Snowflake and Faux Stitches

Hi every one.

Another challenges are due at the House of Cards, and this month you have to make a card with stitches real og faux.

I have used the faux one, and could not decide the one to use so I made 5 card, using faux stitches in different ways. 

So here they are.

The die have used is Large Snowflake from Impression Obsession, it is great for inlay work.

I have use diffrent leftovers i blue and white. And made the cardbase from ColorCopy paper 250gr.

Here I have used my TH marker and made line like inn a quilt, Tried to make a little batiq background and used a white Sakura gel pen in those area. I also had a ribbon with stitches in the same way and a paper with stitches on.









Here I used the negative space of the paper after diecutting the snowflake. Inked with TH distress ink and after just dotted line alonge the egdes with a TH marker

 

For this one I used my ruler and started with the line diagonaly from corner to corner, and made stitch line along both egdes and moved the ruler lined up with the last line. Did that in both directions. Used a TH marker. Stamped som snowflakes I punched out of foam and sprayed a little water. Did cut out some snowflakes i white paper edged and used clear Wink of Stella on them and layered them with foam tape. The bacground paper had a lot of holes and thoug they looked like stitches too.

 

When I started this I thought to make simple cards but that is a hard one for me. But managed to make this farly simple. Here a used a trasing wheel from may sewing stash. Did press hard so the diples was easy to se. Took a TH marker and made stitches between them. This is a way to easy make even stitches. I took a lighter color and frihand the line inside the first stitches.

 

For this one I also used my trasing wheel. Rolled it over my ink pad and lined it up with a ruler and rolled across the paper inn diffrent directions. When I was done i thought it was to plaine and picked up several blue TH markers and dotted the lines and I got the look I wanted. I recomend to do this before you glue your images to the paper.

So this is my cards for this months challenge, hope you enjoy them, and hope to see you card in the challenge.

Boks av harde Bokpermer

Hei igjen.

For litt tilbake laget jeg en en oppbevarings boks til min far. Så han kan putte små stasje sitt i, så slipper han å høre på mor som klage på rote hannes. 

Snille skrappe venn Mariann kom innom med et gammelt leksikon så boksen blei stor og fin. Takk Mariann. 

Brukte bare permene og laget en boks-innmat i litt tykk kartong og lime på div metalla ogchipboard bokstava, 

og malte gesso over det hele.. så va det bare å begynne å grise med div sprayer mist og maling. 

Når dette va tørt fikk den litt mere sølv farga metaller og blomster. 

Inni dekte jeg med mønsterpapir, og i lokket laget jeg lommer så han kan putte lapper og beskjeder han vil tavare på. Eldre folk tar jo vare på alt, kan jo hende dem får bruk for det.. hehehe. Pynte litt med blanke metall hjørner her også. 

Fylte med litt stasj te far te dagen hans og ble veldig godt mottatt som vanlig av han.

Framed Card and HOC

Hello everyone.

Ready for the August Challenge at House Of Cards, here it is:

This month the cue is Metallics, use or do anything that you relate to metallics.

I have a little celabration as a DT at Hoc. One year I have been on the DT team. Thanks Mynn for the oportuneti and a great leader.

To my card I choose to make a Framed crad, my first try. And I also used a soda can and cut it. Played with my alchol markers, But I will get me some liquid alchol inks and sulotion to play. There's so many ways to play with these. 

I punched out some flowers and shaped them. Glossy accent and microbeads finished them of. The rest of the can I did embbossed with a embossing folder and used as a background for the flowrs. 

Tried to show howe the frame is build up.

Cardbase is Bazzill silver, and background papers are from Prima. Egde papers with memento ink. I have used diffrent dise from Tonic Studio and added metal studs as embelishment. Used Wink of Stella clear pen on all the diecut pieces to get some shimmer.

Stamped a quote on vellum and heat embossed it in silver. .

Lollipop cards and HOC

Hi friends.

Time for another challenge at the House of Cards. 

And the newest trend here i Norway are "Lollipop-cards". 

So I wanted to try that and I also wanted to color again, have been a while since the last one. 

Been a while since I had colored so that was a challenge to. I have som favorte artist and this time i choose some from Aurora Wings, take a peek at all her lovely digis. I colored these with my Prismacolor pencils, and I have not forgotten how to.. :)

All the lollipop-cards I have seen have all been round, and you know me... I had to do it my own way, ... so you see mine ended up oval and I got to use my new Spellbinder die. And my paper straws have dissapeared, so I just used normal plastic straws. Not as pretty but they work. 

Flowers are from Wild Orchid,

On the back side I stampt some friend text from Storyteller also the blings are from them.

These are so easy and fun to make and you can use flower sticks instead of straws and stick it in a flower pot as a little extra decoration or with clearbag of a treat for any occacsions. 

I challenged my self by using yellow and orage colors, but I had to make one useing one of my faveorite color combos, blue colors.

Here is the inspiration photo we had to work with.

Treasure chest - Skattekiste

 Hi all.

In this post I will show you my first 3D work. I've designed this from scratch in Silhouette program and cut it out with my Portrait. 
I had fun working on this, although it took me some days :D 

Must say I'm pretty proud of the result.

Created this as a gift for my nephew who was had his confirmation this May.
One of his hobbies are graffitti, so I hade to use drops and splatter too.

Do you want to see? Here it is.

I have made the chest in kraft cardstock. Used an embossing folder it looked like wood, 

for a realistic look.

Fittings , locks and hinges , I found in the Silhouette Store. I cut them out in black cardstock. Used some Silver Inka-Gold to get a worn look on all the black pieces. And placed a black enameld dots on the spots there should have been a spike. Hide the magnets in the front and in the sides. And stylish feet I needed to have too.

And to the fun part. I made a stencil in acetat for splatters in different sizes and used Pearlize paint and a lot of diffrents sprays with it, Glimmermist, Stephanie Bernard and Mister Huey's. 

I also use these to get droplets on the chest togethet with Trion acrylic paint markers.

The big flowers accedently got sprays and mist on so I just sprayed water on them and they turned out fine. Flower from WOC and Petaloo.

 Fore embelishment I used watch parts and springs and dark bling stones

Well hope you like this and got inspired, Thanks for looking.
