Birthday card and envelope

My friend had her birthday in the beginning of March and I wanted to make her a card.

I love using Distress Inks with blending tool, and adding droplets of water.

First I stamped the image with Archival Ink, and coloured it with my distress ink and water.
I then added some rubber cement on the images and used various distress inks with the blending tool.
I´m quite happy with the outcome of this card :)

A while a go I saw this cool tutorial on Kristina Werner´s (link will take you to her blog) blog about using rubber cement to write down the name, and then use distress ink and blending tool on top. This gives you a really cool effect.

Secret friend

I mentioned in my last post what 2015 will bring for us, including a new baby girl due in April.
This is the reason behind my card. I´m part of a forum for expecting mothers, and we had this secret friend exchange. I made a card to go with the present I bought.

The words in Norwegian "Lykke til med siste innspurt" translates to English "Good luck with the final leg/final stage of your pregnacy".

My card is inspired by such a great talented woman, Kristina Werner (by clicking her name, it will take you to her blogpost). I have been following her blog for a while and she does so many cards which I love and gets inspired by.

Thanks for dropping by
