Karen´s Doodles Scandinavian Challenge #21 DT card



Hi there! It´s time set our last Karen´s Doodles Scandinavian Challenge and this is also a joint challenge hosted by our American stamping sisters across the pond at Karen's Doodles United States. The name of the challange is WHITE ON WHITE. Pretty simple, only colours on the image are allowed and the bagkground should be white.

I chose We Love You Dad as my image and coloured it with Promarkers and distressed the edges with Tea dye distress ink. I ran some white cardstock through my Cuttlebug machine to make the background and just added a piece of lace, flowers and three pearls to make my card. I was actually a bit bad and used a hint of distres ink on the paper edges so my card isn´t really all white.

Have fun crafting with your KD images...and if you were worried about me saying this is the last challenge, no worries, there are just a few changes to come. See you later!

Stamp with Fun #69 DT card



Hello and happy monday again! It´s time to Stamp with Fun and this week we´d like to see something made for boys or men.

...and here in my card is a hansom little dude sitting on a tree stump, both stamps are from Whiff of Joy. I have coloured my image with Promarkers and chose some lovely dp´s from DCWV´s Linen Closet paper pad. The corners of the background paper are done with a Stempelglede stamp. I also have added a bit of rustic feel by distressing the edges of my papers with ink and by wrapping a piece of linen string around my card. I made my card following the sketch at Friday Sketchers so I´ll be entering this creation there.

Have fun crafting!

Two birds with one stone or however it goes...



It´s that time again...what time you may ask...the time for another GD call at WoJ! So I guess it´s time to try again all though I´m not sure I have a big chance at getting that spot since I was priviledged to be a guest designer already in april and May. But who knows...there´s no harm in trying.

I also want to give my go at the DT call at the WoJ Challenge blog and followed their sketch as I was making my card. I combined two stamps, one from the first ever WoJ stamp kit and one from the newest, to form my image. I had actually seen this somewhere so I can´t really say it´s an original idea, but since the tree stump and this sitting Willow work so well together I had to use them. The colouring is done with promarkers as usual and the papers are from DCWV and K&Company.

I went a bit crazy with my layers... there are eleven layers of cardstock and paper plus that lace at the thickest part of my card and I was even going to add some flowers... I actually had my flowers chosen and some pearls and rhinestones ready when I decided not to use them. I think the card looks better this way and I didn´t really even know where to place my flowers without crowding the image too much. I guess less really is more LOL.

Have a great day you all!

Karen´s Doodles Scandinavian Challenge #20 DT card



Hello and happy wednesday! It´stime to set another Karen´s Doodles Scandinavian Challenge... and this week we´d like you to follow Nancy´s great sketch. So go check out the sketch at the challenge blog and join us in the fun.

I decided to follow last weeks challenges theme with a card for an older gent... and isn´t every man still a kid at heart? This hansom guy is called Mr. Fix It Grandpa and I have coloured him up with my Promarkers. The papers are from papermania and K&Company. Some brads and a swirl (done with my new Sizzix die by Tim Holtz) finish off my my card.

Have fun crafting with your Karen´s Doodles images!

Stamp with Fun #68 DT card



Hello and happy monday! another great week is starting and we have a new challenge for you at Stamp with Fun. This week we have again a lovely sketch for you to follow.

I have finally bought some Mo´s digistamps, YAY! I was asked to make a birthday card for a 75-year old crafter and remembered I had seen these gorgeous Mummu images drawn by Maurie J. Manning. I bought two and in this card I have used an image called Mummu and Virginia. I just loved colouring this image with Promarkers even though it took ages as the image is so detailed. So I guess Mo´s images aren´t the fastest to colour but they sure are worth the extra time. I have also finally ordered some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts...I think I´m hooked now and have to place a new order soon again (I keep stalking the store as the ones I like are sold out almost all the time). The papers in my card are from DCWV and K&Company and I´ve also added some old lace and pearls as a finishing touch.

Have fun crafting!

Stamp with Fun #67 DT card



Hi and happy monday! Last week flew by really fast and it´s time to Stamp with Fun again. This week we have a theme for you and that theme is fairies.

I guess my image is actually an angel but I thought it would still fit the theme quite perfectly...and I really have been neglecting this wonderful cutie by Diane Duda. I have done the colouring with Promarkers and the papers are from K&Company and Papermania. As ambellishment I have added flowers, lace pearls and rhinestones, so a there´s a lot of everything in this card even though the layout is fairly simple.

Have fun crafting!

Karen´s Doodles Scandinavian Challenge #18



Happy wednesday! Let´s have fun with Karen´s Doodles Scandinavian Challenge and this weeks theme of LOVE!

For my card I have used lovely I Love You Grandpa and coloured it with Promarkers. I didn´t use any dp´s and embossed some white cardstock with my Cuttlebug. I have applied some ink to the embossing folder and then embossed my cardstock. I have only three pearls as embellishments... I had some flowers and string on but decided to take them out as the card looked better without them. I thought that it was a bit pointless to add something that wasn´t really needed LOL.

Ok, so you should know the drill by now... have fun with your Karen´s Doodles (digi)stamps!

Happy monday! It´s time to Stamp with Fun again. This week we have again a lovely sketch to follow, so have lots of fun making your card with Andrea´s sketch.
