a Majestic Lion Card

Vakkert bilde ♥ Anbefaler virkelig å shoppe hos Joanna Sheen! Gratis porto og utrolig mye flott stæsj å få tak i, som denne CD'n! Har printet ut denne unge løven, eller løvinnen? på bazzill for å få en fin struktur. Finner ikke cd'n i webshoppen akkurat nå, så den er kansje utsolgt, men ååå så mange fine bilder! ~ Har printet ut flere så det kommer flere kort i denne stilen etterhvert :)

This is an absolutely gorgeous lion image from Jayne Netley Mayhew, wich I printed out from a Joanna Sheen CD ~ they are so perfect for male cards!

Friends are flowers...

That's Just So cute utfordring #7 er å bruke "Metallpynt" på prosjektet - se kortet med hÄngla-jenta. Har brukt clearstamps munn og nese for å gi dem et ansikt, vanligvis tegner jeg på, men ikke alltid like lett å være stø på hånda! Og for kortet med gutten - pene sommerfugler er utfordringen hos Charisma Cardz #10 :)

The first card is for the norwegian challengeblog That's just so cute #7 using metal. And the second card has a butterfly on it - as the latest challenge #10 on Charisma Cardz is all about beautiful butterflies! :)

Stamps/Image: hÄnglar & stÄnglar stamps from the 'spring & summer 2008' club kit. Magnolia - BakgrundsSwirl Bröllup. Textstamp from Kreativ Hobby (="Friends are the flowers in the garden of Life"). I've used Peachy Keen Funshine faceparts 3"-4" dolls clearstamps for their mouth & nose, a little too big - so I'm hoping for smaller parts :)
Paper: Bazzill cardstock. Basic Grey - Stella Ruby 'Garden Party' & Infuse 'Purify'. K&Company - Brenda Walton Paper pad. Fancy Pants - Sweet Spring 'Madelon'.
Embellishments: Panduro clip charms 'love'. Marvy Uchida - Southwest Punch. Prima flowers & MM brads.

For a Friend..

Mitt bidrag til denne ukens Sukkersött Utfordring #73 ~ Til en venn. Perfekt motiv til et slikt kort, StampSmith - Ophelia!
Entered in this weeks challenge in the scandinavian blog Sukkersött. #73 - For a Friend.

Main Stamps/Images: Stampsmith - Ophelia.(får du kjøpt hos North Star Stamps). Magnolia - BakgrundsSwirl Bröllup.
Text: Written in Word & printed out on cardstock. (Translates to: "the best antique is an old friend")
Papers used: Bazzill, K&Company - Blue Awning blue swirl floral.
Embellishments: Spellbinders Nestabilities - Curved Rectangles S5006. Prima flower & MM brads.

Sweet Kiss!

Dette stempelmotivet er fra Victoria Case - kjempeherlige designs hun lager, bare ta en titt i webshoppen hennes! :) Hun har både digitale motiv og gummistempler, som dette. Jeg har laget dette kortet etter skissen i utfordringsbloggen VC Stamp Challenges #13.This card is made after the sketch in VC Stamp Challenges #13. Victoria Case have some real sweet and cool designs, both digital and rubber! Here is her VC Stamp Shop.

The scan of the card doesn't show very well that half of the patterned blue paper is heat embossed with clear EP. Also this time I've put away my watercolors and used LePlume markers - on plain paper! Works fine when I want a more intense coloring :)

Stamps/Image: Victoria Case - Steal a kiss. Magnolia - Tildas fåglar (Tildas birds). Inkadinkado - Bohemian flourishes.
Paper: Bazzill cardstock. K&C - Brenda Walton - mira indigo word swirl. And a green scrap-paper..
Embellishments: Prima flowers, BasicGrey brads. Dies: Spellbinder Nestabilities - Labels 4. + Cats Eye Chalk ink.. And again, it doesn't show in the scan, but the image 'stands out' with 3D tape.

Zero Embellishments!

Denne ukens utfordring hos ABC er rett og slett å bruke ingen pynteting på kortet - og det er absolutt ikke lett! Jeg har sååå mange fine blomster og annet stæsj.. men jeg brukte en nydelig hjørne-puncher isteden for å 'style' det opp litt :)This week Z is for Zero Embellishments on the ABC challenge blog. That's just as challenging, if not more, than my previous post!!! But here it is, no flowers, no ribbons, nothing but ink and paper :)

Stamps/Image: Papilio - Ole's lille lam (Oles little lamb) and I've used a text stamp from Stempelhobby/Kin Flicks (no longer in business) plate 'Venn 1' by Ksenia - and it reads: 'To a good friend'.
Paper: Bazzill cardstocks, K&Company - Blue Awning blue swirl floral.
Embellishments: None!
But I've used lots of ink, Spellbinder Nestabilities - Oval classic Scallop Large S4111, and an EK success corner puncher.
