DT work for combo at Les Papiers de Pandore

Earlier this month there was a post up on the Pandore blog sharing a few pages made by DT members for a pretty new colour combination.

 This is my page here:

 A inspiration for my page I used this latest sketch from Sketchabilities:

 And here is the beautiful colour combo:

For the grey colour I used a special technique for a relief patterned background.

Using my new Cameo I cut several scalloped borders and making them overlap  I glued them to my page underneath the photo.

 The titleword 'Remember' and the speechbubble 'I love you' were also made with the Silhouette. Flowers are mostly from Prima and Papirdesign.

 I sewed the title to my page. I find that works so well when the title is less bulky like here.

 The green canvas banner is by Prima and come plain off white. I used a mist by Studio Calico 

to add the right green colour to it.

 That's all for now.
The upcoming week will be quite a busy one with the week-long PaperHaus bloghop starting on
June 1st and my turn to post on my DT blogs coming up as well in the next days....
So I'll have plenty to share soon!

Hugs!!

A page in blue for DT Papirdesign

Hello again my dear scrappy friends! I wanted to share a page I did for a recent post at Papirdesign showcasing a few of my favourite things from them.
Ok, let me just say that choosing just a few  favourite products is not easy since Papirdesign has so many great ones to choose from!

But,...those who know me a little will probably guess that I am in love with all the beautfiful flowers. You would be right, but then there's the alphas, -and the bling swirls,...and ,...and...

Just imagine all those great colours...Another favourite is the great chipboard.

I made the white title with my new Cameo and used a stencil for all the white gessoed dots.
And here are some closeups of some of the pretty mini roses and chipboards from Papirdesign .



 


Just a short one from me today as I have so much to prepare for my daughters upcoming graduation.
Come to think of it I will share a few pictures from her prom with you soon.
Hugs!!

Pandore 'Focus on woodgrain paper' and a PaperHaus blog hop to come!

Hi there and happy Friday to you!!

Well, I found this post among the drafts on my blog supposed to be published months ago. :-)

I actually made these cards for a special feature on how to use the beautiful woodgrain paper belonging to the 'Lovely Birds' collection from Les papiers de Pandore. My cards are more on the simple side than my normal style,but I had limited time and wanted to take part. 

HERE s a link back to the Pandore blog and you can see the very beautiful projects of my fellow DT members.

I'll be back in a day o two to share one more of my projects that were up on their respective manu blog this week but that I have yet to post here.

Before I go I just wanted to share this graphic with you:

I hope you will stay tuned and join us.
The whole set up will be a little different this time to make it less monumental!!


 Hugs, and enjoy the week end!!

'Memories' using the new Inkido 'Beautiful Memories 2'

A few days ago I received the new collection from Inkido in the mail. I love the new colours they have come up with, and all is made to mix and match perfectly with the previous release 

'Beautiful Memories'.

Here is my first lo with the new papers:
(I noticed  there's a little fly that wanted to be in the shot,...can you see it?)

And of course the usual lot of close ups,...-if you get bored just scroll on down... :-)

A short while ago I bought my new toy from Cassie at Paper Issues. 

Yup, I am now the proud owner of a brand new Silhouette Cameo.  

I was a bit worried that I would find the learning process a bit tedious and just leave it in the box more or less, but that has not been the case. Together with my 12 year-old I unpacked it and installed it and it was actually not hard at all. I imagine it will take some time before I feel I can grasp all the details and possibilities but I can already do many of the things I wanted it for!!

( Remember that using my code BENTE20 will take 20% off the price at checkout at PI. )

I based my page on several layers. 

All the papers I layered  are from the new Inkido collection called 'Beautiful Memories 2'.

I have mainly used the beige group of papers here as well as one of the pink ones.

The first layer got some gesso and a lick of paint around the edges. I used one of my fave Martha Stewart large punches on layer number two. And finally for my third background sheet I arrived at using my new Cameo toy. cut out a grid on almost a whole sheet of paper. I think that is so neat!!

Even the title was cut with my new electronic toy and I love the way it turned out. 

The titles were actually one of the main reasons I started looking into buying one.

A couple of more close ups of the pretty Inkido products. 

I have added a few Prima flowers here but the majority of the flowers are from Inkido. 

And I also added some of their bling stones in pink.

I am also entering this into the challege to use doilies on your project at Little Red Wagon.

I hope you liked my page and thanks for any friendly messages you may leave me :-)

Hugs!!
