New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for the new Inkspirational challenge:

Well I don't know how naughty my little MFT polar bears are... Might be they are more nice than naughty... Or maybe the one raising his hand is guilty of doing something he should not have? At least he is guilty for being super cute if nothing else! 

I created my card inspired by the two current challenges at My Favorite Things:

The sketch challenge

The color challenge

I know the style of this card is unusual for me but I really enjoyed playing with designer paper and finding the best layout for the bears... So I'm happy I stepped out of my comfort zone! I added color and shading to the bears with watercolor and pens. I hope you like and thanks for popping by! I can't wait to see your 'naughty' creations at Inkspirational!

Guest Designing at Uniko: 2nd card!

Hi friends!

I'm here with a quick post to share my second guest designer card for Uniko Challenge! All the challenge details are HERE. Thanks again Uniko team for having me! 

I made a quick card with a Dutch DooBaDoo stencil. The stencil has these fun torn looking edges so I decided to use a Penny Black rectangle die that also has a torn look to it... The card turned out pretty edgy! :) I chose non-traditional Christmas colors for this. The sentiment is by Winnie and Walter. The splatters are made with white acrylic paint and with shimmery white gold paint by Kuretake. Hope you like and thanks for popping by... And again many thanks to Uniko team, I enjoyed creating my GD cards!

New Challenge at Less Is More!

Hello friends!

I'm here to share my DT card for the last Less Is More challenge for 2019. As usual, we take the December off but then look forward seeing what you'll create for us in 2020!

This time we have a sketch (or 2!) for you. Your "job" is to choose one triangle from the sketches for the inspiration of your card. 

As you can hopefully see from my card, I went with the second sketch. This card was as CAS as it gets, took no time at all... I die cut the hearts with a Penny Black die from white card, backed the card with red card and adhered it to a card base. I then created the sentiment strip by heat embossing the sentiment with white powder on black and voila, my Valentine's card for mr Boyfriend (he might be 42 but I still call him my boyfriend!) was finished. :) The sentiment is by Altenew.

Tristan (Tinstar) is our talented guest designer this time and Catherine Pooler continues as our November sponsor. Play along for a chance to win a fab prize and to be called to guest design in a future challenge! All the challenge information, prize details and more DT inspiration in our challenge blog HERE.

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for the new Inkspirational challenge where the theme is Celebrating! Itäs our 200th challenge so that sure is something to celebrate! You can be only make a celebration card or also be inspired by the provided photo. Please head on over to the challenge blog for all the challenge details and lots of more DT inspiration! 

I decided to make a celebration card AND be inspired of the photo. I did need a Christmas card for my card stash so I looked for a stamp that would somehow make the trick! This Poinsettia by Penny Black seemed to work at least somehow lol! I've heat embossed it with gold powder and colored it with colored pencils. I do think the sentiment is PB as well but I'm not entirely sure. I finished the card with some splatters and die cutting. Hope you like this and thanks for popping by!

Guest Designing for Uniko November/December Challenge!

HI guys!

Today I have the honor to guest design in Uniko Challenge! I was the happy winner of their September/October challenge and it's great to join the talented design team for this new challenge where the theme is Christmas with the optional twist of 'tree'. All the challenge information and plenty of DT inspiration HERE! Thank you Uniko team for inviting me to join! 

I decided to go with the twist in this card and played with a large Taylored Expressions birch background stamp. I've heat embossed it on black card with liquid platinum embossing powder and then added some gold and white paint splatters for shimmer and "snow". The die cut sentiment is by Stamplorations. I quite like the modern feel this card has and I do think it's gender neutral as well!

Time Out Challenges Reminder

Hi friends!

I'm here to remind you of our current photo inspiration challenge at Time Out:

So many ways to be inspired by this photo, I'm sure you'll all agree! Play along for a chance to be called to guest design in a future challenge. This time our guest designer is the wonderful Angie, she is such a talented card maker, I always admire her work in all challenge blogs where I see her play along! Click here for all the challenge details and more DT inspiration. 

I was inspired by the white sentiment on red background, the wreath on the wall and the stripes in the cushions. The wreath stamp is by Altenew and the sentiment is by Winnie and Walter. I've colored the image with Copics and added red gems for "berries". Can't remember when I would have used patterned paper but I really liked it in this card! I hope you like it too and thanks for popping by!

New Challenge at Less Is More!

HI friends!

I'm here with my DT card for the new Less Is More challenge: That's Torn It. Very fun and unique challenge theme!

The month of November is sponsored by Catherine Pooler. 

Play along in all November challenges for a chance to win a fabulous prize and to be called to guest design for us in the future! Please head on over to our challenge blog for all the challenge details and more inspiration from our fabulous team. 

In my card I've used a wintry floral image by Stampendous and sentiment by CAS-ual Fridays. The base layer where I've stamped the flower is kraft card. I've first stamped it with regular black memento ink using my misti leaving the stamp in the misti for the duration of my coloring. After the coloring I've re-stamped the image with Versamark and heat embossed it with gold. I then glued the top layer with the torn window and did some extra tearing until it was to my liking. It still looked a bit boring so I did some inking for a more aged looked... It was starting to look very nice but then I sort of over did it and it looks a bit dirty now, yaiks. :) But... That's the way it is turn out. :) I added some Stickles detail to the berries and called it ready!

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

HI friends!

We have a new challenge at Inkspirational for you:

This often means CAS cards but my card is not very CAS because I stamped almost the entire background lol! The Christmassy flower cluster stamp comes from Penny Black and the sentiment is by CASual Fridays. I've colored the image with Copics and added some pen and glitter glue details. Really love how this turned out!
