Spider Henry for Nicklas

Susie is going to her "boyfriend's" birthday party next week, and she wanted Spider Henry on the card.... Image is coloured with Promarkers. Text is handdrawn by me and the web in the background is a freebie from Tiddly Inks I downloaded a while back (can't find the url for it though).

Two cards

Monday again... I think Monday is becoming my favourite day of the week.... Maja at school, Susie at nursery, hubby at work, and me at home - alone! So I let housework be housework and dig out my papers and stamps instead! Today I finished this card:
Again, I have borrowed a stamp - one of the Gorjuss girls- from Renate. I have coloured her with Promarkers (Cocoa, Cinnamon, Dusky pink, Blush, Vanilla, Blossom, Ivory, Duck egg, Cool aqua, Red, Rose pink and Cool grey 2). Image panel is mounted on 3d foam. I have used Tilda papers and a MS punch. The edges is distressed by scraping a pair of scissors along the edge and I also added a bit of ink around the edges.

I had fun, the other day, crocheting some small cotton flowers. I have used one of them on this card. I put the bead from a decorative foam flower through the middle hole in the crocheted flower before gluing it to the card....

I also have a second card to share with you today... woohooo! That's not like me, is it? Two cards in one post... hehe... I made this card last week while visiting my friend Randi. I know, I know... two cardmaking visits in one week! Lucky me! It's so much fun meeting up with friends to talk and make cards and share stamps and ideas.

I have borrowed the Henry mouse stamp from my friend. Isn't he the cutest? He was coloured in (with Promarkers) while I was at my friends house, and I was too busy chatting away that I forgot to make a note of what colours I used... Papers from Nille, and again I have used some of my chrocheted flowers. I tried colouring one in with a Promarker, but I'm not sure about the effect.... Sentiment is made with a couple of different alphabet stamp sets and says "Hooray for you". Edges are distressed with scissors and I have also drawn a couple of lines round the papers with a pen.

Thanks for looking & have a great week!

Super hero

I have always admired the Whiff of Joy stamps, they are all so beautiful, but I don't have any myself.... well, I didn't until I found this cute freebie of Henry the mouse as spiderman a while ago.
I have coloured Spider Henry with Promarkers (True blue, Sky blue, Red, Cool grey 2, Rose pink, Blossom, Cocoa, Cinnamon, Vanilla and Ivory). DP is from the Black and white prints paper stack (8x8) by DCWV . Sentiment is computer made and the cobwebs are hand drawn. Image panel, sentiment and webs are mounted on 3d foam. I have also tried my hand at some distressing of the edges... that is something I rarely do, but I quite liked the effect... and there's a bit of tulle added to one side.

Thanks for looking!

Sweet sweet baby!

Instead of spending the morning out in the sun today, I sat at my kitchen table playing with my papers and stamps... You gotta have your priorities right... lol...
This card would be good for either a new baby or a christening, I think. I have used a stamped image that I won in a candy a while back. I believe it's by Whiff of Joy, but don't shoot me if I'm wrong.... Image is coloured with Promarkers. Of the top of my head, I can't remember the colours I used, and I can't be bothered to go downstairs just now to check... I have made the flowers myself.... the big one is made by two circles and a corner rounder punch and the smaller ones is made with two punced flowers. Leaves and swirls are drawn by hand. Image panel is mounted on 3d foam.

I have used this weeks sketch at Cute Card Thursday for this card.

I'm also entering it into challenge #45 -Anything goes, at Stampin' for the weekend .

Two in one...

Well, this time I've managed to enter two challenges with one card! Yay!

The very first challenge over at the new challenge blog Stampin' for the Weekend is "From Dusk to Dawn" using the colours purple and yellow. And I have also used sketch #54 from Sketch Saturday for this card.

All the four triangles in the corners and the mats behind the girl and sentiment are the same paper. It doesn't really look the same on the photo, but it's a pearlescence paper and it was really hard to capture in the picture.

The image is from Whiff of joy. I don't own this stamp myself (wish I did though) but I was so lucky to be able to stamp some images when I was over at my friends house making cards the other day. Thanks a bunch Randi Anita. Image is coloured with water colour pencils...

This is the sketch I used:
