Favourite colour combo at WhoopsiDaisy

Hi everyone!

It`s been a while since i last posted anything in my blog. I`ve had a good long holiday from crafting and i`m starting the new year with newfound inspiration. The main issue is the time aspect. With my job and silly workhours it`s not so much time left to get crafty. But i love crafting and try as best as i can to make time. 

This year i start with the new challenge over at WhoopsiDaisy. The theme set for the challenge is

Favourite colour combo

The image i have used is available on sheet #506 which is one of the newest sheets in the WhoopsiDaisy Shop

Monochromatic at WhoopsiDaisy

Hi everyone!

Today i want to show you a creation i made using one of the newest Halloween digis by Linnie at WhoopsiDaisy. You can find it on sheet #494. It took forever to colour. I believe i spent a little over 5 hours to colour it, lol. The only thing i`m not satisfied with is that my camera made the white stripes to appear stronger than in real life. And i think they are a bit overwhelming. Oh well...when i can`t make use of a decent daylight it sometimes end up like this i`m sorry to say.

The papers i have used are digipapers from Bearly Mine Designs. The spiderweb is fuzzycut from one of the digipapers.

Colours used:

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

Hair: Black

Dress/hat: Black, Shale, Burgundy, Berry red, White Sakura gelly roll pen.

Other colours: Cool grey #5 and 4, Walnut, Terracotta, Spice, Sandstone, Pineapple crush, Buttercup

I didn`t have any black flowers so i used my ProMarker to colour most of it. I also had to use my Black soot distress reinker course i didn`t manage to colour all in the center of it. I just put some drops of ink in the middle and elsewhere where i couldn`t use my marker.

I also had this metal rose with the gorgeous red eye in the middle i just had to put it on the card.

So now it`s your turn to go and create something monochromatic. I`m looking forward to come visit you and see what you create. Happy crafting everyone!

 

 

Vintage/Shabby chic over at WhoopsiDaisy

Hey peeps!

Today the new challenge has gone live over at WhoopsiDaisy  . The theme for this time is 

Vintage / Shabby chic

I went for shabby chic for my creation this time. The image is from Sheet #451.

This theme is one of my favs. I just love anything vintage and shabby looking stuff.

Papers i have used are from Maja Design, (Vintage spring basics). Dies are from Spellbinders, Magnolia and Marianne Design. I have painted the edges with white gesso blended with a little sand to get some extra texture. I have also used Frantage Embossing enamel (Shabby pink) on the edges of the image.

Colours i have used:

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

Hair: Cocoa, Mustard, Buttercup, Saffron

Dress: Trick or Treat, Dusky rose, Pink mittens

This cluster of flowers are from several companies. Mulberry Crafts, Wild Orchid Crafts and Bi-kuben. The lace is also from WOC.

I also made a mini pebble. Ok i didn`t actually make the glass pebble, lol. But i cut out a little rose and glued it on to the back of the glass pebble to make my own finished one. I think it came out quite nice and perfect for this card.

Ok...that`s it from me today. We would very much like you to come over to WhoopsiDaisy and join in our new challenge. Hope to see you there! 

Happy Crafting everyone!

Pretty in pink at WhoopsiDaisy

Hey everyone!

Today we are ready with a new challenge over at WhoopsiDaisy. The theme for this week is

PRETTY IN PINK

  Here is my card for this challenge. I have used papers from Maya designs spring basics collection. I just love these course they are so light and soft coloured. Such beautiful designs. You have to excuse me a bit as i think i went a bit overboard on the photos, lol. I just have a ot to show you, lol.

The image i have used is from sheet #448 available in the WhoopsiDaisy digi shop. There is actually a freebie available if you want to play along.

The colours i have used are:

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

Hair: Cocoa, Mustard, Buttercup

Dress: Pink carnation, Carnation, Pink mittens

This lace butterfly is from Wild Orchid Crafts. I just looooove it!

I have also tried out the new Frantage embossing enamel which has become so popular recently. I think it gives a fabulous distressed look. The colour i have used on this card is the Aged Rose enamel. It is available at Live and Love Crafts. The Chipboard pieces are from Make it Crafty.

I have also made this tile myself. I have used white clay, rolled it flat and cut out the size i wanted. Baked it in the oven for half an hour to make it hard. Then i glued a piece of a scrap paper with this cute image on to it. Then sanded the edges a bit. At the end i sealed it with glossy accent on top to give it a glossy look. Hope you like it as much as i do, lol.

Finally a big cluster of flowers. These are from Prima, Wild Orchid Crafts, Mulberry Crafts and Kort & Godt.

Thanks so much for visiting me. I really appreciate it. I hope to see you over at WhoopsiDaisy. Please come join us for this challenge. Everyone loves pink, so this should be a nice and easy one.
Happy crafting!

Not square at WhoopsiDaisy

Hi everyone!

It`s monday and we`re doing the ususal deets over at WhoopsiDaisy. New challenge that is, lol. The theme set is: 

NOT A SQUARE CARD

For my creation this time i have made a circle card with lots of layers. I have used an image from sheet #431. I think she is soooo adorable.

Colours i have used:

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

Hair: Cocoa, Mustard, Buttercup

Dress: Celestial blue (FM), Powder blue, Glacier blue (FM)

Wings: Lime twist, Lime zest, Aniseed (FM)

Flowers/grass: Coral, Pink mittens, Forest green, Pear green, Chartreusse (FM)

Mushroom: Tan, March hare, Satin, Shale, Burgundy, Berry red

Ground: Umber, Sandstone, Blender

Shade: Midnight blue, Twilight sky, Denim blue, April shower, Blender.

The big flower is from Prima, The Chrysanthemums and rosebuds are from Kort & Godt. Pearls and the last little flower is from Wild Orchid Crafts. I also made a little glasspebble using a little image from a Graphic 45 piece of scrap paper. You can barely see it in the bottom of the flower cluster. Papers i have used are the new Vintage spring basics by maja design.

I have also used a freebie sentiment from Kristin Langnes, available here.

Not too long ago i saw this tutorial on how to make extra texture to your paint. There was this fabulous lady that had this tutorial but i really don`t remember her name right now. If anyone know who i`m talking about please let me know so i can give her credit. Well...anyway, she put some sand in her acrylic paint to make some extra texture. I had to give this a try and you can see it around the edges and on the keyhole and the butterflies. The only difference i used gesso instead of acrylic paint. I had so much fun and i just looove how it turned out.

Well, that`s it. Just stay tuned course i`ll soon be back with a post on the new challenge at Marianne`s Design Divas. In the meantime you can allways pop over to WhoopsiDaisy challengeblog and join in on the fun. Thanks for visiting!

I`ll be back! :-)

If you need a freebie for the challenge there is two freebies available a bit down on the side in the shop. But you need to be quick about it course they will soon be gone. Remember that if you use a WD image you can make anything you`d like, you don`t need to follow the theme. How awesome is that?

Good Luck everyone!
