Jag vann!

I won! I entered The Paper Shelters celebration blog hop and won. Twice!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jag vann! Jag var med i The Paper Shelters blog hop och vann. Dubbelt upp! Jag blev vald två gånger och fick välja två digitala stämplar från The Paper Shelter. Hurra! :-)

Förhoppningsvis kommer det snart kort med motiven jag valt.

Kraft Challenge

I'm entering a new challenge. Mo's Digital Pencil is having one at their challenge blog. The theme is "Kraft paper" and the same is needed somewhere on the card :-)
I printed the image on a, slightly glossy, paper bag and colored with my Polychromos. Right now I'm practicing coloring so the card is only decorated with som pretty washi tape.

Jag är med i en ny utmaning. Mo's Digital Pencil har en på sin utmaningsblogg. Temat är "Kraft paper", det vill säga brunt papper som många papperskassar är gjorda av (kommer inte på det svenska namnet nu...). Motivet är utskrivet på en liten "godispåse" i kraft-material och sedan färglagt med mina Polychromos. Påsen var glansig och färgläggningen blev lite svår men det var bra träning :-)
Motivet revs sedan ut och helt sonika limmades på en kortbas. Eftersom jag tränar färgläggning och sorterar mitt material så blev det bara lite dekorering med washitejp.

Stamp: Mo's Digital Pencil (digital)

Faery Ink DT-Call

Jag ska utmana mig själv ännu mer och försöka se till att jag MÅSTE pyssla :-) Därför ska jag, med detta inlägget, ansöka om en DT-plats (Design Team) hos

Faery Ink. Resten av inlägget blir på engelska.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I, hereby, apply for the Faery Ink Design Team.

My name is Lena and I'm a married mother of four. I live just outside of Gothenburg on the Swedish west coast. Besides being a mother and wife I'm on leave from my job as a kindergarden teacher and studying full-time to become a teacher for school year 4-6.  I've always loved to create with my hands. I love crafting in general and stamping/cardmaking in particular. But even though I prefer paper, glitter, stamps, coloring I also love making jewelry, sewing, painting and much more.

I've never been on a design team but I have to start somewhere, right?
Faery Ink caught my eye when I was searching for digital stamps on Etsy. I just loved the designs :-)
I'm kind of new to digital stamps and I usually stamp with the rubber kind, but I really like the digital ones since it's easy access (on my computer) and I can resize to fit my project.

I love to color. I'm still in practice when it comes to light source and shadows and I recently started using Faber-Castell Polychomos, which I love! I think I'm better with watercolors but I won't give up. It's a nice "problem" to have, having to practice coloring amazing images :-)

This blog is very new and I'm working on filling it with my art :-)
I have a facebook page for my blog: https://www.facebook.com/lenaspysselblogg.
I use my "everyday" instagram for my blog as well: http://instagram.com/lena.rocknroll.
And last, but not least, Pinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/osmilia.

Well, I hope that's enough text and I'll go on to my application card.
I fell in love with the Honey Latte Cute Coffee Girl. She's like me, a coffee freak ;-)
I used the "faded" design (first time ever) so the lines of the design doesn't show, as much, and colored with my beloved Polychromos. I feel that the decorations are a bit simple but, like the coffee girl, colorful :-) I hope you like it.
