DOC: Pastel colors

Welcome back sweet friends and followers! 

Time for a new fortnightly challenge over at Deep Ocean and its an amazing one, fits me like a glove if I may say so myself ;) We want you to join us creating something, anything really ;), in pastel colors. 

This time I chose to work with yet another one of my latest Magnolias, she is released in the Christmas story collection and I think she looks awesome on a happy new year creation. We have been invited to celebrate with close friends this year and so I wanted to make them something special. The papers are not at all winter like, in fact they were released during the summer ;) All of them are part of a collection from Pink Paislee called Butterfly garden ;) The checked one is also a Pink paislee but from a collection  called Cupid. Tilda is colored with di´s on 300 g watercolor paper and I must say Im so happy about the big lush ribbon! I bought it from the Ribbon girls, isnt it lush? 

I followed the sketch with the amazingly talanted ladies over at CLP Challenges. Its their last sketch for this year! I can believe it! ;) Hurry on over, the ladies have done some stunning creations for us all to inspire from! This is what the sketch looks like: 

I had so much fun working it! Thanks ladies, see you next year :) 

I wish you all a merry christmas and a happy new year! 

Hurry over to the DOC Challenge blog to see the stunning creations by my fellow teamies :) 

To finish off my post I want to show you some more pics of the card, but more close ups ;) 

Thank you so much for looking! 

Hopefully I will see you soon in your blogs! 

Lots of love, Louise

GDT Whiff of joy: Nora wishes Happy new year!

Hi everyone! ♥

WOW! We had an amazing blog hop yesterday! I was full of admiration for my fellow dt and gdt members at Whiff of joy. They have created some truly stunning projects and cards :) If you missed out on all the action yesterday, it´s not to late. Go to Katharinas blog and follow the order til the end ;)

I´d like to thank all of you who visited me yesterday, I have never had so much comments and lovley words left for me before and let me tell you, I could easily get used to that. ;) Thank´s and I hope to see some of you return again.

I made todays card some days ago but I haven´t gotten around to upload it til today. I´m entering the current challenge at Sketchy colors which is about creating after a lovely sketch made by the fab norweigan cardmaker Lena Katrine. It looks like this:

I ended up turning it around a bit. The sketch was a lot of fun! Thank´s!

The lovely lady Nora with rose from Whiff of joy´s new year collection was my choice for this card. Isn´t she a stunner? And I think she´s sooo adaptable. I can see her on many diffrent projects for diffrent occasions ;) and that´s always a big advantage, love that in an image.

I have also used the new romantic swirls 2 dies which were also part of the new year collection released in december.

Well, I have lot´s of things to take care of today. Are you all set for christmas?? :o I´m soooo....not! I have some xmas pressies left to shop, but hey! That shouldn´t be a problem. My hubby tells me I´m like a big black hole ;) ;) No matter how much (or few) money I have left, I´m always up for getting ride of them as well ;) A good quality in a cardmaker....or not ;) *Ha,ha,ha* Luckily I know he says this with lot´s of love in his voice :) I´m like the happiest girl in the world, my hubby is so supporting! Love him! 

Have a great day!  

GDT Whiff of joy: Nora and Ben is wishing you all a happy new year

Look at this amazing couple namned Nora and Ben from Whiff Of Joy! They are here to wish all of you a happy new year. :) Personaly I think they are perfect for every festive occasion, very versatile :) I can see them on weddingcards, partyinvitations and so on. They are illustrated by the very talanted Alison Acton. Just love them, they are so easy to ink. I always apply lots of flowers on my cards and here I went for a whole flowerbouquet in upper corner. These flowers stays beautiful a bit longer ;)

The patterned papers are from Primas collection called "Fairy Flora". The frame is a Spellie frameability "Classic Frame", I bought is some month´s back and I totally adore it! Alphabet stickers from MME. Ribbon comed from Panduro.

I hope you´ve all had an amazing day, mine has been very busy. I´m already looking forward to tonight. ;) Tomorrow my pupils is showing their parents a play with christmas theme that I wrote. Some kids are having trouble remembering their lines...:o OMG! Wonder how this is going to work out? ;) ;)

Have a nice evening!
