Easter card

Made this Easter card using the new paper series Fairytale about Spring by Pion Design. I've entered the Easter competition at Scrapbooking4you.

DCD - Mother's Day or Special Friend

The theme at Die Cut Dreams this fortnight is Mother's Day or Special Friend and since Mother's Day in Sweden is celebrated another date than in the UK I chose to do a card for a Special Friend.

The backing paper is stamped and distressed with Victorian Velvet and Spun Sugar and the Magnolia image is coloured with Aged Mahogany.

Allsorts - luck of the Irish

This week at Allsorts the theme is Luck of the Irish with St Patrick's Day in mind - another one of those events that we don't celebrate here in Sweden =). But that doesn't stop me from making a card =). I have used a leprechaun bear image from Rick st Dennis, coloured with distress inks Antique Linen, Vintage Photo and Peeled Paint.

Other challenges:

Stamp something - something cream and green

Kaboodle doodle - go green

Shabby Tea room - luck of the Irish

Really reasonable ribbon - green

WoyWW

Morning,
my workdesk this morning had this nearly finished card that I left to dry yesterday evening. Since we're on sports holiday this week I thought I would get lots of time to craft but that hasn't been the case but at least the house is cleaner than usual. I can't have it all, now can I? =)


Anyhow, the finished card is for Just Magnolia's challenge Anything goes with extra option of glitter. The sentiment is computer generated, downloadable here.

Clippings for Rick st Dennis

It is finally live on Rick's site now so here it is - my first DT assignment for Rick st Dennis:

I got these adorable flowers with elvish faces to make something spring-like. I started with a plain white flower pot


And with the help of some distressed designer paper, lace and pearls turned it into this:


I also made some flower sticks to make the young plants look a bit more colourful where they are, waiting to be planted in the garden a long, long time from now =)

Allsorts - card for a teenager

This week at Allsorts the theme is Birthday card for a teenager. I decided to go all in and challenge myself with a card for a teenage boy =).

I used this Greeting farm image but swapped the head cause I didn't like the hair on the original image. Turned out rather cool =).

SFTW - spring time

Morning,
it's time for another fortnightly challenge at Stampin for the Weekend and the theme is Spring time. I liked the bag I did a while back and I adore the papers from Pion Design (Fairytale of Spring) so I decided to make another one, this time using a baby Hanglar image. Coloured with distress ink Antique Linen and Dusty Concord.

Penny Black @ Allsorts - Welcome spring

The theme for March at Penny Black @ Allsorts is Welcome spring and I am guest designer this month. As usual there are magnificent prizes to be won so hurry over and check out the challenge and all the great inspiration provided by the talented design team.

I used this gorgeous image given to me by a dear blog friend, coloured it with distress inks and went for an orange colour combo. Not my first choice of colours but it's warm and spring-like and it worked out really well =).
