Not square at WhoopsiDaisy

Hi everyone!

It`s monday and we`re doing the ususal deets over at WhoopsiDaisy. New challenge that is, lol. The theme set is: 

NOT A SQUARE CARD

For my creation this time i have made a circle card with lots of layers. I have used an image from sheet #431. I think she is soooo adorable.

Colours i have used:

Skin: Vanilla, Saffron, Oatmeal, Sunkissed pink, Tan

Hair: Cocoa, Mustard, Buttercup

Dress: Celestial blue (FM), Powder blue, Glacier blue (FM)

Wings: Lime twist, Lime zest, Aniseed (FM)

Flowers/grass: Coral, Pink mittens, Forest green, Pear green, Chartreusse (FM)

Mushroom: Tan, March hare, Satin, Shale, Burgundy, Berry red

Ground: Umber, Sandstone, Blender

Shade: Midnight blue, Twilight sky, Denim blue, April shower, Blender.

The big flower is from Prima, The Chrysanthemums and rosebuds are from Kort & Godt. Pearls and the last little flower is from Wild Orchid Crafts. I also made a little glasspebble using a little image from a Graphic 45 piece of scrap paper. You can barely see it in the bottom of the flower cluster. Papers i have used are the new Vintage spring basics by maja design.

I have also used a freebie sentiment from Kristin Langnes, available here.

Not too long ago i saw this tutorial on how to make extra texture to your paint. There was this fabulous lady that had this tutorial but i really don`t remember her name right now. If anyone know who i`m talking about please let me know so i can give her credit. Well...anyway, she put some sand in her acrylic paint to make some extra texture. I had to give this a try and you can see it around the edges and on the keyhole and the butterflies. The only difference i used gesso instead of acrylic paint. I had so much fun and i just looove how it turned out.

Well, that`s it. Just stay tuned course i`ll soon be back with a post on the new challenge at Marianne`s Design Divas. In the meantime you can allways pop over to WhoopsiDaisy challengeblog and join in on the fun. Thanks for visiting!

I`ll be back! :-)

Going in circles at Phindy`s Place....

...and it`s making me dizzy...lol...Hey everyone!

What a way to start a challenge! It`s allmost like my eyes are spinning, lol. So many circles, lol! No seriously...The challenge over at Phindy`s Place this time is Circles! For my sample today i have toned down my circles a bit compared to the others on the team. Though my card is round, i haven`t used papers with circle pattern. I think the image i used doesn`t fit too well with lots of circles so i made him a green "garden".


Green is not a colour i use as a main colour too often for my creations but i think i pulled this one off. The cute image is called Impish Elf end you can find it in Phindy`s Place store, right here. The sentiment is a freebie from Bizzy Becs store blog. And you can find it here.

These are the ProMarkers i used:

Cupid Cutie in black and white

Hey Everyone!

It`s soon to be weekend, and we are ready for a new challenge over at Phindy`s Place. This time we are going for creations in black and white. It is allowed with some colour in the image though.


For my creation this time i have made a round card. And i really like the way it turned out. I think the image is soooo cute. It is called Cupid Cutie and you can find it here, in Phindy`s online store.


We are doing some exciting changes over at Phindy`s Place. The first friday each month we are having Phabulous Phindy Phriday! This is an anything goes challenge, BUT you MUST use a Phindy image to enter, and you can make anything you want. You can also combine it with as many other challenges as you want. Isn`t it exciting?


So now you have plenty of time to make a creation for the first in every month. We really look forward to see a lot of Phindy creations.



Thanks for looking and for all the sweet comments. I really appreciate it!
