Hello everyone!

Today I have a card in black and white with three red flowers to show you. It was one of the challenges of the Swedish scrapbookings midsummer crop, which has just ended.

I stamped an image with a horse from Inkadinkado and cut it out.

Then I cut and embossed white cardstock with a Romantic Rectangles die.

And after that I cut and embossed black cardstock with a Floral Doily Motifs die, and a Fleur De Lis Rectangles die and drawn with a white pencil around the edge.

The sentiment were made with one stamp from Slöjd detaljer.

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

It was layered  over the black pieces.

Round the edge I added Black Diamond Stickles and black pearls in the corners.

I punched out some black and white leaves which were adhered with the flowers.

One pearl swirl and a lace bow topped with a brad finished off my card.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Birgit

Great Gift Idea

Hello and happy Saturday!

This time I want to show you a tealight holder.

Perfect as a gift to take with me next time I visit some good friends.

I used Pink Bouquet paper from the Inkido Sunshine collection.

And the new "You are an Angel" stamp for the sentiment.

Along with the lovely colorful roses, I added some dark brown sheaf. I hope you see it even if the image is slightly blurred.

Around the hole where the tealight stands, I attached a lace.

This Tiffany Jewels made a perfect center for my bow.

That´s all from me today. I so much appreciate your visit - be back real soon!

Now it is almost time for the holidays and I hope you have time for a little crafting.

Hugs, Birgit

Another Fun Project

Hi all happy blogging friends!

Here is another card which I've been playing around with my Dylusions Ink Sprays.

It's really fun, I must say.

I also wanted to use my new Bottle Caps Images, but maybe not the way it was intended.

I took a couple of the images and hung them in the street lamp, and gave them wings. The wings are silvery metal so to get them white, I used the Snow Cap Alcohol Ink.

I used Decorative Lamp stamp from Kaisercraft and some variety old stamps from my stash to stamp the paper. I also used one Dylusions stencil and coloring with Distress Markers, black and white pencils.

Over the pictures I put down some epoxy dots to get a bit dimension.

Hope you see it in the picture.

All cards need some flowers right? These are made with a Memory Box die, and pearls.

Ribbon, Twine and one metal charm finished of this project.

Thanks for stopping by! I wish you all a nice summer weekend!

Hugs, Birgit

A Summer Day

Good morning everyone! Here is a new card for you.

I saw the lovely stamp by Sarah Kay in my box, and boom, I had both stamped and colored it.

Then I had to find some papers that fit into my image. Luckily I found a couple from Reprints Collection As time goes by, who had just the right colors.

She is sitting and enjoying the summer scents among flowers, along with the butterflies.

I cut and embossed the image with Romantic Rectangles from Spellbinders.

I added some Flowers, Black Pearls, Silver Pearl Maker, Ribbons, Lace, Twine and a Flower Button.

The small butterflies was cut out from a Pion design sheet.

For the sentiment tag I used one Reprint stamp and sponged the edges.

One Floral Fluorishes die cut on the top right finished of my card.

I'm so glad you stopped by here today!

Have a wonderful week!

Hugs, Birgit

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a nice Midsummer holiday, with plenty of good food and dancing around the leafy maypole.

I´m here with a wedding card today. It's that time of year that many takes the opportunity to marry.

I wanted ​​it to be simple but yet elegant.

I used white CS and scored it in a square pattern, then i added Pearl Maker at each corner.

To the lower part I used one paper from Bildmålarna - Dreams, and the sentiment stamp from Bildkällan. The sweet freebie birds were printed directly on the paper and the rings got a little Platinum Stickles on. After that I added a lovely pearl lace.

A black SC was adhered underneath.

On the inside I used one Inkido stamp (Love conquers all) and some Inkadinkado swirl stamps.

Some dies from Spellbinders was used for cutting and embossing.

There is not much more to say about this, I hope you like it, and the wedding couple too.

I wish them all the luck in the future.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit

In The Summer Time

Hi blogging friends!

I think everyone has heard Mungo Jerry's summer song, and it makes me happy when I listen to it.

It has inspired me when I made this card. Then I used the colors in the latest challenge in CR84FN yellow, gray and neutral. It is not colors that I use every day so it was not easy, but I still thought they should fit well with this theme. I used the great sketch over at Sketchy Colors.

 

 

I have had this old car saved on my computer for a while, it has been waiting to get on a card.

White flowers and the lace under the one with eyes, was colord in with Distress Inks.

I used old papers and laser cuts from Panduro. The song text was found on a website and printed out.

That´s it for this one I think. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs, Birgit

Why Take The Chance?

Hello everyone!

Back today to share something completely new, at least for me.

I've long been wanting to try the Art Journaling technique, but I want to incorporate it into my cards. Now I've finally bought a few sprays and stencils, so you have to remember that this is my first attempt with Art Journaling.

But what I love the bright colors!!!

The background is made with Dylusions ink sprays. Then I used some stencils, Gesso and Distress Inks. A bit of stamping and drawing with pencils.

The good cleaning fairy from Stampingbella were stamped onto watercolor paper and painted with Distress Markers. Then I cut her out and attached her on the background paper. Then I thought it would be good to use my new Glue n'seal on top and around the edges of the fairy, but it was the biggest mistake, because you can see how it went!

I added Pearl Maker in her hair, Star Dust Stickles on the feather duster and 3D Snow to her petticoat.

Behind it all, I used a piece of embroidery fabric.

I think she has spread a little of her cleaning magic here for it sparkles so:)

That´s all from me today, have a great week!

Hugs, Birgit.
