Thank you ♥

 'Tindaloo Alcohol Ink Play freebie'

~ NB: only available here until end of february 2019 ~

after this time it will be listed in bigger quality on my etsy shoppe :)

I made three alcohol ink backgrounds, the largest is my favourite so I digitized it so it could be printed out again and again. Doesn't it kind of look like viruses? Was going for an abstract floral feel, but the more I look at it, the more it looks a bit.. alien.. LOL! Hope you will enjoy it :)

I have used the alcohol ink landscape background on this card ~ Blue Christmas. And the third one, my 'splotchy swirly yupo' (a paper wich is new to me, so we're not quite friends yet..), that was my least favourite one. But I have still used it on the card I'm sharing today! Since the die cover most of it up it is looking good even though I messed it up :)

The fairy wings is paperpieced and she's popped up on 3D foam dots.

I had stamped, then fussycut out all the images from leftover paint splatter sheets, adding shading afterwards with my watercolor pencils. I then diecut the shapes from white cardstock and glued the images on to leave a nice white edge. A super fun card to make, and certainly not the last I make with this awesome Hero Arts kit!

Immortal Love ♥

Twilight har blitt en av mine favoritt serier i film og bok form ♥ Stor fan av fantasy og sexy vampyrer! ;) Om du er glad i denne serien også, må du absolutt gå til facebook siden til The Twilight Saga. Der ligger syv fantastisk bra kort-filmer basert på den offisielle illustrerte guiden til Twilight fra forfatteren Stephanie Meyer.  Mange med kjente skuespillere i rollene. Flotte tolkninger av Cullen familien, selv om man savner litt de man er vant til fra filmene..
Jeg har forresten også tidligere lagd kort inspirert av Twilight her om du vil ta en titt!

 

I know Twilight is a typical either u love or u hate series ~ but I have always had nothing but love for it ♥ .. I'm not a big fan of the typical rom-com movies and novels, but throw in some fantasy and sexy vampires n such together with some steamy romance, and I'm totally hooked! ;)
I have made some Twilight cards before, if you want to take a look, here!

Did you see new Short Stories based on Twilight the Official Illustrated Guide by Stephenie Meyer? It shows the backstories of the Cullen family, very tragic and romantic... They can all be watched on the video facebook page of The Twilight Saga! Then go vote.. I had a hard time picking a fave, but 'The Mary Alice Brandon File' & 'Consumed' touched me deeply.. so so sad ♥
