Birthday girl

Here's a birthday card I've made with my new stamp from
Stampotique Originals




A litle detail:



I've painted the girl with distress ink, and i also died the cotton thread on the button with distress ink. The text is made with a
Dymo Junior
. I just cut a strip of bazzill in the same size as the dymo tape, and ran it through the dymo, and then I dabbed the strips with a black ink pad.

The stamp is called Moth Fab and is from Stampotique Originals.


Thanks for looking! :)

Some new cards

I've had a though couple of weeks.
My dad passed away june 30. He's had cancer for almost 3 years, and we knew he wouldn't get cured. He was in a lot of pain, so I guess it was a relief for him to get home to God. But it will probably take some time to get used to not having him among us anymore.




I've made a few cards, to keep my mind occupied.




Spritz & flick technique.
The flower stamp is Pash from Penny black, and the text is from ClubStamp.

**********************************************************************************




The boots are painted with Twinkling H2O's.
"These boots" from Stamp-It and the text is from Norsk Stempelblad, and the tiny writing on the flowers are from Panduro.


***********************************************************************************


A different birthday card. :)
(Not inspired by my dad, that was just a coincidence...)




Detail:





************************************************************************************



And here's a christmas card.




It's sort of the spritz & flick technique, but with a twist.
I've mixed perfect pearls and water in a mini mister, and sprayed over the panel, and used this mix to flick with my fingers, so the image is a bit sparkling. Thought it would be a nice touch on a christmas card.

The tree is from Eureka stamps and the text is from Papirloftet.


That's it for now.
Thanks for looking!

Flower card. :)

Here's a quick & easy flower card. I've stamped with Autumn leaves clearstamps. Added some Distress ink around the edges, mounted it on several layers of bazzill, and put a ribbon and some green pearls on it. There's no text on it on purpose. Sometimes you need a simple card that's not for a birthday or any other special occacion, and here it is. :)
