Kit and Clowder Christmas card swap

Happy New Year everyone!

 I just want to tell you about this amazing lady....Alyce from Kit and Clowder. She is leading this facebook-group of the most amazing girls. It is so great to be a part of this community.  There is allways some backing up no matter what you struggle with and they allways cheer on you if you have great things going on. 

She is also doing online colouring classes. And i just have to say they really makes a difference in your colouring technique. If you want to check it out you can find it here. 

It`s not only colouring we do. There is bingo weekend every first weekend of the month, there are challenges, there is a book club for those who want to join in. And lots more. Among one of the things we do is swapping stuff, lol. And the card below is the one i entered in this last years Christmas card swap. 

I had to restart colouring 3-4 times as i managed to muck things up. I guess you can understand the relief i felt when i finally finished the image without any huge flaws, lol. It`s been a while since i coloured and my confidence is not on top i`m afraid. Anyway...here it is.

This card was sent to Chris Neal across the big pond to USA. I hope she liked it.

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:

Spellbinders Floral Ovals

Vintage spring basic papir fra Maja Design

Metall hjørner fra Live and Love Crafts

Diamond Dust

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!

Traditional Christmas cards at WhoopsiDaisy

Hi everyone!

Today we are giving you a new challenge at WhoopsiDaisy. We want to see cards with traditional Christmas colours. 

For my card i have created an easel card using the Anja`s large ovals from Marianne Design. I had some real fun using an other shape than the ordinary oval or square.The only downside i thought it was a bit difficult to embellish but i finally made it.

I used pom pom ribbon to create snow from the roof. The Church is also a Marianne D die cut. I have used an image from sheet # 284. The image is coloured with ProMarkers.

Isn`t she a cutie? I hope you will come and join our challenge over at WhoopsiDaisy. Looking forward to see all your wonderful creations.
