A tiny castle

A birthday card for a young princess. It measures 6x6 inches when flat. The front and the back are folded in halves. The cute stamp is Sassy Princess Marci by La-La Land. :-)

Gone Fishing!

Been home sick for the last four days. Not very common for me, but I guess it has to happen every now and then as I'm in contact with so many people every day through work. I've mostly stayed in the sofa - listening to the radio and drinking blackcurrant toddy. I've also colored in some stamp motifs, and tonight I even made a card! The stamp is Gone Fishing Luka by La-La Land. :-) (the sun and the balloons are just drawn by hand) The thread is waxed linnen thread. It's really easy to shape in the right positions, and secure with a small drop of glue.

Thanks for visiting!

 

 

Christmas coming up...

October already! I should have started two months ago... These last few months until Christmas will be flying by. They always do. I made this year's first Christmas card today. It's hard to find my mojo, probably because I so rarely make cards these days. But I just got a large order of stuff in the mail, and I really hope I get to use it all in the weeks to come.

On this card I've used some of my all time favorite papers by Cosmo Cricket (they are old, but gorgeous!). The stamp is by  Wild Rose Studio, and it's adorable! It's inked with brown ink, and colored with Promarkers and colored pencils.

The Secret Garden

Two updates in one day! Well, aren't I the wild one? Another card with a stamp by Sarah Kay and Stampavie. Papers by Graphic45. Coloring with Copics, Promarkers and Inktense pencils.

This made me think about "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I loved that book as a kid. :-)

Happy New Year!

Hi all!

Wow, not much creativity going on in this blog lately! Weird, I actually made quite a few cards this christmas, but they were all made for a fair, and I guess I just didn't take the time to snap photos and posting them online. But they were all pretty clean and simple... no wow-factor really.

I made these two cards today. Some of my oldest digital stamps for PapilioStamps - and I still love these images. Actually, these were the first stamps I drew, because I made these before I produced any rubberstamps, and I never had the guts to send them to production. I just didn't know if anyone would like them. After years, I released them as digis instead...

Coloring was done using a mix of Copics, Promarkers and Derwent pencils. I resized the images to fit the small (8,5 x 13,5 cm) cards.

Naughty or Nice?

This weekend was spent at a large crop with lots'n'lots of scrappinstampin chicks! Too fun, and I heart all the creative ladies out there. I've really been wanting to lay my hands on some of these super cool girls by KennyK, and when I found them in one of the shops at the crop, I couldn't resist getting a few of them. They are so awesome! I had such a great time coloring these babes! 

The cards are all quite simple. I have a hard time concentrating on complicated projects while in a room with 120 other women *lol*. I wonder why! But I guess we're all different - 'cause there was some really stunning creations going on in that room! I had a great time :))
