Happy Birthday No2

So April is a month with loads of birthdays in my family, and as I haven't met any one in march either, there is loads of cards to be given (I like to give cards instead of sending them). So I'm supposed to bring three cards tomorrow to my family, I'm lucky that I had some already made because I only made one today, but one great though. For this card I got inspiration from Colour Create Challenge #69 Pink, Blue and Brown and Just Magnolia and hAnglar and sTanglar Challenge #103 Sketch, so I will enter this card in both.


Materials:
Stamps: Magnolia
Paper: Bazzil, Prima
Flowers: Stampin' Up colored with copics Y31 and R81; others from stash
Punch: Martha Stewart Leaf

Color medium: Copic Sketch Markers; YR31, R81, R83, R85, R89, G28, G40, YG63, E00, E01, E11, E13, E15, E41, E44, E47, B93, B95, B97,

Birthday present

A friend of mine is celebrating her 28th birthday tomorrow, and you can't come to a birthday party without a present. Well I bought her this ... and thought it would fit perfectly in a homemade box. I will be entering this box in the Just Magnolia Challange as I have used the lovely sketch on the top, and I will also be entering the Stamp with fun challange as the challange is "not a card".
En vän till mig firar sin 28:de födelsedag imorgon, och man kan ju inte komma till ett födelse-kalas utan en present. Jag köpte henne en ... och tänkte att den skulle passa jätte bra i en hemma-gjord låda. Jag kommer att delta med denna box i utmaningen på Just Magnolia bloggen eftersom jag använde deras skiss på toppen. Jag kommer även att delta i utmaningen på Stamp with fun bloggen då den utmaningen är "inte ett kort".

Materials:
Cardstock: Bazzil Basic
DP: Shabby Princess
Stamps: Magnolia
Color medium: Derwent Watercolour Pencils, Derwent Inktense
Brads: Panduro
Ribbon: SU!

Just Magnolia Challange Week 7

Well, Just Magnolia Challange is up to week 7, sadly I missed to enter the challange for week 6. But thats, that. This week the challange is Animals and Insects, I choose butterflies, both as a stamp and as eyelets. I had the matching Tilda and butterfly already painted up and choose the color theme from them, it wasn't until I was finished with the card that I took another look at the DTs creations and found that I actually used the same DP as Naoual. Here's my entry:
Just Magnolia Challange har kommit till vecka 7, tyvärr missade jag att delta i utmaningen för vecka 6. Men det är så det är. Den här veckan är utmaningen Djur och Insekter, jag valde fjärilar, både som stämpel och "eyelets". Jag hade redan målat upp Tilda och fjärilen sedan tidigare och valde färg schemat efter dem, det var inte förrän kortet var klart och jag tog en till titt på DT kreationerna som jag upptäckte att jag hade använt samma DP som Naoual. Här är mitt bidrag:

Inside/Insida

Colour Create Challange, Stamp with fun & Just Magnolia

This was a hard card to make, not the combinding the challanges part, that came all by itself. But acctually the challanges themselves.
First there is the Colour Create Challange #15 - Blue and Green, took a very long time until I found the cardstock and DP that went with each other.
Secondly there was the Stamp with fun challange #6 a beautiful sketch, but does anybody know how hard it is to make a good octagon without a template, finally I dusted of my knowledge in trigonometry and had something that was kind of symmetric.
And last there was the Just Magnolia Challange #4 - In stitches, I do like to sew, but my free-hand stitching sucks, I tried to make some lacy daisies but they woulden't look like I wanted, so I compromised, they became x-es.
I do like how it turned out tho :)
