Flower fairy inspiration project

Bettina here today. I am going to show you a piece with our latest digital release. Flower fairy is absolutely gorgeous, and will be a beautiful centerpiece no matter what you are making with her.

She's so gorgeous looking that I decided that she needed to be the center of attention and added a minimum of embellies to go along with her. I embossed the background paper and added some leftover ribbon and a music note charm from stash. The sentiment is one I have gotten with a rubber stamp pack. The little glitter around the image gives the perfect touch for our little beauty.  She's coloured with my promarkers. You can get Flower fairy here. 

A little reminder that there is 5 days left to get your fall project into our newest challenge over here.

Witch and a Kitty release

It's monday and time for me, Bettina, to have a little inspiration post for you today. We've got a new release going on at The East Wind today and she is sooo cute. Just you wait and see. I've gone ahead and made a treat bag from scratch and she's the perfect fit for it.

Isn't she the cutest little witch you've ever seen? And what a great way to go trick and treat with this little bag too!!

I've used my Martha Stewart spider border punch and some letters from Tim Holtz and the cheesecloth in the background kinda makes her just a little bit spooky. 

Witch and a kitty can be bought in the store over here. Remember you got almost 3 days to play along with our Birthday Princess challenge here and we've got a Aaargh Pirates fb challenge going on until the 17th over here. 

Dress Up play release showcase

A little card designed with currogated cardboard from me, Bettina, today. I've used gesso paint and added shabby blue embossing enamel for the background paper. Behind my gorgeous little ice princess I've used some stashed away diecuts and added stormy sky and vintage photo distress inks on the edges. 

The image is called Dress Up Play and is the newly released image from The East Wind. I've coloured her with my beloved promarkers. 

Our newest challenge "For the kiddies" is still up and running until august 25. You can play along here.

Bettina showcasing Lucy Loo Pirates release

I've used some gorgeous papers from FabScraps and Bo Bunny and added diecuts from Marianne design and LaLaLand  to make a scenery worthy of a pirate. The twine is in shape of a wave, after all the pirates belong to the sea. I've coloured her with my promarkers and have even more details in my blog.

Bettina's It's getting hot challenge project

It's monday and time for another showroom showcase from me, Bettina, today. I've decided to show you my recent challenge project as we still have a new challenge going on at the challenge blog. 

For my It's getting hot project I've decided to use additional butterflies (joy diecut) and one from Prima to add to the Aurora Spring Butterfly image I've used for this one. I think it kinda gives a summer effect. I went with lots of purple as that is one of my favourite colours for summer as well!!

a little closer for more details 

I've used additional flowers and added lace and doily for some elegance.

There is still time to play along with our current It's getting hot challenge over here

Have an awsome monday!!

Bettina's showcase for challenge #8

Good morning everyone. Today is my turn to showcase my project for challenge 8 over at The East Wind. Since it is the first challenge of the month it means its a freebie challenge. Theme for these two weeks is embossing - dry or wet. 

When I first layed my eyes on this beauty Aurora, I had an idea of a blonde gardener, just like me when I wander around in the garden in the sun. Just love that. She was such a joy to colour. I used a sketch and made a little scene with her using diecuts. Little Aurora is coloured with my beloved promarkers. Hope you like my little project. You can find more details in my little blog over here.

Bettina's showcase for challenge # 7 The Bride of may

Bettina here and  seems like I am the first to go showcasing our new and fabolous Bride of May challenge. I made a WOW heart shaped wedding card for this one and in easel design. Here goes:

and a little closeup

I used my new Marianne design heart shaped dies to make the heart shape and folded and added an additional heart on the top. I've used shabby pink frantage around the shapes. Lucy Loo Mystiosis is coloured with my promarkers. There is still time to join in on our challenge over here. 

Bettina's challenge #6 project

Here's my latest card with the diecut and/or punches theme. I have used the fab monthly freebie called Love Mum that you can get if you sign up for our newsletter in the sidebar!! Each month there will be a new freebie at the start of the month!!

I have used my promarkers to colour her up.Have a look:

I decided to go with a sketch and add a lot of diecuts and flowers on to it. I dedicated this card to my dear beloved mum that is no longer with us. I also added a lot of frantage around the image, and around the designpapers. I love the effect it made!!

Bettina's humour project

We have a fun challenge over at The East Wind for this round. Create something with a sense of humour in it. This can be shared in our challenge post over here. My image is called Ghetto Fabolous Ashley signature pose and is coloured with my belowed promarkers. Here she is:

and a little closing in on the image: 

I've used my Go Kreate dies for the shape and some design papers from a Norwegian paper company. My other diecuts are from La La Land,(crown) Marianne Design(oval shape) and Memory box (notes). I've used a sentiment from TLC and some gems from stash. Hope you have a fab saturday. 

Bettina's april freebie post

Hello everyone! It's Bettina here today to share a little more details about my card for the latest East Wind Challenge using Aurora Easter Egg Hunt! Remember you can subscribe to our newsletter to get the freebie of the month to work with! You can subscribe by clicking the little button on the right hand sidebar of the challenge blog if you don't get the newsletter already!!

I absolutely loved working with her and she inspired me to make a circle side step card. You can find a tutorial for that over here. I used a grand nestabilities die to make the shape for this card and picked up some leftover DP's from stash to work with. My flowers are from WOC and North Star Stamps. My lace is also from WOC and I used a Cheery lynn dies to make the background doily in purple. 

Aurora Easter Egg Hunt is coloured with both promarkers and graph it markers (the greens) and my sentiment is a freebie that I have found on my friend Annette's blog over here.

And a little closeup
