Water Lily Tilda

This card was made in a real hurry, I used about 20 minutes,
not counting the coloring as that was done earlier.
It was for a girl in Sofie's kindergarten who celebrated her birthday
on Sunday. Her actual birthday was yesterday, the same day that my
newest niece was born! So a Baby Girl card is in the making. :)

The paper I used is from Websters Pages.
I layered with a doily,
and ribbon from Ribbon Girl. 

This is the first time I colored this Tilda,
and while she is super cute,
she will not be a favourite of mine. I dont like coloring her hair,
and over all I found her difficult to paint.
I used my Distress Reinkers,
and tried for soft colors as if it was a summer night. 

I embellished with Orchids from Wild Orchids Craft,
and a Hello Kitty Charm. 

The letters are from Making Memories.

Birthday Magic *Marvelous Magnolia DT*

First I just want to say thank you to everyone who visit
and comments on my blog, and thank you so much for wishing

me luck on my exams.

So today I want to show you a birthday card

for someone in the family. This card is my DT card for our

Challenge at Marvelous Magnolia. This week it is Anything Goes!
This is the midway reminder, so you have just one more week to enter. :)

I used papers from Maja Design,
a doily and a very broad lace from Ribbon Girl. 

I tried something of the "no lines tecnique", witch I like and have tried
a few times, but I keep forgetting I have nothing to draw her face back on with.
I tried with a pen, and figured it was good enough to use. :)
I colored her with distress reinkers, and misted with Chalkboard
Glimmer mist. I added Star Dust Stickles, and some Liquid Pearl. 

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Ribbon Girl. I also used
Starburst stamens from RG, and Doohickey die cuts from Magnolia. 

There is a feather under both floral corners, and I used some pearl
swirl leftovers. 

I added a removable Doohickey tag, with Kort og Godt sentiments
on both sides (and on the front of the card). I embellished it with
seem binding ribbon from WOC, and two charms.
I used star stamps as details on the tag and around the image.

Create *Marvelous Magnolia DT*

Right now I am at my last week at scool,

I study online and travel to my school three weeks

per semester, and this is my last week of my very last semester.

I just cant believe I am almost done, has it been four years already?

I have applied for jobs and everything,

and I feel both excited to work, scared to death about my last

two exams, scared and nervous about the responsibility about

being a techer and about having to go to an interview...

And so happy to be almost done at the university!

Yes, so many feelings!

Today I want to show you a birthday card for a special someone 

who's birthday is comming up. :)

And again, no flowers! Unless you count the button.

This card is my card for our midway reminder at

Marvelous Magnolia Challenge!

This time, we want to se ribbons or bows. 

I used papers from Prima and Maja design,

and a doily behind the image. 

Tilda was colored with Distress Reinkers,

before I sprayed Chalkboard Glimmer Mist over her.

The Doohickey tag is removable, 

and has Lily of the valley-sentiments on both sides.

The angel charm was a gift, I think they are so pretty. :)

I used white string and a white button, both from Ribbon Girl. 

The lightboulb is from Prima, and I added some pearls.

I think the whole card was very inspired by Elaine, in fact!

She makes the most beautiful cards. :)

Tildas Town - Clean and layered or fuzzy and fancy

Love Birds

Oh my gosh, look at that?
Not a flower in sight!
Somehow, they where just not right on this one,
but it felt strange putting the flower box back without using any...

I am feeling a bit lazy, I dont remember the name of the paper,
but I will have to go downstairs to check, and my blanket if feeling
so soft and warm... 

I got this wooden heart at a craft shop before Christmas.
I had already painted it, but today I glued little pearls all over it.
Seems I have become bit of an ebay addict. Got both of the doilies
there, and all those pearls.
I used structure paste for the first time today,
combined with a stencil from Memory Box. 

This doohickey I have wanted since it first came out I think,
and now I finally have it!
The sentiment is from Lily of the Valley. 

The birds are from Prima, I dabbet them with white
and distressed a little with Walnut Stain.
I used a "Love" charm tied with white string from Ribbon Girl,
where I also got the ribbon I used.
Also used some pompoms and cardboard.

of those! Love the pinstriped ones so much. :)
Both of the ribbons and the heart bling I got at Ribbon Girl. 

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Papirdesign.
I made a bow out of cloth from Ribbon Girl.
The flowers was dabbet with white acrylic paint,
I cant seem to not do that. Perhaps an intervention is in order?

and a pearl string.

Spring Green Edwin *Marvelous Magnolia DT*

This week at Marvelous Magnolia our challenge is "add some green".
I am sure a lot of you have a little green in your cards
these days, so come join us!

We have had some spring weather already,
in north of Norway we usually are buried in snow this

time of year, March is actually the worst snow month.
This year, we hardly had any, and we have had some lovely
weather too. The last week, however, one storm took over

where the other one left of. I am sitting in my living room
and the walls are shaking and the rain is poring down.
Dont worry, it is quite normal for us, but is it just
so tiering when I want to go outside for a hike and
get some air and sun.

So that is my inspiration for my card,
I am so looking forward to nice weather and the real springtime!

I used papers from Pion and Maja, if I am not mistaken. 

I colored Edwin up with my distress Reinkers.

The flowers I have are from Wild Orchid Crafts,
and some I believe are from Ribbon Girl, where I also got my ribbons.
I used a flourish die, lace and cheese cloth. 

Challenges:
Kreativ Scrapping - Herre/gutt

MDUC - Birthday

Midweek Magnolias - Flourishes
Scrappin all over - Osteklut

Fairy Fift Birthday! *Marvelous Magnolia DT*

On the 17th my sweet little girl turned 5,

and is was celebrated in a fashionable manner with a

princess party and lots and lots of pizza and cake,

baloons and pink sugary stuff.

This is the card I made for her,

with one of my abselute favourite Tildas!

It is also my inspirational card for the midway reminder
of our super simple challenge over at
Marvelous Magnolia: Anything goes! Come join us. :)

The papers are from Inkido, Maja and Poppy Design.

I used my cloud dies from Magnolia, I wanted to make

a little magical scene with butterfly clouds,

pearl wind, frosted flowers and glittering mushrooms. 

The heart buttons are from Ribbon Girl,

I added some acryllic paint to them (and pretty much

everything else on my card...). The letters are from Prima. 

I also used pearl string, a heart doily, a sentiment from Magnolia,

a pin, and cheese cloth. 

Tilda was inked with Distress Reinkers and a waterbrush,

I used Liquid Pearl around, and lots of Star Dust Stickles. 

The lace, starburst stamens and white flowers are all from Ribbon Girl.

The other flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I used my Martha Stewart lacy heart puncher too. 

I used lots of cheese cloth under the flowers,

and frosted everything with acryllic paint, and some stickles

on the mushrooms from Prima.
