DT card for En Liten Butik

Hi Peeps,

It´s my cousin´s Birthday today 

and this is the card I made for him.

I used an image from KennyK called Party Time.

I decided to try to make a metal background. I started with getting a few patterns with help of some embossing folders and some dies. Also added some punchinella. You can find one of the embossing folders here at En Liten butik, where I am a DT.

You can also find a gear set die there.

I then added smaller bits of silver tape over my background. I used a cotton bud to get the tape to go down between all the textures.

When that´s done. Paint the background with black acrylic paint. Take a bit of paper and wipe it of. That makes the metal look a bit worn.

I have coloured the image with ProMarkers 

and then fussy cut it.

I would like to enter this card into following challenges:

I have used an image called Ella Faye so kindly given to me by Make it Crafty, thank you so much!

I made this light holder out of an old coffee cup.

I used a lot of different things to embellish this cup. Flowers from En Liten Butik, a little glas bottle (I put a bit of paper with writing on it inside of the bottle), shells, pearls, cinnamon and glas pebbles.

Hi again,

back with a new post.

This time it´s all about teddies!

has a new challenge starting today.

Our lovely Helen has picked

Teddies

So let´s see some cute, fun, stuffed friends.

We are lucky enough to have 2 sponsors again this month and they are

Prize 1 of 7 Digi's from

Prize 2 of £10 voucher from 

Hi my name is Bren, I have been crafting since a very early age, and enjoy many forms of it,  knitting, sewing, papercrafts and gardening. Housework takes a backseat. Craftybren's  was born because a friend saw my embroidery on a card and asked if I made my embroidery to order, as she would like to incorporate onto her sewing. Although Craftybren's is mainly Embroidered Embellishments I have added to my range, as customers have  asked if I do certain things.

Bren x

I have used an image from DigiDesigns. I love her cute little teddies.

It was a long time since I did this fold. But I love it - so I have a few more for you coming weeks - lol! It´s called a Center Step Card. There are lots of tutorials on YouTube. I am not sure which one I used, but thank you all for sharing!

I used some green papers from Prima. Love the soft green and yellow flowers. Some pink and purple flowers and darker green leaves from Wild Orchides. Purple pearls. Added some stitching with a black pen.

I wrote in Swedish. It says : Love you. I think I´ll give this to mum for Mothers Day.

Image is coloured with ProMarkers.
