Cards R Fun

lördag 22 juni 2013

Hello friends!

I´m back today with a quick post, where I show a card that I made with the sweet Flower Fairies from Whimsy Stamps.

I really enjoyed getting my Copics out for coloring this image.

I used papers from Bildmålarna, and some other stuff from my stash.

Thanks so much for visiting. I hope you are enjoying a nice midsummer weekend, with lots of good food along with family and friends!

Hugs, Birgit

Hi, blog friends!

I got so inspired when I saw that En Liten Butik was looking for a guest inspirer and that one would associate freely about Blue Blue Winds and Water.

I just couldn´t resist dipping into my stock to play around.

I found this great sailing ship on The Graphics Fairy, and a great sketch over at Sketchy Colors to play with.

I cut the image out with one Nellie Snellen die, and the sentiment from Stamping Scrapping was cut with one Shapeabilities Fancy Tags die.

I used papers from Prima Marketing The Meadow Lark collection, and from Maja Design Vintage Summer Basics.

I made an anchor of chipboard, painted in rust red and then covered with a bit of Gesso.

Almost done, after adding flowers, but something was missing. It looked a bit empty on the sides so I die cuted out a couple Latchette Borders from Memory Box and finished of with.

Wishing you a great day with pleasant summer sunshine!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit

Hi there!

Here is a card that I have lifted from Anita´s blog,

for this mounths challenge over at Ett Trykk.

And in case you´re wondering about the unusual color combination...well,

I wanted to try this weeks Stampin Royalty color challenge...it was hard, I can tell you.

I found and used up some old paper, then I added sweet lace and blue lace apliques roses.

I stamped the sentiment from K-designs and then clear heat embossed it.

Okay...that´s it for my pretty simple card today.

I also enter it into the Sister Act Card challenge - Anything Goes.

Have a fun and crafty week!

Hugs, Birgit

Hi friends!

Today I am very happy because I now have 100 followers of my blog!
What makes me extra happy is that all 100 followers have been that without a single giveaway, candy or something like that.
I hope and believe that all of my followers have become one because they like what I do:)

In the comments to my post on June 11, there were requests for how to make such a wedding dress card.
So here comes a link to Ziros blog where you also find a template for the card.

For today, I have made a Birthday tag.

I started by coloring it with Dylusions sprays. Then I covered it with a stencil and smeared over with pearlescent Paper Pen. Sorry you can not see the shimmer on the photos. I also used a white pen.

I cut out a vintage image of a bird from a Prima Marketing paper - Divine Collection.
I placed it in a wreath/nest, made with a Tim Holtz Alterations Regal Crest die, in coordinations paper that I then sanded.
I used a stamp, and a film strip die from Whimsy Stamps for the sentiment.
The clock face was made in antique gold wax from 7gypsies.
I used Distress inks to color the seam binding, and at the bottom I adhered a couple of ribbons/lace.
That´s about it for today. Have a great weekend!
Hugs, Birgit
