Elzybells #35

Still having lots of trouble with my computer but am able to upload pictures and post here so it can't be too bad.

This is a card I made for Elzybell's fortnightly challenge and this one asked that you made your own designer paper. Well, I am still in the mood for christmas card (wonder how long it'll last). The corners of the card has been stamped and heat-embossed. I then stamped some swirls onto grey paper in black and red. The parcels are covered in gold glitter glue.


Ingredients:
Stamps: "Eskimo gifts" from Elzybells - the swirls are from Crafty Individuals
Paper: Paper Mill Shop
Inks: Versa Magic "Dew drops"
Ribbons: stash
Charm: Bunny Zoe's
Colouring: Prisma pencils + blender

Thank you for swinging past my little cloud and have a lovely day, Mette

Kraftin' Kimmie #14

Not having much luck with my PC this year - viruses, file corruptions etc etc. Good job I know someone who can fix it for free :). And hopefully he's gonna build me a new and better PC soon.

Anyways, I wanted to share this card with you. I made it for the Kraftin' Kimmie challenge which was "No embellishment". Did I just hear a "gasp" - well, it's actually not that hard as the Designer Paper itself can work as embellishment. Again I have done a christmas team and used this super image. I have used Rangers ink to give the edges a little colour.


Ingredients:
Stamp: Antoinette by Kraftin' Kimmie
DP: DCWV "Christmas Wishes"
Colouring: Prisma + blender

Sugar Bowl # 27

Well, seems like everyone and everthing is getting a virus at the moment. My kids have been poorly and for the past 10 days my PC has had a nasty virus. Yes yes - silly me opened an e-mail and WHAM, infection. So my friend has formatted the PC but it is taking ages to re-install all my stuff and I don't feel the PC is working properly. Roll on April when I get an upgrade which will make the PC 10 times faster.




I have managed to make a few cards during this time and I would like to show you this card made for the Sugar Bowl challenge. It is a super sketch and I have used this lovely image by Elisabeth Bell. Isn't she gorgeous??? I went with summery colours as I can't wait for spring to arrive.

Ingredients:

Stamp: Sweet n' Sassy by Sugar Nellie. Sentiment by Hero Arts (embossed)

Papers: all from stash (trying to use some of my old papers).

Colouring: Prisma colours + blender

Thank you for swinging by my little corner and hope you have a crafty day, Mette

Mojo 121

For the new year I have had some resolutions. 1. is to get in a few more Prisma pencils which are missing from my collection, 2. is to use items I already have in my stash before rushing out to buy new stuff - although I would love to buy it all lol and 3. well, I don't know about the rest of you but I have found that with all the new and gorgeous stamps being released all the time together with the easy availability of digi stamps my "old" stamps are gathering dust. I do feel a little sorry for them and have decided that I will use them again. I am gonna put a limit to the amount of stamps I get this year (let's see if it lasts lol).

And I am starting with this lovely stamp from Sugar Nellie which I used for this week's Mojo challenge . She was one of my first stamps I purchased when I first started in 2008.

Ingredients:
Stamp: "Picking Apples" by Elisabeth Bell
Paper and ribbon from stash
Colouring: Prisma pencils

Thank you for swinging by and hope you have lots of crafty moments, Mette
