Shaker card for baby boy
Today I made a shaker card for a baby. I's been a while since I last made one, but the die "Midnight cover" from Mama Elephant cuts out a cicrle opening, or frame, and wanted the card to be extra special with golden star shaker elements.
The sentiment is cut out in gold mirri card and says "a beautiful prince". With the giraffe and its balloons, a cut out from Mintay baby boy book, I think this card could work as a new baby card or as a baby's first birthday card.

INK #322 Moodboard
At Inkspirational
our new challenge theme is a moodbard. I was inspired by the green kiwi against the blue background. I added a bit of yellow too, but I didn't manage to fit in the orange. Seeing the card photographed I kind of wish I had. And then throw in cobweb and a spider and rhere you have it for Halloween. But I didn't. Instead I ended up with a card fit for any occasion or non occasion rather.
I used some an old stamp, my new Mondeluz watercolor pencils and an embossing folder. I can safely say I have never used these colors together, but I quite like it.

My card went to Mia in Greece. I chose to use the colors (gold, jade and topaz), the sketch, the themes of Feathers and Friendship and I heat embossed the sentiment.I used birds from a Art by Marlene stamp set and I used my new watercolor pencilsf rom Mondeluz - love them - and some gel roll pens and gold paint. The sentiments that came with the bird set were used to stamp the upper part of the background, in gold, so not so visible in the photo.
In return I received a super cute card from Gundi in Germany.

Seaside/Summertime
I haven't had enough crafting time this year, most of what I have made and posted have been DT assignments, but today I have a card made for a few challenges in mind.
I have some zip bags filled with stamped images that I have already colored up but not yet used, and this nautical image was found in one of those bags. I added it on top of a card base with a stencilled background in brown. The stencil I used is from Aall&Create.
I cut a few banners and used some old postmark stamps.
I'm going to try and make more cards with images I have ready as I need to stock up on cards:)

INK #318 Moodboard - VW Beetle
At Inkspirational
our challenge theme for the next two weeks is a mood board. What caught my eye was the photo with the car and the yellow and grey color combination
Out came my stamp from Aall&Create that ressembles a Volkswagen Beetle.My aunt had one of these and it was yellow, so I thought it would be a great choice for her birthday card.
I added a few grey enamel dots.

INK #317 Frame
I gave the stamped image an aged look by adding Vintage beeswax Baked texture powder, and the die cut inked poinsettias got the same treatment. I've had this embossing powder for a few years, yet this was the first time I used and I quite like the look of it. Maybe I should have used a more muted colored background, but I like plaid and the colors look more beautiful together in real life.

INK #316 Spotlight technique
At Inkspirationalit was my time to choose the theme and I went with "Spotlight Technique".
I made it super simple - I stamped 3 identical panels with a bee stamp from Aall&Create.
One of the panels was inked up, I cut out a cirle and popped it on one of the panels, then I used the negative to pop on the other. A die cut sentiment and 3 bling on each card and voila - two cards ready in one go.

INK #315 - Season - mid challenge inspiration
At Inkspirational
our challenge theme is SEASON. I
am always in need of a huge pile of Christmas cards, and I am afraid I haven't been very good at making them so far this year, so I better get going.
I made a CAS card using a tree stencil from Lavinia. Inside of the outlined tree I stamped a snowman scene with trees using a much used and loved stamp set from Hero Arts. I love the wintery and frosty feel and have also added some sparkle using Wink of Stella.

INK #314 - Mood Board
At Inkspirational
our challenge theme for the next two weeks is a colorful mood board. I was inspired by the colors and tried to mimic them in the order of the girl blowing them - and the bling mimics the arranegment of the macarons.
I used a seahorse stamp from Aall&Crreate, satmped in black ink. I used ditress inks and a text stamp for the background. Sentiment are stickers with birthday greetings in Norwegian.
