Allsorts - autumn glory

This week at Allsorts the theme is Autumn Glory.
I used brown and gold since they are such autumn colours to me. Used a bingo board as focal point and lots of flowers.

Allsorts - water or the colour blue

This week at Allsorts I'm hosting the challenge and I want you to think water or the colour blue. 
I went for the colour blue and made a birthday card for the loveliest little boy in the world :)

Allsorts - bears

This week at Allsorts the theme is bears. I distressed a background with black and red and die cut the letters congratulations in Swedish. To get a shimmer I sprayed the whole card with homemade shimmer mist and unfortunately I took the photo before the mist had dried so the whole card looks a bit wonky. Ah well :)


There's an adorable stamp from Penny Black up for grabs over at the challenge blog.

GDT at Penny Black and More

This month I am guest designer at Penny Black and More, our sister challenge. The theme is make it feminine and I figured that a red rose is very feminine. It's from the stamp set Enjoy and stamping in different colours is so easy when using a stamping tool. tutorial how to make your own.

This is such a lovely stamp, just a simple sentiment and you're done.

Allsorts - things with wings

This week the theme is Things with wings at Allsorts. I used a butterfly stamp on a background paper I had painted with shiny acrylic paint. Just a bow to finish it off.

We have these lovely stamps up for grabs:

Allsorts - from boys to men

It is time for a new challenge at Allsorts and the theme is From boys to men. I used stamps from Tim Holtz and die cut the numbers for a birthday card. Clean and simple but quite effectful since the stamps definitely can stand on their own. I must say that my Pine Needles distress ink isn't frequently used but it was perfect for the bottle. The beer was trickier but I mixed Scattered Straw and Spiced Marmalade to get an ok result.

This is the last two week-challenge for the summer, next time - the 25th - we're back to weekly challenges again.

We are sponsored by Marianne Design and have these lovely dies for a lucky winner.
