WeddingCard ♥ For a Lovely Couple

Jeg og moren min var i bryllup til ei av mine aller beste venninner i helga ♥ og festen ble holdt på samme hotell som vi overnattet på ~ Rica Hotell i Narvik. Et nydelig nybakt ektepar, med en kjempekoselig familie og god mat pluss drinker.. mojito nam!.. og det var så et flott hotell, supert hotellrom og deilig seng :) Bodde i 13'de etg. og festen var i 16'de ~ helt på toppen! (Ring rundt rommet vårt på bildet).

Fikk god tid til å vandre litt rundt på Amfi shoppingsentret som lå like ved, og vi fant også en Panduro forhandler ikke langt unna.. Klær og sko kan sløydes, med bokhandler og hobbybutikker ~ der går bankkortet varmt.. På hjemturen kom vi tilogmed tilfeldig over en scrappebutikk i Bjerkvika!!! Scrap'n Joy. Kom hjem med bilen full av poser med scrappe-stæsj, Playstation spill, ting og tang! :)

Lagde selvfølgelig bryllupskortet selv, ville jo ikke tatt seg ut (som den scrappeberta jeg er) om jeg troppet opp med et helt vanlig butikk-kort! ;) 
Kjøpte dette nydelige AuroraWings stemplet for anledningen, og jeg har på følelsen at dette kommer til å bli motivet på de aller fleste bryllupskortene jeg lager fremover ~ Mitzi Sato Wiuff er en fantastisk kunstner! ♥

Me and my mum was attending one of my best girlfriends wedding this past weekend, and they were such a lovely couple! ♥ Great party, sweet family, good food & drinks ~ yummy mojito's! Sure am going to try making some at home! 
We stayed at the same hotel as the party ~ room on the 13th floor, bar & dinner on the top 16th floor! If you see the photo further up, it's no wonder they call it the sky-bar! (The circle is around the room we stayed in :)

During the day we also got to shop in the nearby shoppingcentre, and on the way back we found a little shop named Scrap'n Joy in Bjervika. So we went back home with lots of good memories, some new Playstation games & freebies, yummy new papers, stamps, dies & gorjuss things! 

Ofcourse I created the weddingcard to give them myself ~ it just wouldn't do to show up at the wedding with a plain store-bought card! Beeing a self-proclaimed scrap-artista... ;)
I got this AuroraWings digistamp for this occasion, but I'm sure it will show up on nearly all weddingcards I create from now on ~ Mitzi Sato Wiuff is such an amazing artist! ♥

Luminarte Twinkling H2o's Shimmering Watercolors, and Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads & markers to watercolor and distress image and papers. Ranger ink  Vintage Distress embossing powder & my heat tool made the frame feel like sandpaper to the touch, wich is a really vintage effect!

The 'flicking-water-with-your-fingers' technique I told u about in my last post with the pirate card, I also used ALOT on this steampunk tag. Along with dabbing the tag in ink on my craftsheet. The background is done mostly with Scattered straw & Rusty Hinge, a dash of Vintage photo and perhaps some Tea dye! You can go along way to acheiving the vintage look by starting with theese Distress inks ans some good blending tools.. and water comes for free! :)

A Pirate's Life for me...

Jeg befinner meg i vakre Lofoten for tiden, på Hammerstad Camping sammen med familien min ~ og det har vært alltfor lite tid til blogging og kort.. Men jeg hadde jo noen DT prosjekter klare ;)

I got a question on how to get this kind of background: you cover up the image with a postit, then after distressing around it, use the 'flicking-water-with-your-fingers' technique - or a spray/mister. I had some ink on my craftsheet wich I picked up droplets of and flicked on it as well. You can watch many 'spritz & flick' technique videos on youtube, this is one about 6+min. in: Ranger Inks video with Tim Holtz also here with Dixie Cravens Basic blending techniques n flickin water spots - The results are pretty cool!
