Tilda with Cozy Heart ♥

Papirplanetens utfordring for Juli og August #8. har Sommer som tema! Det passer jo fint :) De herlige motivstemplene jeg har brukt på kortet er fra Magnolia, og de fleste av dem kan finne her hos Papirplaneten. Vi håper du blir inspirert til å delta! ♥

Ser det ut som om tallerkenen hun sitter på er omgitt av oppvask-skum? Fikk en idé om å bruke Tilda Lace die til nettopp det *lol* 

Den nydelige forgyllingen på rammen er IndigoBlu Megaflakes, som ga meg litt hodebry.. Du kan nesten ikke puste når du holder på ellers flyr flakene over hele bordet og deg selv. Så ut som tingeling når jeg var ferdig på scrapperommet for kvelden ;)  Og Flitterglu'en som påføres først er så 'sticky' at man kan kun ha det på en stencil eller et stempel i noen øyeblikk før det må legges i vann, ellers får du litt aven jobb med å skrubbe av limet! Men resultatet blir så fint at det er verdt litt kaos! Neste gang skal jeg ha et vannbad rett ved siden av der jeg holder på, tatt lærdom av youtube ~ demo by Kay at CHA.

..a FRIEND listens to the words, but can also hear the heart..

I just adore Magnolia stamps ♥ This card is my DT inspiration for PapirPlaneten, an all norwegian challengeblog and craft shoppe, and the theme for July & August is Summer! :)
Does it seem like the dinner plate she sits on is surrounded by dishwashing foam? I have the Tilda Lace die and got the idea that it kind of looked like it could be foam *lol*

I used the amazing Indigo Blu MegaFlake gilding on the frame, for the first time I might add, and oh my! What a sticky mess!!! And whatever you do - DON'T breathe! Or it will fly everywhere ~ I looked like tinkerbelle afterwards *lol* 
But it looks awesome ♥ 
Next time with a bit more caution though... I used it first on a tim holtz flower stencil (such a pretty result for a future project), and I took my time dabbing glue into all the little gaps of the stencil.. which was very bad apparently! It only took a minute before the glue was too sticky on the stencil that I couldn't get it off when I took it to wash in the sink!
 
I ended up probably spending 15 minutes getting it almost all off by scrubbing and nearly damaging the tiny details in the process.. I've been educating myself on youtube now ~ demo by Kay at CHA ~ so I will be sure to have a tub of water next to me and only dab for 10 seconds before hurling it into water ;)

I love to watercolor! My favourite technique is mixing Tims Distress inks with twinkling H2O's. Love the shine! I usually use the pads onto a plastic sheet and pick up with a brush, but sometimes I use the reinkers or the markers too. I also have inktense pencils and other coloring supplies, but distress inks and twinks are the best ♥

WeddingCard & my new MISTI!

Papirplanetens Juni utfordring #7. har Bryllup som tema. Motiv og tekst stemplene jeg har brukt på mitt staffelikort er fra Kort og Godt sine flotte stempelsett, som du kan finne her hos Papirplaneten :) Vi håper du blir inspirert til å delta! 

Jeg fylte 40 år i april og brukte en masse penger på meg selv ;) Så jeg har nylig fått flere store scrappestæsj pakker i posten, og endelig har jeg en MISTI! Har ønsket meg en kjempelenge etter å sett så mange videoer på youtube, som denne fra Jennifer McGuire ♥ og den er helt utrolig! Ville aldri fått til et så helt sort stempeltrykk av brudeparet uten den, måtte nemlig stemple tre-fire ganger, og den stemplet nøyaktig på samme plass hver gang! Kjempedyr, men vel verdt det :)

Har du sett bloggcandyen min? Mye flott scrappe godis der ~ CD-rom med massevis av søte bilder å printe ut, Alve stempelsett, Digistempel fra meg, og to QK dies! ♥ Bare en uke igjen nå, og alle kan delta!

inside and back detail

I am super happy about my latest scrapping stash purchases (turned 40 in april so I went on a huge shopping spree ~ all just for me!), and especially my new MISTI stamp tool. Let me tell u ~ AMAZING! :)
I have been wanting this for a long time, ever since watching Jennifer McGuire demonstrate it, and many others since. This here youtube shows the altenew blooms & the MISTI tool working in perfect harmony!

My easelcard today is DT inspiration for PapirPlaneten, an all norwegian challengeblog and craft shoppe. The June theme is Wedding ♥
I sure would never have gotten such a crisp black stamped image of the bride & groom couple if not for the MISTI ability to stamp several times on the excact same spot. Expensive yes, worth it OH YES!

Cannot wait to try out all my other new goodies too ♥ Here are some of them!

By the way .. I have some yummies for u as well! Have you seen the Blogcandy I have going on? There is a cd-rom collection of Happy Hoppers & Gruffies (from House-Mouse), QK-dies and a fab Fairy Clearstamp set! Plus a digistamp from me ..and It's open to every crafter worldwide ♥ Hurry though, only one week left!
