No time for me to make many cards now, the summer house is full of people coming and going and the weather is good, but it's Monday, again, so time for my DT card for SWF. Next week you will have a new challenge from TMITA/PCC again.




For this card I used a Magnolia fairy and two small ones. Painted with Copics, the papers (Tildas) and details I found in a Panduro shop in Gothenburg! This week at SWF the sponsor is Elfes Bastekistel and you can win a voucher in their shop..

DT Monday - Stamp with Fun!

Hey all, hope you had a great weekend! Today is my DT Monday but this Monday (and next) looks a bit different. Nina at There is Magic in The Air is looking for more DTs and is not hosting a challenge this and next week. However please pop over to her blog if you are interested in joining our design team, we are having a lot of fun! Click here!




Today we have a wonderful sketch from Andrea for you (as you can see I did not pay 100% attention to it, I blame my brains for being on holiday). I wanted to use one of our sponsor's digi stamps, but I can't use my printer!! Anyway this is stamp from Hanglar and for the very first time I colored with Distress inks. I am really happy about the result, I only used a few colors.



This week's sponsor is Digital Delights and you can win a gift voucher! So what are you waiting for.....
