Something blue...

This is a dual card, first off The Next Level week 7 sketch with required 3D-element

I left out the sentiment as I don't have suitable stamps and I'm sooo bad at creating any on the computer...

And for the second challenge, Creative Inspirations Challenge asking for "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue". Well, I did not make a wedding card, but here's a list of things:
something old: the blue card stock - the first ever I bought :)
something new: the lovely C.C. Designs Swiss Pixies Heidi DIGI Image
something borrowed: the blue ribbon is from a friend's stash
something blue: well, this one is quite obvious don't you think :D

Papers: Blue card stock, stash papers

Ink: Distress Ink Peeled Paint

The Next Level

The Next Level challenge of the week was a self standing card. I really loved the tutorials, and this was the first ever card I made that included a stand.

It is a birthday card for my Finnish friend living here in Trondheim (Onnea is a birthday wish in Finnish). I began with brown card stock and worked on it with Distress inks, Brilliance Dew Drop inks, multiple stamps and some Basic Gray pearls.
