DT Sketchy Colors #69-Sketch Challenge


Da er det søndag igjen, og det betyr at vi er klare med en ny utfordring fra Sketchy Colors#69:)
Denne uken har vi en kjempeflott skisse, laget av min søte DT venn, Lena Katrine!:)
Så ta turen over til Sketchy Colors, og ta en titt!

 Premien denne måneden er sponset av Scrapbook Nook.

*****
 
Then it's Sunday again, and Sketchy Colors#69 are ready with a new challenge:) 
This week it's a great sketch, made by the lovely DT Lena Katrine!:). So head over to Sketchy Colors#59, and take a look!♥

The prizes each week in May are sponsored by Scrapbook Nook:

Til dette kortet har jeg brukt "sexybomben" Honey Sparks fa Kenny K;), og den lille bilen bak er et "Ferrari"-stempel fra Kreativ Hobby.
Motivet er med Prisma Premier Pencil, og så hatt  Glossy Accent på solbrillene hennes:). 
Bilen har jeg fått prøvd meg med Copic's (for første gang, og jeg tror det får bli med det;DD).
Kortet er laget til en ung  kjekk mann, som skal feire sin 30 års dag imorgen. Han jobber som bilmekaniker, så jeg håper dette kortet er velegnet som et bursdagskort til han.:))
Papirene er fra Graphic 45, og jeg synes disse er råå!!:))

*****
For my card I've used the super sexy Honey Sparks from Kenny K's, and a "Ferrari" stamp, from Kreativ Hobby. I colored the lady" with Prisma Premier Pencils,and added glaze to her sun glasses.  The car is colored with Copic (uuehh, my first one, and it will be a looong time to the next try;DD)
This card is made a young and hadsome man, who's celebrating his 30 year tomorrow. 
He is working as an car mechanic, so I thought this image was a perfeckt choice for his birthday card:))
The paper is from Graphic 45, and I love them;).

Det meste som er brukt på dette kortet er fra Tim H. produkter.

****
I've used a lot of Tim.H. products  on this card.
Jaja, nok et staffelikort!:))

DT Gode Minner- kort og tilhørende tag med-"Graphic45"


Håper dere alle har noen deilige vårdager, og får tid til å nyte alt som spirer, gror og den vakre grønnfargen som pynter opp i naturen nå!!:)
Her kommer jeg med et noe annerledes kort, enn dere sikker er vant til å se fra denne kanten:))
For april DT-ufordringen hos Gode Minner fikk jeg ark fra Graphic 45 "Curtain Call", og først så tenkte jeg....hodebry..;DD, men satte meg ned, og begynte på dette kortet og den tilhørende tag'en. 
Synes arkene var sååå lekre at jeg dro bort for å kjøpe noen flere, til papirsamlingen min,hihi.
Så her kommer et bilderas!:))

 Det er stort sett elementer fra design papirene jeg har brukt, men pyntet opp med Tim Holtz filmstrip's, rosett-dies og et "Kiss" charms:)
 Nydelig motiv..hmmm, er det fra "Tatt av vinden", eller er det fra "Bonnie and Clyde"?:)
Filmstativet er klippet ut, og satt på 3d puter. Den sorte fjæren har jeg hatt liggende lenge, og "Cinema-billetten" er fra arket:)
 Laget en tilhørende tag til kortet. Har rufset, og svertet alle kanter med Distress- Walnut Stain. Både på kortet og tag'en  har jeg brukt T.H. Distress-sort bazill under mønsterarkene.

 Tim H. filmstrip ribbon, og "Story" Adage ticket, som er festet med stifter:) Hull forsterkeren er også fra Tim Holtz. Hyssingen er lagt i kaffebad, så den ser gammel ut!:))

 Baksiden med plass til å skrive en liten hilsen:)
Punchet ut retro blomster og satt på svarte perler.
Stemplet "Friendship" fra Stempelglede.

Puuuh, det var alt for denne gang!:) 
Har dere følgt med helt hit, så er jeg imponert:)).
Tusen takk for alle inspirerende kommentarer, og ha en strålende vårdag!
Klem, Ellen
