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

Delightful Challenges - Stitching
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hugs, Birgit

You´re Sweet!

Hi there, yeah, I´m back again.

It´s about Feeling Fruity, but I found this Strawberries and fell for them.

 

As you see I gave the strawberries little Glossy Accents for more shine.

That´s all from me, thanks for comming by!

Hugs, Birgit

Wishing You Sunshine Every Day

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

Christmas in July

Hello my friends!

I've sat here and tried to get into the holiday spirit in the middle of summer, but it has not been easy, I say.

I decided to ignore Santa Claus and do a bit more wintery card instead.

I think this flower looks like a Christmas rose, you know, one of those that can blossom in the snow.

I must say that I like these images printed directly on the fabric. This one I found at The Grphics Fairy as well as the reindeer on the inside.

 

I found a gorgeous black lace with stretch when I was shopping last time at Hobbyhärvan, that I have used.

Other things I have used: Papers from DCWV Winter Wonder Stack and one I do not remember the name of.

Frame: My Design, Stickles: Star Dust, Borderpunch, Flowers, Twine, Button and some Perfect Pearl.

I want to show the inside too.

 

Entered Challenges:

Mojo Monday - I used the Sketch

My Old Bottle

Happy Tuesday evening everyone!

I am back with a a bottle that I have decorated.

Since I've read that it is possible to print images directly onto a fabric, I had to try it also, of course.

Here are the results. The image I have taken from Magic Moonlight Studio.

The bottle is old and I have had it out in my garden a few years, but now it has been redesigned and will be allowed to stay indoors.

I have used pieces of fabric from old curtains, lace, some twine, gauze bandage, different flowers and one Shapeabilities Fluorish Accent die.

For the sentiment I used one Nellie Snellen die and a stamp from ROX Stamps, which I sponged with Old Paper Ink.

I hung it around the neck of the bottle with a little metal wire.

 I thought that a key could also fit to hang there, and so it had to be.

I enter this bottle in the following challenges:

Sukkersött - Pynt ei Flaske eller et Glass

Totally Gorjuss - Punch or Die

Allsorts Challenge Blog - Free and Easy

Simon Says Stamp and Show - Anything Goes

Sparkles Forum Challenge - Elegant @ Lace

Thats all from me, have a great week!

Swing on over sometime

Hello my friends...,thank you for your visit.

My card today was made for Stampin Royalty (I used the sketch) and Less is Mores Challenge (Button or Ribbon).

Coloring is done with Copics and the image and sentiment was found at Create with TLC.

I used Black Magic coredinations paper which I sandpapered a little and then punched.

The seambinding was colored in with Distress Ink. Broken China and Faded Jeans.

Dies from Nellie Snellen and Spellbinders.

That´s about it I think.

Thank you for your time!

Hugs, Birgit
