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.




If you want some more inspiraton, hop on over to the Phindy`s Place challenge blog to see the fabby creations from the rest of the DT. And don`t forget to join the challenge either.

Hot, hot, hot at WhoopsiDaisy

Hey Sweet friends!

Ooohhh i`m so excited!!! Are you wondering why, lol? Well, i have finally invested in a big shot. Or correctly...my hubby has, lol. We have recently celebrated our first year of marriage and he gave me a gift certificate for a big shot. Yey!!!! Guess if i was happy, lol? So today i went ahead and ordered one online. I am so excited and i allmost can`t wait to get to play with it.

In the meantime i have made a red and yellow card for our hot challenge over at WhoopsiDaisy. I think this fairy looks rather hot, don`t you. I just love how her dress flows around her. And i just looove the deep red colour i managed to colour her with. This image you can find her on sheet #280 in the WhoopsiDaisy shop.


The swirl is a Prima one that i have butchered. I just love these pearl and bling swirls from Prima but they are a bit too big to have the whole thing on a card. The difficult part is to separate them without making them look odd. This time i got lucky, lol.

The ProMarkers i used for the image are:

Hair:
Cool grey #3,4 and 5
Black

Skin:
Vanilla
Saffron
Oatmeal
Tan

Dress:
Poppy

I just really looove this image. The mermaid looks so divine. I just hope i did her justice with my colouring, lol.

Going in circles at Phindy`s Place....

...and it`s making me dizzy...lol...Hey everyone!

What a way to start a challenge! It`s allmost like my eyes are spinning, lol. So many circles, lol! No seriously...The challenge over at Phindy`s Place this time is Circles! For my sample today i have toned down my circles a bit compared to the others on the team. Though my card is round, i haven`t used papers with circle pattern. I think the image i used doesn`t fit too well with lots of circles so i made him a green "garden".


Green is not a colour i use as a main colour too often for my creations but i think i pulled this one off. The cute image is called Impish Elf end you can find it in Phindy`s Place store, right here. The sentiment is a freebie from Bizzy Becs store blog. And you can find it here.

These are the ProMarkers i used:

Shirt:
Caramel
Tan
Putty
Satin
Leaf green
Apple
Emerald
Marsh Green

Trousers:
Burnt Sienna
Cocoa
Caramel

Swing:
Walnut
Terracotta
Honeycomb
Pine
Bright Green

Skin:
Vanilla
Saffron
Oatmeal
Tan

For the hair i just uset ice grey #1

Well, Thats all from me today. Just make sure you join us for the new challenge over at Phindy`s Place. There are lots of lovely inspiration from the other gals also. I`m sure if you visit their blogs and leave them some sugar, they really would appreciate it.

Have a great weekend you all and i`ll be back tomorrow with a new DT card for Crafts and Me.

Hugs...Mona
