Oh so Lovely (-; !

This card, with another D. Greenwood inspired handmade flower -( Here's a tutorial for it in English, ) was made to fit the following challenges:

Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab (picture) - "Oh so Lovely" and OTWC color challenge (the collection was closed when I tried to enter, but it's now open again - hope it is still ok)

Kraft Journal's (Spring Fling)

Simon says challenge - (anything goes)

Skipping stones design (sketch) -I've flipped it!

Spring Rain in Paris

This card is for Moxie Fab World's Stamping with Shimmer Sprays Challenge in the Moxie Fab World and

for Kraft Journal's spring cards and There she goes stamp kraft cardstock.

I've used shimmer spray to get the rain effect. The flower is the same type I made for the Tuesday trigger a few weeks ago - die cut flowers from 20 sheets of silk paper. Then I almost drenched it in spray which caused the "petals" to curl up - which I think gave it a really nice look and when it all dried the flower was golden and much harder than before - which was a great effect (and great if you're planning to send your card by mail) and I will definately be making more flowers like this for my cards in the future.


Have a great week, hugs Karin

A Yellow Window Card with Paper Piecing!

This week I combined the inspiration I got from the fabulous Tuesday Trigger picture with the paper piecing challeng at Moxie Fab world and made this yellow window card (my favorites!!!). The stamps I've used are from Hero Arts and PTI.
Unfortunately the colors are a bit lighter in the pictures than in reality due to me having to use the flash )-:
Sweden really is too dark this time of the year! Can't wait for spring to arrive!!!
Have a great day, hugs Karin

Papertrey February Blog Hop Challenge

From PTI for the February Blog Hop: "This month we decided to dedicate the Blog Hop to scallops!  We want to see your best use of scallops, of any sort, on a project!  This can include scalloped borders, offset-scallops, stamped scallops,  scalloped mats, scalloped frames, layered scallops, scalloped tags or anything else you can dream up! You can use dies, patterned scissors or even circle punches in a row to achieve your special look."
This is my entry. Stamps are from Tiny Treats Christmas and Up,Up and Away.
I will also enter it at the floral challenge at the creative cottage, and my source of inspiration (the flower) was the sweet and oh soo super talented Danielle Greenwood - for the "inspired by" challenge at wee memories
