At Inkspirational our new challenge theme is Clean&Simple with option of adding animals.
I used an old wood mounted stamp from Penny Black and my new Mondeluz watercolor pencils. I added a few dots og glitter glue and some bling and a sentiment.
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.

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.
Here's my card for The Card Chain Challenge July reveal. If you want to join the fun for next month you need to sign up here until the 6th.
In return I received a super cute card from Gundi in Germany.

our new challenge theme is WOODLAND.
I used some cute stamps from Mama Elephant. For a cold and wintery look I used blue colors and Stickles on the trees and blue was also my choice of colors for the clothes.

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:)

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.

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.

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.

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.

our challenge theme for the next two weeks is FOLD. I made a Double Decker Pop Out card, I found the tutorial here.
I used papers from ScrapBoys' Steampunk Collection, in addition to some oddments in my stash. The cogs are die cut in metallic papers, dies from Papirdesign.
This is how the card looks closed.
This might look like a tag, but it's a tag shaped card with a top fold. I used a die from the Studiolight Oriental tags collection to make this card base.
I
used papers from ScrapBoys Old Farm collection. I think the bunnies and chicken are perfect for Easter as I combined them with yellow Bazzil and seambinding ribbon.
I also decorated the inside.
This card is for:

Today I'm a guest designer over at at Simply Ellibelle's blog and her "I spy with my little eye" challenge. And the theme is "something beginning with B".
I have several B-elements on my card - like boy, birthday, ball, balloon, bling, banner - maybe you will spot more than me?
I have used a die from Papirdesign for the boy, the balloon die was part of the Spellbinder advent calendar last year and the circle is a die from Pinkfresh.
As I have 5 nephews, ranging from 8 to 28 years of age, I am always in need of some masculine designs. This card will go to one of the teenagers.

Over at Try it on Tuesday our new challenge is "In the spotlight". You can use the spotlight technique, like I did - you can check out tutorials and videos on this technique - or you may have your own idea for "spotlighting" on your project. Please head over to the challenge blog to get more inspiration.
For
my card I chose a flower stamp from Tim Holtz. I heat embossed with white on kraft on the background. For my "spotlight" piece I used kraft colored ink on white paper and watercolored the flowers. I used a sentiment from Lawn Fawn cut with a small banner die and added 3 translucent dots.
This will sadly be my final project as a DT member over at TioT. I have enjoyed my time with this friendly group of people and awesone challenge themes. It's just that I don't have enough time at the moment so I decided to step down. However, I will try and join their challenges in the future for fun, as I will continue to craft.

Incy Wincy Designs - Valentine / Love and/or No Pictures
At Inkspirational our challenge for the next two weeks is "Paper Piecing.
Persoanlly I think paper piecing is lots of fun, it's a great altnerative to coloring and a super way to use up some scraps.
For me card I chose to go CAS with a Penny Black stamp and DPs in different shades og greys and blues, except for the palm trees whre I used a green leftover piece and green Stickles glue. I left some buildings untouched. All windows were colored with a silver glitter gel pen. One single Pinkfresh gem was added to the star. The card is acutally quite sparkly, but it doesn't show in the picture.
