This is my take on the Magnolia down under challenge.

my cute chef

This is my take on the sketch from Papertake Weekly. He is such a darling the little chef, but I find him a bit tricky to colour since in my prejudiced world chefs wear white and white is a bummer when colouring. Orange usually isn't my colour but I got the flowers in a goodie bag at the scrap event (I'm the very blond person sitting in the left corner, back to camera - of course) so I sort of built the card around them :).

distressed to my elbows

I've made a card today using my distress ink pads to such an extent that me and the table and the chair and the cat are now glowing with tattered rose and frayed burlap :). I was a bit hesitant about the blue flowers but they're glued now... Everything is sprayed with antique mist - including me and the cat - and I just adore the Maja Design papers that are the foundation. It fits both the Pink Elephant challenge (circles and scallops) and the sketch for Sukkersött this week, yes I'm very organized :)

Oh, and this is the first time I've actually coloured a stamped image with distress inks. Well, not exactly the first time but when I tried it ages ago - before the tombow era - it was messy and icky and runny and horrid. But I kind of managed this time, yey me :).


Yes I know, I only had the energy to decorate one of the insides, I'm totally ashamed and will remedy that if the card gets a receiver.

Creative

This card, finished at the scrap event, is for the sketch at Creative Card Crew this week.

Just Magnolia

This card, finished at the scrap event, is for the sketch at Just Magnolia this week.

Stamp something

Back now from the scrap event this weekend - it was fantastic! And I finished quite a few blog challenges. I will give them a post each to make things easier (not for me but... well you know what I mean). First out is Something for mum at Stamp something combined with this weeks challenge at the Secret Crafter where the theme is flowers - how easy can it be ;).

Carol's sketch

Carol made a great sketch over at the Pink elephant for the challenge this week. I adore sketches that are not overloaded with shapes and figures and Carol's is perfect. I thought about combining it with the Spot the Dot challenge at Magnolia down under this week but today I don't fancy the Magnolia stamps - I probably will tomorrow :) so I skipped the dots and went for a combination of pink and red instead (it's THE thing in fashion right now my daughter keeps reminding me so it has to be right)

Only one day left at work now, then it's Walpurgis holiday which is sweet in itself. AND Saturday-Sunday I'll be on the first large scrap event in Umea, yey!

CC 3

Finished a card before going to work this morning - having my first class after lunch on Mondays is a blessing :)
This card is in yellow and turquoise so it fits the challenge at Colour challenge. It's a cute colour combo, not one I would have come up with myself... challenges are great!
