Vaskeklut

De siste dagene har jeg kost meg med å strikke litt igjen.

og vaskehansken (som vi sier på Vestlandet),
er veldig god i bruk!
Vaskevotten er strikket i 100% bomull og kan vaskes på 60°C.

to draw the brown "frame" around the flowers.
Outside the oval I coloured the tag

with dry distress ink on a dry paint brush.

The tags are double.



Flower Tag

Double tag.
Image: Beccy.
Lilac distress ink and pen around the edges,
also inside.


Strawberry Tag

Image: Beccy.
Two of the berries were glued twice on the tag
to give a sort of 3D effect.
The photo does not show it well.
Brown distress ink and red pen
on the edges outside and inside the tag.


Two more Children's Tags

Also this afternoon I made some tags.
I sat outside, and the the pictures were made as the sun was shining.
Too dark shadows, I now see.

I used the Rocking Horse image from Beccy,
Lilac pen and distress ink on the edges outside and inside the tags.




Children's Gift Tag 2

And here comes the next one,
also with an "Ellie" image from Beccy.


Children's Gift Tag 1

It is so good to have small gift tags ready.
With eleven grandchildren in our family,
there is always a birthday to celebrate.
So just now I am about to make some tags.
On the first one I placed the image "Ellie and Tippy" from Beccy
on the outside of the tag.
The tag is double, and there is enough place inside for a greeting.
I also used green pen and brown distress ink at the edges.
The fitting ribbon will come
when I know for whom of the kids the tag will be.


Mother's Day II

For my second Mother's Day card this spring
I also used a Beccy-image.
I printed the pre coloured "Sweet Peas" on cream paper
and used a bit of the same paper for the little hand cut banner.
Greeting in German "Mama, you are the best",
written on computer.
Embossing folder: Tim Holtz.
Two Rhinestones,
Brown distress ink on the banner.


Sweet Peas

For this greeting card I printed the image on the cream paper instead of on a white one, as I usually do.
I don't agree with myself if that was
a good ida or not.
I also used white card stock for the double card
and green scrap paper for the butterfly.
Embossing folder: Tim Holtz.
Butterfly die: Studio Light.
Glitter, brown pen.
Tool: Cuttlebug.

The last days I could sit outside with my crafting.

Book Mark / Lesezeichen / Bokmerke

"It is good to thank the Lord".
The book mark is made with hand writing and doodling
on white card stock.

Out Of The Box

Today I made a card,
not at all like my way of making cards.
This is really out of the box for me.

I used:
White card stock,
Marbled paper (from Sigel).

The last one from Mae West is an old stamp I have had for years.

The circles are made with Spellbinders Circle dies
from a white card stock
which I had coloured with Dylusions
and a Tim Holtz stencil.
A little splashing, doodling and hand writing.



Have A Lovely Day

Today I wanted to make a card with happy colours,
just to cheer someone up these Corona times.
I used a Tim Holz stencil (Bubble Layering) that I bought last week
and sprayed it with Dylusions.
The MS butterfly I had punched for months,
and it only waited for a card to be used on.
The stamp "Have a lovely day" is from Craft Sensations.
White cardstock,
Yellow Paper,
and a little bit doodling.




Easter / Spring Card

For this Easter card
I made the background with a self made stencil
on a patterned paper.

and used Nuvo Shimmer Powder "Cherry Bomb"
to get that special pink.
The green dots are made with a green pen.
I used the same pen for the faux stitches.
The image is Cottage Cutz "Daffodil Flower Stamp And Die",
painted with Tombow and Water color pencils.

and my Journaling Bible is written in German.
