Pastel Goth Lucinda

Jeg elsker Betty Roberts sine motiver og 'Lucinda' er en nydelig digi mottatt for å delta i Simply Bettys Facebook Pastell Goth Challenge :)
Brukte flere timer på dette kortet, ikke helt enkelt med pasteller, men utfordrende og moro ble det!

I absolutely love Betty's images and this lovely 'Lucinda' I got as a freebie to participate on Simply Betty Stamps Facebook challenge. It was a joy to color in a goth theme ~ with pastel colors, a bit tricky to find in my stash though ;)

Sassy Princess Feathers & BlogCandy Winner!

Motivet på kortet mitt er 'Princess Feather Portrait' fra Sassy Studio Designs ♥ Hun var en drøm å male ~ fikk meg til å tenke på Pocahontas filmen fra Disney, tror jeg må se den igjen i helga! :) 
Fikk et kjempeflott stempelsett kalt 'Feathered Friends' med i scrappebladet Creative Stamping. Masse fugler og fjær som passet helt perfekt til dette kortet! De blir nok brukt ofte heretter ♥ Sjekk de søte uglene! 
Lurer du på hvem som vant den store Digi-Doodle BlogCandyen min? Rull litt nedover så får du se!!! :)

 

'You are Unique'

The motif on my card today is called 'Princess Feathers Portrait' from Sassy Studio Designs. She was an absolute dream to color! Gorgeous image, thinking of the Pocahontas movie by Disney while painting.. I think I'll watch it again this weekend, been years since last time :) 
I got an awesome clearstamp-set named 'Feathered Friends' in the cardmaking magazine Creative Stamping. So many cute birds n feathers! I'm sure I'll be using it very often in my crafting ♥
Something I haven't used from my stash for ages is Prima flowers, and I have sooooo many of them! Which is a good thing as I actually messed up my card with black smudges here and there.. and had to hide them somehow! ;)

It was early 2010 when I first discovered this wonderful shoppe with amazing artists (then only in high quality rubber, in the later years also in digital stamps), and I have been a HUGE fan ever since.. or hoarder I may as well say .. as I tend to buy all I see that I 'need' ..and they have become so many that I have lots not used once yet! Anyone else? *lol*
I also tend to buy the very same stamps sometimes.. so I get some duplicates!
