Åhhh, kjære vene!

Så lekre motiver, det kribler jo i fargeleggings muskelen ;)

***************

Have you seen the new stamps from Bildmålarna?!

Ohhh, my!

So awesome images, it really tickles my coloring muscle ;)

Prøvde meg på en litt shabby chic stil :)

Med revne kanter, og bølgepapp!!

Det synes jeg er så lekkert, men har syntes det har vært vanskelig å bruke...

Men ble veldig fornøyd med hvordan kortet ble til slutt :)

*********************

I tested to make a shabby chic style :)

With some torned edges, and corrugated cardstock!!

I think that is so beautiful, but i myself think it is so hard to use...

But i love how this card turned out in the end :)

Noen ganger får man lyst til å lage noe man sjelden eller aldri lager,

og nei så vanskelig det kan være!

********************

Sometimes i want to make something i doesn`t make very often, or never has made.

And oh my, and it is so hard to do to!

Det er selvfølgelig CAS kort jeg snakker om ;)

Så vanskelig å la være å legge på masse perler, blomster og sånn!

*****************

It is of course CAS cards i am talking about ;)

So hard not to put on pearls, flowers and such!

Kun brukt dies, og tekster fra North Star Stamps ♥

Svinger innom en tur idag,

med ett gutte konfirmasjons kort jeg har laget :)

Jeg er ikke så veldig flink med disse gutte/herre kortene,

men med masse inspirasjon fra kjære Anne Kristine på Ski treffet,

så synes jeg att jeg har fått litt ideer til å gjøre kortene mine litt mer tøffe :)

**********************

Swinging by today,

with a confimation card made for a boy :)

I am not so found of making the boy/mens card,

but with lots of inspirations from sitting beside Anne Kristine on the Ski Craft gathering,

i now think i have gotten some ideas of making the cards a wee bit rougher :)

Kortet er laget som ett lommekort,

med en tag på innsiden :)

Metalltape som er embossed og malt med svart akryl maling.

*********************

The card is made as a pocket card,

with a tag on the inside :)

Metall foil tape is embossed and painted with black acrylic paint.

Ha en super dag,

Jeg har laget ett lommekort til idag :)

Og selve lommen har jeg laget av kalkerpapir,

så den er gjennomsiktig, og man får en anelse av hva som er på innsiden ;)

*********************

I have made a pocket card for todays post :)

And the pocket itself is made of tracing paper,

so the pocket is transparent and you get a peek of what`s inside ;)

Nydelig sommerfugl borden, den er jeg virkelig glad i :)

Kalkerpapiret er embosset med embossingfolder som fulgte med e-Bosser.

*******************

Gorgeous butterfly border edge, i love it :)

The tracing paper is dry embossed with a embossingfolder that i goth when i bought my e-Bosser.

Sommerfuglen er klipt ut ifra borden :)

*****************

The butterfly is cut out from the border :)

Banneret er egentlig ett god jul banner,

men jeg har maskert vekk teksten, og satt inn en mer passende tekst ;)

*******************

The banner is a Merry Christmas banner,

but i have masked away the text and stamped another text ;)

Og slik ser tagen ut  :)

*************

And this is how the tag looks like :)

Nydelige motivet ♥

Dette motivet ble fargelagt til Kreativ Scrapping sin farge inspirasjons post :)

*****************

Gorgeous image ♥

The image was colored for the inspiration thread over at Kreativ Scrapping :)

Dobbelt panel, så man kan skrive en personlig hilsen :)

******************

Double panel, so i can write a greeting :)

Og baksiden av lommekortet :)

**************

And the back of the pocket card :)

Ha en superduper dag,

klem fra Maya ♥
