God jul i stua!

Jeg humrer og ler... aldri har jeg laget julekort i august. Jeg vet jo det er smart å begynne tidlig. Jeg vet det veldig godt. Men jeg trenger litt snø og vinter for å få den rette steminga til dette... men ukens utfordring på Sukkersött er å lage julekort. I utradisjonelle farger attpåtil. Ikke noe rødt eller grønt eller blått. Jeg valgte turkis til kortet mitt :)

This week we have a challenge with a little twist at Sukkersött. We want you to make Christmas cards without using the colours red, green and blue! It's a challenge for me to make Christmas cards in August, but actually it was easier when I shouldn't use these colours. Turquoise was my choice, and here's the card :)

Two god friends; hÄnglar girl and Gorjuss cat. Both of them are painted with Distress Ink, at the girl I've used 'broken china', 'faded jeans', 'weathered wood' and 'pine needles'.

To make the old window, I first painted white Crackle Paint at some white cardstock. Then I stamped the window (Prima clear stamp) with brown StazOn before cutting the window panes. Finally I mounted it on the background (Heidi Grace DP).

Details - with a funny button from my old button box ;)

Because I couldn't find any place for the sentiment at the front of the card, I placed it at the inside. This beautiful stamp from Inkido says "Merry Christmas"...

I also used some of the elements from the front, with some doodling with silver glitter touch.
Take a look at Sukkersött to find inspiration for making Christmas cards in some unusual colours, and join the week's challenge! Have a lovley weekend!

Ta gjerne en inspirasjonstitt innom Sukkersött for å finne julekort i alle regnbuens farger. Jeg gleder meg i hvert fall til å se når jeg kommer hjem fra jobb! Riktig god helg, alle sammen :)
