Make Us Laugh @ I ❤️ ProMarkers

Hello again to you all
I’m here to show you my card for the new challenge over at

I ❤️ ProMarkers

The theme for this weeks challenge is
Make Us Laugh
-so I’ve tried to give my card a little humorous touch

Sponsor for this weeks challenge is
Dr Digi

I have used the image called
Aubery Bumblethope

I used Kraft cardstock for the card base and mats behind the DPs.
DPs are from Papirdesign and Making Memories.
Flowers are from Notabene and halfpearls from Papirdesign.
The stamped greeting inside the card is from Kort & Godt. The text on the front is stamped with a textstamp that is so old, I hadn’t marked it. I stamped it onto Kraft cardstock, then cut out and used parts of it.
The image i cut out with Spellbinders dies «Labels Seventeen».
All paper- and cardstockedges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.
And here’s my card:

Autumn Colours @ I ❤️ ProMarkers

Good Morning, Friends and Followers.
As it’s Wednesday it’s time for a new challenge at
I ❤️ ProMarkers

and I’m here with my DT-card, hoping to inspire you to join us for it.

Sponsor for this weeks challenge is
The Paper Shelter

The theme for this challenge is
Autumn Colours

For me autumnal colours are those warm, deep, earthy tones; brown, orange, red, yellow… So I tried to keep my colouring and embellishments most in those colours.
I made my card with an image from Kenny K.
I don’t know what this cardfolding is called, but I really like it.

Visit

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

Magnificent Men at Ooh La La

Hi Again!

We have a new challenge at

Ooh La La 

today.

This time I have chosen the theme - a rather difficult one
Magnificent Men
I find cards for men quite difficult to make; what can I use to decorate with, how much can I decorate it,   even the folding sometimes is hard to figure out…So I hope many, many of you join the challenge, to share ideas for your masculine cards.
No - it doesn´t have to be cards for a hero or a kind of superman, just for those everyday-men who also deserves a card for a birthday, a fathers day or simply to say "thank you"…

This is a foldingtechnique I´ve used for many of the masculine cards I´ve made.
Inside there´s a "pocket" that gives space for either money or a giftcard (for what do I buy for a man???)
I´ve used papers from OLL and an Elvis-image I found on the internet a long time ago. I saved it, ´cause I knew that someday I´d use it - and isn´t it just perfect with these papers?!

For more inspiration and wonderful creations, visit Ooh La La, to see what the rest of the girls have come up with :)

I´ll enter these challenges:
Love To Create #83 - Clean N Simple
Crafty Catz #198 - Mens/ Boys Cards
Totally Papercrafts #184 - Birthday Boys
Let´s Craft and Create #78 - Black & White

Inspector Em

Kenny K just came with 3 new steampunk burlesque digis, and the minute I saw this one,
Inspector Em, I knew I had to have it!
Everybody know I love crime, mysteries and detectives (Poirot, Miss Marple, Murdoch Mysteries, Midsomer Murders, Inspector Morse, Inspector Lynley… You name them, I love them all! Of course
I´ll love Inspector Em too!)
I had some problems photographing tonight, so the colours of the image seems much lighter than they actually are. They´re a bit better in the picture below, but still a little pale.
(Full list of colours and supplies further down).
I made the sprocket gears using tapecovered cardstock (scraps) and Spellbinders Shapeabilities Sprightly Sprockets. I embossed a few of them, after diecutting.
I´m not quite familiar with this steampunkstyle yet, but with so many cool images I just will have to keep on practising ;)
 The backingpaper on the frontside showed so little, i had to use it on the back as well:

Here´s the inside, I´ll post it even though the quality of this piture is rather poor:

Colouring:
Pro- and FlexMarkers:
Skin: Ivory, Dusky Pink, Tan
Lips: Coral, Sunkissed Pink
Hair: Walnut, Chestnut, Gold
Eyeglass: Blue Grey 1 (F), Soft Aqua (F)
Clothes: Warm Grey 1, 3, Tan, Putty, Mustard
Shadows: Warm Grey
And of course the Blender :)

March Christmascards and -projects

Tonday I have a lot of pictures to show. I hope you'll take the time in here to see them all.

Here's this months christmas projects - 5 of them, I'm still working on another one :)

Hjertebodens Julebloggs challenge in March is to use UTEE. We can also use Glossy-accents or crackle-accents to make a glass-like surface on the image.
So - that's what I've experimented with this month - and 4 of these projects are products of that :)
Sorting pictures for the blogpost I realized that all projects were made with Magnoliaimages - yes, they are a favourite, but I DO use other images as well...

Now, to the cards: First a sidestep-card, mainly in redcolours. Here I've used Glossy-Accents on the image only. Different papers from my christmaspaperscrapbox, with distressed edges.

Inside the card I used Spellbinderdies (Labels Ten) for the panels, fastened to make room for a tag underneath.

My second card is in bluetones, with a black-and-white image on. Here I used many layers of Glossy Accents on the whole of the frontcard. Then I put it into the freezer before I gently broke the "glass".
This card is made using 4 different sizes of Spellbinders Labels Ten, making three "cards", tied together with a ribbon.

Here you can see the three "sides" of the card:

And here's the three backsides, with greeting and snowflakes:

My third card is made in the same way as the second, three "cards" made with Spellbinders dies (Labels Fifteen). Here two images are cut out and put together, before I put on UTEE.
I figured I had to use UTEE on both sides of the image since Tildas feets are hanging out of the card - rather tricky to get both sides looking good...

The next two pictures show the insides with the greeting and writingspace:

My last project using UTEE is a tag, Here I covered a sentiment (Magnolia) with UTEE.

a closer view of the tag:

and the backside, with a simple "to - From" stamped on:

My fifth christmasproject in March doesn't have any UTEE or Glossy Accents on, but I'll put it in this post anyway.

It's a plane 6X6 card in brown and red, with a ProMarker-coloured Tilda on. I'm rather pleased with how colouring her clothes turned out :)

...need to show it closer ;)

Inside I used a Martha Stewart PATP-set to make the panels.

I hope you've liked my March-christmasprojects.
In a few days Hjertebodens Juleblogg will have a new challenge out, and I'm really ecxited to see what they want us to do in April.
I've loved the March-challenge - 'though I have small UTEE-pearls all over my workspace - LOL
