You Are Pawesome

Hi!

When I saw this stamp set over at Simon Says Stamp I was over the moon, I've been looking at these cats and dogs that Kristina Werner designed for quite some time, really loving them but never taking the plunge. Until now, these where to pawsome to give up. This card are a little bit smaller than the ones I usually create, just because I found the perfect spot on the paper, so I just had to cut it to that size. Hope you like the companion video too.

Magnolia - Copic Watercolouring

The challenge this week over at Make It Colourful this month is Watercolour Effects, and last week I showed you a card I coloured with Distress Inks. But I was wondering if I could get the same effect with my copic markers, and this is the end result. I’m really happy with it so if any of you been hesitant to enter the challenge because you don’t have watercolours, you see here you can use any medium. So come and join us!

Sea Song Mae

Thanks for being wonderful you. I really mean it! Over the weekend I have passed 2500 subscribers over at my youtube page! It’s a huge milestone for me and I couldn’t have done it without you! So thank you for following and subscribing, it means the world to me!

As promised last week here is another stamp from a new stamp company I haven’t played with before, but been eyeing for some time (years I believe). This adorable mermaid is called Sea Song Mae and I had a blast colouring her up. For how I made her scales, watch the video, they are super simple to colour.

Snow Much Thanks

Hi!



I’ve got a lot of craft resolutions this year, things like trying out new stamps, techniques and products, taking courses to learn new ways to be creative and use the stuff I get. One part of this is to use my Simon Says Stamp card kits more than I’ve done the past months. I’ve also going to join in with more challenges, yet another way to try new things. I will also be creating more videos, instead of 1-2 videos a week, there will be at least 3, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I hope you join me this year, I think it’s going to be an awesome and creative one.

So this cards does a few of the resolutions in one. It’s based on the challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Inky backgrounds, also it uses the Simon Says Stamp January Card Kit from 2015 and I’m using my distress inks, which I am learning about in the Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 101 class over att Online Card Classes.

Magnolia - Make It Colourful January Challenge

Another month, another challenge. But this challenge is not just another challenge it is an awesome challenge, Zoe comes up with the most wonderful challenges, challenges that challenge you creatively and make you use every little bit of your artsy fartsy gene. This months challenge over at Make It Craftys challenge blog Make It Colourful is Watercolour Effect. You don’t need to use watercolours, you can use any medium, just get that watercolour effect. I’ve chosen to use my distress inks (I’ve used them too seldom and this makes me want to take them out to play even more), and I had a marvellous time. I’m using the new Magnolia flower stamp which is simply perfect for this challenge, with the soft colours that the flowers usually comes in.
