a Pirate's Life for me!

Papirplanetens utfordring #19. ~ for juli mnd. har 'Maritimt ~ bruk puncher og/eller dies' som tema. Du kan finne flere av stemplene og dies jeg har brukt hos Papirplaneten, linker nederst i bloggposten. Vi håper føler deg inspirert til å delta med dine kreasjoner hos oss ♥ Jeg har visst hengt meg helt opp i temaet og glemt å bruke punch og dies, med mindre innsiden teller.. Arrrgh ;) 
Rammen på forsiden har jeg lagd selv, tegnet opp en øy-lignende form med blyant først og så skar jeg ut med skalpell på en selvhelende matte.

I have made a pirate themed card as my DT-inspiration for this months challenge at PapirPlaneten, an norwegian challengeblog and craft shoppe. Our theme for july is 'Maritime'. You are more than welcome to join with your creations, but the main prize is only shipped within Norway ♥ 
The island shaped frame I have drawn randomly with a pencil and cut out with a scalpel on top of a selfhealing mat.

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 ;)

Creative Fingers utfordring denne uken #38. er som vanlig 'Lag-hva-du-vil' med et valgfritt tema som denne gangen er 'Billetter'! Vår sponsor, Sassy Studio Designs, har gitt meg en digi jeg har hatt på ønskelista mi lenge ~ Once Upon a Time 'Pirate Penny' :)

I am currently in beautiful Lofoten on Hammerstad Camping with my family, and there hasn't been time to blog much this summer.. But I have some DT projects ready to show off! This weeks challenge #38. at Creative Fingers is as usual 'Anything Goes' ~ with the optional theme of 'Tickets!'. 

Our sponsor Sassy Studio Designs, has been kind enough to give me this cool 'Pirate Penny' image I've had on my wishlist for a longlong time! :)

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!

By the cute and Girly sin utfordring i Juni mnd. er bryllup - eller fra temaet; noe gammelt, noe nytt, noe lånt eller noe blått... Jeg har 'gravd' frem et gammelt stempeltrykk jeg ikke har fått brukt til noe, lagd ett 'nytt' ark, og lånt ei mønstersaks fra moren min :)
The June challenge at By the Cute and Girly is either a wedding card, or something from the theme: “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue..” I borrowed my mums zigzag-patterned scissors, made a new background paper, and the stampmotif is an old one I'd painted way back in july 2008 and not used yet :)

Monochromatic Envelope-card!

Totally Papercrafts utfordring #18. var 'Monokromatiske farger'. Jeg brukte samme tutorialen som med det forrige konvolutt-kortet jeg lagde, kjempemoro å lage noe annet enn firkantige kort ;) Og siden dette ikke kan bli mere jentete i rosa - så passer det også til Quirky Crafts utfordring #29 - Girly Girl!

Wich this is - made for a girl - and loads of Pink :) I made this after Anne's awesome Pixie Cottage envelope-card tutorial.

Baby Baby :)

Som jeg har skrevet i bloggen tidligere så fikk ei venninne av meg en liten gutt for nesten to uker siden, og jeg lagde dette kortet - men kunne jo ikke legge det ut før hun hadde fått kortet da ;) Toget er fra en tapetbit!

Stempeltrykket er 'Bebisen' fra PysselPassion, og teksten KH Design - Kreativ Hobby.

This card I made for a friend of mine who recently got a cute little baby boy :) The stamp used is 'Bebisen' from PysselPassion, and the text wich reads: "A miracle is born.." is from Kreativ Hobby.

---

Har også lagd et kort med et trykk fra Bombshell Stamps - kjempestilige vintage tattoo stempler! Basic Grey papir. Til å lage rammen har jeg brukt min nye Spellbinder Nestabilities - Oval Classic Scallop Large.

Hadde trykt ut noen QK-Revolution swirls, og brukte arket som sjablong for å lage noen direkte på kortet med ei brun Cat's Eye Chalk stemplepute :) Tekst-stempelet er ukjent.

I've also made a vintage looking card, with a pin-up girl from Bombshell Stamps. The paper is Basic Grey, and the frame is Spellbinder Nestabilities - Oval Classic Scallop Large. The swirlies are made with some scraps I had leftover after cutting some QuickKutz Revolution swirls - I used the holes as a stencil, and sponged with a Cat's Eye chalk pad. The tekst reads: "Roses are red, Violets are blue, Grapes are sweet, And so are you."
