Vintage Confirmation

Confirmation - this time of year again. And this year I had a confirmand myself.
May 15th was my daughter, Heddas, confirmation.

I love making card for confirmations, especially girls confirmations.
I've tried to make this in a vintage, shabby-like style. I've used laces, frantage, cheesecloth, seambindingribbon, a flower and a ribbon with printed confirmation text. I mounted the image on to a panel made with a die I think is from Spellbinders.
As base for the card I used Bazzill Kraft cardstock, finished size is 4"X6".

The inside is folded to make pocket for a gift card (or money) inside:

Jul, Nyttår/ Feiring @ Storyteller

Good Morning all Crafty Friends and Followers.
Sunday, 2. sunday of advent, and it’s starting to look a little like christmas around here - but still I have lots to do; cleaning, baking, wrapping, decorating… But most of those things are just nice things to do - even the cleaning before christmas is SO much cozier to do than it is the rest of the year!

Today I have 2 blogposts coming. This first one is for the new challenge over at
Storyteller

This challenge will last for 4 weeks, so you’ll have lots of time to join in.
The theme for the challenge is
Jul, Nyttår/ Feiring
(Christmas, New Year/ Celebration)

For this challenge I’ve made the wrapping for a box of chocolate. The chocolates are called Mokkabønner, and are coffeeflavoured, coffeebeanshaped little chocolates - REALLY GOOD!

To make the wrapping I’ve used:

Cardstock: Bazzill

DPs: Imaginisce

Dies: Spellbinders

Stamps: Storyteller

Ribbon: Storyteller

Pins: 2 from Making Memories, 1 homemade

All paper- and cardstockedges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain

No Patterned Papers @ I ❤️ ProMarkers

Good Morning Friends and Followers.
I hope I’ve done things right this time to get the post scheduled on time. Sometimes it works just fine - other times I mess it up…
Anyway, I try to post my DT-entry for the new challenge over at
I ❤️ ProMarkers

I hope many of you will join us for this challenge, which has the theme

No Patterned Papers

Sponsor for this weeks challenge is
Visible Image

No Patterned Papers - a rather tricky challenge, I thought at first. But having thought it over a little while I had the plan for my card.

I’ve used cardstock from Bazzill, an embossingfolder from Cuttlebug («Snowflakes») and dies from Spellbinders, Wild Rose Studio and KaBoks.
I inked all edges with DistressInk WalnutStain.
The little penguin image is from Magnolia - of course it’s coloured with ProMarkers
(Warm Grey 1-5, Pumpkin, Arctic Blue, Pastel Blue and Blender).
I sprinkled on a little Frantage around the image («Chunky White» and  «Shabby White»).
All dies-parts are put together with 3D-foam pads.
Inside the card I stamped and embossed (silver embossingpowder) a christmasgreeting with one of the new stamps from Papirdesign.
Here’s how my card turned out:

The image «North Pole Pingy» from Magnolia:

to read about the prizes, and to see what the DT girls have made to inspire you.

Here’s my DT project for this challenge.
My backing paper is made of old newspapers. Torn into small pieces, thoroughly wet, then put into «frames» with a few dried flowers, flattened and dried. I prefer making papers outside, as this is a really messy work…
I also used an embossed piece of paper on the book mark (Cuttlebug D’vine Swirls embossingfolder) - for that’s what it is; a bookmark.
The image is coloured with ProMarkers, for the glasses I used Glossy Accents.
Around the image I put on a little Frantage Aged Copper

Backside of the bookmark:

Inside of it I put on two magnets, to hold the bookmark in place inside the book

Mermaids @ My Besties

Hello, and good morning to you all.
The last days have been absolutely beautiful. Sunny and warm. Hedda and I have been on a short little trip, shopping, going to cafès, I had the car controlled (nothing wrong with it, thank heaven!)
And of course I bought some new crafting "stuff", only "necessities" though...😉

Today there's a new challenge over at
My Besties International
This time with the theme
Mermaids

You just have to visit the challengeblog, to see all the lovely Mermaidcards the rest of the DTgirls have maid! Wonderful creations, I promise!
If you join the challenge you can win lovely My Besties images too

Sherri has some wonderful mermaids in her shops, where you of course can find of her images too
Sherri’s Etsy Store
Scrapbook Stamp Society
My Besties Store
You'll find the mermaid images gathered here

I have used IMG044 for my card.
The image is coloured with ProMarkers and some Glitterstickles. On top of the image I put a ziplock bag, filled with a little blueish coloured hairgel (with some tiny stars and a little glitter in). This gives such a wonderful illusion of water, I think.
The DPs used on the card are from Graphic45, and the dies are from a Spellbinders set.
The seashells are shorefindings from many years back (washed and dried, of course), now I've only got 1 left, so it might be time for a new "seashellfindingtrip". The shells are glittered a little.
The circleshaped hole in the middle is made with Spellbinders Circles Large. Around it I used LiquidPearls to make a pearlborder. In the corners I put on halfpearls.
The seahorse"charm" is actually one of Heddas old pearls - oh, she has so much lovely pearls and stash from younger days, that Ican use almost free now 😍 

Paperedges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.

Inside the card. DP from Graphic45 here too. The stamped greeting is from Storyteller.

On the back I used one of the cut out sheets from Graphic45 as well

Closeup of the image and the "water". What looks like orange brushstrokes are actually a kind of glitter (one of those things you buy, then never find any use of - now I've found use for it)

I hope to see your card in the
Mermaid challenge
over at
My Besties

I'll join these challenges:

Brown Sugar #103 - Sea & Sand
Simply Create Too #66 - For a Child

Embossing @ I ❤️ ProMarkers

Hi again.
I’m back to invite you to the new challenge over at
I ❤️ ProMarkers
This weeks challenge theme is
Embossing

I’ve used heatembossing on my card,
but you are free to use dryembossing as well, if you prefer that
-or maybe both…

Sponsors for this challenge are
Milk Coffee Stamps

and
Marianne Design

Visit
I ❤️ ProMarkers
to see what prizes they’re offering this week,
and to see the projects the other DT-girls have made
- L O V E L Y artwork, I promise you


I chose heatembossing, because I wanted to use UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel) on the image. I put on 3 layers of the stuff, and got a thick, glossy, kind of glasslooking surface on the image.
The image is Img303,  one of Sherri Baldys My Besties.
The image is coloured with ProMarkers before I put on the UTEE.
The greetings on the little labels (Magnolia DooHickeys) are embossed with Goldcoloured embossingpowder. Greetingtexts are from Storyteller.
DPs are from MajaDesign. Flowers are Papirdesign - just put on some Glitterstickles - I just love the fantastic sparkling of the Glitterstickles!
And, as you can see; all paperedges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.

ProMarkers used to colour the image:
Skin: Ivory, Dusky Pink, Blush, Sunkissed Pink, Tan
Hair: Buttercup, Tulip Yellow, Gold
Clothes: Pastel Blue, Blue Pearl, Denim Blue, Arctic Blue, Sky Blue
Shadow/ Background: Glacier Blue (FlexMarker)

Flowers/ Leaves: Blossom, Pink Carnation, Rose Pink/ Pear Green, Olive Green
Blender
For the white dotted highlights in her hair and on the dots on her clothes I used a white GellyRoll marker.

I’ll join the following challenges:
Sketchy Colors #216 - Sketch
Through The Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
Fan-Tastic Tuesday #41 - Anything Goes
Creative Knockouts #42 - Embossing
