Challenge Cards - Tussan's hÂnglar & stÂnglar Box

A while ago, I was one of the lucky ones, to win a Challenge Box from Tussan at the hÂnglar blog!
The beautiful box I got, was filled with beautiful paper pieces in georgeous colours, ribbon, flowers, brads, eyelets, floss and a charm. The challenge was to make a 15 x 15 cm card, with only the supplies I got in the box ;) So I did!
For my main card, I only added the aquarellpaper and the stamped hÂnglar image, a couple of texts, and of course ink.
But when I was finished with my main card, I still had some small pieces of beautiful paper left, so I decided to make a mini-card with it ;) For the mini-card I added a piece of ribbon and pearls, as embellishments.

This is what I came up with - using my Challenge Box supplies :)

STAMP & SCRAP

Soon I'm off to participate at the Stamp & Scrap - Mil and Mar, in Lillestrøm, together with the whole Ett trykk DT!!! Yey! I'm so looking forward to that - it's going to be a whole lot of fun!

Messehelg!!! Jippiiii!

I morgen braker det løs med ny messe i Skedsmohallen, og hele Ett trykk teamet er på plass hele helgen! Stikk bortom standen vår da vel - enten det bare er for å hilse på, skravle, shoppe eller delta på en av våre mange "makes 'n takes" demoer!

Her er en liten sneekpeek av hva demoen min innebærer ;)

♥ Thank you so much for visiting - have a splendid weekend! ♥

DT Ett trykk 04/09 Shimmering Backgrounds - a Card and a Glimmermist Tutorial, og Kurs på Ski-Treffet ;)

A theme in our issue 04/09 of Ett trykk, was shimmering backgrounds. I made a tutorial and a card (with my own background paper), using aquarellpaper, masks, glimmermist, stamps and ink.

Here's the card I ended up with ;)

Embellies: Papirloftet - Mulberry Flower, Wild Orchid Crafts - Roses and Rosebuds, Kort & Godt - Butterfly, Prima - Say it in Crystals, Organza Ribbon.


Tutorial:
You'll need:
* Aquarellpaper (cut in squares in the size you'd like - mine are about 13,5 x 13,5 cm)
* Masks (I've used Heidi Schwapp's butterfly masks)
* Glimmermist (in different shades of colour - here I've used Iridisent Gold, Riptide, Juniper and a mix of all three),
Not in the picture:
* Stamps (I've used Stampendous - "Butterflies", and Stempelglede - "Grunge Collection" and "Happy Birthday")
* Ink (in a darker colour than the darkest glimmermist colour).

Start with spraying the lightest colour all over the paper.

Place the masks, and spray with the next colour.

Replace masks, and spray with a darker colour.

Replace the masks one last time, and spray with the darkest colour.

When you've got it dark enough, you'll see that you have a pattern in different shades of colour. Spray again all over the paper with the lightest colour, to get a real shimmering effect.

The glimmermist work is now finished.

Pick matching stamps, and stamp images/sentiments where you want it, to add a bit more depht to the background/card.

Here's my finished, shimmering background paper, ready to be mounted on white and turqouise cardstock ;)

♥ Thank you for visiting - have a beautiful day! ♥
