Dokkecupen kort runde 2


Jeg har ikke vært flink å legge ut de forskjellige kortene jeg har laget til de ulike utfordringene på dokkecupen. Men her kommer kort nummer 2 til denne:
I haven't been posting my previous cards for the cardcup at Papirdokkene, but here's card number 2

Oppgave: Bildeinspirasjon
Str/format skal være alt annet enn 15x15 og så vil jeg se embossing.  

Assignment was picture inspiration.
Size/format should be anything but 15x15 and I want to see embossing too




For de av dere som var på shabby kurset på Papirfesten vil nok kjenne igjen mye av designet. Dette kortet er sterkt inspirert av det vi lagde på kurset, men jeg har laget min egen vri på denne. Materialliste kommer senere.

This card is inspired by the shabby class I took at Papirfesten, but I have made my own twist. List of materials will be in later!!

Med det samme vil jeg minne om at det er nye utfordringer på gang både hos Cutie Pie Challenge som har tema Think pink with rabbits , og det er  ca 1 uke igjen av Mother's Day/Craft Buddy utfordringen hos Top Tip Tuesday! Håper jeg ser dere der også!!

At the same time I will remind you that there is a new challenge over at Cutie Pie: Think pink with rabbits, and just past midway at the Mother's day/Craft buddy challenge over at Top Tip Tuesday! Hope I'll see you there too!!

Jeg leverer til følgende utfordringer/I'll deliver for these challenges:
Make it Monday: Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly: Bingo: (flowers, punched shapes, lace)
Creative Mondays: Anything Goes
Love to create: Anything Goes
Bunny Zoe's crafts: Shabby chic or vintage

This is my second project for the Squiggle stamps release to show you, and my second blogpost today. For my DT card for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge click here. They recently had a new release and advertised for guest designers to promote for their stamps. Naturally I applied and was lucky to get a yes from them.

Well enough blabbering around, here's my second project:

kraft cardstock
red and black bazill
DP from Maja design badlakan
Ribbon from Scrappejungelen
doily and flowers from my stash
Second ribbon unknown
Swirl from Magnolia doohickey
Pearl from storyteller
All edges distressed and the image has vintage photo D.I around the edges

My image is from Squiggle stamps as you already know and is called Jessabelle shop till drop. She is coloured with these promarkers: ivory, blush, tan, dusky rose, burgundy, crimson, poppy, black, umber, ice grey 1-5 and tea green.

You can buy these lovely stamps in the Squiggle stamp store here. There are 5 new ones in the latest release and they have several other lovely images in their store for you to buy as well. They also have a new challenge called birthday bash that you could join in if you like. 

This was my final project for this release and I certainly hope you've enjoyed the show!!
