A Hello from Norway

Wow, it has been a while since last time I posted something, shame on me.

I have had the urge for playing with Lou`s Stall card tutorial since I got my eye on her card. I think this is such a fun card to make something a bit different.

And when I got my new digi bundle, Mannequin,, I really had no choice, my head started spinning. So I downloadet the images, printed out this Saloon image and started to play. 

Both the card and the image cried for something,  or a little Steampunk inspirated. Lucky me, I had some paper left from the Steampunk collection from Graphic45.

So I made the card base first, and it wasn`t too difficult, it was really fun :-) 

I had printed out two of the Saloon images and inverted one. So I colored them in with my copics, glued a plastic stip between and had them back to back. 

Here is a close up of the dress.

The colours I used are:

Dress: BG57 - BG75- Atyou Spica Turquoise

Hat: Y32 - YR12 - YR65 - E97- 

Flower: RV95 - E004 - R56 - G24- Atyou Spica - Pink and Melon

and the greens are: G43 - G24

The plastic stripe was for having the image standing by itself. I also cut between alle the small little lines... that took some time.

When this was made I started to play with the embellishments. I had some chipboard gears and I wanted to try out the Tattered Angels natural aged painted system, so I started and, yes I was satisfied with the result and it was fun.

For the rest I just digged through my stash and took what I though could be Steampunk. Some feather, leaves , flowers, metall cears and some stickers from Jolee.

Here are some more pictures of my project.

Here is the front of the card.

But first I have to make a couple of wedding card for a friend.

Mannequin: NEW DOWNLOAD BUNDLE!!

I am super excited today! Why? I hear you ask. Well, because we have a brand new bundle of digital goodness for you: "Mannequin"; created by the wonderfully talented Louise Brigden, who is behind all the Charmed Downloads. 

Create fabulous fashion cards with this super duper collection, and guess what! Each image works our at just 75p each!! Yep, you heard it correctly, 75 pennies, hard to believe I know :) 

 

I had to get creating and made two very easy to make cards. My first card uses paper piecing. I used a textured paper from the new Lillibet collection, absolutely perfect for the dress. I have layered it twice, and left the second layer unstuck at the bottom for a lovely 3-dimensional effect.  The collection has each image in two formats: JPG and PNG, so the transparent PNG format is perfect for printing on patterned paper like this.

 All the paper is from the Lillibet collection (12x12 pad), as is the metal butterfly. I used the Bop Dress Mannequin here. Metal brad in butterfly is Basic Grey. Other products: Small Paper Rose - Cream Lace - Cream Pearls.


 My next card uses the "Dressing" Mannequin.  I have used the following here: Marianne Design Dies (Ivy and Petra's Bridge (LR0276) ) - Flower Soft Polar White - Red and Gold Stickles - Marianne Lace - Basic Grey Paper - White Pearls.

These images really are amazing. One of the best things about digital images is that you can use them time and time again, you never run out; PLUS you can get exactly the size you need for your project.  Go get them! :)
