Nydelig liten engel ♥ Lenge siden jeg har laget et kort med A Day for Daisies sine motiver nå, så jeg hentet frem en av mine favoritter 'Love Angel' :)

Bubbly Best Friends!

Har prøvd meg på en litt 'CAS' stil denne gangen ~ noe jeg finner utrolig vanskelig! Å ikke lesse på med stæsj og la det være igjen rene og åpne flater på kortet er jo nesten umulig! ...vel jeg bare 'måtte' bruke distressinks på kantene, det er et must ;) 

Det kjempesøte fiskemotivet er fra KJArting som er en av våre to sponsorer i denne ukens utfordring hos Creative Fingers #105. All Dressed Up er også sponsor, og om du blir med kan du være så heldig å vinne en premie fra en av dem! Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema :)

I have made an attempt to do a CAS card, which is the most difficult style for me to do ~ to NOT use a lot of stamping and embellishes, and to do open areas on the card is almost impossible *lol* I did try, but I just 'had' to add some distressinking to the edges, that is sort of compulsory on my cards ;) 
As you see I have added lots of glossy accents to one fish and it made taking a photo of the card a bit difficult, this was the best out of twenty!

When diecutting all the circles for my card I decided to make some of them be openings into the card for a fun effect! It can be tricky to geet the bubbles that fit exactly fitted on the reverse side, but I found that covering the holes on the front with removable tape/washi, then placing the cutouts into the holes and putting glue on the backs, and closing the card ~ made them adhere exactly where they should be!
 
We have two fab sponsors this fortnights challenge again at Creative Fingers challenge #105. ~ All Dressed Up, and KJArting who gave me this sweet fishy digistamp to work with ♥ As always our theme is ~ Anything goes, and you are welcome to join with your creations! :)

Trio of Toddlers!

Papirplanetens Mars utfordring er 'Baby/Barn/Dåp', og jeg har laget en trio av kort som mitt DT-bidrag! Hovedmotivet er et nydelig motiv fra Whiff of Joy & Elisabeth Bell kalt 'Willow with Toddler' ♥ Vi håper du blir inspirert til å delta :) 

Selv om babyen godt kan se ut som både gutt eller jente, ville jeg gjøre jentekortet enda litt mere 'jentete', så jeg tegnet en enkel liten sløyfe i håret på babyen med en vannfast svart penn (micron). Det er veldig kjekt å ha en slik penn for hånden om stempeltrykket blir litt utydelig en plass også, bare å tegne over med pennen! 

Jeg syns det er kjempesynd at WOJ la ned butikken og sluttet produsere stempler :( Fantastiske designere! Men du kan fortsatt finne dem rundtom hos forhandlere, bare pass på før de forsvinner! Du finner dette og mange andre WOJ stempler her hos PapirPlaneten :)

...A Miracle is born... 
..10 little fingers .. 10 little toes.. 
..a nose so sweet .. the skin so soft..

My trio of baby cards today are my DT inspiration for PapirPlaneten, an norwegian challengeblog and craft shoppe. The theme for february is all about babies & children ♥ The cute mother and child stamp is named 'Willow with Toddler' and is a design by Elisabeth Bell for the now discontinued shop Whiff of Joy. But you may still find WOJ stamps in various shops if you are lucky!

A black permanent pen is good to keep on han while u craft, mine is micron felt tip and I made a little bow for the girly baby, as well as had to redraw some lines that wasn't stamped well enough!

Two of the Willows were stamped a couple times and painted top half and bottom half, then cut and paperpieced with 3D foamdots. 
This makes the images really stand out, and with the twinkeling H2O paints I mixed with my favourite medium ~ Tim Holtz Distress inks, I am very happy with how they turned out. It's a bit difficult to see the shine, check out the butterfly close-up ~ the effect of twinkeling watercolors is gorgeous! ♥
