Autumn @ I ❤️ ProMarkers


Hi again.
Wednesday again, which means it's time for a new challenge over at 

Sponsor for this weeks challenge is
Live & Love Crafts


Theme for this challenge is
Autumn

How you interpret this is entirely up to you, but please remember you must use either ProMarkers, FlexMarkers, TriaMarkers or AquaMarkers and of course follow the theme to be entered into the prize draw, if not your entry will be deleted.

We would prefer that you have Word Verification turned off on your blogs, this slows us down so much when we go to leave you lovely comments.  If you have it turned on, then we're very sorry but we won't be able to leave you any comments, but your entry will still be entered into the prize draw.

My card for this challenge is kept in orange and brown tones, much like the autumn.
DPs are from Basic Grey.
The image is from Sherri Baldys My Besties, and of course it's coloured with ProMarkers.
The brown leaves have been in a box for years, haven't found the right use for them before... Can't say I have used orange flowers too often either, but (of course) I have bought flowers in orange too - who knows what might come handy one day...
I used quite many pearls and blingstones, Glitterstickles on the flowers, Ribbon and twine for the bow, and attached a heartcharm to the bow. I also found a piece of brown lace that I think look qiute nice on this card. All paperedges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain (my favourite DistressInk)
On the insidepanels I put on two (really old) leafshaped brads.
And here's the card, hope you'll like it:

Blueish Christmascard


Hello again dear friends and followers.
I have made a christmascard again.
This time with an image from Sherri Baldys My Besties.
The image is coloured with ProMarkers, and around it I put a little Frantage Shabby Chic (oh, how I love that stuff!) 
I used DPs from Authentique and lots of dies - different brands. Some of the snowflakes have got a little blingstone in the centre.
The paperedges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.
Underneath the "imagearrangement I tucked cheesecloth - I think it gives a little feeling of crispy snow together with the snowflakes.
Inside the card I put on greetingpanels made with Spellbinders dies. The greeting is stamped with a textstamp from Papirdesign.
The die used on the back of the card is one of my newest. It an Xcut Docrafts dies and I just LOVE it! I've bought two different of these little dies, and think they're just perfect for a little "Backside touch" on a card.
Well, enough talking. Here's my card:

My project for this challenge is an altered chocolatebox (a wooden box from Lofoten Sjokolade).
Every christmas I use to make different candies and chocolates, and always need something pretty both for storage and to give away.
I used DPs from Martha Stewart Crafts. The tissue papers inside the box are also from Martha Stewart.
The image is from Sherri Baldy, IMG 700, of course it's coloured with ProMarkers.
I put on some Frantage Shabby Chic around the image.
I decorated the box with different snowflake die cuts, cheesecloth, lace, seambindingribbon, red and white christmasbells, hearts made with dies and a punch (MS).
Some paperedges aer inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.
The textstamp inside the box is from Papirdesign.

Sizzix Intricate Tribal Florals


Hello again everybody.
I have received a new dies-set Sizzix Thinlits InticateTribal Florals from Sizzix, and today I want to show you something I made with it.

Sizzix Thinlits Intricate Tribal Florals (660500)

I used the set to make a Pop-Up Box Card.
Great fun!
To make the card I used most leftovers, both cardstock and DPs.
Making something like this, in such bright and bold colours is way out of my comfort zone, but it was actually both fun and satisfying. So now it has it's place on the shelf over my workdesk, as a proof that I can use bold colours too...
Here's the Pop-Up Box Card, from different angles:




The card can fold flat and put in an envelope to be given away (I'm sorry for the poor picture):
