Mojo monday challenge no 111 and some exciting news...

Boy, do I have some exciting news today.... I've got myself a JOB!! Woohooo!! Nothing's on paper yet, but the headmaster at Maja's school promised me a job, starting January. I'll contact him a bit closer to Christmas and work out all the details, but he has promised me work 3 days a week. I'm sooo excited! On the other hand, that means I can no longer spend my whole days with Susie... I can't remember if I already mentioned that she has got a place in a new built nursery (it's not quite finished yet...), anyway... she is starting nursery at the end of this month (if the nursery is finished by then...lol...) or beginning of December. So this is going to be a big change for both her and me... and for the rest of the family too, of course, not having me at home all the time....

Well, over to my card. This card was made using sketch 111 from the Mojo Monday sketch blog. You're probably bored by the stamp I've used by now.... I know... It just happens to be my favourite at the moment...Image is coloured with water colour pencils, and I've matted the image on some soft pink pearlescent paper... the off white strip to the right is also same type of paper. I think you can see the shimmer in those pearlescent papers a bit better on this pic...

It's really hard to photograph my cards at this time of year... not much daylight, and lamp light gives the photos the wrong colours... ach well, you get the idea....

A wedding card

I don't seem to get into blogging again after the summer hols.... a week or two between posts.... not good, not good at all! And everything I post about is stuff that I made a week or two before I got it posted... hrmph... I'm gonna try to improve....

Anyway, here's a card I made weeks ago... not for anyone in particular, just wanted to try out a new technique. I masked a heart shape on the card and rubbed ink directly onto the cardstock and stamped some swirls on top... so no fancy papers here....
I used the wedding couple from the Caketopper set by The Greeting Farm, the sentiment is from Kort og Godt and the swirls and butterflies from.... hmmm... can't remember what company right now and can't be bothered to go downstairs to check it out....

The couple is coloured with water colour pencils and mounted on pop dots for dimension and the butterflies are only glued down in the middle so that the wings stands up a bit....

Thanks for looking and a big thank you to those of you that still checks in and leave nice comments even though there is so little news in here...
