Greytones with homemade flower

For this card I did two things I've never done before. I  colored an image in greytones to make a black and white look, for the lovely hÄnglar or sweet Magnolia challenge: Main Character grey-tones or black and white, everything else coloured.
The lovely Midweek Magnolias challenge this week is May Flowers: Add flowers to your creation.
So I tried to make a flower.

I used papers from the lovely Pion Design, spellbinders, pearls, lace, rubbons (letters) and flowers from stash. Tim Holts distressink- vintage photo for distressing the edges, 3 different size flowerpunches. The sentiment is Norwegian and translates to:"New generations".

 Coloring the stamp "Tildas family" with copics, I used W9-7-5-3-1 and blender.

Here's my homemade flower. i used 3 differen size flowerpunches. Distressed the edges and curled them a little before I glued them together.

Babycard

Hello again.Its been a productive weekend for me. And my lovely man was kind enough to take such wonderful pictures of my cards- he's the best. And he takes such great photos.
I made this card for my daughters best friends family, who just had a b.aby last week.
I woul like to enter the card in to the following challenges:
Hei. Min datters bestevenninne har fått en liten bror, selvsagt må de få et kort, og jeg fikk en sjanse til å bruke dette søte stempelet! Min snille samboer har vært så grei å ta bildene for meg, fine- ikke sant!
Kortet er mitt bidrag i 3 utfordringer:

Magnolia Down Under
It's a mangolia challenge
Papirdokkene

Magnolia Down Under is a great blog with lots of fun challenges every time. I'm proud to say I made the top 6 last week- yeah for me:) This weeks challenge is BINGO- I chose dies /punches, flowers, glitter/bling. Utfordringen her denne uken var bingo, jeg valgte dies/punc, blomster og glitter/bling.

It's a mangolia challenge Is a blog i just discoverd this week. Their challenge is to make a stepcard with a magnolia stamp on it. This was fun, I have never made a stepcard before, but it was
 not as hard as i thought. Denne bloggen oppdaget jeg nylig. Deres utfordring er å lage et step-card med et magnoliastempel på. Jeg har ikke prøvd meg på step card før, men det var ikke så vanskelig som jeg trodde:)

Papirdokkene is a Norwegian challengeblog I've been following but never entered. Their topic is "anyting goes". Papirdukkene er en norsk utfordingsblogg jeg har fulgt med på, men aldri deltatt. Denne utfordringen er "alt er lov".
 

I used Martha Steward Punch for the edge around the front, the swirls and leaves are QK dies, and spellbander nestabillities for the shape arund the stamp, bulberry flowers, and bling on the side and on the bottom card to keep the front standing. The papars ar Maja design.
Jeg har brukt Martha Steward Punch rundt kanten på kortet, swirlene og bladene er QK dies, og jeg har brukt spellbander nestabillities til kanten rundt stempelet, blomstene er Bulberry flowers, og jeg har brukt bling på siden av fronten, og på den delen kortet står på for å holde det stående. Papirene er fra  Maja design.

The magnolia stamp is Tilda's Family, very cute stamp, colored with my Copics.
Jeg har brukt stempelet "Tildas family" fra Magnolia. Stempelet er farget med Copics.

I left some room for a personal message on the card too.

Inni er det litt plass til å skrive en personlig hilsen.

Old Treasures

This card is inspired by the Magnolia down under challenge #138: Old Treasures.
I got this stamp and dies for my birthday recently and had to try them out:)

I used papers from Peon Design, bulberry flowers, Panduro pearls, Fyndmark letter stickers , charms and some glossy accent on the baby to make it pop. The image is colored with copics.

The old treasures are corrugated cardboard (with some white paint) and a small hariclip used by my daughter when she was a toddler. (this card will stay in the family for sure:)).
