Happy SpringtimeBirthday

This might be a post with very little text. I've tried several times writing, but everything seems to disappear...

Well - here's the latest birthdaycard I've made - in springcolours :)

The image, Tilda from Magnolia, is coloured with ProMarkers.

I've used papers from Mjajdesign, and distressed all edges. The panels are sewn together.

I used lots of flowers (from Prima, I think), blings, lace, ribbons and bows, pearlstrings and charms. I squeezed some liquid pearls around too (I simply LOVE Liquid Pearls!)
Underneath Tildas panel I made room for a tag (Magnolia DooHickey) and stamped a greeting on each side of it.

Now, before the text disappears, here's four more pictures showing the card. The first with the tag pulled out, the second shows the inside, the third the backside (where I used my personal stamp). The last is a close-up showing Tilda (and the liquid pearls...)

The springtimecoloured birthdaycard will be entered to these challenges:

Trick-or-Treat-Bag

We're now into the second week of Fussy and Fancy Fridays "Fall or Halloween!"-challenge, so if you haven't joined yet, you just have a few days left...
The Design team have made lots of cards and project to inspire you - not to mention all the entries we've already got in - Gorgeous!
Be sure to hop over there to see and join in!

This is my DT-entry for the challenge - for idea and inspiration :)
I've used a digistamp from Bugaboo - isn't this Trick-or-treat-dressed girl just adorable!
I've had her for some time, but wanted to save her for some special occasion - like this :)
Yes, she is coloured with ProMarkers, and I've used a white Sakura Gelpen to highlight some parts.
The orange DP is from Panduro, a really heavyweight paper, a tough job for the Marthe Stewart Punch to punch through...
To close the bag I used a black brad (the zigzagborder below the image is also a brad), as it is easyer than a bow, for children to open and close...
Here comes two more pictures of it, from different angles (not the backside, it is just plain, with the same DP, with distressed edges...):

My Trick-or-Treat-Bag also goes into these challenges:

Fussy and Fancy Christmas

Over at Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge we have the challenge "Christmas in July" going on.
I hope my Pocket card here can inspire you to join us in the challenge.
On my card I've used a digistamp from Bugaboo Digi Stamps.
The image is coloured with my (beloved) ProMarkers.

This cardmaking I've seen on YouTube, in a video from the wonderful Stampin'Up! Demonstrator Dawn Griffith - her videos are so good. She both shows and explains everything so well, and has such a lovely voice - you can hear that she loves what she's doing :)

On the insertcard I've stamped a christmasgreeting. The stamp in the circle is the punched out of an identical digi as the one I used on the outside of the card (just printed slightly bigger).
The circle is attached to the insertcard with a 3D-foampad, so that the insert card sort of "hangs" on the edge of the pocket (Dawn explains this much better than I do ;) )
The red ink I've used around the edges is scented with cinnamon - it gives such a "christmasfeeling" to use it :D

Now: click on to Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge, to see what the rest of the DT has made, and check out our lovely sponsors
