Navy Pier

The Cocoa Daisy November kit goes on sale for everyone on November 1st!

The Cocoa Daisy crop this past weekend was a blast - as always! Thank you so much to everyone who joined us! The challenges are open until November 4, so there's still time to jump in and play along.

I really, really love the November kit, Navy Pier.



Here's the add on "The L".



"The Bean"






The Embellishment Pack



And the patterned paper add on "The Magnificent Mile"



There's also a special Christmas themed add on!



And I just love the stamps!



I have to admit that this guy kind of scared me at first, but after seeing him being used I changed my mind and LOVE him!

Painted stones...


I created a three-in-a-row game, out of painted stones. I painted the stones with gesso, doodled on them and then coloured them with Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam, the colours Organic Garden and Caspian Sea.

I made the board for the game out of cardstock that I painted with black acrylic paint. I then drew the lines using a white Sharpie Poster paint pen. When the pen was dry I covered it all with Glimmer Glam Chandelier.

You can see step-by-step photos on the Tattered Angels Inspiration blog.

Halloween för Pyssloteket...

Jag har pysslat ihop en layout med Halloween-tema, för Pyssloteket. Jag blir så full i skratt av de här bilderna på Tuva, från förra året. Det är inte klokt vad hon har växt! :)



Papper från Echo Park, de fina fjädrarna, metall- och plastdekorationer, Glimmer Glam Tide Pool (målat på den utklippta textremsan och den utklippta biten i mitten), Chalkboard Glimmer Mist Teal High Heal (som jag färgat fjädrarna med), spets och lim - allt finns hos Pyssloteket!

En närmare beskrivning av materialet finns i Inspirationsbloggen.


 
 
Jag har också gjort ett snabbt Halloween-kort med papper från samma serie.

Writing in gesso + Nov CD sneaks

Hi!
I can't believe how fast the days and weeks are going by!

I have created another layout, for the Cocoa Daisy blog, using the Cocoa Daisy October kit and a fun background technique with mist and gesso. I used Chalkboard Glimmer mist on top of the dried gesso and I also splattered some Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam over my layout - love the Glam! :)











Did you see the sneaks of the Cocoa Daisy November kit, Navy Pier? I really love the tags Christine are creating each month! Check them out here! I totally love the look of the stamps..!

Also, don't miss the fun Lotsa Layers challenge by MandyKay!!!

Smått och gott... och en kurs!

Jag var själv med barnen stora delar av helgen och vi hade det mysigt men intensivt! Det känns som om jag "glömt" hur man gör, sedan jag började jobba. :) Jag är ju mer borta än hemma nuförtiden och det är J som tar hand om... typ allt... :) Det var galet stressigt att få iväg oss allihop när Alva skulle spela tennis igår morse. Jag tog det lite väl lungt där på morgonen, innan jag till sist insåg att det var dags att sätta sprutt om vi skulle komma iväg alla fyra. Orutin, helt enkelt! På det stora hela var det en riktigt bra helg! Vi fick ju till och med se hösten från sin finaste sida, med blå himmel och sol och allt.

Jag har glömt att berätta att jag för ett tag sedan blev intervjuad av goaste Marja till tidningen Allt Om Scrap. Ni kan läsa den jättefina tidningen här och på sidorna 50-63 är det lite extra spännande! ;) Tusen tack Marja!

En annan jätterolig nyhet är att jag ska gästdesigna för Pyssloteket ett tag framöver. Imorgon dyker mitt första inlägg upp i Pysslotekets inspirationsblogg. Titta gärna in där! Butiken ligger på Valhallavägen och är alldeles fullproppad med godsaker! :)

Som om det inte vore nog med spännande saker så tycker jag att ni ska kolla in det här - jag ska nämligen hålla en liten kurs på just Pyssloteket, den 17 november. Några bilder och lite mer info kommer att komma snart, men så mycket kan jag säga som att vi kommer att göra ett minialbum utav tags, med några olika typer av färg (gesso, akrylfärg, Glimmer Glam mm) och grundläggande tekniker inom mixed media. :)

Saying thank you with mist...

I created this special "thank you gift" for Tattered Angels this month. I used a canvas circle from Canvas Corp and one of the many sticks that Alva has collected and brought home to her collection. :) Together with some jute string (also from Canvas Corp), Prima flowers, gesso and lots of yummy Glimmer Mist, Chalkboard Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Glam, I put this hanging decoration together.

I also added some stamping inbetween the layers of gesso and mist, using stamps from Cocoa Daisy.








The letter stickers were misted with Chalkboard mist and then painted with Glimmer Glaze. The flowers were misted, partially painted with Glam, painted with some gesso, misted again and finally I added some more Glimmer Glam. 
 
I'm really happy with how the stick turned out - I painted it with gesso and then with Glimmer Glam. :)

Tattered Angels and Art Journaling...

I created this art journal page for Tattered Angels. Check out the TA inspiration blog, for some step by step-photos and more detailed info. For the background I used Simply Sheer mist, Glimmer Mist, Gesso, Stencils, more mist and Glimmer Glaze.

The face was painted with acrylic paint and for the hair I used Neocolour II crayons and acrylic paint and then Glimmer Glam on top. I love the effect of the Glam on top of the black paint!


I actually added some blue "eye shadow" later on, but on that photo I didn't catch the sparkle in the hair so that's why I'm posting both of them... :)

And some more Cocoa Daisy Oct kit...

This one is about how Tuva is talking and talking and talking... Looong sentences, and we don't understand a word of it, but totally love to hear her talk. :)

The background was created with a stencil from Crafter's Workshop (available in the Cocoa Daisy boutique!) and acrylic paint (Jenni Bowlin dabber, also from the boutique), then I added misting, gesso using another stencil and the dark green is Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam.

I used the main kit, together with the Embellishment pack and the Switchback add on. I also used one of the tab stamps and I love it so much!
