and then faded the colors a bit.

The chic girl were found at Free Vintage Digital Stamps and I printed the image directly on one Melissa Frances paper.

For the top I made an own flower of a strip of paper, tape, a border punch, distress ink, lace and a pearl in the middle.

The sentiment from Create with TLC were colored and then covered with Glossy Accents and Stickles.

I really like that black and white ribbon I bought the other day in my lokal store.

That's all from me today, hope you liked it.

Hugs, Birgit

Hello and happy Tuesday everyone!

Here in my little part of the world, the spring sunshine have difficult to varm up the air enough. There are 11 - 12 * C every day, I long for real warmth and being able to sit outside with a cup of coffee:)

Sometimes it is good to have cards ready, that fits to many different occasions, this is such one.

First I used one old digi stamp that I had sawed on my computer, I colored it with Copics.

Then I layered the image over a couple of Spellbinders die cuts, sponged with distress ink.

I took a pretty paper from Bildmålarna and stamped on it with stamps from the Pinkpaislee Butterfly Collection, I must say it is favorite stamps.

Then I painted the edges with a little white acrylic paint.

I stamped the sentiment, cut using Spellbinders Fancy Tags die, sponged on ink and then layered on top of the papers and lace.

Other asseccories I used, Platinum Stickles, some pearls, pearlstring, twine, lace, flowers and one metal corner to finish of.

Hope to see you back some other time, thanks for visiting today!

Hugs, Birgit

Mother´s Day Tag

Hello everyone!

I needed a Mother´s day tag and decided to use one of the images from the A4 sheet with Victorian ladies.

I cut them out and covered them with a layer clear Utee.

The text I have written on our old typewriter that I got the idea to pick up. It probably has not been used the past 20 years, but it worked perfectly right away! Fantastic, not even the ribbon had dried up.

For the rest of the tag I have used paper and stamps of Inkido, ribbons and flowers etc.

Thank you for stopping by today, have it great!
Hugs, Birgit

Monocromatic Blue

Hello blogging friends and welcome new and old followers!

Last weekend I was on a scrap meeting, where the challenge was to make a monocromatic, and in my case, blue card with this stamp. This was my contribution.

I can say I did not win the challenge, there were so many talented scrapbookers there.

I want to thank Mia ​​and her gang on Hobbyhärvan for a great weekend.

I have used papers from Papirdesign and Pion design. The image were colored with my Copics, I hope you can see how the wind blows.

The fruits and some parts on her hat and the butterflies got a little Glossy Accents and Star Dust Stickles on.

The sentiment from Rox Stamps were Faded Jeans distressed and cut with Spellbinders Label Four.

For the fence I used a Memorybox die and the image were layered on a Fleur De Lis Squares frame cut with Spellbinders.

Some other things from my stash, lace and bling found its way to my card, and then it was done.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit

Hey You! Celebrating!

Hello and happy Wednesday!
I hope your day is getting off to a great start.

Today I´m sharing with you a card made for a man.

This digital image with this pointing man I found at Vintage Digital Stamps.

I used Printery Collection papers from Prima Marketing.

The dial on the watch got a layer Crackle Accents, but it appears not so good in the picture.

For the bracelet on the watch, I used braided nature hamp string.

There is not much more to say about it.

Hope you all have a wonderful day, and find some time to be crafty:)

Hugs, Birgit
