Hello! Hope you are fine. Last week I got the most wonderful papers in my mail!! And since it is time for confirmations here in Norway, I have made a confirmand card and a box to put it in.

Yes the papers are from the beautiful collection called Vintage Romance. I will show you the sheets I have used on my project further down in my posting. But here you see a glimpse of all the sheets ♥♥♥

Vintage-Romance-P

The image is from Saturated Canary, and is called Nevaeh. I have coloured her with Distress Ink, reinkers and Markers.

I have made the flowers myself. I have used a flower die from the DooHickey Club Magazine vol 4. Sprayed them with water, then curled them up. Leting them dry, before I painted them briefly with White Gesso.

I used these three lovely shees for my flowers.

Here you see a closeup of three of them. I have used white pearl stamens from WOC to put in the middle of the flowers.

For the leaves I have used the sheet To be with you. The greenish colour on the paper is perfect for any leaves and grass.

To be with you

The tags are cut out with the Magnolia die called Tilda Tag. I have used Kraft paper and the paper “Walk with me“. The text is from Stempelglede (Just a note). The ribbon is Vintage Seam binding from WOC, sprayed with water, curled and let to dry.

The box measures 16 x 16 cm.

I have used the same flowers on both projects. The letters on the box are made with a Sizzix die on white corrugated paper. Also the paper ribbon is made with a sizzix die.

Here is a closer look on the box. I have also decorated the sides. All papers are inked with Distress Ink – Walnut Stain, and sewed with my sewing machine.

A closeup, and you might see lots of glitter on her dress; and Liquid pearls in her hair and on the dress. The texts are written on my computer and printed out on Canson water colour paper 200g.

Thank you so much for visiting! Wish you a lovely day ♥

Hello! I wish everyone a warm welcome to the Maja Design Blog! It’s Nancy here on this beautiful Tuesday. Today’s card is inspired by my sweet mom’s favorite hymn, ‘In the Garden’.  When I imagine her in heaven I always see her surrounded by beautiful flowers, and Maja Design’s Enjoying the Outdoors paper collection brought the garden in my mind’s eye to life.

2 E

Several design papers are layered, distressed, and stitched to form a base for the card. A center circle is cut to reveal this peaceful garden retreat.

2 F

The photos above and below give you a peek at the layering. The floral bouquet on the right is fussy cut from the paper collection.

2 D

The flowers are handmade from the design paper. There is a tutorial for the roses on the sidebar of my blog. The leaves are die cut with a Magnolia Rose Leaf die.

The edges of the card are randomly splattered with Mr. Huey’s color mist. The addition of a few green berries and a twine bow are the finishing touches.

Hello Sweeties,

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a layout that showcase a photo I’ve taken in Rennes (France). It’s a simple street in the old town, but I like the way the photo turns out.

Rennes Street by Pascale B

I kept the design of the layout quite simple. I started to add a thin layer of white gesso where I want to put the photo. When dry, I splattered watered gesso too and dried. Then I added a first color and dried. I continued to add different colors and dry before adding the next color until I was happy with the result.

I used the same colors to colored the flowers and the leaves.

After I’ve glued the flowers, papers and photo, I added some Art Stones. I used the same colors to colored them too.

To finished the layout, I added some glass glitters and microbeads.
