A card - and a sad farewell

Hello there, Sweet Pea Lovers!

After some time on and off, I've decided to step down from my position on the Sweet Pea design team. It was really hard and so sad to make this decision, but there has been so many things going on in my life lately, and I haven't got time for blogging. I'll still be making some cards now and then, but blogging takes too much energy - and I don't have too much of it at the moment. 

I really love the Sweet Pea Stamps, and I hope that I'll get some more space in my life to create more for the design team in the future. The ladies on the team are just amazing, and I feel like they are friends to me - even though I haven't met any of them personally. 

I'll post a card for you that I've made with the super cute image named Dozen Roses from the amazing artist Conie Fong. You won't belive it: I haven't colored it up with Distress Inks!!! I took a class in coloring with pencils and turpentine. So much fun, but this is only my third image colored with the technique, so I've got sooo much learning to do! 

It is a card made for a dad from his two small kids, ordered especially for his 29th birthday. Since it is for a man, I've tried to use just a little embellishments, and still I wanted to make it a sweet card, since it's from his kids.

Here are some pictures: 

The finished card

Gorgeous image - colored up with pencils and terpentine (!!)

And added lots of glitters

I just want to thank all of you so much for supporting me and leaving so many kind and inspiring comments on my creations. I really hope to meet you all again here in Bloglandia. 

Lots of love,

CAS Happy Birthday

Hello Sweet Pea Lovers!

I hope you're enjoying the Summer season!

Right now it's raining here in Northern Norway, but the kids are happy: They've just started their 8 weeks long Summer vacation. 

There's lots of things going on in my life at the moment, and I'm actually not into scrapping right now. But I just bought some Alcohol Inks by Tim Holtz, and I just had to try them out! I was so inspired by a card in a Norwegian scrap magazine named Ett Trykk, and I've lifted it, using the Happy Birthday stamp from Sweet Pea Stamps. You can find the stamp on Plate #2. I've made a CAS card - totally unlike me, but in fact, I loved making this card! And it was so much fun playing with Alcohol Inks, I'll definitly use them on more cards!!

Enjoy the Summer days!

Lots of love from Randi WS

Karen Middleton's Summer by Randi

Hello to all of you!
I hope you're all doing fine, and that life is being good to you.
Today I am sharing a new card with you, made with the beautiful stamp named Summer by the amazing artist Karen Middleton. I just love her beautiful girlie images, they are so perfect for Confirmation cards, which I am making lots of these days. Springtime means Confirmation time here in Norway ;)
I've stamped up the image on Canson Aquarelle paper with Archival Ink Coffee (as always with me...) and colored her up with Distress reinkers (also as always with me... LOL)
This time I've been doing a small twist on my card: I've folded a Joy-Fold card. It has been a while since I tried a new folding technique, I love folding!! I love the Joy-folding - so easy and yet so effective!

Here are some pics:

The finished card. 

I'm sorry about my fingers in the pic, but I had to hold the card so you could see how it is when it is folded ;)

One fold opened...

Both folds opended. I've made a writing panel and a money ribbon inside

Beautiful Summer

Wishing you all a happy week!

Lots of love,
