Butterflies

Welcome to my blog friends :)
We are having a new challenge at Copic Marker Norge today and the theme is set to
Butterflies

I love this theme and when I saw this wonderful image from Saturated Canary I knew I just had to buy it. I think it is one of the most beautiful images I have and I loved colouring her lovely hair and dress

As usual we have a wonderful prize for the winner, so get out your Copic markers and get ready :)
We are also having a BIG summer challenge at CMN with an even more fabulous prize for the winner. I will tell you more about this some other day :)

Here is my inspiration card for you:
Stunning lady!!!

Love to use these colours :)
My papers are from Inkido and MF
flowers from WOC
Butterflies from Cheery Lynn design
Charm from Kort og Godt, saying Happy Birthday

Notice the wonderful pin on the side!
It makes every card look like a masterpiece, I think it is so beautiful!
I got it as a gift from my sweet blogfriend Susan, an amazing talented crafter and she has a lot of wonderful trinkets in her Etsy shop. Head over and check it out!

Under the water

Good evening my friends!
I have made a card with one of my fantastic Mayzy Art images. This one is called "Seafoam the Mermaid" and you can find this one and a bunch of other wonderful images here.
 I think these images are perfect when you love colouring as they takes a bit of time with the big hair and the folds, but the end result is really nice I think!!

Here we go:
Woooohooo, what a fabulous image!!
I draw some bubbles around her and tried to make it looks like she is under water :)

I have made a gate fold card, and closed it with tiny magnets under the lovely designpaper from Maja design. I am so in love with these papers and I think they fit every project I make :)

Inside I have made a writing space and used my punch around the page from Martha Stewart.

I have tryed a new thing for me, to use different colours on the same area, like her tail here. It is both blue, green and yellow and I loved the effect!!
My Copics:
Skin: E11-21-00
Hair: E59-39, YR 24, Y15, E50
Tail: BG 13-11-10, Y11-000, BG 01-000
Top: BG 57-01-000
Lips: R59-46-29
Eyes: E39-35-33-31
Belt: E59-57-55
Around her i have made bubbles with a Copic multiliner and BG 72-70, B01-00-0000 and covered the bubbles with stickles

Hope you like my card today :)
Big hugs to you!!

Magnolia...

I don't think I have made a Magnolia card in almost a year...
Don't know why, really...
But some days ago I found this little cutie in my drawer, already coloured and my sister needed a card so I took this little Tilda and paired her with some lovely Maja design papers and the card was born...
Here it is and I hope you like it!
 She is a real little darling this image :)
I am not sure of her name, as I got her from my sweet friend Laurie a looong time ago
Swirl from Memory Box, butterflies from CL
Flowers from WOC

A really simple back, but quite nice I think :)

I must say my colouring skills are a little better now maybe, lol, but the colours together are just wonderful and fit perfect in with the new Maja papers (God I love this collection!)

Ok that was all for now.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend

Hugs, bugs friends :)
