TGF - Jumping in the leaves!!!

I made a birthday card for a guy who is into hiking and scouting, so TGF retro-fresh challenge was the perfect inspiration!

I used leaves from i am roses that I coloured with different greens from Lindy stamp gang (sea grass green, green with envy green and gator gumbo olive) and green leaves from prima, that I sprayed with LSG sea grass green. I also used LSG green with envy green and gator gumbo olive on the leaf trim. I also throw in some mini dew drops by Robins nest in the woods:)

The background is also made with sea grass green and my moijito green and so sparkly. The background stamp is a stamp from Vilda and the fern die cuts is from scraps of the background paper with a memory box die. The wooden sign says celebration and is from Prima.

So fun with leaves now that fall is here!!!
Thank you for visiting:)

Pink Attitude

The Greeting Farm's FFF is all about pink in honor of October breast cancer, as this cause is especially close to my heart I had to snap out of my coma (my card making rate has been somewhat low lately) and actually come up with something. I also teamed it with TGFSC32 by Jas:)

I love this stamp from the creepers crew set. So I'm thinking a lot of strong fighting attitude for this cause as all women who fight breast cancer have. I paper pieced her dress and bow, coloured her hair pink.

For her skin I tried out a new combo, ivory and cherry white. I think it hit the mark, I wanted her to have milk white skin. To make all the pink pop to the chocolate brown. The brown back ground with script is scrap pieces from Prima paper I belive. The pink paper is scrap from the Mariposa collection.

I used die-namics from MFT, a tab and the fence. If you look closely you can see the wood embossed. I toped it of with some pink twine and trim, therefore I will also enter it in really reasonable ribbon's challenge 57, RRR57.

The flower is gardenia petals from IAR sprayed with LSG salt water taffy and cosmopolitan pink. So a lot of pink shimmer there for SSS challenge glimmer & sparkle. But my favorite is the ribbon charm which says HOPE - I could not believe my luck when I got them in a mixed pack of charms from ebay.

Hope you like it and my thoughts to all the brave ladies and their loved ones!!!

Thanks for visiting!

My first appearance on The rubber Buggy's design team

Hi everyone!!
Wow it's already October, is it just me or does anyone else wonder where summer 2012 went? I don't know about the rest of you, but let me tell you, here in Sweden it has been a lousy summer. It had not even begun before it was gone and now it's raining constanly - again!

So it's a good thing I got the Rubber Buggy to cheer me up - LOL!
This is my first participation of a DT and 'boy am I excited!
If you have not checked out my teamies yet - hurry! They are all super talented and so creative!

Here is first card my card for the Rubber Buggy, can you believe that as a Swede I have never worked with Magnolia stamps or paper?! Well, that's about to change - they are wonderful!!
