Ingrid 80

Hej!

My neighbour wanted me to make a card for a lady that turned 80 this past weekend. I got the instructions: hat, white hair, walking frame, Gudrun Sjödén dress (Swedish designer).

Since I did not have stamps that would match - I had to draw the image myself. Wanted her to look young and vivid for her age - so I did not draw too many wrinkles ;-)

Coloured her with my copics.

Added flowers and dew drops in matching colours. And yes - forgot to take a picture of the inside of the card - but used matching papers for the inside as well - since it's hard to write the greetings on dark purple cardstock ;-)

They were very pleased and I am happy that I could capture Ingrid the way they wanted me to.

Love story

We all love our pets - don't we? And also - the love from them is just so unconditional - right?

I'm more a dog person myself - but we had a wonderful cat called Isis when I was younger. He was sooo cute and friendly - you could not resist him.

I know that many of you love cats. That in mind and a childstory (that I read for Isac some weeks ago) inspired me to illustrate Miss Kitty. So here she is. Let me know what you think of her.

I also decided to enter her and this card for the Cupcake Craft Challenge. I have not had the time to enter many challenges these days - so finally I had some time over (Isac and hubby baking Choc Chip Muffins in the kitchen - leaving me some spare time to colour some images and play. Guess who is a very happy lady ;-)) Waiting for that cup of coffee as well.

So here is the sketch to follow:

and here's my interpretation of the sketch:

Coloured Miss Kitty with my copics. Added some stickles on her shirt, bracelet and necklace.

Cut out the hearts with my SU punch. The square's are the heart corner shapabilities.

Ticket from stash as well as the dew drops. DPs from the Swedish company Inkido.

Ribbon - Choc Chip from SU. I also got to use my heart embossing die - that I purchased ages ago from our local shop Pysselakuten.

Sending you all some love and looking fwd to hear from you + be able to visit your blogs as well.

Kram - Anki

Easter celebration

Hej!

Hope you all are having a great Easter and holiday. I just wanted to post this - since I made a promise earlier - before I have my afternoon cup of coffee ;-))

So here's the finalized Easter bag with Twitty (that you saw in the previous post). It was for my cute little niece Julia and she got an Easter rabbit to hug (since she is not in the right age for candy;-)

I also wanted to show you the Eggs that I decorated for our yearly Easter egg challenge at my sister-in-law's Easter party. I decided to try my copics on the eggs, and I think it went rather fine - so please meet the Bärgman-Margitin family - the eatable version...hihi......

Also - here's a close up of the duel between my hubby Petar and his sister Anna.

The thing is - your egg should not break - so everyone is trying to prepare their eggs in different ways every year. Needed to add that this is an Orthodox traditional game (my mother-in-law is originally from Macedonia). The winner - the owner of the egg that last the longest ;-) - is assured good luck for the rest of the year. This year the winner was Kerstin - congratulations Kerstin!

Kram and I will be back later tonight,

Glad Påsk - Happy Easter

Just a quick post before I go into the Easter mood - that is - eating a lot of nice food and chocolate ;-) I am working with altering a bag for an Easter gift and I just thought I should share with you the image that I've illustrated for this purpose.

I call her Twitty ;-) and coloured her in girly colours with my copics

So - now I need to go back and work on that altered gift bag ;-)

(Sorry for the fact that the corners show - I could not alter it after I scanned the image - not much working for me today...but that's another looong story)

Wish you all a sunny, warm, fun and relaxing Easter.

Kram and looking fwd to hear from you
