Frozen at Valentine? Well, this will warm your heart!

Penguins and butterflies... The scrapbooking world is full of them. And I sure understand why. They are my favourite too.

The penguin stamp I used on this card is yet another old one from my deep in my stash. It is a swedish design, made by Skaparkällarn, Pernilla Nilsson. I colored with Prima water color pencils. I love how the red balloon stands out from the picture. I think this card is perfect as a Valentine card.

I made the background with Distress oxides and splashed some water drops on it with my hand and drying it off with a paper to get the speckled snowy look.

With this card I enter weekly challenge at CASology. This time themed to"Frozen".

Hope you like it and got some ideas for your next project.

Card made after sketch with some Penny Black friends

It was a long time ago I had my box with Penny Black stamp. Every time I do however I fall as much in love with the old favourites as with my newer ones. For this card I used stamps from to different stamp sets. The whole colouring, both background and stamp motif are made with Distress Oxides. The card is made after a sketch in AAA Cards Game #131 - Sketch + Pastel Colors. 

As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to use the Friends-die and color the background and the letters the same and stamp some texture on the letters. After that I looked for stamps that would go well with the coloring and the friend-theme. I finished it off with the birthday wish and with adding white contours around the letters using a Posca pen.

Hope you like it!

B is for berries - ABC Christmas challenge

This is the second part of the January challenge for ABC Christmas and now we have come to B in the alphabet, as in B is for berries. And this is my entry:

I used the holly and the berry from a Hero arts stamp set I bought a couple of years back. The texts are from the same stamp set. It is stamped with color from Distress Oxides. I made the back with Distress ink and used the Nellies choice stencil "Swirls 2". Then I dug deep and used the very first Penny Black stamps I bought "Holly day Critters" it's called with this cute little fellow. I put them him on 3D dots to make him stand out from the background. And well I couldn't help using some Nuvo Chrystal drops to finish it off.

Hope you like it!

Everybody loves a good story

With some stamps you can compose a story, like an illustration for a fairy tale. Lavinia is perfect for those kind of projects and maybe that is the reason why I love them so much. In this card maybe I had a little of game of thrones in my head too. ;-) It is supposed to be a card giving strength and hope to the receiver. 

I used Distress oxides to color the background and then for or five different Lavinia stamps. I participate in with this card in the Lavinia challenge #1901 "A story to be told". It's ending the 25th this month.

Hope you see the story in this card and like it!

Go bananas with CASology

What do you do when life give you lemons. Make lemonade?? Naaahh. Go bananas instead. I love this textstamp. I think it is from Magnolia stamp. And the cute critters from Clearly Besotted goes so well with it. This time I'm participated in last week Casology Challenge - Fresh. 

I coloured the little mice with Distress Oxides. Same as I used for the background. I like the way the stencils turned out with the sour drops for the lemon and the hears for the sweet banana.
