Flyin' high!

This lady is one of my favourites!! A chubby but still dishy, middle-aged witch: can it get any better?!!
You find her here. The text on the tag is this one. The clouds are made with the help of a stencil.

Sunny smiles, Monica =)

Tuesday tip

Yesterday I made a card with a lovely little grey mouse. To day I will show you how I made the mouse pop out like 3D.

This is how to do it:

You need:

a stamp on a acrylic block ( I use Ludde med skylt)

ink (I use StazOn because I use distress inks to color with)

colors

paper to stamp on

I always stamp three times. One to use as the base, on to cut out from and one extra. One of them should have plenty of empty space around, so you can cut a square out for the finished card.

Now you start coloring. I like to color the basestamp all over, eventhough it will not show in the end. The cut-out stamp I only color the pieces I need. My extra stamp is needed for the sign the teddy is holding. I will stamp a little word on it. You can choose to write or use stickers instead. 

Now you need to cut out all the little pieces. I put them on a extra piece of paper, so you can se what I cut out. Put 3D tape on all the small pieces.

Here is the finished teddy.

Perhaps it is easier to see the different layers from this angle.

And here is my finished card using my 3D teddy.

The teddys eyes and nose are made with glossy accent. Love the effect.

Actually I used my sketch from yesterday to make the card:

Sketch monday

Its my turn to make a sketch to you to inspire you to make cards. This time I made a very simple sketch, so you easily can change it.

Heres my sketch for you:

And here's a card I made with a lovely little grey mouse (of course a stamp by Stämpelkällan) holding a card that says congratulations (from the danish textset):

I covered the eyes with glossy accent. And I just love the effect. The mouse really came alive.

I hope my sketch gave you some inspiration, and would love to se your card if you use my sketch. Please leave a link under comments.

Tomorrow I will show you how I made the mouse pop out.

See you tomorrrow! Benita

DT-call

Hello!!!

Now that we're well into the new year we are going to have a DT-call. Our Nettan has decided to leave us, and we are looking for a replacement...  One person to fill her shoes. We are also looking for three people to be our Guest DT's during March through May. Whaddaya say? ;)

Here's what we are looking for in a regular DT:

• You should have your own blog (that you actually use and update).
• You will participate in our team projects, that's two projects every three weeks (Stamp of the Week and Project of the Week).
• You will make a sketch and a tuesdaytip 3-4 times/year.
• Sometimes we have something extra, like a challenge or a bloghop, and you should be able to make inspirational items for at least some of them.
• And of course you must display our banners on your blog and advertise us (goes without saying, doesn't it?)

What we want from our Guest DT's:

• You should have your own blog.
• You will participate in our team projects, that's two projects every three weeks (Stamp of the Week and Project of the Week).
• You will make a GDT-post every third Thursday. 
• If you have the possibility to make some inspirational items for our occasional challenge or bloghop, that would be appreciated.
• And of course you too must display our banners on your blog and advertise us.

What you will get from us; You will get your own DT-badge and a watermark for your images. You will get a lot of free rubber stamps, and a whoppin' 50% discount in the shop during your DT-period! And you have a chance of making a lot of new friends. :D

Now here's what we'd like you to do;

• Make a project using one of our stamps, the digi freebies will do just fine too. It should represent your style of crafting. We do have a lot of inspiration right here on the blog if you need it; have a look at our sketch book...
• Once you've made the project, blog it! Use our banner (available on the right) to link to us (to show extra effort, link to the shop as well!).  ;)
• Come back here and leave us a link so that we may find you and your project.
• The deadline is Sunday the 29th of January!

We are welcoming people from all around the world!
