Rainbow Striped Card | Thinking of You | VIDEO | Promarker Colouring

Creating this card really had a purpose. Hubbys uncle in England was having heart surgery and we sent this card to him before the surgery. Luckily all went well and he is recovering. 

When I make cards I often have leftover strips from my card fronts - white paper strips. Some of these I have used to create this rainbow card. You can see the process from beginning to end in my video. 

You can use what you have to colour the white paper strips with. I have used Promarker pens for this card.

I have always loved enamel dots, so when Tonic came with the Nuvo Crystal Drops I was sold. I especially like the Crystal Drops because of the glossy look. 

Here in Denmark we are having some really warm summer days and it's too much to be outside in the sun. Staying in the shadow is just fine - especially my fair skin thanks me. 

Have a marvelous summer day,

Pia

Be A Unicorn | CAS-ual Fridays Stamps | Black & White

"Always be yourself unless you can be a unicorn then always be a unicorn"

Love this sentiment from a stamp set from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. This card is quick and simple! I could have left out shading the unicorn but I just thought it needed a little touch. Here I have used a watercolour brush with a gray ZIG Clean Colour pen.

It just had to be glitter with the unicorn, so I added this lovely champagne coloured glitter paper to the back base. The cardfront is adhered to the cardbase using 3D squares for a little dimension.

I also covered the entire unicorn with Wink of Stella. Again - it just has to be glitter when a unicorn is in the picture, right :)

Be a unicorn!

Pia :)

Good Luck on Your Exam | Watermark Background | Gittes Eget Design

Good luck on your exam or as we might say in Denmark Pøj Pøj med Eksamen. 

This card was created for as a design team projekt for the Danish webshop Hobbyboden.dk

This was part of a design team challenge with the theme to stretch your text stamps. This was my second go at this DT challenge.

I used my MISTI stamping tool to make the repeat stamping on the grey cardfront. For the stamping I used Watermark ink, which creates a darker shade of the original cardstock colour. How cool is that!

I made sure for each row of stamping that I shifted the position of the stamping a bit, so each row is a bit off. 

The sentiment I stamped with the same stamp again and added the extra text. This made the complete sentiment to be "Good luck on your exam". And in Danish "Pøj pøj med eksamen".

The cardfront is mounted with 3D squares and the sentiment is also mounted with 3D. This gives a little extra dimension. But I only use 2mm 3D squares so the card doesn't end up too thick. 

Last and final touch was a few bright yellow enamel dots which is a fab contrast to the grey. 

Crafty hugs,

Pia'
