My second card for the C.C. Designs Monthly Challenge #6

I made another card for the C.C. Designs Monthly Challenge #6

This time I used C.C. Designs Cupcake Kiki La Rue DIGI Image and coloured her with my Faber-Castell colour pencils. The cupcakes is from the C.C. Designs Cutters Sweet Treats Set Die. The text is from Norsk Stempelblad. I have also used Spellbinder dies, ribbon, Kaiser Craft pearls, and papers from Cardmaking and papercraft magazine.

The colours on this photo and the one of the previous card isn't right, but I couldn't get them any better.

Ny monsterbukse

6-åringen min ville ha ny monsterbukse, da den andre var blitt for liten.
Kjøpte garn forrige lørdag, og startet strikkeprosjektet lørdagskvelden. I går (lørdag) var jeg ferdig!
Hadde regnet med å bruke laaaang tid, så jeg er veldig overrasket over at jeg greide det på bare en uke! :)

Buksen er strikket i Mor Åse superwash, pinne 3,5.

Garden Variety Tuesday challenge

Here's a card I made for a sketch challenge over at The Greeting Farm blog. :)

I've used the super cute deer from the Forest Friends set from The Greeting Farm.

The paper is from my Minds Eye, and the text stamp is from Norsk Stempelblad. The diecuts in the corners are made with an old Cuttlebug die.

One layer cards

My energy levels are quite low at the moment, and one layer cards are perfect for taking my mind off things and being a little creative for a short time, without too much work. They're all made out of Bazzill Kraft, stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa, and colored in with Derwent and Faber-Castell pencils. I also added KaiserCraft pearls.

Here's one with the same stamp as my red, white & blue card, Miss Anya from The Greeting Farm. I wanted to use the same stamp, but with a totally different look. The text is from Darcies Country Folk. The white dots on the umbrella is made with a Sakura Gelly Roll pen. I've tried loads of different white pens, and this is my favourite.

This is an old Penny Black stamp, called Lovin' & Huggin'. The text is from Ankas Design. 

This cute stamp from Sugar Nellie is called Bear Hug. The text is from Ankas Design.
