I've used three different stamps to create this scene and all is coloured with copic markers. I've put stickles on her dress and on the paper flowers, if you've put your name on the newsletter from Kellie, you know these will soon be in store. The flowers are coloured with LSG a bit o'bubbly.
It's been some time since my last post, but I'm back now and I'd like to show you my DT-project for The Rubber Buggy.
I made a card using paper from Graphic 45, Prima and Magnolia. The blue background is from G45 6x6 paper pad, solids and patterns from the new collection steampunk spells. And the two layered papers are from Prima engraver and Magnolia once upon a time.
I've coloured a few of the daisies with LSG a bit o bubbly and clam bake beige - they turned out gorgeous. The key is from Graphic 45 and tied to a button from my stash with twine from the store.
The doily is a die cut and I've layered a circle which I've stamped a Magnolia background on. The sentiment is a stamp from MFT.
Hi everyone!
I wish to share a layout that I made for the Rubber Buggy. Love this Magnolia paper, so fun and easy to make your own. Here I have stamped
and splattered the paper with LSG to make is more personal. And the wood grain has a
beautiful white colour which makes it so easy to coordinate with colors
and seasons :) The memory box delicate fern die is perfect as the fern is very common in Sweden and it adds just the perfect touch. I've tied some jute twine to enhance the country feeling to the page. The butterflies are fuzzy cut from graphic 45 paper and I've added some dew drops in coffee (from Simon says stamp, although I find the colour more orange).
This time it's SUMMER FLOWERS!!!
Inspired by the beautiful Swedish summer and "Midsommar" I'd like to see all of your flowers :)
Flowers are my favorite embellishment. I'm having a hard time not to put a cluster of flowers and leaves on my projects. I like the look of a bouquet, so once I start it can be hard to stop me from adding more and I also count die cuts and sprays as embellishment to my cluster of flowers - LOL!
Anyway, Swedish midsommar is all about flowers (apart from the food, the drinks and having a good time). We dress a pole in flowers and leaves to dance around, girls are wearing flower garlands and tradition states that you must collect 7 different flowers from 7 different fields to put under your pillow and you shall dream of the man you shall marry.
If you follow me you'll know that I could not resist the project life trend :)
Last week I showed you how you could make your own project life kit with just a paper trimmer and a corner punch with Prima almanac collection for the rubber buggy.
This week I will show you how you can continue even further with some addition of stamps and bling.
Again I've used some digital prints to embellish the paper from Prima Divine on the outer two 3x4 cards. I then stamped sentiments on the top right corner, down left corner and the "lucky me". Just as I did last week - I once again fussy cut elements from the collection and made small banners. I used the washi tape from the divine collection as well. On the bottom right corner I used some bling as well :)
The only card that is left untouched is the 3x4 with tiles - that one has only rounded corners.
I hope you try it yourself:)
I hope you all had a good weekend and are ready for the upcoming week:)
Today we have a new challenge at Anyone for Anya - it is due for the photo inspiration.
Here is my card using one of my fav beanies as a little wood fairy.
I'm also entering this card in the following challenges:
TGF GVT - anything goes
TGF retro-fresh - layers
My apperance as a guest design for MB's Treasurista has sadly come to an end and this will be my last creation. I've had the best time ever and Misty has been so generous and kind beyond my wildest dreams. I would also like to send a big big bear hug to all of my fellow design team members for welcoming me so warmly team - they are just truly amzing! Not to mention the MB's Treasurista fans for all their lovely and encouraging comments - bless you all :)
My inspiration for today's project was the card sketch and colour combination from CCL's weekly challenge and with the 4th of July coming up - this was simply perfect.
So check out the store, Misty keeps adding new products all the time!
Also, I had some blog candy during the father's day hop, so Mary Beth - congratulations! Please, contact me so I can send some MB's Treasurista goodies to you :)
For more inspiration, please visit the MB's Treasurista blog!
Thank you everyone for your wonderful support during my time as a guest design - I hope to see you all soon again!!!
I have a little different DT-post for you today. Instead of a card of a layout I wanted to show you how you easily can make your own project life kit.
Yes, I got sucked right in to this trend and I love the feeling of achivement even though you've barely finished a quater of the spread - LOL! I also caved in and bought a Becky Higgings core kit which is wonderful. But as I was thinking... One could just cut paper, round the corners and make these pocket fillers yourself.
So here I'm showing you a set with the Prima Almanac which you can find at The Rubber Buggy.
I've just cut the 6x6 paper in order to fit 4x6 and 3x4 pockets, rounded the corners and embellished them with cut outs from the element sheet in the paper. If you want a printed card there are lots of free downloads on the net, just google "project life downloads and print on designer paper. See the upper left 6x4 and the outer 3x4 for printables.
Apart from the second 3x4 from the left everything has been embellished with cut outs from the same paper pad as the rest of the paper. I've only used glue and TH tiny attacher to fastned them so all of this came together really fast.
Please, join me again next week at The Rubber Buggy were I will show you a spread of project life with Prima Divine paper pad.
