Nautical Confirmation Tag! ⚓


Denne helga har mitt yngste søskenbarnet sin konfirmasjon, og den maritime tagen jeg viser frem er lagd av restepapir fra invitasjonskortene jeg lagde iløpet av Bikubens online vårscrapp i mars. Tenker jeg skal lime et gavekort bakpå eller en pengelomme med noe oppi som gave! 💗

Inspirasjons bidrag for Creative Fingers utfordring #254. hvor vår DT Angelique er sponsor denne gang med en flott premie, og som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema. Velkommen skal du være! 😊

the Hearty Dragon 💗


For et par helger siden var jeg på Bikuben Vårscrapp online scrappetreff! Det er så moro med en gjeng koselige damer som scrapper sammen med masse flotte demoer, utfordringer og inspirasjon!
Det er et skikkelig kick i scrappetørken det er sikkert og visst! 😀 Fikk lagd flere kort og ble tilogmed ferdig med ett sett av 20 x invitasjonskort til søskenbarnet mitt sin konfirmasjon i mai!
 
Denne gangen var treffet ikke slutt når helga var omme, med to extra oppgaver som varte helt til igår! Jeg rakk ikke over den største (lage ferdig hele 15 prosjekt .. lol) men Restefest oppgaven er jeg med på! Hadde egentlig brukt opp alt jeg hadde av rester, men fant i papirsøpla et akvarellark jeg hadde trykt ut 'Love' bokstavene på, og det var akkurat tykt nok til å bruke som stensil på dette kortet. Og et gammelt Eureka gummistempel 'Hearty Dragon' fikk litt kjærlighet igjen 💗 Kjøpt i 2008 men designet er sikkert enda eldre enn det!



I was at an online scrap crop event about a week ago arranged by Bikuben, a norwegian crafty store. Theese events are so fun to be at with a bunch of ladies getting crafty together with demos and heaps of inspiration and challenges to get that mojo flowing! 😀 I even got to finish up 20 x invitationcards for my cousins confirmation day in may!
 

This time around they didnt want the event to end just yet, so we got another couple of challenges to last us until yesterday evening! I made this card from a leftover scrap of diecut paper with the letters LOVE from my previous posted card found here. And an old Eureka rubberstamp 'Hearty Dragon' got some love again too!
💗 It was bought in 2008 but the design is probably alot older!

🌈 Somewhere over the Rainbow 💗

Det er veldig enkelt å male regnbuefargede ord med distressinks ~ favoritt mediumet mitt ~ spesielt om man bruker akvarellpapir! Jeg valgte meg 5 blekkputer og malte dem 'inn i hverandre' slik at jeg fikk alle regnbuens farger på arket før jeg trykket ut bokstavene 💗

It's very easy to make rainbow colored words if you got some distressinks ~ my favourite medium ~ and especially if you use watercolorpaper too! I picked out 5 inkpads and painted them 'into eachother' so that i got all the rainbow colors on the paper before i diecut the letters 💗
