Photo Inspiration @ Inky Chicks

Hello again friends, followers and fellow crafters.
Tonight we start the new challenge at
Inky Chicks

This fortnight we have a picture to inspire you.

For this challenge we are
Sponsored by Creashop Duymelot

prize is a 10 Euro voucher

I found inspiration in the colours. Mainly the turquoise-ish coloured eye.
I made a little giftbag, after a tutorial in the latest issue of the magazine Ett Trykk.
 The image on the giftbag is one of Sherri Baldys My Besties.
It’s coloured with ProMarkers.
I was really surprised to see how much turquoise stash I had in my boxes and drawers…(but looking around in my room, I think I may have the stash to meet most any challenge).
The giftbag is made out of Bazzill Kraft cardstock, which I think worked quite well with the turquoise and white, and that it fitted the inspiration picture as well.
Behind the image I put on an embossed panel.
Both the embossing and the paperedges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.

Back of the bag, with a stamped, little greeting from Kort & Godt:

Happy Birthday @ Inky Chicks

Hi again, thanks for visiting my blog.
I'm here with my DT-project for this fortnights challenge over at
Inky Chicks
The theme for this challenge is a nice and easy one:
Happy Birthday

Sponsor for this challenge is
All Dressed Up

You can buy their stamps from their Etsy Shop

I have used the stamp called Fairy Magic for my project.
I wanted to make a papergiftbag, for this week challenge.
I coloured my image with ProMarkers and Glitterstickles (Glitterstickles on the butterflies and on the fairies wings).

DPs are from Pion, with inked edges (DistressInk WalnutStain). The backingpaper, behind the imagepanel, is a glittercardstock - thought it would look nice with glitteredges around the fairyimage...

On the butterflies (dies from Cheery Lynne) I used Glitterstickles.

On the back of the bag I used a greetingstamp from one of Storytellers new stampsets

Christmas in July @ Inky Chicks

Good Morning

I'm back with another christmascard.
This one for the new challenge over at

Inky Chicks

The theme for this fortnightly challenge is

Christmas in July

and the sponsor for this challenge is

Cult Pens

I made a pocketcard for this challenge.
On this one I used two Magnoliaimages, coloured with DistressInk - refills and markers.
To decorate the pocket I used MagnoliaDooHickeys, Martha Stewart Ribbon, Seambindingribbon, a snowflakecharm, two little bells and some Glitterstickles on the trees (Magnolia DooHickeys).
DPs are from Inkido. All paperedges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.
I sprinkled on a little Frantage Chunky White EmbossingEnamel around the image.
The reindeerimage (Magnolia, that too) is cut out and attached with 3D foam pads.
Textstamp (on the back of the pocket) is from Kort & Godt.
The snowflakestamps used on the insidecard are from an old stampset from TPC Studio.

The insidecard has lots of room for writing, so this is a christmascard for the long christmaswishes...

Here come all sides of the pocketcard:

Use a resin embellishment @ Inky Chicks

Hello again, dear friends, followers and crafters.
I’m back to give you a little inspiration for the next fortnights challenge at
Inky Chicks

The theme for this challenge is
Use a Resin Embellishment
-of course you can use more than one if you like…

I have made a tag for this challenge.
The tag is rather large, about 5 x 3 inches, and with the decorations about 6x4 ½ at the widest.
I felt it was ages since I’ve used a Magnolia image, so for this one I decides to do that, and to use DistressInks to colour. Long time since I’ve used those too…
On the tag I used laces, ribbons, cheesecloth, seambindingribbon, twine, a button, a charm, a pin, glitterstickles, real feathers and the resin feather.
I really love all of this embellishments, in fact I love to decorate my cards with as much as possible, so sitting with my pearls and couldn’t find anywhere to put them made me kind of sad…
Around the image I used Frantage Aged Ivory. The flowers are «decorated» with Frantage Shabby White. All paper- and paneledges are inked with DistressInk Walnut Stain.

The DP used (not shown very good on the pictures) is from Magnolia. Before I inked the edges i distressed them a little.

Here’s the tag:

Here’s my resin embellishment:

Close-up of the glittered greeting. It’s made with Cheery Lynn Dies:

Special Shaped Card @ Inky Chicks

Good Morning all crafters, friends and followers.
I’m back after a rather busy last week and weekend, preparing and celebrating my sons confirmation.
Today I’m here to show you my DT-entry for the next fortnights challenge over at
Inky Chicks
The theme for this challenge is
Special shaped Cards
-so no square or rectangular cards are allowed

Our sponsor for this challenge is
Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet

win is: 3 digi stamps from the artists that the DT has used images from / up to a value of $10

I used my scalloped circle dies from Spellbinders to make the card. The tag is made with a Magnolia DooHickey. The image is coloured with ProMarkers. On the wings I used some Glitterstickles, and around the image I put on a little Frantage (Aged Silver). Both DPs (inside the card) and ribbons are from Papermania.
The card is made as an easelcard, opened up (picture below), it has a little greeting saing «God Bedring» (Get Well). Behind this greeting banner I put on 3D dots, to hold the card in upright position when opened.

I think these two charms works perfect on this little card :)

I’ll enter my card into these challenges:
TTCRD - Anything Goes
Sentimental Sundays #210 - Anything Goes
Scribble and Scrap #20 - Always Anything Goes
4 Crafty Girls #19 - Anything Goes
Everybody Art #282 - Andere Kartenform

I’m an Inky Chic!

Hi, you all - big news today;
I’m an INKY CHIC
-yes I’m on the DT over at  Inky Chicks, and this is my first DT-entry for them.
I’m so happy to play along with the chicks - and by a look at my fingers on an ordinary day, I think I fit right in 😉
And if there should be any Glitter- or Glue Girls around, I’d probably play well amongst them too…
But - the theme for this challenge is
CAS
Clean And Simple
The theme I find the most difficult of all challengethemes…
And to be sure I didn’t step outside the rules of CAS on my first DT for Inky Chicks, I decided to make it really, really Clean and Simple - here’s just the cardblank, the DP, a little more cardstock for matting and the image (Magnolias).
The motive is coloured with ProMarkers - yeah, I love my ProMarkers 😍
