I got this idea the other night, and so i started drawing ideas and measures and stuff on a piece of paper. And yesterday I sat down to start folding :) I have 4 pieces of paper, just in case! And I used 2 bazzills to make it, no tutorial whatsoever on it, and well.. as you can guess, it took it's time!!!

As mentioned, the base took 2 brown bazzill's. The sides are covered with a DCWV Tradewinds paper,and a MME Laundry Line glittered paper. A T. Holtz keyhole is in front too.

The lid is fastened with a scrungy, and I've added brads and magnets on my "straps" so they hang down nicely. The scrungy is fastened using knots and eyelets.

My back has a stamp from Sweet Pea stamps, The Koi. She's coloured with ProMarkers. The flowers are Kort og Godt, and WOC. Bling-swirls from Prima.

The feet are from Tim Holtz (I love them!!!), and the metal-handles are some old metalldecos that I use for anything and everything. All the edges are lined with Stickles Cinnamon.

Both inside and outside the lid i used a Graphic45 map-paper from the Tropical Travelogue pad. The "leatherbands" are brown bazzill accented with Distress Walnut Stain and Bloack Soot.

Inside and the edges on top has the Tropical Travelogue fish-paper and borders.

Details of the flower-clusters and bling-swirls.

but more than that the marriage is

one to share you nights and days with

and a friend to laugh along with

2012-01-22T10:00:00.001+01:00

I made an Easel Shakercard for this one, using black bzzill as my cardstock. On it I've used first one lyer of wallpaper in a grey/blue/copper shabby style.Then i've used one layer of snakeskin copper-wallpaper with a black layer to give it some more accents.

the shaker-window is Core'Impressions Graphic45-series. I then found a solid needle and started scraping out a window in the middle of the paper, giving it a rough and ripped look. The edges are accented with Stickles Copper in a random and "dotted" pattern, made on random movements. Behind her is a wetroom-wallpaper in the shape of a tiled wall.

The All That stamp is coloured in Promarkers, and then added Stickled Diamond to shoes, sweater and hat. The colours used are: 932, 914, 995, 938, 1002, 915, 937, 1004, 1069, 1072, 1074, 950, 947, 929, 946, 997 and 928.

Inside my window i added bling, 2mm clear and some 4mm smoked topaz.

Stickles Magenta around the edges, cornerpunch Mideval flourish, Prima bling, and a charm;

"Rules dont apply to me"

Blingswirls from Prima, ivy and parrot-flower from unknown brand, grey rose is Kort & Godt, and the golden/cream one is Prima.

ProMarkers Colouring-tutorial

2012-01-18T18:24:00.001+01:00

I was kindly asked if I could make a tutorial for my colourings - and yet again; than you sooo much for asking me! it's a huge compliment :)

This is going to be a long post, with alot of images, so I hope you all last through it, and that you find it helpful.

I posted the card this is coloured for just a few hours ago, so you can all go see it right HERE.

Most important for me is to work on smaller sized areas, so that I can work fast, and wet on wet.

I decided on a digi from Sureya as my pic for the tutorial. I start with the hair, using fine-nibs because it needed to be small. Colours: Lavender, Lilac, Aubergine, and the Blender.

First i use the Lavender, leaving the parts that would be closest in the picture open. Then i use the blender to smoothen the transmission from Lavendar to white.

Then i add Lilac to the pieces that are further back, and smoothen it with Lavender. I then add more layers of Lilac in smaller and smaller patches, to give it more depth.

Here's the hair all done. As you can see, only the parts that are the furthest away gets a layer of Aubergine.

Moving on to her dress and roses, the progress is the same, but here i fill the entire space with Soft Peach first. Then i add some Coral before i use Soft Peach to smoothen the transition

For her wings i used warm grey 2 and 5, and Black. First cover it with WG 2.

Then add WG 5 to the parts that are shadowed, ans smoothen with WG 2.

Then I accented with Black before i added some WG 5 to make it all blend together.

The same was done with the halo.

For the skin I start with Ivory, covering the entire surface of skin.

Then I add Vanilla in the places that could be shaded, blending with Ivory.

Then i add Saffron to the most shaded spots, before again using Ivory for blending.

For her blush i use Pastel pink and Salmon pink, dotting it on, lighter under and the darker on top (less dots of dark than the light)

Then i use Ivory to blend, and by using the lightest skincolour, I make sure the blush becomes lighter and looks more right with the skin.

I the add gold to the bracelets, and colour the eyes. These eyes i did with Poppy, Mandarin, Gold and Canary. Add a "kaching" to her halo, and it's done :)

here are the rest of my triplets...

And the done card!

I hope you found it useful :D

My tiny Triplets

2012-01-18T16:33:00.003+01:00

I saw this sketch, and I fell inlove - I thus got a great idea for it, and here is my result.

Here are my triplets. I'll give a colouring-tut on the top left one later tonight ;) The same colours are used on all of them, so what you see then is the scheme for all of these 3. Top left is Sureya, top right is Make it Crafty, and the bottom one is KennyK.

The card is lilac bazzill with DCWV linencloset Silver/grey paper. Graphic45 peach paper creates frames for the triplets

A bow is placed in the center with added charms to it. Around the frames i used Gunmetal Stickles.

Prima Hawaaiian blend Waterlily.

My decorations are metalflowers with prima bling, and Prima flowers. This lilac one is centered by a foiled bling.

Steampunk SketchBook

2012-01-17T12:33:00.001+01:00

I had this old book that was falling apart, I think i got it alongside som books i wanted from an second-hand shop. In any case, I dont have any relationshhip to it, so I figured I'd take out the pages and use my Bind-It-All to give it a new inside.

The book is covered in a crumbled paper that i coloured black and red, and then added golden embossing-was to the crubmples of. I used a Tattered Time DCWV pper on the front, and scraped around the edges. One corner is curled down and added a charm to.

I coloured Capt. Locke from KennyK with my prismacolours in rich red and green.

I crackle-painted to Disty Attic cogs with silver, and added watchparts, bling, and some metalflowers.

The charm attached to the corner is fastened in a brass chain, and is a brass angels wing that i got from a "make it yourself" keychain. The straps are painted with brass cracklepaint, they're Tim Holtz chipboards. I added brads and bling for accents.

2 prima flowers, one red rose with gold, and one green featherd flower. Also added green and black WOC roses.

2012-01-17T12:03:00.001+01:00

So, i used pink dotted bazzill, with papers from Graphic 45 Once upon a Springtime-stack. (8x8) I added limegreen bling, and glitterglue Lime, Turguoise and Pink.

Better to stay inside between the meals, and so this card I made today, while preparing everyone for a dinner with the rest of the relatives.

Something to keep the cold nights brighter

2011-12-10T12:32:00.001+01:00

I found the challenge over at SimonSays challenges that set my mind rushing.. I really wanted to make something for the photomontage-inspiration; but i didnt want to make the normal card, as i already have alot of cards for this christmas. So my min started churning and clonking and I decided on making this thing, no tutorials or measures, just an idea.. And i like the ending! I hope you do too! :)

Lantern! Made from SEI Winterson Snowglobe, with white and light blue bazzill.

The paper has been divided into 2 main pieces, and the bottom has been cut around the pattern to fold a foot.

The main piece fits into the footing and allowes me to lift it when placing the electrical candle inside. Also it can be used for a small xmas-scene of stamps etc.

DustyAttic plaque misted with Twilight and Pearl, and paited with white cracklepaint.

Snowman stamped and coloured with Promarkers. Also decorated with Stickels Crystal.

Flowers from WOC and Kort&Godt.

Distressed and misted music-sheet, misted with Vanilla Breeze and Coffee Shop.

Corine flower from Prima (Luv'em!)

The roof has gotten snoa-accents with Stickles Crystal on it, and has been misted with Pearl and Twilight.

Loads of flatbacks added to it :)

I think the pics dont quite show the paper used, It's this from SEI, Wintersong SnowGlobe.

The white is all glittered snowflakes, and under the fold are the trees on the base.
