I printed this adorable scene with the deer and snowman kissing noses. I'd be on the fence about the deer tough. We all saw how Sven tried to steal Olafs nose 😄 Anyway, here's my first Copic aurora sky. I think it's my first anyway. I struggled a bit, to be honest. I had colored the reds on the snowman and the reference photo (below) had a lot of purple in it. I didn't think that would work, so I instead used hot pinks. But that definitely didn't work. To try and salvage it I started going over with purples which I liked much better. I then darkened it further with purple. Also, I had just watched a coloring video from Elaine (Markergeek) and she used B90ies for her snow. I know right, that's dark. But since it's a night scene I figured I'd give it a go.  So, how did I do? Copics used: B95, B93, B91, B0000 E79, E77, E74 + YR23, Y11 G29, G17 (trees) G28, YG67 (bushes) W9, W7, W5 W9, R59, R85 E09, E08, YR18 (carrot) E37, E35, E34, E33, E31 + E27, E23 YG05...

Hey everyone! Have you started on your Christmas cards? Or maybe even finished?  I've only just started mine 🙈😂 Anyway, here's an old Make it Crafty digital stamp that I printed in a softer grey tone. Not 100% noline, but noline-ish. I actually really struggled with this when I started. I don't do much noline coloring, so I really need to think hard about it. After coloring in blues and pinks I thought about starting over, but decided to trust the process. And I'm glad I did. Once I colored skin and hair I suddenly was very happy with my coloring. So, trust the process, guys! I kept it simpel with just adding a sentiment (Stamping Bella Uptown Girl Katrina's Christmas kiss) and let's not talk about it being crooked 🙈 that's the downside of rubber stamps, right?! I considered stamping again and cutting it out to cover this, but I wanted the card to be one layer, so... 🤷‍♀️ Anyway, thanks for stopping by. And stay tuned for some exiting news!  Happy Christ...

My niece is turning 5 and she is slowly transitioning from wanting everything Unicorn to everything Mermaid.  So I came up with this cute scene with a Krista Leigh Smith Mermaid (Swim break) and a couple of My favorite things unicorns (Friendly unicorns) and some Sweet November stamps greens for added depth (Mermaid lagoon background builder). All copic colored.  I popped up the panel for a little dimension and added a double cut circle (MFT Pierced circle stax). Largest circle and 5 (Mama elephant) cut from some Tonic mirror card, Petal pink. Birthday girl from Concord and 9th Hooray. 

Hi! Missed me? I've been taking a looong break from IG and this blog. I've been sharing a tiny bit on my Facebook so I'll be uploading those to me blog.  This was a card I made for my beautiful daughter when summer started. Turns out summer wasn't much summer here in Denmark, but I had fun making this.  All stamps are from Three Scoops, as always colored with Copics.  Alpha die from Altenew (sentiment says "wishing you an amazing summer").  Stencil from Waffle Flower.   

  Hey everyone! Today I'm guest designing for the Alex Syberia Designs February release - **ADD For the blog hop today I've made a slimline card using techniques from 2 cardmakers that I admire. It's a one-layer card which obviously means I had to do some masking and I swear with every fuzzy cut mask I was thinking of all the reels and cards that Sylvie has made with masking, she is a QUEEN!! The torn edge rainbow is inspiration from Kati who does everything in rainbows and I love it all!  I used Abandaned coral, Squeezed lemonade, Tumbled glass and Shaded lilac Distress Oxide inks for the rainbow and then added some specks through the Speckled background stencil. The adorable bunnies are from the Spring Bunnies set. I used almost all of the bunnies because they're just so cute! The set doesn't include a banner, though. So I placed the stamp in my Misti and bend the edges upward, then cut a small mask to make the banner and colored in the lines with a fine line pe...

  Hey everyone! Here's a slimline card featuring another cute Krista leigh Smith digital stamp.

  Hey everyone! I've already shared this magical birthday card over on my IG account, but I feel like it deserves a spot hee too. Plus, I finally found my list of used markers 🙈😆 This slimline card went halfway around the globe for a 30th birthday for a very special someone, and she loved it! Hedwig, the owl, is attached with a wobble for a little fun. I stamped, but did not color, the envelope too.  All stamps are from Impronte D'autore.

  Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a custom made card and I may have gone a little overboard with it. So grab a cuppa, 'cause this is a long post. Initially I just got "graduation, champagne and glitter". But I remember how important graduation was, and I wanted to make it more special, so I asked for more and got "Netflix, coffee, make-up, no immediate plans for education, but partying for now". The most important thing of course is the graduation hat. Here in Denmark the hats are the same but the band changes color depending on which specific type of school you graduate from. This one is like mine and of a 3-year middle school somewhere in between hichscool and college. I wanted to incorporate everything and I started with a black and white base covered in books (Mama Elephant Bookworm). Student (graduate) cut from red glitter cardstock (My favorite things Little letters) to match the band on the graduate's hat (By Lene Studenterhue). I used the same red...

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 ...
