Bröllopskort i marint tema ...!

Jag fick en beställning på ett bröllopskort för en tid sen. Paret ska gifta sig på västkusten och deras bröllopstema går i marin stil... Efter lite gnuggande av de berömda grå hjärncellerna så började jag pysslandet i lördags och detta är resultatet:

Det var en väldig tur att jag hittade ett snöre/rep i rätt ton i mina gömmor. Det hjälper till att förstärka den marina känslan på ett så bra sätt!

Och här är insidan:

Material:

CS i Kraft

Mönstrade papper från Maja Design's serier "Skärgårdsliv" & "Lantliv"

Clearstampsetet "Dilly Dally" från Making Memories

Textstämpel med kärleksord från Panduro

Washitape från 7 Gypsies

Textstämpel "Forever and Always" från Inkido

Bling från Doodlebug

Grattis Farmor!

Igår fyllde min lilla Farmor 93 (!) år. När jag skulle posta kortet så var det som om himlen öppnade sig. Kuvertet blev plaskvått på 10 sek och när kortet kom fram trodde Farmor att det var posten som hade misshandlat det...! Men så här såg det iaf ut innan det postades...!

Vimplarna (clearstamps "Dilly Dally" från Making Memories) har jag stämplat två gånger spegelvänt mot varandra så att jag kunde vika dem dubbelt om snöret:

Det gröna prickiga partiet är ett canvaspapper från American Crafts. Ger en härlig struktur:

Material:

Week 4 Color Combo!

Well. we've entered the 4th and final week of the Summer Card Camp. I'm really gonna miss all the tutorials, videos and great inspiration... Anyway - here's the last Color Combo Card from me:

I was really inspired by Jennifer's card this week and therefore tried to make my own version of it. Just hope that the ink on the acetate will dry and not smear, since I'm gonna send this card with the mail...

 

Embossing and dimensionals...!

Materials used:
Patterned Paper from October Afternoon and Letterbox
DieCuts from Letterbox
Woodgrain background stamp from Hero Arts

Scallop Border Punch from Fiskars

Week 3 Color Combo!

It's another week and we're already half way through the Summer Card Camp... Time really does fly!

This week we've been given yet another color combo - and I have to say - it's my favourite combo so far...! So I tried to use another one of Kristina's sketches from last week to combine with this week's colors - and here's what I came up with:

Materials used:

Brown Bazzill CS

Red Bazzill CS - border punch from Fiskars

Kraft CS - stamped with the woodgrain background stamp from Hero Arts

Strawberry stamp from Swedish HellaBella Design, colored with distress inks on 200g watercolor paper

Patterned paper from Maja Design

Baker's Twine from We R Memory Keepers

White alpha stickers from Basic Grey

Sewing machine

Button brads from Scandinavian Panduro Hobby

Week 2 Color Combo!

The second week of the wonderful Summer Card Camp has almost past... It's Saturday night and I have finally taken some time away from "life" to put together my contribution for this week's Color Combo.

This is what I came up with, using sketch #1 by Kristina Werner:

It says "a little GIRL" in Swedish and is going to be sent to my former co-worker who just had a little baby girl! Always love when you can combine fun with the need-to-do stuff!

Here's a close-up of the coloring. Actually this is a version of a technique I tried out today for the first time. I've done it before, but never with Distress Ink Colors. I've used a blender pen to pick up the Distress Inks, just like Kristina did in her video, and found out that it works fabulous! Excellent when you don't want to mess with water and brushes - and much faster too! Love it!
