Birthday Wishes

Hi Guys!

I've been dying to play with the new Distress Crayons, I've watched every little youtube video I could on the subject, kind of figuring out what I could or could not do with them. So when they dropped in in my mail a couple of days ago I just couldn't wait! I really bought them for my Mixed Media Journal but thought I would see how I could use them on my cards.



At the moment I'm totally crazy about using all of the techniques, trying out everything and I hope that you enjoy coming on that journey with me. The colour scheme for this card is directly picked out of one of the Distress Crayons packages, I so loved how they looked next to each other and I just had to play. Hope you enjoy the video.

You're out of this world!

Hi Guys!

This is a card that has been in my mind for weeks and I finally got to make it. I tried recording a video on it last week, but ended up not liking the end result. So I let it grew in my mind for a couple of days and retried it this weekend. I really like how it turned out! Had a lot of fun playing with the background, I wasn't sure it would work but I just had to try, and this is something I recommend you al to do to. Not sure if it works? Try it, it's only paper and paint (or ink in this case). My best work has come from trying new things, and seeing if I can make the material work in my favour.



This card is using the same stamp set that I used over at My Favorite Things Stamp Blog last week, didn't know I was guesting? Hope on over to their blog and/or youtube and watch my video, I tried a very fun three layered stenciling technique.

Fairies In A Bottle - Birthday Series #1

Hi Guys!

There is a new challenge over at Make It Colourful, and this month it's transparency! I've chosen to colour a bottle, and I really wanted to have something in it so I found some really cute fairies that I added. The things I thought about when colouring the bottle was the teeny tiny sliver at the edge of the bottle that I left blank to give the illusion of the glass and also using a white pen (in my case a posca) to add the shine to one part to make it look like the glass was reflecting some light.
