Confirmation Easel Card & BlogCandy Winner!

 

En tid tilbake ble jeg ble spurt om å lage et konfirmasjonskort for en gutt som er glad i biler, ATV, moped ~ ting som sier vrooom! altså :) Jeg spør alltid etter hobbyer og favoritt farger, spesielt når jeg ikke kjenner mottageren. Også om det skal være plass for et gavekort eller penger, og det er det her. Jeg fikk flere foto av gutten fra han var liten, og brukte et baby foto som hoved motiv, etter å ha redigert ut en litt rotete bakgrunn - ikke at de hadde det rotete altså! Nei, det passet bare ikke med stoler og kjøkken innredning liksom.. Fant papirer i blå og bruntoner og stempler som passet. Å bruke deres egne bilder og interesser gir kortet en spesiell betydning, og slår alltid godt an ♥

Om du titter her etter vinneren av bloggcandyen.. så rull litt lengre ned :)

 ~ Good luck or Congratulations/Felicitations on the Confirmation ~

 
I was asked to make this card for a young boys confirmation day a while back. And whenever I get requests like this, I want to know about special hobbies/interests and favourite colors, and if the card shall have a money/giftcard pocket or not. For example, this boys interests are music and things that go vrooom! Colors were browns and blues. I got several photos of him as a child, wich I printed out on watercolor paper. A baby photo was edited to remove the 'noisy' background, and used as the main image. Using their own images gives it a special meaning for the giver and the recipient ♥

Now.. You were perhaps looking for the Birdy BlogCandy winner? Look no further! The winner is chosen via inlinkz to be #2. ..wich is... 

Denise Bryant!

 

 Congratulations! ♥ I will send an email to you shortly.

Thank you so much everyone for entering! Unfortunately no other winners as there were so few entries, but I will have another sweet blogcandy up next week! Do try your luck again then :)

Vornii the dragon Bookmark

Har lagd en tag / bokmerke i Alice i Eventyrland tema ~ en av mine absolutt favoritt bøker, tydeligvis er det dragen Vornii sin også! ♥ Det var egentlig en Tolkien bok, Hobbiten, men jeg maskerte teksten og skrev inn Alice isteden :)  Prøvde ta bilder for å vise hvor skinnende gull detaljene er, men det må bare forestilles!

I've made a bookmark / tag with a Alice in Wonderland theme, one of my favourite stories, and apparently Vornii the dragon is also a fan! ♥ It was actually the Hobbit by Tolkien he was reading, but I masked the text when stamping, and wrote in Alice instead :) Tried to take photos to show how shiny the gold & yellow details are, but it just have to be imagined!

● a Vintage Journey ~ Tag Friday! [Dec.6th.]
● as You Like it ~ Rubber or Digi? Rubber! [Dec.5th.]
Even though digistamps has an advantage of beeing able to print any size you like, nothing beats the crisp images when stamping with rubber,  and the feel of it actually fysically there in you hand ~ oh and the smell of new rubber! You can also use rubbers for a whole bunch of techniques ~ like stamping onto mixe media and into hot embossing powders etc. So, Rubber is absolutely my favourite.. but I do own a gazillion of both kinds! ♥

Han er fra Roberto's Rascals som du kan finne hos C.C.Designs. Jeg var så heldig å kjøpe flere av digi-stemplene før de forsvant, men man kan enda få Roberto's Rascals som gummistempler  :)

I have had SO much fun with this gorgeous window die from Hero Arts! It came in the My monthly Hero May kit, and I've made many cards I'll soon show. But first this supercute tough little viking dude from Roberto's Rascals ♥ You can get him and others through C.C.Designs, I was so lucky to snag a bunch in digistamps, before they quit carrying them, but they still exist in rubber!
