Confirmation cards

Hi everyone!

I have some confirmation cards i would like to show you. the first two are commisioned ones and the last one i did for my niece`s confirmation.

This first card for a boy, is quite simply made. I have used some decorative papers from Kort & Godt. I just cut out the picture to use as vocalpoint, layered it and added a text stamp and a couple of gems. And voila....finished. The same papers are used on the inside.

This next one is more of a shabby vintage one in white and cream. I`ve used some gorgeous with lace trim. Also added a gorgeous star half circle die and mounted it around and behind the image. Put on a die cut on top and embellished the card with flowers, a wood heart and a pearl pin and a charm. Behind the image you can also see some cheesecloth.

This last one is the one i created for my youngest niece. She was the last one to get confirmed. The image is by Jeremiah Ketner and is available here. She is coloured with ProMarkers.

The clay elements are homemade, using silicone molds. 

Well...i allmost can`t believe it. 4 posts so far this month. Where is it going to end, lol?

It`s good to have the mojo back. Hope to see you back soon.

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.

Hi peeps!

Finally i`m back in the crafting saddle again. After a month and a half long partial break. I promised to tell you what i`ve been up to, lol. Well...i have been training to become a busdriver. I`m not finished though, but if everything goes according to plan i will have my busdrivers licence by the middle of november. I am so excited, lol.

Well...onto my card this week. Over at Crafts and Me the dynamite digi girls are having a new challenge and it is our lovely Rose that has set the theme. She want you to use somekind of a sentiment on your creation.

The image i have used is called Easter lily and it is designed by Hannah Lynn. It is available right here.  I think she is a total beauty.

I have to apologize for the bad pictures. I didn`t manage to make use of the daylight yesterday and had to use the flash on my camera. The colours gets completely off and since the card is so light the colours just flashes back at me when i take the pic.

Papers are from Bearly Mine Designs. The die cut is from Memory box. Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Image is coloured with ProMarkers.

Autumn hues at Kenny K`s Krafty Krew

Hey peeps!

You may have noticed i`ve not been around too much lately. I will tell you the reason when time comes. I just hope you all won`t leave me all together, lol. The only team i`ve been active on recently is Kenny K`s Krafty Krew. And today we are back with a new challenge for you.

The theme for this week is 

AUTUMN HUES

But before i go on over to my creation we have to take a look at the sponsors.

This week`s first sponor is as usual our fabby boss at Kenny K Downloads

Kenny is offering 5 digis of the winner`s choice.

Our second sponsor for the week is Marianne Design.

 Well...that was the official buisness, so lets get on to my creation for the week.

This time i`ve created a tag using a sheet from Astrid`s Artistic Efforts. She makes the most gorgeous digi papers and lots of other stuff too. You just have to visit her and look at all the wonderful things she makes.

I went for a vintage tag using one of the newest releases from Kenny K, Socialite. She is available here. 

I`m sorry for the bad pics. I hate taking pics in the evening course i have to use the flash. I prefer taking my pics in daylight as the colours looks more real. For instance the fur on her coat looks all white but it actually is more grey than white. I will see if i have the time to take some new pics later on this week.

I forgot to write down what colours i used, so this time i don`t have a list for you. But i have used brown tones and the dress is peach.

The dies i have used are from Marianne Design, Memory box and Spellbinders.

Thanks for visiting me! Hope you liked my tag.

Have a great day everyone!
