ATC swap series

Hi everyone!

I`m back with some ATC`s i created for a swap a while back. The theme was collage and these are what i came up with.

It was essential that the ATC`s looked like part of a series. So i used the same colours and elements, but i changed the images and placing of elements so they wouldn`t look exactly the same.

I`m sorry the pics aren`t the best. I was in a bit of a hurry to get them posted within the deadline....yeah...that`s me....Last Minute Eidhammer is my name, hahaha.

I`ve posted closeups of all the ATCs. I have to say i was a bit satisfied with these. Love how the colours came out. And i had so much fun making them.

I hope you like my ATCs. Love to see you back here soon,

CAS ATC

Hi everyone!

I`m back after a week up north, visiting my parents as well as attending a crop. What a girl doesn`t do to get some crafting companions, lol.... just travel 560 miles for it, hahaha. Talk about being crazy. Anyway....i had an awesome time. We had so much fun and were very creative. Looking forward to next time. 

Today i want to show you a series of ATCs i recently created. ArJo`s Tag and ATC kos on facebook arranges challenges each month to challenge us in different techniques. Last month the theme were CAS...or as close as possible. In addition to the theme, we had to use at least a newspaper-clipping, two colours and a stamp. And here is my take on the challenge:

I think this is as CAS i can get it, lol. For those of you that don`t know what CAS means: Clean and simple.

I have gotten hooked on washitape recently. Maybe because i have purchased "My Prima Planner" and washitape is a great way to decorate it lol. Anyway....I ordered these totally adorable kittens online. Just looove them. They are sooo cute... or so i thought until i sat down editing these pics. Then i noticed one of them are mooning us, hahaha. What a naughty little bugger hahaha. Not so cute after all or what?

I had to show you these from another angle just to show you the gorgeous foil detail on the washitape.

The colours show up a bit off. The yellowish colour is actually more of a lime colour. The top pic looks more than the real thing.

To get this look i used a stencil and modelling paste with two colours of Gellatos. I added my embellies and spritzed with black, white and gold specs of colours.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by today. Allways much appreciated.

World Scrap Battle - Layout

Hi there everyone!

Today i have for you the layout i created for the World Scrap Battle and Tournament.

I`m fairly new to making layouts and the theme was a problem for me, making this one. I found out i just should use the inspiration photo itself as a focal point on my layout. So here it is:

As i was going to use distress ink and stencil to make my own backround. I found that i had to use watercolour paper to make sure it could handle the saturation. The only thing i didn`t like is that it became too bulky and no matter how much glue i used to adhere it to the cardstock, it didn`t get less bulky. Either way i had a lot of fun trying out some techniques that are new to me. I actually like how it turned out all though there were a lot of greater entries by others in the battle.

The pic i adhered with 3d coushins so make it stand a bit more out from the paper. The stencil i have used is the checkerboard stencil from Prima Finnabair collection. Which i used together with the Modelling paste, also Prima. To get the yellow colour i added a couple of small pinches of Golden sleighbells magicals from Lindy`s Stamp Gang. 

The sentiment is chipboard sticker from my own stash. I don`t remember the company i`m sorry to say.

This star is a star-tag which i embossed with all white embossing powder and then added som black glitter embossing to it. I coudn`t catch the glittery stuff but i like how it turned out.

All the other papers and embellies are from a class i took by Irit Landgraf earlier this year. These have been sponsored by Hip Kit Club if my senile brain aren`t too far off, lol. I think it`s fabulous no matter what.

That`s it for today. Tomorrow i`ll be back with my last creation for round 1 and it is in the Mixed Media category. This one i`m fairly satisfied with, so i have saved it for last.

Thanks again for visiting me and hope you have enjoyed your stay!
