Another one of my dreamhouses...

I wanted to make a card that looks like it does now... It's the last day of August, and we don't have any autumn colours yet. You can still hang your laundry outdoors, but beware, it may start to rain! Even the rosebushes seems to bloom a second time...

Oh, and I used a fun technique that I invented! First I stamped the house on the white paper with Memento Tuxedo Black, the second time I stamped the same stamp a little bit lower but in London Fog. Then I got more depth in the image! I coloured the house with my Copics and that's about it! Just click on the picture to magnify it - you'll see the effect on the boards! I think it turned out pretty cool!

Jag ville göra ett kort, men ha med färgerna som är utomhus just nu. Inte direkt som förra kortet, alltså! 
Jag hittade på en ny teknik för att få lite mer liv och djup i brädorna:
Först stämplade jag mitt vita papper med Memento Tuxedo Black och lite, lite lägre stämplade jag exakt samma hus igen, men nu med London Fog. Klicka upp huset i full förstoring så ser du effekten på brädorna! Jag tyckte att det blev ganska coolt! (När grunden var klar målade jag huset med mina Copics.)

Fall/Autumn/Höst

School has started and the weather is getting colder. I find myself in the beginning of my favourite season. No falling leaves yet, (I hope that waits until the end of October,) but I still thought I could start enjoying the wonderful colours yet to come...

Skolan har börjat, det är inte lika varmt ute längre och jag har på något sätt hamnat i min favorit av årstiderna. Vi har inga fallande löv här än (jag hoppas att det inte händer förrens i slutet av oktober), men jag tänkte att jag skulle kunna börja njuta av höstens färger redan nu...

"And our Big Cheese for this week, a showstopper from Elisabeth Larsson!

A classic! Pairing Vintage Ornaments with the backdrop of Festive Foliage, Elisabeth has created a gorgeous holiday card. I love the addition of the glitter on the branches and the perfectly-placed rhinestones. And that pop of purple again for Christmas! Maybe we can convince Lynn to make that one of the Christmas Card Challenges! Thank you for sharing your fantastic creation, Elisabeth"

WOW WOW WOW!
