Mixed media card with Lindy`s Stampgang Sprays

Hi everyone!

This weekend i have enjoyed the company of allmost 80 crafty chicks at Trøndersaksa in Trondheim, Norway. We had a totally exciting and amazing time together. Such a talented and amazing bunch of girls. We laughed, talked and not to mention.... crafted long into the small hours. I just really didn`t wanted it to end so soon. Thanks girls, for a fabulous time. See you again next year!!!

Allthough we had a lot of fun, we also had to do what we ultimately were there for....crafting! At this point i only have edited the photo`s of this card i`m going to show you. I had started it a couple of weeks before the convention but i have been so stuck. But as stubborn as i am, i hadn`t given it up yet. And finally i got my craft juices flowing, lol. 

Lately i`ve been playing around with some mixed media. I`m so in love with the sprays from Lindy`s Stamp Gang. The colours i have used here is the August limited edition spray set. Such vibrant an lush colours. Don`t know if you can see it, but the shimmer on the red and lilac colours are just amazing! And i love how this turned out. 

I used some Heavy Gesso from Prima, creating some texture using the Tim Holtz flourish and the "Art is" stencil from Crafters Workshop. Next i stamped with the Grunge Harlequin stamp from Visible Image.

The frame is embossed with powders from Lindy`s. Loved how the green shimmer appeared. 

Other products i have used are chipboard from Dusty Attic, metal from Korthobby here in Norway, Bling from Prima, Bo Bunny and Marianne design. The centre piece is made by myself. I was inspired by Gabrielle Pollacco on the heart and wings. These are made from the Martha Stewart paper clay. 

I have also used flowers i recieved in a kit i bought long ago, so i don`t know the manufacturer. But the wood piece is Prima. 

As a final touch i finished it all off with some glass pearls and micro pearls from Prima. 

I hope you liked my card. And if you have any questions just feel free to ask me. I will help in any way i can.

Make it girlie

Hey peeps!

I`m back again with a new post. My second one today, lol. It`s been a long time since i actually made two posts in one day, lol. Maybe i`m getting old, lol? In that case...what more perfect theme than making it girlie is there, lol.

Over at Marianne`s Design Divas we want to see anything girlie. I have taking it way back. All the way to the newborn period.

Marianne Design products used:

Vintage Lace Valencienne JU0864

Rosetrim FR1125

Pretty paperblock Beautiful Butterflies

Pretty Paper Bloc -  Eline's Hello Sweet Baby

Passe-partout Rectangle CR1242

The image is called Bambino and is from Sugar Nellie. It is available here at Funky Kits. I just love these incredibly detailed and beautiful images. This one is just totally adorable as well.

You know these tiles that Prima makes? Well i have tried to make some of these myself. Here you see a round version of it. I have used white clay and rolled into a flat cake. Then i kut the tiles in the desired size and baked them in the oven so it would harden. The great thing about this clay i have used is that even though it gets hard, it is also a bit flexible so you are able to bend it a bit without  breaking it. That way i just glued the image on top of it and then used my scissors to cut it into this round shape. After a bit of sanding and a coat of clossy accent on top this is the final result. And i LOOOVE it. The image is from Tattered Vintage.

The little bear is a little something from my stash. Don`t remember where i got it from. Well...There was the senility again, lol.

The sentiment is a cutout from the Little Darlings collection by Graphic 45.

Phew... oh...are you still there? So you actually bothered to stay till the end, lol? Then you might be interested in knowing what the prizes over at Marianne`s Design Divas are as well?

God morgen folkens!

Da er dagen kommet da bidragene til det nye DT blir publisert i ProMarker Norge bloggen. Jeg skal ikke røpe hva utfordringen er. Men kanskje du klarer å gjette hva det kan være?
