Welcome to a new week and to my blog!

I´m here with the last projects for the Anonyme Timeglass Part 4 challenge.

 

 

Matching

Make a matching set of 3, here is my take on it.

 

 

I remembered that I had saved three free digi images of men playing music on my computer some time ago.

 

 

I printed them out in different sizes and backed two of them up with note stamping in pink, then I sponged the edges.

For the first one I cut him out with Spellbinders and placed him on a Diaper Fold Card made of coordinating pattern papers from October Afternoon Woodland Park. I used those papers for all the three matching projects. A little tag was made with a sentiment and note stamping, then three blue rhinestones was adhered to the image.

 

 

For the next one I placed him on a Gable Box made of the same papers, three blue rhinestones was adhered here also.

 

 

For my last musician I chose a Wine Tag. Naturally, he is accompanied by three blue rhinestones.

An invitation (Here I come to Save the day) with wine, something good to eat and good music related, how about that?

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A Merry Christmas

 

Welcome back, and thank you for visiting me today!

Today I have created a Christmas card and had some fun with all the papers and stamps from PaperCraftScandinavia for this one.

 

 

 

I´m loving these glittery Christmas cards. I´ve used a variety of the new paper patterns and mix and matched them....even for the inside.

 

 

 

 

I just want to remind everyone of this months challenge over at Inkido, and it´s about Butterflies. I hope you will join in the fun, you find it HERE.

And we are welcoming our new designer from Scrap Therapy, hope you will stop by her blog and give her some love.

Hugs, Birgit

Autumn Wreath

Hi there!

I´ts time for Part 2 of  AnonymeTimeglass, and this time it´s a Free Task. Make what you want.

 

 

Since I've been thinking about making a wreath to hang on the inside of the front door but not really got started, I thought that maybe I should take the opportunity now. It may be able to hang there almost up to Christmas. After I looked around on the web for ideas, I wanted to try to make a coffee filter wreath.

 

 

Since I had a bit of a hurry, I put the coffee filters after I dyed them into my convection oven so that they would dry faster. So it's a good tip.

 

 

I used Distress Ink refillers to dye the coffee filters with, but I could probably have taken a little more color because they faded a bit after they dried. To get a little more color on them I stamped them with a text stamp. After I glued all the flowers on the frame I thought it still needed more autumn color, so I sprayed it with more inks and glimmer mists.

 

 

For the red flowers I used kraft glassine and a die from X-cut. I colored it with Alcohol ink and heated in perfect pearl for a shimmery look, in the middle I added a button.

 

 

I stamped a Tim Holtz tree stamp on a die cut with a white paper behind, then i cut the tree out by hand and glued it back on place. After that I colored it with Copics and Distress ink, on top I added a layer Crackle Accents. Two leaves were also sprayed with ink and adhered together with a ribbon tied to a bow.

 

 

Well there was a lot of text today, thank you for reading this far, and for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Hugs, Birgit

Anonyme Timeglass - Del 1

 

Hi there, and welcome back sweet blogging friends!

Here is my first project to Part - 1 in Anonyme Timeglass...

 

 

 ...and I thought I may as well continue with the Christmas theme when I had the stuff out.

The challenge is to do a project which is not square or rectangular.

And it is also about the details: Use lace / ribbon - pearls - painting / mist.

Here is my take on it.

 

 

I created a circular side step card with the Ebony Smith stamp from The Emerald Fairie Garden and colored it with Copics. I added Glossy Accents and Star Dust Stickles to the wings and cut it out with Spellbinders dies. Then I drew a border with a black pen around the edge of the image and added some Paper Pen dots.

 

I used a piece of Basic Grey patterned paper for my card base and painted it round the edges with Picket Fence Crackle Paint.

A red ribbon was edhered and tied to a bow together with a pearl button. Parts of a rhinestone swirl was also added. The sentiments is from Inkido and it was stamped in StazOn Forest Green.

 

 

I sprayed a piece of lace with Snowy Pine Glimmer Mist and Frech Lemon Dylusions ink and attached it on my card along with a few gems. A couple of alder cones that I picked earlier this fall finished of my card.

Thanks so much for visiting! Have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Birgit

Gingerbread House

 

Hello friends!

Yes, I know it's still fall but I can not help it, as soon as I get to see some Christmas paper or stamps, I would immediately use them.

So now it has become yet another Christmas card with the Inkido and Pion designs beautiful vintage paper.

 

For my easelcard I used an image from Robyns Fetish with a gingerbread house that I painted with Copics. The roof was painted with 3-D snow and around the windows I used white Paper pen. The windows got a layer crackle paint.

 

 

I cut out some images, distressed the edges and placed them behind the house. The snowflakes was punched out, got some Star Dust Stickles on and after drying, a rhinestone in the middle.

 

 

On the door I adhered a metal charm and a little red ribbon bow. A ribbon with a sentiment were adhered at the bottom. For the lower panel with the gingerbread hearts I used a couple of old stamps I found in my stash.

Have a wonderful week ahead! Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit
