Gorjuss in the rain

Hello!

Up here in northern Sweden the weather has treated a little bit of this and a little bit of that - sun, heat, rain, cold, hail and thunder...

So lately I haven't been too inspired to do a lovely summer card. I decided to stick to the rain, otherwise it might get too messy to try to bring all the weather together at once. At least rain has some connection to summer compared to hail.

stamp - Gorjuss

cardstock - silky white, texture white and bling in silver

DP - from stash

roses - wild orchid

crisp ribbon - live & love crafts

organza

bling

pearls

 She is coloured with Distress Markers (black soot, broken china, victorian velvet, antique linen and pumice stone).

Challenges:
TotallyGorjuss - pearls #142
ThePoodlesParlour - anything goes
SimonSays - anything goes

Hope you've been inspired!

A box filled with...

Hello!

I went through my pictures of made stuff and found something I haven't published. It's a box - very easy to make - in which I filled up with some treat for the hostess at a tea party. She really appreciated it.

Design paper - think it could be from Riddersholm design, but I'm not sure

Punch - Martha Stewart

Brads

Ribbon

Stickles

And of course cardstock for the bottom

1. Make the chest (a box but without the lid) out of a square for the bottom. You can choose which size you want.
2. Score about 2-3 cm from the edge into the paper on every side.
3. Cut among some scored lines so that you are able to fold and fold up the edges so it looks like a chest. Glue or use double sided tape so that they stick together.
4. Take your DP and cut it so you have a stripe of 15-20 cm wide paper (depends on how high you want your box to be).
Note! Cardstock/DP are in size 12x12 inches (30,5x30,5 cm) and because of that you might want your chest to have a circuit of maximum 12 inches (30,5 cm) to be able to avoid seams.
5. The decoration is then up to you!

Hope you've found some inspiration!

Distress Markers from Tim Holtz and Ranger - Red hair

Hello!
As I said in my earlier post, I would come back and tell you about my progress coloring red hair.

Here's the result.

scattered straw - lightest

barn door - middle

fired brick - darkest (main color)

scattered straw - lightest

barn door - middle (main color)

fired brick - darkest

The first one got a more intense red color in her hair, while the second girl got more of a pinkish tone - and you have probably already figured out why, but I'm doing to write it anyway - I've used two different colors as the main color.

This is why I love coloring this way - you have endless color combinations! You could add some aged mahogany or some brown for a different effect.

Happy coloring!

Baby album page 2 - a la vintage style

Hello!
This creation was a hard one to handle. The layout began with the color pink, which didn't quite fit. Then I gave up on it and started to make a card. When I began to make my card I remembered my lastest investment - Maja Design papers - and I got an idea. I tried my idea - cut some papers and now I'm finished! What a detour!
