Colouring up Conie Fong

Hi there!

I`ve not been very active with my crafting these past few years, but when i was challenged by a friend to try out her copics and colour up an image. I couldt resist. I got this cute image by Conie Fong that i decided to colour, so here is my finished project. I`m sorry but i don`t remember the colours i`ve used. Hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by, and i wish you a great summer!

Heisann!

Da er sommeren definitivt over. Vi skriver september og nå bør vi være godt restituert og klar for å lage ny inspirasjon. Jeg føler i alle fall at kreativiteten min har fått seg et ekstra løft.

Denne gang har jeg laget et helt enkelt kort uten for mye stæsj på. Motivet er fra Tiddly Inks og heter Fairy Sunny Day. Det er tilgjengelig her. Papirene er fra Bearly Mine Designs. Som vanlig er motivet fargelagt med ProMarkers og FlexMarkers.

Vintage at Phindy`s Place

Hi sweet friends!

The weeks are flying and i`m allmost finished with my vacation:-( But in one way i`m happy it`s over. I am really missing my craft room. My fingers really itch for making anything crafty, lol.

At Phindy`s Place this week we are going vintage. This is one of my fav styles. I looove anything vintage, so this is straight up my alley. So i hope you like my little creation.

The digi i have used for this is called Birdie and you can find it right here. I think this is so adorable. The girl with the waaay too big hat and the bird...think this has to be one of my favourite Phindy images, lol.


Behind the image i put a pice of corrugated cardboard paintet with gesso. I have inked the edges with distress ink "Vintage photo". It is not easy to make this type of work really stick to my card so when i use corrugated cardboard i have to use my gluegun for mounting all my embellies. It`s a bit messy but i prefer it that way, lol. The die is from Marianne Design.

The ProMarkers i used for this image are:

Skin:
Coral, Sunkissed pink, Blush, Tan

Dress:
Henna, Tan, Cinnamon, Putty, Satin

Hat:
Peach, Soft peach, Pastel pink

Other colours:
Lipstick red, Sky blue, Terracotta, Walnut, Umber.

One day i was visiting an interior decorating store and i came across this home decor. It is a piece of a long string with pearls and metal embellies and i had my cards in mind when i bought it, lol. I allways think if i can use what i buy for my cards when i`m out shopping, lol.


The button is something i have had in my stash for quite a while and finally i found the perfect project for it.

Phindy`s Place challenge and a DT-Call

Hey everyone!

It`s that time again. We are so sorry to see some of our team-mates leave for various reasons. We will really miss you guys. It has been a real pleasure to work with you all. With that said, we are having a DT-Call over at Phindy`s Place. If this is something that you would like to try out, please feel free to hop on over to see how you can enter the call. Phindy is such a fabulous boss to work for. She is really generous with the images. And they are absolutely and totally gorgeous.

So over to the challenge. And what is the challenge? you ask, lol. Well we want to see two of somethings. And this means you can only use two things of one kind. You can`t put on for example 3 flowers and think that you have put on two. It has to be exactly two. But you can use different types of embellies. Such as 2 DPs, 2 pearls, 2 types of lace and so on.


For my card i have used 2 DPs, 2 doilies, 2 of each type of flowers, 2 swirls, 2 pearls, (they doesn`t show too well, got covered by the watermark, lol) 2 types of lace and i have even used 2 colours on her dress too, lol. That was actually a lucky strike, lol. I noticed it just about now, hahaha.


The image is called Bye Bye Butterfly and you can find it right here, in Phindy`s Place online store. Isn`t she adorable?

The ProMarkers i used are these:

Pastels over at Phindy`s Place

Hey Peeps!

The weeks are going by so fast and the weather hasn`t been much to brag about. Well...it`s not all bad. Bad weather is good crafting weather, isn`t it, lol?

Today we are having a new challenge over at Phindy`s Place. We want to see pastels. This is just right up my alley. I`m in a shabby chic period and pastels are perfect to do shabby style with.

I have used a digi called "Something Sweet". And i think she really is sweet.

The ProMarkers i have used are these:

Skin:
Vanilla
Saffron
Oatmeal
Tan

Clothes:
Slate
Lilac
Lavender

Hat:
Orchid
Blossom

Other colours:
Lime Zest
Bright Green
Yellow
Baby Pink
Antique Pink
Walnut

The papers are from Websters pages except for the circled one. And the big flower is from Prima. I also used gesso to paint the edges of the back panel. I also have got a hold of some liquid pearls that is so easy to apply. You just apply the liquid pearls and just tap your finger on the backside of the card. Just make sure to hold the card horisontally when you tap so the pearls keeps in place.
