Challenge # 92 at A spoon full of sugar.

This is to be a recipe book as you can read :O)

It is not completed yet as I still have to decide what kind of paper I am going to put in it before I put it all together with my 'bind-it-all'.

I will take some propper photos of it when it is finished but since I followed the rules for challenge# 92 at A Spoon Full of Sugar I have to enter it now as the deadline is very soon :O)

Time just ran out on me!

I have used bassil, Tilda stack ' frosted blue green' , text I printed myself, the Motiv is Willow sitting on her stol writing Recipes. The flowers are punched from the same Tilda stack, The button is also Tilda.

I have used wax cotton from my stæsj box and Ribbon from The lovley Wenche :O)

Creative Inspirations Challenge # 48

I just had to make a card for this challenge at Creative Inspirations, where the rules where

'say it in sepia'

Its not a very 'busy' card, but i think it works ok. Although my husband (I always ask his opinion) mentioned that the actual card/background was very white, i didn't think it mattered because it joined together the watercolour paper used to stamp on and the paper i used to print out the message on. What say'eth you?!

I have used some scrap card, Bazzil and some ripped paper from a box of chocolates (consumed ages ago, and not only by me ;O). Flowers from Storyteller, and a bronze flower with a heart that I have attached with string - all from Minne Hjørne.

The girl is called 'Willow with hot chocolate' by Elisabeth Bell, and I have painted her with my distress ink - Vintage photo, then cut her out with nesties.

The Ribbon actually has a beautiful damask pattern on it if the light catches it the right way, and my scanner didn't catch it, dispite several attemps :O( Anyway it was a present from my friend Wenche, who picked it up whilst on her recent holiday away in ...erm... Spa - land :OD

Challenge # 67 at Whiff of Joy

I have really enjoyed myself this evening going through my scraps and bits and bobs box to make this card.
I have been wanting to try out a vintage style card like this for a while now. I finally got round to it, and must admit that I am quite pleased with the result. Modest i know, sorry :OD

The challenge this time at 'Whiff of joy' was 'pearls and swirls'.
I decided to use some of a wallpaper scrap i had from Farrow and Ball its called 'Sprig stripe' It is hand made and the scanning has not done it justice enough. The swirls come in on the Crate paper scrap which is actually called whirl. I have used an old garment sales tag, a scrap of music note paper and i'm not sure if you can see it but there is some tyll material over the note paper.
The 2 ribbons i have weaved together are from the shop Minne hjørne, flowers are from Storyteller, the brad from panduro and the round bronzed metal detail is from Kort og Godt.

Willow sitting on her stol writing recepies is stamped onto 200gms watercolour paper with Archival Ink - Coffee. I then painted her with my Distress ink pad - Vintage photo, which I also used to distress many other parts of the card too. Lastly I stuck pearls around the image that I had cut out with nestabilities, and waallaa my vintage card is made :OD
