Yellowy

Oh my! I have been very lucky to be picked for a guest designer spot over at Deep Ocean! How exciting! I can’t wait to get started on my cards for the challenges in the month I am chosen for! What a great way to start the day for sure. This coming weekend I plan to get a fair bit of crafting done as well. I suddenly feel really inspired, hehe.

Apart from that, I spent a bit of time yesterday designing a new background for my blog, a new header image and I tweaked the colours somewhat. I am much happier with how it looks now.

I had time to colour up a few images the other day, yey! Mostly Saturated Canary ones.  They are so much fun to colour! This one is coloured in with copics. I have used the following shades: B0000, B0, G40, G82, E42, E44, E50, E51, E53, E57, E42, E44, R97, Y000, Y04, Y08 and Y17. The papers are from Inkido, and the pearls are from Kort og Godt. All the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The two ribbons are from a local shop. I have also used my new Martha Stewart edge puncher to create the somewhat fancy edges. I love it!

Bunting everywhere

The road sweeper just went by outside. Does that mean it is finally spring? We have had a fair bit of rain recently to melt away the remaining ice as well. Another couple of weeks and perhaps the temperature will be decent as well!

Today I have a card for an occasion called konfirmasjon. It was requested by a work colleague. I used pretty much every crayon in the box here, and I love how it turned out. The image is by Krista Smith at Saturated Canary. It is definitely one of my favourites! I have used a ton of different copics to colour it so I won’t list all the different pens. If there is any you’d like the name of just ask in a comment below. The paper is from Papermania. The butterflies and leaves are made with Martha Stewart punchers. All the sentiments are my own. The bunting and twine are by Helz Cuppleditch; I found them in Range when I was over in England this Easter. I believe the ribbon was bought from The Hobby House and as always I have used flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Lingering thoughts of summer

It has been too long! I cannot believe it’s been nearly a month since I posted a card here. As I went through my picture files today I came across this. I made it this summer, but it looks like I forgot to post it up, so here it is! I will post several more the next few weeks, I promise!

Autumn party

Wooo! My first entry in the Copic Marker Norge summer contest got me though to the second round! Ok, that was about a month ago now, but the deadline for the second entry is tomorrow, so I still have time! The requirements were to follow a sketch, and then the dreaded ‘use yellow’. Miss Yellow and I don’t get along, that is why it has taken me a month! That is my excuse and I’m sticking to it!

Copic Europe celebration

A month ago or so I spotted a post over at Copic Marker Europe that they were having a challenge running and that they provided the digital image to be used in the creation. As I have never really been provided with the actual image to use previously, I thought it would be a nice challenge and committed to join in by emailing for the two digital images that were provided.
