Have you seen the new images from Bildmalarna yet? If not you HAVE to hop over to Bildmalarna Stamps to check those sweeties. I am sure you will love them all as much as I do.

The card I show you today is made with sweet Pig...

Below you can see a close up of the image.

I made the coloration with Distress Inks and added some Frantage around the image and some Stickles onto her wings to give a sparkling effect as you can see well on the photo...

Some more close ups of my embellishments below...

Music for Coloring

Hi everyone, I had an idea and want to show you what music I am listening while coloring... most time music is a must while coloring. Below you can hear the song I actually hear up and down... remembers me on past times and still a great dance track... loved it years ago and still love it today... Hear...

From now on I will share with you my coloring music from time to time... hope you enjoy.

Deep Ocean Challenge meets Sweet Pea Stamps

Hello my dear friends and visitors. Great to see you here again. Over at Deep Ocean Challenges we have a new round for you. And we have a great theme for you. At least one I just LOVE... this forthnight we want to see

FANTASY

So many possibilities with this theme, don't you? For my project I used one of the fabulous images available at Sweet Pea Stamps. I made a more clean and simple card... well, for me it is, compared with the cards I usually make with lots of embellishing. But I thought this beautiful image has to stand for its own. It is from Helena Reis and is called 'Mending a Broken Heart'. It is available as Digital Image.

I made the image quite big and paper pieced her dress. The coloration is made with Copics. I addes some Stickles to her wings and some crackled paint to the heart... to let it look like a broken heart.

Now we look forward seeing you joining us. Thank you so much for looking! Wish you a happy day.
Hugs, Karina

Alva Color from Bildmalarna Stamps

Hello everyone, today I show you a card I made with sweet Alva Color available at Bildmalarna. She is so beautiful and a pleasure to work with. The gorgeous papers I used are from the Soft Collection.

Below you can see a close up of the image. I colored her with Distress Inks. For once I stamped the image with brown ink which gives a totally other effect. 

And some more close ups below...

Have a wonderful day now! Thank you so much for looking.

Artist of the Week at Sweet Pea Stamps

Hello there and welcome to our Artist of the Week at Sweet Pea Stamps. This week we from the team had a play with the gorgeous images by 'Charmaine Flannery'. I chose to create a card with 'Snowflake Owl'. This image is available at Sweet Pea Stamps as a Rubber Stamp and as a Digital Stamp as well.

 

 

I wanted to make a wintery card and used 'cold' colors for my project. I made the coloration with Copics and added some Stickles above her eyes... love her big eyes!

And some more close ups of my embellishing...

Thank you so much for looking. Wish you a happy day now.

Whiff of Joy Challenge - Pink, Brown and Creme

Hello and happy day everyone! Today we have a new challenge for you over at Whiff of Joy Challenges. And for once we have a color combo for you... one of my faves...

PINK, BROWN and CREME

Love this combo. Below you can see the card I made, using one of the new and just released sweet images. I had a play with 'Owl love you dearly'. 

Here you can see a close up of the image. I colored it with Copics. As you can see here I added some glossy accent to the heart. I stamped some 'French Vintage Postmarks' around the image.

For the bunting I used the Banner Trio 2' Die-Lights. And look this sweet owl charm! It is from the 'Box of Charms - Owls'. Soooo great... many different owl shaped charms... LOVE them! This one I used have empty spaces where the eyes are, so you can add some matching pearls or gems, just as you wish to have to perfect match to the color scheme of your card. So I used two pink gems.

Now we look very much forward to see you joining us!
Have a wonderful day now.
Hugs, Karina

Mannequin for Bunny Zoe's Crafts

Hello and good morning everyone! Today I want to show you a card without a colored image for once. I thought this gorgeous Mannequin die from Marianne Design have to stand for itself. Doesn't each Mannequin want to be in the Spotlight? :o).

For my card I used the gorgeous new papers from My Mind's Eye 'Heirloom'. It is already sold out... no wonder... but I am sure Nikki will get it back in stock soon. The corners are the Anja's Vintage Corners from Marianne D too. I added some Iridescent Flat Back Pearls - Angel White onto the dress, and some bigger Flat Back Pearls onto the corners. I decorated my card with some Flowers.

All those items are available at Bunny Zoe's Crafts.

Thank you so much for looking!
Wish you a happy day now.
Hugs, Karina
