"Du rokker" stamp set from Papirdesign. Dies from My Favorite Things and Spellbinder.

Quick & simple. Bare en liten hilsen stamp from Norsk stempelblad, flowers from My Cute Stamps, 

dies from My Favorite Things. Doodlebug twine.

Gratulerer stamp from Panduro, embossing folder from Cuttlebug. Dies from My Favorite Things.

Hello Ian from The Greeting Farm, sentiment from Purple Onion Design.

I made the background with distress ink pads and a blending tool. Stamped white dots with pigment ink. Sentiment from Simon Says Stamp. Enamel dots from Doodlebug. I also used a die from Blueprints 14, from My Favorite Things. Love this die, and use it a lot!

I miss you, stamp from Whiff Of Joy, colored with Copic Sketch. (I finally caved! I thought I loved my Promarkers, but these are just FANTASTIC! ) 

Not sure where the paper and sentiment is from, it's in norwegian and says "miss you".

A card for Unitys Friends with flair

Here's a card I've made for Friends with Flair, over at the Unity blog. :)

For this card I used some stamps from Unity Stamp Company. 

The bird is from a past KOM kit, Strength & Dignity, and the round 

scalloped stamp is from the Blossom Stackers kit. The Blossom Stackers can be used with 

the Blossom Tags & Accents die set from Spellbinders, as you can see on my card. :)

The text is from Papirloftet.

I've also used Rose Leaves Signature Dies, from Joanna Sheen, 

and Prima Say it in Crystals.

And here's a little tutorial on how I made the flowers. :)

Use 2 different sizes of the Retro flower punch, from EK Success and punch out

lots of flowers from cardstock. I used Bazzill Smoothie Walnut Cream.

Use a pair of decorative edge scissors on the edges of the petals.

I used brown Memento ink and a Paperbag Studios stamp.

Use a sponge or blending tool and apply Broken China Distress ink, 

or any other color or ink you would like.

Lightly mist the flowers, and crumble them. 

Mist again, and let them dry for a while.

When they are almost completely dry, open them up.

Put one flower on top of the other, and glue it in place. 

Place it on a soft surface and use a pointy tool to press down in the middle.

Add several layers, at least 3

To make the center place one flower face down. Add some glue in the center and

on the petals. Press the tool down in the middle, and lift the petals up, one by one, and

fold them tightly around the tool.

Put some glue on the flower you already made, and add the center.

Add some Vintage Photo Distress ink with the blending tool, and you're done! :) 

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Papertake Weekly Challenge, Old, New, Borrowed or Blue.

This is for The Papertake Weekly Challenge Old, New Borrowed or Blue

I have used something old, something new and blue colours.

The Superstar stamp is from Purple Onion Designs. 

I got it years ago, when the kit club Self Addressed was up and running.

The star border is from Megilo and is also old. 

I've stamped with different Prima Chalk ink pads, which are new. 

This is my first project using them, and I already know I need more of them! ;-) 

The camera is from a Spellbinders set called Snapshot, which is also new.

Smil, (not a typo, but smile in Norwegian) is written with old Thickers.

I drew the decorative corners with a pen I "borrowed" from my computer desk. ;P
