Utfordring #24 hos ProMarker Norge

Heisann folkens!

Håper dere har hatt en strålende helg så langt. Det har i allefall jeg, hehe. Feira bursdagen til bestevenninna mi og hadde det skikkelig kos med gjengen. Tida har gått utrolig fort og nå er vi faktisk kommet til desember og første søndag i advent. Klarer nesten ikke å henge med i svingene, hehe. Jeg synes dette er en så utrolig koselig måned og gleder meg til tida framover.

Men nå er det over til denne månedens utfordring hos ProMarker Norge. Som vanlig må du hoppe over til PMN for å finne ut hva utfordringen går ut på. Denne gang er det Kristine som har valgt tema.  Vi gleder oss til å se hva dere lager. Velkommen over!


Jeg er omsider over i julekort modus. Lysten til å lage julekort har til nå ikke vært den aller største men nå begynner det å løsne litt. Desember er jo i seg selv en koselig måned så inspirasjonen bør nok øke i tida framover. Motivet jeg har brukt på dette kortet kommer fra Saturated Canary. Det er vel egentlig et gammelt motiv men jeg synes det er så søtt at jeg måtte bare bruke det likevel.


Fargene jeg har brukt er:

Hud: Vanilla, Saffron, Oatmeal, Sunkissed pink, Tan
Hår: Cocoa, Mustard, Buttercup, Saffron
Øyne: Midnight blue, Arctic blue
Kjole/sko/sløyfer: Shale, Burgundy, Berry red, Lipstick red
Sokker og detaljer på kjole: Shale, Winterberry, Icicle
Gave: Berry red, Lipstick red, Black, Cool grey #4 og 5, Midnight blue, Cadet blue (FM), Icicle
Skygger: Ice grey #1,3 og 4, Blender


Snøkrystallene er fra Dusty Attic. Jeg har malt dem med hvit akrylmaling og deretter hatt på diamond dust.


Produkter jeg har brukt er:

Bånd, blomst og perlespenne (deler fra et kit) fra Scrap That
ProMarkers og FlexMarkers

Da håper jeg å se så mange av dere som mulig over hos ProMarker Norge. Utfordringen er kjempefin og enkel.Lykke til!

Skin: Vanilla, Saffron, Oatmeal, Sunkissed pink, Tan
Hair: Umber, Rosewood (FM), Terracotta, Honeycomb

Monochromatic at WhoopsiDaisy

Hi everyone!

Today i want to show you a creation i made using one of the newest Halloween digis by Linnie at WhoopsiDaisy. You can find it on sheet #494. It took forever to colour. I believe i spent a little over 5 hours to colour it, lol. The only thing i`m not satisfied with is that my camera made the white stripes to appear stronger than in real life. And i think they are a bit overwhelming. Oh well...when i can`t make use of a decent daylight it sometimes end up like this i`m sorry to say.


The papers i have used are digipapers from Bearly Mine Designs. The spiderweb is fuzzycut from one of the digipapers.


Colours used:

Skin: Vanilla, Saffron, Oatmeal, Sunkissed pink, Tan
Hair: Black
Dress/hat: Black, Shale, Burgundy, Berry red, White Sakura gelly roll pen.
Other colours: Cool grey #5 and 4, Walnut, Terracotta, Spice, Sandstone, Pineapple crush, Buttercup


I didn`t have any black flowers so i used my ProMarker to colour most of it. I also had to use my Black soot distress reinker course i didn`t manage to colour all in the center of it. I just put some drops of ink in the middle and elsewhere where i couldn`t use my marker.


I also had this metal rose with the gorgeous red eye in the middle i just had to put it on the card.

So now it`s your turn to go and create something monochromatic. I`m looking forward to come visit you and see what you create. Happy crafting everyone!

ProMarker Norge fyller 2 år!

Heisann!

Beklager så mye at denne posten kom i bakleksa. Har hatt hodet fullt av andre ting i det siste og dette gikk rett og slett i glemmeboka. Uansett, det er kommet en ny utfording ut hos ProMarker Norge og dere må gjerne hoppe over dit for å finne ut hva det kan være.

Samtidig feirer vi 2års dagen vår!!!! Yeeeay!!!! Hipp Hurra for ProMarker Norge! Jeghar ikke vært med på teamet like lenge men det har vært en fabelaktig reise så langt. Et flott team med utrolig talentfulle damer og jeg er så stolt over å få lov til å være med på moroa.

Til denne utfordringen har jeg laget et sett med gavepose og en tag. Begge har jeg brukt motiv fra Mo Manning på. Motivet heter Winter Fairy Halla og det er mulig å få kjøpt her.


Hehe, jeg ble litt overivrig med bildetakingen men det får bare være.
Farger som er brukt:
Hud: Vanilla, Saffron, Oatmeal, Sunkissed pink, Tan
Hår: Ice grey #2 og 4, Icicle, Hvit Sakura gelly roll pen
Klær: Slate, Winterberry, Iced pearl, Ice grey #2 og 4, Icicle
Vinger: Iced pearl, Pink mittens, Icicle, diamond stickles


Posen er ikke så veldig stor men kan fylles med hva enn man måtte ønske. Ser for meg litt twist eller litt annet småsnop.


Her er den medfølgende tag`en hvor man kan skrive en liten hilsen på baksiden. I min iver glemte jeg selvfølgelig å ta bilde av baksiden, hehe.


Jeg hadde ingen hvite stjerner tilgjengelig så jeg tok noen sølvstjerner og malte dem med hvit gesso og så hadde jeg på diamond dust og diamond stickles. Ble litt vanskelig å få et ordentlig bilde av det. Det ble for mye refleksjon fra blitzen.


Dies er fra Marianne Design og Memory Box. Post card stemplet er fra Marianne Design`s Vintage collection.


Håper dere har funnet litt inspirasjon her hos meg. Takk for besøket. Hopp over til ProMarker Norge å finn ut hva utfordringen er og gjerne bli med på moroa.

Challenge #5 at My Besties Norway

Hey everyone!

It`s been a while since i`ve posted anything in here and i`m really sorry about that. My life has been cramped up with a lot lately and the crafting has taken a tour into oblivion for a while. I hope you can forgive me :-)

Well anyway...here i am back with my contribution for My Besties DT. I think this image is just so adorable and it is one of the new Halloween digis by Sherry Baldy. The image i have used is called IMG 043 With Kitty

I allmost mucked up my image when i was doing my card yesterday. I was going to use some black cheesecloth behind the image just to make my card a little bit spookier. The only thing is that i didn`t have any of it in black so i had to colour it myself. I found my little bottle of Black Soot distress ink and started colouring the darn thing, lol. When dried i was going to put it on my card. But as i was handling it i noticed that it still left some ink here and there. You can imagine my panic when i noticed i had some inked fingermarks on my image... Eeeek...panic!!! I was allready late with my card and i didn`t have the time to colour up my image again. Thank God that the marks only were on the sides of the image and that i could cover them with some flowers. Otherwise my hubby would have had a really bad saturday evening with a grumpy whife in the same room, hahahaha.

Oh well let get down to buisness shall we? The theme for this fortnight is.... Yeah you guessed right:

HALLOWEEN
 

The papers are digital. The purple one is a past freebie from Bearly Mine Designs and the green one in the back is from Crafts and Me.

I used a LOT of colours for this one and here is the list:

Skin: Vanilla, Saffron, Oatmeal, Sunkissed pink, Tan
Eyes: Shale, Burgundy, Poppy, Lipstick red
Hair: Black, Sugar Plum
Lips: Sugar plum, Burgundy, Berry red
Dress/hat: Black Sugar plum, Violet, Burnt orange, Spice, Pumpkin, Gold, Sunflower
Trousers: Pear green, Lime green
Shoes: Gold, Sunflower
Cauldron: Cool grey #3,4,5, Lime green, Lime Zest, Pear green, Green lime, Lime twist (dots),  Soft lime, Bright green (dots), Burnt orange, Spice, Black, Sugar plum, Violet
Broomstick: Chestnut, Terracotta, Honeycomb, Eggnog, Pineapple crush, Sandstone, Black, Sugar plum, Violet

Vintage/Shabby chic over at WhoopsiDaisy

Hey peeps!

Today the new challenge has gone live over at WhoopsiDaisy  . The theme for this time is 

Vintage / Shabby chic

I went for shabby chic for my creation this time. The image is from Sheet #451.
This theme is one of my favs. I just love anything vintage and shabby looking stuff.


Papers i have used are from Maja Design, (Vintage spring basics). Dies are from Spellbinders, Magnolia and Marianne Design. I have painted the edges with white gesso blended with a little sand to get some extra texture. I have also used Frantage Embossing enamel (Shabby pink) on the edges of the image.

Colours i have used:

Skin: Vanilla, Saffron, Oatmeal, Sunkissed pink, Tan
Hair: Cocoa, Mustard, Buttercup, Saffron
Dress: Trick or Treat, Dusky rose, Pink mittens



This cluster of flowers are from several companies. Mulberry Crafts, Wild Orchid Crafts and Bi-kuben. The lace is also from WOC.


I also made a mini pebble. Ok i didn`t actually make the glass pebble, lol. But i cut out a little rose and glued it on to the back of the glass pebble to make my own finished one. I think it came out quite nice and perfect for this card.

Ok...that`s it from me today. We would very much like you to come over to WhoopsiDaisy and join in our new challenge. Hope to see you there! 
Happy Crafting everyone!
