"Spring Butterfly"




Hello!:)
Today I have this cards to show you, that I made with  one of the newest ching-chou kuiks  images on sale now, at Sweet Pea Stamps.
Her name is Spring Butterfly, and you can find here here, sheet 36,-Plate #143!
I have coloured her with Prisma Premier Pencils, and the paper is from TPC studio."Grandma's attic"!
I have painted some of the flowers, paper and garnish with white Gesso, and I like the "Shabby look":)
I LOVE butterflies, so this image was a perfect choice for me!
I've added some glitter (Stickles-Star Dust) on her wings:)
All the flowers are from Prima, and was originally a flower branch, which I cut up!
The swirl is a dies from Marianne Design, and butterfly punch from M.S.
I dont know the name og the fabric behind the image ( is it harsh?;D).

Well, there's definitely a lot of ching-chou stamps to inspire, so I will definitely make more cards with these beautiful images:)
Wish you all a warm and sunny summer day♥!:)

Vintage eske med Pion !:)



Hei hei alle sammen!:)
Innleggene blir ikke lange nå som sommervarmen har kommet hit, men et besøk på hobbyrommet har det blitt da;).
Resulatet ble denne gave esken! Den har jeg brukt Pion papir på, creme og gammelrosa Bazill:)

 Punchet en kant rundt på lokket, og motivet er også fra Pion Design, samme som ordene "Drøm om morgendagen...". Sommerfulgene er også fra klippearket.
Jeg har brukt papir fra serien  "Minnenas Atelje"-Ros og Rosenhav♥, og e er enda vakrere i virkeligheten, enn på bilde!:)
Blomstene er, som vanlig, fra WOC:). Den søte lille poselen dukken er fra Tim H.

 Bunnen og lokket:). Alle deler har fått paneler med Bazill, og papir fra klippearket til Pion Design.
Stempel teksten inne i bunnen er fra Heartfelt  design.
Teksten var liiitt lang, så jeg har klippet den opp, og satt det sammen som du ser på bildet her:)

 Liitt nærmere øyesyn på den skjønne porselen dukken, og de vakre blomstene!

 Her må jeg vise under esken også, for disse papirene er såå utrolig vakre, og jeg vil ikke skjule noen deler av dem!!:)) 
Mitt personlige stempel er stemplet på en "tag", fra et annet av Pion's- utklippsark.
Det var alt jeg hadde på hjertet i kveld, for nå skal jeg ta meg en inspirerende runde rundt hos dere!!:)
Ha en superduper kveld, og strålende soldag i morgen!!:)

Recipe
Size: 6" x 6"
Folding: Gift box-15 x 15 cma
