Im very fond of Tags! I can do tons and tons of them, just for the fun of it.
This is exceptionally well now when Christmas is coming closer.
I need lots of them for all the gifts Im planning to give away...



I used one of the new stamps from Stampavies new Autumn-Winter release; Alex in the Snow with Puppies together with one of the new sentiments from the same release.



I left most of the image uncolored, just to keep the effect of the background there.
But the face is colored with the following Promarker colors: Ivory, Blush, Dusky Pink and Sunkissed Pink.



The background on the tag is made with Distress Pads, Glimmer Mist and different grounge-stamps.
I mainly used brown and light blue colors. It´s a little bit sad that you can´t see the sparkle in the pics.

The snowflakes is chipboard covored with Flower Soft and Glitter.

It´s so much fun playing with colors and mist!! It´s a little bit messy but it´s worth it in the end. I promise! *lol*

Have a nice weekend everyone!

For some time ago I made a couple examples for the July edition of Stampavie Creations Magazine.
I hope you haven´t missed out on Stampavies amazing Free Magazine?!
You can download it directly from their Blog.

One of the projects was a card with wonderful Josephine cuddling her pet cat Kiki from Sarah Kay:



I used my Cherry Lynn dies for the shape of the card.
Papers are from MME and Maja Design.

The motif is colored with Promarkers on Letraset Cartridge Papers.

I spent all Saturday crafting with friends. So lovely!!! ANd I actually got four whole cards ready!
That´s a lot for being me. Im not a speedful crafter... LOL.

Today Im showing a Tag with one of the stamps from Penny Johnson´s Vintage Collection in Stampavie Blog:



I distressed all the papers with Distress Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain and stamped all the edges with different textures. The papers are from Tim Holtz and the Tag is made with one of his Dies.



I´ve used the Intertwined-stamp and stamped it directly on to the doily. Then I´ve taken some die cuts and framed the sentiment.

Wishing you a fantastic Sunday!

I´ve used Mo Mannings Fairy Kiki and a sentiment from the new Vintage Collection from Penny Johnson.



The Blog Hop is also focusing on coloring techniques.

This image is colored mostly with promarkers but I also used a couple of my copics.
I often use several shades of the same color and blend them all together, to get the dept I want in my images.
For example; for the skin I´ve used five different shades of promarkers...
I also like to combine many different color techniques at the same time.
