DT Copic Marker Sweden: Wedding card in pink!

So I'm back today with a posting for Copic Marker Sweden and it's a card featuring the same image as the other day - by darling Aurora Wings. Sorry for the bad colors in these photos... The story behind this card is that it's custum made for a friend and she asked me in the afternoon so I made this card in a couple of hours that evening and she came to pick it up early in the morning as the wedding was that same day,... So sadly pictures taken at midnight are hard to fix so they reflect the right colors.... 

A close up on the image. 

The papers are from Maja Design - added some flowers, ribbon and a charm in the shape of a jewlery box with a ring in it. 

Thank you for visting me today - wish you all a magical day!

Ok, so I have some news to share... I've been invited to join the DT of a new challenge blog called Paradise of Stamps. Our first challenge is an easy one.... ANYTHING GOES!! So you see, there is really no reason not to come and join us! :-)

This is my inspirational card! 

A custom made wedding card using this gorgeous image by Aurora Wings. I used my Copic Markers for coloring.

The amazing papers are designed by Michele Roos and they are digi papers. A little church charm is hidden behind the organza bow. Pearls, lace, metal corners....More is more... :-)

Wishing you all a magical day! 

GDT The Sketchy Challenges: Vintage Autumn and a sketch!

I'm so honored today to have been invited to join the lovely ladies over at the Sketchy Challenges as a guest DT today. They are such a fab bunch of ladies and I do so enjoy their challenges. They have been a sketch challenge but for the past few challenges they have added a theme to their sketch and this time the theme to go with the sketch is "Vintage Autumn". 

So for my card I used the fab Halloween papers designed by Michele Roos for Whimsy Stamps. Love them!! 

I used this cute image called Fairy Jessen by Mo Manning for my card and colored it with my Copics. Acctually love how it turned out.

Added some lace, some flowers and some punched out twigs... 

The sentiment is from Vilda Stamps and it says "this is your day". 

Thank you for stopping by - would loooove to see you join the challenge!

Have a magical day!

DT Copic Marker Sweden: Color Challenge!

Today it's time for a new challenge at Copic Marker Sweden and this time we have a color challenge in store for you! My teamie Lisa has made up a chart with some colors we'd like to see in your creation. 

This is my creation: 

I've used an image by Sylvia Zet/Wee Stamps for Whimsy Stamps. 

I just love these papers by Maja Design and I really couldn't cover them up so the layout got quiet uncluttered and not merely as decorated as my normal cards... :-)

Would love to see you join in the challenge! 

Have a magical day!
