Blogaversary Candy!

Wow! The ticker on my blog has actually passed more than 300.000 unique visitors without me noticing! So I wanted to show my appreciation with some some sweet crafty goodies to give away ~ Dies, stamps, rhinestones, gems, charms and ribbons! 
Also my blog anniversary is coming up this summer so I will let the candy run extra long this time, giving you all plenty of time to join! ♥ ♥ ♥

most embellishes plus the muffin stamps are from Panduro Hobby.
the Marianne Design dies & stamps are: 
'Birdhouse Flowers COL1308' and 'Quill Pen & Ink COL1375'

This BlogCandy is open to all you wonderful crafty people who stop by my blog ~ I will ship worldwide ~ and while I would appreciate it if you were a follower of my blog, it's not necessary to win ♥
But please ~ NO Non-crafters or Candy only bloggers, that would not be fair.

I'd be very happy if you could spread the word by mentioning this candy with a link and/or photo of it, either on your own blog (sidebar is fine) or other, like a pin, instagram, facebook, twitter etc.

And a BONUS! If there is more than 30 entries, I will also pick three more winners who will get a freebie digistamp each of their choice from my etsy shoppe!

Just write me a comment on this blogpost! Simple as that :)
 

  

The candy will end on July 11th. at 23:55/11:55 PM.

Yellow & Gold Confirmation card

 

Mitt DT bidrag for Creative Fingers #147. som er sponset av Angelique med en kjempeflott stempelsett! Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema. Velkommen skal du være ♥

Designteamet fikk bruke fritt av hva vi allerede har av motiver, og jeg har brukt et nydelig silhouette stempel fra et av Kort & Godt flotte konfirmasjon stempelsett. Syntest det ble ekstra stilig med et tykt lag av gull embossing pulver!

My DT inspiration for Creative Fingers challenge #147. wich is sponsored by our Angelique with a fab stampset for the lucky winner! As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations :)

The team had free choice to use any motifs we wanted on this challenge, and I have used a beautiful silhouette stamp from Kort & Godt as my main motif. I double-heat-embossed it in gold, so it really looks very blingy and fancy ~ perfect for a teenage girls confirmation ♥

Here you can see how it looks from the side and from the back.. and further down, there is an inside view as well :)

Har utfordret meg selv til å male i nedtonede farger denne gangen, og det var absolutt ikke enkelt, penseln min prøvde hele tiden og male i 'ekte' farger... 
Men med god hjelp fra Tim Holtz 'Black soot', 'Hickory smoke' & 'Iced spruce', og den nye gjengen (Oxides) hjalp også til så jeg fikk 'jekket ned' de mere fargerike tonene ;)

Kortet mitt er DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #146., og det nydelige hovedmotivet er et digistempel fra vår nye sponsor LeAnn's World 101. 
Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være :)

For todays project I have challenged myself to watercolor in muted colortones.. Wich proved to be very difficult! I felt the paintbrush constantly wanting to paint in 'real' inks!.. Luckily Tim Holtz 'Black soot', 'Hickory smoke' & 'Iced spruce' are good friends to have when attempting to mute down the brighter 'noisier' inks.. And the new grungy bad boys, the Oxides, were a big help as well ;)

My DT card for this fortnights challenge #146. at Creative Fingers has a gorgeous umbrella girl motif from our sponsor LeAnn's World 101. ♥ 
As always we're having an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations :)

I don't own a MINC machine (yet) but I got a few of the Heidi Swapp MINC reactive foils! I used the mint colored one, wich was a perfect for this card ~ and I simply added it onto high-tack tape, rubbing it with a bonefolder. 
It doesn't work as good as with the laminator, and if you mess to much with it, it may scratch off and become sticky ~ but it's still a very nice and easy (plus cheap) way of foiling :) 

As you can see by this detail pic, I added glossy accents 

to some of the raindrops, and the 'Silver' word. 

I like adding a bit of shine whenever I can :)

I also found a matching envelope in my stash, how lucky!
