Daydream Cards for 2Crafty Chipboard + Playing at Lindy's Stamp Gang Color Challenge & More Than Words Mini Challenge!!!

Hi there lovely friends,

Welcome to my blog today for this post I made two cards with some of the most beautiful 2Crafty Chipboard pieces. I made them in two different shades one in teal/aqua and the other one in darkpink/licht pink. For these cards I have used two collections of Maja Design papers.

My/Your Daydream:

2Crafty Chipboards used:

Foliage Set 3

Doily Disc Set 1

Fine Word Set 3

Circle Word Tag Set 1

Decorative Rod Set 1

All the chipboard pieces a treated with a layer of white gesso. The Decorative Rod Set 1 I embossed with two layers of embossing powder by Lindy's Stamp Gang. The doily and the words are embossed with purely white embossing powder.

The Foliage Set 3 I treated with flat fabio's {danny zuko's denim} twice and then I used three different waxes on them and cut them in two parts to place them in my flower cluster after they where all dried up. In the end I used some nuvo crystal drops on the circles. The Cards are made out of three layers that I distressed around the edges.

With these cards I will be entering two challenges one at Lindy's Stamp Gang here is the beautiful color challenge at the Lindy's blog

I idolise your silliness clear tag!!! Playing at More Than Words June's mini challenge!!!

Hello my sweet friends,

Today I'd like to share a tag with you all! I made this tag for this months mini challenge at the More Than Words blog. This was a challenging one for me because you had to use the word "Idol"! But in the end it worked for me because I changed it a little I made it more my own if you know what I mean.

I idolise your silliness:

On this picture Abbey {our little girl} is wearing my shoes and making goofy faces and just being her silly self. I was planning to make a clear tag for a long time and I am so glad I finally did. For this tag I used the pretty "Georgia Blues" collection by Prima Marketing with matching flowers.

On the clear tag I added a stamp my Creative Embellishments with embossing ink and some light gold embossing powder by Lindy's Stamp Gang. On the left side where the paper is I stitched with my sewing machine on the other side I used my white stitch rub-ons by 49 and Market.

Behind Abbey I added some wings from a pack by Tim Holtz this was a really fun tag to make and I think my next one is going to be a clear tag as well but who knows....

Thank you so much for your visit today & sure hope you like my tag!

I want to wish you a happy & creative day!

"Unusual" In Your Eyes Playing at More Than Words May 2021 Mini Challenge!!

Goodmorning my lovely friends,

Today I'd like to show you a tag made for this months mini challenge over at the More Than Words blog! This time you need to use the word "Eyes" which I thought was very applicable since my occupation is working as a optician. I treasure my Graphic 45 "Olde Curiosity Shoppe"papers & I just LOVE this collection so so much. That I just don't want to cut in them so this tag was all made out of scraps

In Your Eyes:

I really love the song "In Your Eyes" by The Weekend. So this tag was made based on that song. And I was listening to it while creating this tag.

I was inspired by this months mini challenge at the More Than Words blog; More Than Words Blog May 2021 Mini Challenge Eyes.....I just loved this mini challenge.

Thank you so much for your visit today and I wish you a happy & sunny day hugs

Ideal Cheeks to Kiss Tag Playing at Finnabair's April Art Recipe & * More Than Words Mini Challenge* & Mixed Media Place & Lindy's Stamp Gang!!!

Goodmorning my sweet friends,

Today I am sharing another tag with you all, one that I made to enter three challenges. I just love making tags at the moment but my heart is still with layouts so don't be afraid I will still be making them ;-)....I really love to add pictures to my tags as you see in the picture below. This time another picture of our pretty daughter Abbey.

Ideal Cheeks to Kiss:

For this tag I used two mould sets by Finnabair "The Stars and Moon Moulds" & " Grungy Frames Moulds" all the mediums I used are also from Finnabair. The pink & purple flowers and the wishing bubbles are by 49 and Market. The pastel blue flowers are by a unknown brand {at least for me}. All the chipboard pieces you see on my tag are by the amazing Renea from Renea Bouquets.

The first thing I did was making my tag black with heavy gesso and then I added the manuscript stencil with the rose gold Icing Paste at the end I added blue opal magic mica powder with some water on top of my whole tag. So now my base is ready and I can begin to embellisch my tag.

The words Ideal & Kiss are rubbons that I put on a light purple pieces of paper. The moulds are treated with ArtAlchemy Acrylic paint in the colors opal magic "violet-gold" & "blue-pink, ArtAlchemy Metallique paint in the colors "vintage rose" & "french lavender! On the grungy frame I also added some texture effect paste in the color powder blue and to finish them off I added two waxes Bronze Age & Turquoise Satin

I really love this months Art Recipe at Finnabair's blog, as most of you know I love every shade of purple and since we have Abbey pink is on top of my list too as is blue so this was perfect for me to create something pretty.

The colours: pastel pink, pastel blue, lilac!

You could choose two of the four products listed and those where:

Icing paste, Jewel Effect Paste, Impasto Paint or ArtAlchemy Metallique Paint!

For my tag I used: Icing Paste & ArtAlchemy Metallique Paint {Four different ones}

Finnabair products used:

Prima Finnabair Mould Octurnal Elements

I really love to enter the Mini Challenges at the More Than Words Blog because a tag, card or ATC's are really easy & quick to make and you have so much fun while doing it. This month the word you had to use was "Ideal" that very challenging for me because I never use it....but I am really glad I challenged myself to still enter.

I was so excited to see that Mixed Media Place had a very similar mood board as at the Finnabair blog. So I thought well why not enter here too it's my first time to enter there...I always see their pretty moodboards but I never found the time to make something for it and then the challenge is over before I know it ;-) Looks how pretty.....

I really loved the color challenge at the Lindy's Stamp Gang blog very much that I entered twice too ;-) Look at their amzing color challenge.

Seize the Imperfection Tags Playing at Mixed Media Place & More Than Words Mini Challenge!

Hello lovely bloggers,

It's so nice to see you here today, this time I would like to share some mixed media tags that I especially created for two challenge sites. I am so much in love with the moulds by Finnabair & Prima Marketing that I just bought two of them with my birthday money. For these tags I used both moulds "Grungy Frames"and "Numerals"....I created the tags with Maja Design papers of two collections "Traditional Christmas" & "Denim and Friends"! The flowers are off course by 49 and Market. I call them my "Seize the Imperfection" tags and that's because I am not a perfect mould maker, since it's my first time using it...

Seize the Imperfection:

Lately I am creating a lot of tags that I am out of my {Graphic 45 packaging stash} Ohhhh what to do now need to buy more scrap stuff lol hahahaha. Do you see those dragonflies?? They are by the amazing Renea from Renea Bouquets she is such a talented designer I am in love with her products.

With these tags I am entering two challenges the first one is at Mixed Media Place they have a gorgeous moodboard where you had to use Turquoise and Red and so I did.

The second challenge I am going to enter is the Mini Challenge over at the More Than Words blog where the word is * SEIZE *

I hope you I have enjoyed you with my post and I would like to wish you a wonderful day, night and a whole lot more....hug!

Adore my Little Sister Tag Playing at the Finnabair blog!!!

Goodmorning lovelies,

Today I have a little something else to share with you all. I've made a tag this time but with a picture so it's a little art project instead of the layouts I normally make. I had a lot of fun creating this tag....I was insprired by the lovely colors of "Art Recipe" at Finnabair's blog. I am always inspired by her moodboards but I never found time to make something and now I did.

Adore my Little Sister:

With this tag I am also going to enter the mini challenge at the More Than Words blog the word that you had to use is "Adore"! First I took a packaging of G45 to have as my base of the tag I gessod it white then I added some Texture Paste white Sand & my favorite stencil by finnabair then I added some teal mica powder with some water.

The chipboard pieces you see are by Kor Projects and I won them in december over at the More Than Words blog. First I treated the chipboard with some of the Vintage Rose metallique paint and later on I added some of the purple violet paste {it's from the nothern lights set}

lol somehow I posted this video upside down hihihihihi of my winnings.....

I also added some black lindy's spray because I thought it looked prettier that way. The edges of my tag I treated with the amazing wax by finnabair {I so love them & they smell so good} it's a treat to work with them.

As I said before I will be entering in two challenges the one at the Finnabair blog & the one at the More than words blog. Here is the moodboard from Finnabair:
