ProMarker Norge utfordring #19

Hallo folkens!

Regner med at dere har hatt ei travel uke. Da er det ekstra godt med ei frihelg! Så fint å kunne slappe av med litt kortlaging da!

Over hos ProMarker Norge er vi klar med ei ny utfordring. Som vanlig må du nok ta turen over for å finne ut hva utfordringen består i men det vil være verdt turen. Jentene har laget så utrolig mye lekkert!

Kortet mitt i dag er inspirert av Alyce fra Kit and Clowder. Hun lager så utrolig lekre kort med svertede kanter. Jeg har vært borte fra sverting en stund, så hun har inspirert meg til å begynne å sverte kantene igjen. Motivet er hentet fra Make it Crafty. Zoe var så snill at hun delte dette motivet med oss som en takk for at vi liker Make it Crafty. Motivet er virkelig nydelig!

Farger jeg har brukt:

Hud: Vanilla, Saffron, Oatmeal, Tan og Sunkissed pink til kinn 
Hår: Umber, Cocoa, Cinnamon, Tan
Kjole og vinger: Capri blue, Powder blue, Glacier blue (FM)
Andre: Fuchsia pink, Moss, Silver

Jeg synes det er så moro å lage disse flisene av leire. Her er enda en jeg har laget selv. Jeg har også pyntet chipboard biten. Jeg brukte først brun sverte. Deretter pyntet jeg med diamond stickles

Da er det bare å hive seg rundt lage noe til utfordringen vår hos ProMarker Norge. Gleder meg masse til å se hva dere får til. God helg alle sammen!

Utfordring #17 hos ProMarker Norge

Heisann folkens!

Da er det ny måned og ny utfordring hos ProMarker Norge. Så stikk innom og sjekk ut hva utfordringen er. Jeg kan bare si at denne gang er den kjempe enkel, så her er det ingen unnskyldning for ikke å delta, hehe.

Vi har en liten nyhet å komme med. Fra og med nå av er det 2 utfordringer i mnd´en
 og dermed blir det kortere tid pr oppgave!

I dag vil jeg vise dere et kort jeg har laget hvor jeg har brukt et gammelt motiv. Motivet heter Flower Top Fairy Daffodil og er fra Phindy`s Place. Dette er et tidligere DT jeg har vært på. Jeg hadde lyst til å bruke dette motivet fordi jeg synes hun er så utrolig søt. Og så får jeg en sånn vårlig følelse av det, hehe. Jeg har også laget den kamè`en på siden. Jeg hadde noen silikon former liggende som jeg ikke har fått prøvd før men jeg har endelig fått tak i hvit leire, så nå har jeg fått testet ut disse formene. Resultatet ble jeg kjempefornøyd med.

Farger:

Hud: Vanilla, Saffron, Oatmeal, Sunkissed pink, Tan

Hår: Chestnut, Burnt umber, Cocoa, Cinnamon

Kjole: Aubergine, Winter berry, Lilac, Lavender

Sko: Chestnut, Burnt umber

Vinger: Pink lavender (FM), Pale citrus (FM), Pink pearl (FM)

Mark: Cinnamon, Sandstone

Rundt kanten på die cut`n: Eggnog

Blomster er fra Kort og Godt, Prima og Wild Orchid Crafts. Miniglass pebbles`n har jeg laget selv. Perle/bling raden på bunn er fra Nille. Papirene er fra Vintage spring basics fra maja design. Ellers har jeg brukt perlerad og metallhjørne fra Live and Love Crafts. Blonder er også fra WOC og die-cut fra Spellbinders.

Shades of spring

Hi peeps!

Today when i was driving my little girl to the day care centre the sun was shining bright. And it was so great. This past week the weather has been completely impossible. I think there is someone up there that has real difficulties in deciding what kinda weather to make, lol. It has been pouring rain one minute and the next we had a raging snow blizard. Now i`m just looking forward to get rid of all the snow and welcome the spring.

I know at least one more on the team that want the spring to get a grip on things, lol. Our darling and very talented Mina has set the challenge for the digi team this time over at Crafts and Me. And....yes....she wants to see spring colours, lol.

For my card i have used Teresa`s new pack of digi papers called Floral Fantasy, available here. I think these papers are so gorgeous that it would be a shame to cover them completely, so i have done as little as i could with this one.

The image i have used is called Fairy Love and was one of the silhouettes released last month. It is available right here.

The sentiment is a freebie i grabbed over at Shirley Swope. She has several of these gorgeous small sentiments. This one is to be found here.

Just a closeup of the paper to show you the gorgeous detail.

I hope you all are in a spring mood and want to come and join our challenge over at Crafts and Me challenges. We would love to have you. Looking forward to see what you come up with. Have a great day!

Flourishes/swirls EFG challenge #15

Hiah Friends of The Emerald Faerie Garden!

Are you ready for the last EFG challenge for the year? You have lots of time to play as we are keeping this one open to jan 15th.

If you are somewhat like me, i think you are very busy at the mo. I tend to postpone most things to the very last minute, lol. A bad habit, i know, lol. I say to myself every year that i have to finish the shopping for gifts early in november, but hey...do i follow my own instructions? Nooooo, lol.

Well, over to my card. I struggeled a bit with this one. I had no idea what so ever of what i should make for this challenge. I scoped several blogs for inspiration and i looked through my collection of sketches to see if any of them triggered my creativity...but no. So i just had to make it up as i sat there. It took some time but at least i finished it, lol. I`m not so sure i pulled it off but i couldn`t have made it any better given the troubles i had to begin with, lol. At least i hope you like it, lol.

The image i have used is called "Ebony" and is available here and she is coloured with Promarkers.

The colours i have used are:

Skin:

Vanilla, Saffron, Oatmeal, Tan

Clothes:

Shale, Burgundy, Berry red. Olive green, Marsh green. Pear green, Moss

Other colours:

Caramel, Putty, Satin, Lush green, Bright green, Lime, Lime Zest, Cocoa, Pastel yellow

Other supplies:

*Prima bling swirl, *assorted papers from Marianne Design and one other i don`t remember, lol. That`s the senility popping out again, lol. *Martha Stewart edge punch and pine leaf punch. *Marianne D Maroccan birdcage creatable and craftable oval. I also used a red lace some *stickles diamond, some *liquid pearls and a cut of rose from a *BoBunny rosetrim.

So now i hope that despite a busy holiday season you still can manage to join us over at The Emerald Faerie Garden. Just remember that you have a whole month to play. Have a great weekend you all!
