Today I've used the new and beautiful image, by Rebecca Zinz, called "The Duchess".
You can find here on Plate 147, together with some other beauties!
 I made this card for the confirmation day, to a very sweet girl, and I hope she's going to like it!:)

The image is colored  with my Prisma Premier Pencils, and I've used a lot of Gesso on this card:)).
 I painted the flowers with white Gesso, ad then I added lot of Stickles-Frosted Lace, and I think it gave the card a little  more "cooler feeling", and remember .. this is a Duchess!:)
The textil behind the image is a piece of "chees cloth" who's painted with some white:) Nice effect!!

 Zoomed in a little bit!:)

Clooser up to the "cool flowers, and The beautiful  Duchess!

The next stop on your hop is the amazing Katarina, who I am sure will blow you away with her awesomeness!!
Have a great hop and don't forget to leave a comment at the end to be in the running for some fabulous prizes (we have the most generous boss lady ever!!)

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

 Hei på dere!:) Her er det litt stille om dagen, men..puuuh, jeg har litt å henge fingrene i for det, men det skjer i "det skjulte",hehe.
Her er mitt første bidrag, som DT medlem, til Sweet Pea! Det er vel ingen hemmelighet, for de som har vært innom bloggen min, at jeg har forelsket meg helt i disse vakre stempelene:)). Så da jeg fikk muligheten til å være med i DT..så jublet jeg høyt!!:)))
Skriver disse innleggene på engelsk (så godt jeg kan;DD), så slipper jeg å skrive såå veldig masse. Blir nok "mas" allikevel herifra, tenker jeg,hihi.
Dette er innlegg nr 2 idag, og klokken er bare 12.30!:)) Håper jeg kan forandret på det for senere!
Ønsker i hvertfall alle en knallgod og fredelig søndag!!:))

Hello everone!:)
Wooow, I'm a little bit exited, because today I manages to finish my first DT card for Sweet Pea stamps. I love the cute look on this beautiful girl's face, and just had to make something bright and cheerful. She was the very first Sweet Pea image I colored, and at that time...I was "in love":)). This image is from the talented-
Ching-chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collection and is called 'Love is Gone', and you can find her here plate 29.

You can get her as a single stamp as well.:)
So here is my "Sweet Pea" card, soft and simple:). I want the lovely image to be the main of card:)

These lovely words, are from a Sweet Pea stamp, and I stamped them on to a dies from Marianne Design.
