A perfect time to craft

Hello everybody!

I can't believe we are already in the month of July. 

We have had a few really hot days here in Sweden, about 30c, and that's a bit too hot for me. Now its raining and its kinda cold outside. The weather man is saying that this rainy and cold wether will last for at least 10 more days, but when it rains what do we do? Well, we craft of course! lol!

Today we have a new challenge up over at A perfect time to craft.

Our sponsors for this month is Conie Fong and I have used this sweet little girl from a set called summer dreams.


I colored the sweet little girl with my copics. (in candel light because the power went off, lol) For the background of the card I used a text stencil with some modeling paste.
Then I sprayed some water on the card and used two different purple Lindys sprays on it.

I die cut a frame and on that frame I used the same two Lindys sprays. 


I found these white lace flowers and I did the same with them, some purple Lindys sprays and a white pearl in the middle of the flower.
Some more flowers, leaves, pearls and other things I found in my stash, like the beautiful bridge.

Thats al from me today.
Thank you for stopping by and I can't wait to see your creations over at A perfect time to craft

Have a wonderful day!

613 Avenue Create

Hello everybody!

So happy that you are stopping by!

We have a new challenge up over at 613 Avenue Create. The challenge is as always anything goes but this month twist is "for the guys".

I went with "anything goes" this time, and this is what I made:


I have been on the monthly coloring class over at kit and clowder for a while now and I just love everything Alyce are teaching us. Im learning so much and most of al I think its fun learning different techniques every month. I am using my copics.

Here is a pic when I am half way threw the coloring...


 I think I am gonna leave this little mushroom as is?
Its bigger than the images I usually put on cards, so I am thinking about maybe framing it and  color up some more images to hang up on the wall with the mushroom.
This mushroom reminds me of fall, so maybe color up summer, spring and winter images then it will be al four seasons hanging on the wall.

Well its still just an idea I have, well see?

Anyways now im babbling on here. 
I hope to see you over at 613 avenue create and I can't wait to see al of your wonderful entries to this month challenge .

See you over there!
hugs

A perfect time to craft

Hello everybody!

Hope you are having a wonderful day. I have been outside in the sun but it got kinda too hot. It's 26 Celsius here in Sweden today. I think we have to open up the pool now.

Today we have a new challenge up over at a perfect time to craft

I have used annes Fresh foliage patterned paper

I decided to make a layout with our cat Olga. She's sitting on the table smelling the tulips, lol.



The first thing I did was cover the paper with white gesso, since I knew I wanted to do some mixed media on the background. I sprayed some Lindys sprays and then I used a text stencil with some heavy paste.



I fussy cut some flowers and also fussy cut some leaves from annes fresh foliage patterned papers. I used some sticker flowers that I glued to some heavier paper and cut them out, that way they become like card stock flowers and I can move them around before I make up my mind, and I promise you, they were moving around a lot.



I also used some chip boards, a little tag behind one of the photos, I love the gold foliage that's on the chipboards and card stock embellishments. I used some black text strips that went well with Olga the black cat, and then I splattered some black paint on it. The last thing I did was I wrote a little about the pics.

I can't wait to see your entries over at a perfect time to craft!

Have a wonderful day everybody!

Hugs
Bettina

613 avenue create/layout

 Hello! 

A new challenge is up over at 613 create! The challenge is as always anything goes but with the twist for the kids.

So our sponsor for this month is Mirttilamemte and I have used this cute little elephant 


I did a layout for the first time in over years. Can’t really remember but think it was over 12 years ago I did a layout? 


Every year we go to this zoo with a sleepover and this is the view from our hotel room in the morning, it’s just so beautiful. 
So this little elephant was just perfect.


A little close up. 

So excited to see what you will be making. 
Have a wonderful day!

A perfekt time to craft/ seed box

Hello everyone!

It’s may and a new challenge is up on A perfect time to craft!  

One of our sponsor for this month is Beat paper and I have used some cute little Fairies.

I found this little box while scrabbling around in my crafty stuff that still are in boxes in our cellar. It was a bit bonky wonky but I thought that it would be perfect to store my little seed bags in, but of course I hade to give it a little make over.


First thing I did was paint it with some white gesso.


The I covered it with some patterned papers from prima. I chose a stencil and used some modeling paste to get a bit of structure on the box. I then sprayed on a bit of Lindys spray in the color rhododendron red.


I used some die cuts that I dry embossed the edges on with some embossing powder. I colored the fairies with copics and then I fussy cut out the two little fairies and placed them on the die cuts.


Im gonna use them as dividers for my seeds.


Some, flowers, butterflies, bling,  pearls, lace and other stuff from my stash.


And here is my little seed box!


Have a wonderful day and 
I hope you will join us in our challenge!

Hugs!
