New Challenge at TIME OUT!

Hi friends!

We have a new challenge for you at TIME OUT, click here for a direct link to the challenge post!

We are inspired by this beautiful photo:

 There's many options where to go from here: black and white color palette, silhouettes, script/typing, travel theme... Countless ideas come to mind, right! 

Our guest designer this time is Cornelia and I just love the card she made. The regular TO members have fab inspiration for you too, don't forget to check out their cards!

In my card I used a My Favorite Things stamp set that I "absolutely had to get" and then I have very hard time using it... I've only made one card wit this set before, that one I hated, this one I like a bit better but I still think it's somehow a tricky set to use!

I stamped the solid bg:s for flowers with black ink and heat embossed the outlines with white powder. It looked nice but very "hard" somehow so I covered the entire piece with vellum for a softer look. I heat embossed the sentiment on vellum. Hope you like and see you at TIME OUT Challenges!

Hi friends!

We have a new challenge for you at TIME OUT Challenges:

Birthdays with the Optional Technique Twist of Sponging

The challenge is sponsored by Uniko Studios: if you choose to twist and use sponging in your project, you could win a 15 pounds voucher to Uniko store. Great prize, right!

In my card I've used die cut flowers by My Favorite Things (colored with Copics), a die cut Stamping Up leaf (also colored with Copics + coated with Wink of Stella) on a die cut tag. The sentiment (this stamp company does unfortunately not exist anymore) is heat embossed with white powder on vellum. I've also stamped the background strip with a woodgrain bg stamp. My New Year's resolution is to start seriously playing with my bg stamps, I use them way too little! I quite like the navy blue-purple color palette I chose for this card. No sponging though so my card is without the twist! 

Do head on over to  TIME OUT Challenges blog for more DT inspiration. Our guest designer this time is the very inspiring and talented Rema. Play along and you could end up guest designing for us too! Happy crafting! 

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Happy New Year friends!

We have the first challenge of 2016 for you at Inkspirational. It's a real fun one: "Thank You with Something New". I chose a sentiment by STAMPlorations and flower stamps and dies by My Favorite Things -that set is new to me. The set was released early last fall but I've never used these stamps before this time.  I've colored the images with Copics and added Wink of Stella and Stickles for shine and glitter. A lot of pretty sparkle in this card. :) Just a couple of sequins to finish off the card. 

Our guest designer this time is Maaike. She has a very cute and fun CAS style, do not miss her blog! There's lots of DT inspiration for you in the challenge blog, enjoy!

Thanks for popping by and I hope to see you playing along at Inkspirational.

I'd like to enter Mod Squad Challenge: One Die Cut. I hope this card is fine because the die is used twice! Please remove my card from the linky if it won't work.

I Dig You!

Hi friends! 

You haven't seen any posts from me for a while... I recently moved house and things have just in general been a bit crazy. Anyway, now I thought I'd post this card I made already a while ago with the  super cute MFT stamps. I made it for a special guy in my life (he loves to gather mushrooms and makes yummy food out of them too!) so this seemed like a good stamp choice for his card. I was very happy that he did like it too. :) I've done my coloring with Copics and added some white gel pen for detailing. There's a strip of woodgrain paper on the left edge of the card and the gnome panel is popped up with fun foam. No embellies... It did go to a man! :) Hope you like. Have a fun week! 

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi guys!

We have a new challenge for you at Inkspirational. This time I've got the honor to choose the theme of the challenge and I've chosen One Layer Cards. I hope you'll enjoy the challenge this fortnight!

In my card I've used new stamps by My Favorite Things. I've inked the solid stamp with two shades of Memento and stamped the outline stamp on top with black ink. There's also white gel pen in the flowers. Not my best masking, inking and stamping, but I do like the idea!

Now I hope you'll visit Inkspirational and have a look at the projects my DT friends have created for your inspiration. Our guest designer this time is Ellie. I hope you'll pop by her blog too and leave some love! Have a fun weekend!
