Charlotte's cards

Hello and welcome!  This card was a struggle, I struggled so much trying to decide what to put as an background to my car! I don't have stamps, or dies, of houses, trees, hills and clouds cause I'm not a scenemaking cardmaker, but if I'm gonna continue entering SSS challenges I might have to get some 😁  The theme for Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge this week is "Transport It". And the only stamp I've got that fits into transporting something is this car with a bicycle on the roof... I got to start buying other stamps than flowers 😂 Anyway, here it is!  Supplies: Background: Distress Oxide on black card stock with some splashes. The car stamp is from Panduro, a Nordic/Norwegain craft store. Altenew Leaf Frame Cover Die. Sentiment from Tailored Expressions Simple Strips Background. I'm not a super fan over how this turned out. I lacked idea and inspiration during this one. Now on the other hand, now I got many idea ...

Hello, and welcome to my blog.  I finally got my hands on Simon Says Stamp Floral Mix background stamp! It was in the mail when I got back from visiting family and it's amazing. I made two cards with it and below you'll see how it went 😃 Card #1 - coloring with watercolor pencils Frist I stamped the image on regular Neenah White cardstock. I know it would be better to do it on watercolor paper, but it's what I chose and I have used watercolor on regular cardstock before and it works fine 😊 But of course, nothing beats watercolors on watercolor paper.  Then I just used an oval die to cut out a piece. This is the pencils I used, nothing expensive, bought them from an online store here in Norway called Adlibris.  I felt I needed a background and I decided to use this stencil from Simon Says stamp with Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry on light pink cardstock.  Time to put the card together. I needed one more thing so I used an ov...

A new day, a new card and a new post 😃  I'm going on a little holiday tomorrow so I will be gone from my inks and stamps and papers for 6 days! I'll miss them like crazy 😂 I've had this idea for a card project in my head for some days now and I'm not one to write down ideas when they arrive so today I just had to do it before I forgot it.  This is my Gina/Rina-combo card!  Rina Krupsky, the daughter of Gina K, posted a video on YouTube a couple of weeks ago where she made aged wood background using a mini ink cube. I thought that looked easy, but didn't try it out until today. It is easy, but getting it straight was another thing...😂  First I cut a 1 inch strip from some cardstock and lined it up with my white panel. Then I just dragged the ink pad onto the cardstock as I moved the strip.  This is the result when the dragging was done. So far so good!  Then I had to draw on the seams in the floor boards and the nails. Th...

Welcome to my blog! This card is bursting with shimmer! The pictures doesn't do it justice.  I used Nuvo Shimmer Powders, have no idea what colors I used, I just went nuts!  The shimmer powders is so much fun, but a bit messy, but the results is so amazing.  I used watercolor paper from Tim Holtz and the amount of water that cardstock could take is crazy. The diecut is Streaming Heart die from Simon Says Stamp.  The scallop die is from a die set I got ages ago from Amazon.  I didn't take pictures during this cause I did the background a couple of days ago and didn't think about it.  Thanks for stopping by, come visit me at my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/charlottewold79/

Hello! This will be my very first real blog post and I have no idea how it will go.  Today it's Norway's Constitution Day and I spent it doing what I love the most, making cards!  So here is the result of that 😊 This is what I started with. I stamped the flowers with Distress Oxide Tattered Rose and the leaves with Cracked Pistachio. I used Altenew's Wallpaper Art stamp set.  I'm no expert in coloring, definetly not with watercoloring, but I have to say, I have improved! At least I think so myself.  This is all the colors i used and yes, I used them all! 😂 And as you can see, a regular Distress Ink was used since I don't have Forest Moss in Oxide.  This is the products I used, as I said Altenew's Wallpaper Art stamp set, Pretty Pink Posh Thoughtful Greetings stamp set and sequins from Little Things from Lucy's cards (sorry for the glare in the plastic). By the way, totally forgot to place Tonic Studio Nuvo Glitter Drops in Gold...

I'm just figuring out how this works.
