Paper Bag

2012-05-18T17:15:00.002+03:00

Hi!

Oh finally it´s friday and weekend has arrived. Although we have a quite cold day with raining and cold wind. But I hope the sun will shine tomorrow :)

I´m so excited to show you the paper bag which I´ve made yesterday.

Why I´m so excited is because I finally manage to get me this beautiful Summer Tilda With Bowknot. I`ve always admire this stamp and wanted to have it to myself. So I bought it straight from Magnolia and I was so happy when the package from Borås arrived the other day :)

Summer Tilda With Bowknot is from Shabby Chic Collection 2008 and I´ve coloured her with Distress Markers.

I´ve used Magnolia Doohickey Heart Swirl Branch. Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Kort&Godt.

Border punch is from Martha Stewart and small circle stamps on the corner are from Penny Black.

Made With Love - text is from Magnolia A Little Yummy For Your Tummy Collection 2009.

Papers are from Prima and I´ve sewed all the edges and inked with Distress Ink - Walnut Stain.

Few more flowers.

Just for You - text dies are from Marianne Design and I´ve painted them with crackle paint - Picket Fence, but sadly it doesn´t show.

Well I hope you did like paper bag :)
Because I have a little suprise for you...

You want to have this paper bag to your self?

If you do, now is your chance!
I´m going to give this paper bag with some suprise goodies on it to someone..:)

If you want to take the risk and win this paper bag to your self here´s what I want you to do...

All you have to do is put your name on Mr Linky below, put this pic in your sidebar on your blogs and link back to mine.

Easy, right :)

And follow me if you want to :)

I will draw the winner on 1st of June.

So good luck :)

Tilda With Balloon

2012-05-17T15:00:00.000+03:00

Hi My Friends :)

I hope you are all well and been able to enjoy the sunny weathers.

I myself am still struckling with spring flu, and hoping it´s getting better soon,

because this isn´t so fun.

Today I have new card to show you.

Tilda With Balloon from You Are So Special collection.

I think she looks so pretty with her balloon.

I´ve coloured her with Distress Markers and embossed few silver swirls around her.

I can´t remember the manufacturer of those swirls, sorry. I`ve got them so long time ago and actually just found them few days ago from my stash.

I´ve used four different Magnolia DooHickey dies for this card: Scalloped Tag, Heart Flower Lace, Heart Swirl Branch and Vintage Keys.

Here you can see those beautiful Vintage Keys little better. I´ve added Matte Accents from Rangers on them and also some Stickles - Star Dust.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Kort&Godt and I´ve added some star Dust on the flowers too ( except light pink one from Kort&Godt)

All papers are from Magnolia and all the edges are sewed and inked with Distress Ink - Walnut Stain.

Here you can see how I´ve used a corner/border punch from Fiskars. I`ve had it for a while now but never tried it before. Now that I have used it for the first time, maybe I use it again :)

Thank you for visiting and have a lovely day :)

I´ve coloured Tilda with Distres Ink refills.
This stamp is one of my favourite one.

All these beautiful decorations are from a dear friend of mine - she gave them to me a long time ago, thank you so much :)
I´m so glad I could finally use them :)

Papers are from Basic Grey and Prima. All the egdes are sewed and inked with Distress Ink - Walnut Stain.

New Magnolia Card - Edwin With A Starfish

2012-04-09T10:17:00.000+03:00

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all have had a wonderful Easter Holiday :)

I myself have enjoyed my Easter Holiday very much :) Sun has been shining almost every day and snow has almost melted away.

I think the Summer is on it´s way here :):):)

In my Easter holidays I have been practising my colouring with Distress Markers - and a lot :)

And I´m so happy to tell that I´m starting to be a pretty satisfied for myself now :)

And I just love those Markers more more every time when I´m colouring with them :)

And I´m getting so much faster - when I´m colouring with Distress Ink refills, to colouring one image it takes almost 1,5 hour to colour,

but with Markers it takes only about 45 minutes :) wow!!

How great is that - more time for making cards :):)

And now when I´m getting faster with my colouring and after getting my new Spring Stamp Club Kit from Magnolia just before Easter Holidays - how convenient ;) I have a new card to show you made with one of the new Magnolia images and coloured with Distress Markers :)

And here´s Edwin!!! -holding a starfish and I love him :)
I don´t know the real name of this image yet, so he´s just holding the starfish now ;)
And look at those two shells, aren´t they great :) They are from the Stamp kit too :)

Here´s a close - up of the image

and as you can see I´ve been playing with the white paint again :)
Like I told earlier, I´ve coloured the image with Distress Markers and I´ve used Canson Montvall 300g watercolour paper and they worked together so well :)

Smaller Seashell from the Stamp Kit.

And magnolia´s Doohickey die - Lovely Fence.

And here´s the bigger Seashell.

Also the papers are from magnolia - older ones though, and I´ve sewed them and inked with DI - Walnut Stain and added some white paint too.

I hope you did like my card and of course Edwin too :)

Thank you for visiting my blog and wishing you all a wonderful day :)

Take care everyone :)

but I like the result anyway :)
