Sweet Pea Stamps Design Card Contest

Hi there!
Really? My second blogpost today? Yey! I've got one day off from work, and I've unpacked all my scrapstash so I just couldn't wait to start coloring images again!!! :)
This card, I've made for the Card Designing Superstar contest at the Sweet Pea Stamps blog. I've been using a stamp by Elaine Cox, named Miranda. I love this stamp, along with so many other of the Sweet Pea Stamps. I've already spent way to much money on their amazing stamps, but I just can't resist them! And they are so much fun coloring up :) Which actually tells me that I would LOOOVE to win a $50 gift voucher from their amazing store!! Ha ha! ;o)
For the ones that love the Elisabeth Bell arts: Sweet Pea Stamps have 9 EB design stamps in their store (I've got 3 but I want the 6 next too... lol )
This card also goes to this week's challenge at Flutter By Wednesday's, where they have an open challenge :)
Well, enough writing, here are some pictures:

Yikes, it pisses me off that I don't know the name of the dp's! They are so lovely! I always take good care of the paper producent and name, but now I just can't find it!!! :( I would love it if someone could tell me, I'm pretty sure that they're from Basic Grey....?!
Well well, now I have some beds to fix, we're having visitors this weekend - a mother and her 5 kids :) So we're going to be 8 kids and three adults in the house all weekend (I'm NOT washing the house until Sunday! lol )
Wishing you all a great weekend - and remember to take care of the ones you love!!!!

SPS Challenge - Scary/Halloween Inspired

Heisann!

Idag er det på tide med en ny utfordring på Sweet Pea Stampers bloggen, og denne uka er utfordringa å lage noe med tema Scary/Halloween inspirert.
Jeg har ikke noe spesielt forhold til Halloween, og eier ingen Halloween stempler. Men så er min datter invitert i Halloween bursdag hos en venninne i slutten av måneden, så da tenkte jeg at det kunne passe godt å lage et kort til henne med denne utfordringa :)
Fortsatt er ikke alt på plass i vårt nye hjem, og jeg har ikke helt oversikten over hva jeg har og ikke har i hobbyeskene mine. Men jeg fant et lilla ark fra Nille sammen med designpapirene mine, det ligner litt på edderkopper som er i arket, så jeg fant ut at det kunne passe :)
Kortet mitt passer også til månedens utfordring hos Trykkpressa, der man skulle lage noe med minst to av "Halloween fargene" lilla, oransje og sort.
Her kommer kortet jeg har laget: (Skissen er faktisk inspirert av skisseutfordringa i siste utgave av Ett Trykk som jeg ikke rakk å delta i pga flyttinga - men herlig skisse var det!!)
Kortet leveres også til månedens utfordring hos In A Sweet Pea Dream, der det er åpen utfordring :)

Her kommer noen bilder av kortet mitt:


Det ferdige kortet


Nydelig stempelmotiv av ching-chou kuik for Sweet Pea Stamps


Gratulerer med dagen !!


En edderkoppcharm som sitter fast i en sort tøyblomst som jeg har tatt vare på fra en gammel hårbøyle


Noen gamle urvisere - har forsøkt å få de til å se ut som "fasteners" samtidig som de fungerer som roseblad/-stilker og/eller henspeiler til ei klokke som snart viser midnatt.... ;)


Detaljer om kortet:
Størrelse: 15 x 15 cm
Blekk: Archival Ink Coffee. Distress Ink Walnut Stain
Stempel: ching-chou kuik for Sweet Pea Stamps Purple Comfort
Papir: Sort og oransj kartong fra Ursus. Lilla designpapir fra Nille
Annet: Sort tøyblomst resirkulert fra en ødelagt hårbøyle, urviserne er fra en gammel klokke. Sort blonde vunnet i en candy. Oransje bånd, edderkoppcharm. Stickles Crystal og Starry Night, Liquid Pearls White Opal
Teknikker: Motivet er fargelagt med Distress Ink refillere, kantene på designpapiret er revet med en kantskraper.



I helga fyller vi huset - det blir 8 barn mellom 10 mnd og 9 år så her blir det nok en livlig helg ;)
Ønsker dere alle en flott helg sammen med de dere er glade i.

Varme klemmer,
