Happy new year, you guys!! Today we're kicking off the first challenge of the year over at AAA Birthday blog and the first theme of the year is..... 2 favorite colors. Also, we're having a micro hop with our sister challenge blog AAA Cards between the 9th and 22nd January, so don't forget to check out the details . So the slimline format might be surprising to you, but the colors wont be. Right? I mean, pink and purple - everyone knows they're my favorite.  The girl is a digital stamp from Krista Leigh Smith and I just love the her expression. When I saw the image I felt like she was shaking her head in disbelief. I knew that I wanted to pair her with those sentiments - What the what now?! You're THAT old?! No WAY?! 😆 I colored her with Copics some time during the fall and fuzzy cut the image. Copics used: Skin: E13, E11, E21, E00 + R32 Lips: RV09, RV04 Make-up: RV95, RV11 Blouse: RV69, RV66, RV55, RV52 Hair: E59, E25, E33 Pants: W3, W3, W1, W0 The background was ...

  Hello everyone! Today we're kicking off our October challenge at AAA Birthday challenge blog and this months theme is - Slimline card. We're even so lucky to have Alex Syberia Design as our sponsor this month, and YOU could win a $10 gift card to store. So hop on over and join the fun! Alex also generously offered each of the DT members a stamp, but since I'm a proud DT member of Alex's I had a few to choose from 😍 I chose to use Autumn Bouquet as there's no denying it's now officially fall and because it's one of my favorite stamps from Alex. As always I colored with my Copic markers. I ink blended the background over Pinkfresh Studio Diamond plaid stencil using Spiced marmelade, Candied apple and Ground espresso. I actually have the regular stencil (not the slimline) so I had to move the stencil, but it worked out just fine. I popped up the fuzzy cut pumpkin image for a bit of dimension and added the My favorite things Birthday wishes sentiment die cut...

  If you're making your way here during the weekend I wish you a Happy Easter!  So a few days ago I sat down and used most of my gel press backgrounds from a few weeks ago. I paired them with lots of images that were already colored. I guess you can say I cleaned out 😆 Here's a couple more. I continued using the Pinkfresh Folk Hummingbird flower, because leaving the background all white is just too cas for me and the stamp was already out. Then I added the diagonally cut gel press paper and stamped a sentiment. The sentiment as well as these cute critters are from My favorite things Birthday Buds. Since this little cutie party piglet doesn't have wings I turned the card base to stamp the flower at the top in stead. Again these flat enamel dots are actually Nuvo drops. As you can probably see they can get a bit rough on the edges, but I'm OK with that. For the last card I used a couple more images and opted to not stamp the flower. In stead I added a few fluffy, pink cl...

Happy Easter everyone! I myself have not made it to Easter cards yet this year (and I doubt I will). So a few days ago I sat down and used most of my gel press backgrounds from a few weeks ago. I paired them with lots of images that were already colored. I guess you can say I cleaned out 😆 Here's a few of them. The cards will go to Operation skriv hjem - for deployed Danish troops to send to their loved ones.  First I stamped the flower and sentiment from Pink Fresh Studio Folk Hummingbird. Then I added a diagonally cut piece of gel press panel and added the encircled ponies. They are free digital stamps from YamPuff.  Finally I added a couple of Nuvo drops and for the first time ever using these I felt they were successful. I slapped the card down onto my table a couple of times and by accident some flattened. I then did this for all of them because 1) they look more like enamel dots, which I like and 2) I don't have to worry about the humpty domes getting flat when I stack ...

Hello! The Pinkfresh Studio Folk hummingbird arrived a short while ago and I haven't had the time to play with it. I changed that today.   I started by ink blending a panel with Lucky clover, Mermaid lagoon, Wilted violet and Blueprint sketch oxide inks. I dried the panel with my WOW! heat tool on setting 1, to ensure the embossing powder wouldn't stick everywhere. I then placed it in my Misti and placed the stamps so the colors were spread across the images. I stamped with WOW! embossing ink and embossed with WOW! Metallic platinum embossing powder.  For the background I inked up 3 sides of the Simon says stamp Leafy frame stencil with Cracked pistacio oxide ink. I then spritzed on a tiny bit of water and placed it on a panel of light grey cardstock. I made sure to press them together and I still had to do it twice in some places. I flipped the stencil over and inked up the last side and repeated for the last side of the panel. And as you ...

Hi all,  I needed a Father's day card for my Dad and I was just lost for ideas. So I went for a very simple card, or so I thought because the layout still had me thinking way too much. But I like the result. I started by inkblending a panel with Oxide inks in Twisted citron, Peacock feathers and Blueprint sketch. From black cardstock I die cut the Pinkfresh Studio Geo Floral cover die and placed it over the inkblended panel. Also from black cardstock I die the second smallest My favorite things linked chain circle die. I left in all the pieces bakced it with crafting foam. I embossed the sentiment with WOW! Totally teal embossing glitter. The big block letters are MFT and the sentiment simply means: Dad, you're super! Although it's a masculine card it felt a little bare, so I added a couple of Lucy Abrams sequins from the Snowfall mix. They have a very light tint of icy blue which was just right for this card. The card is entered into S...
