These two cards I made using some vintage images which I printed from the Internet. No sketch, no challenge, just something I wanted to do :o) I like using such images now and then when I want to do something different than stamping and coloring. I printed the round label and the layers underneath the images as well and then I stamped the sentiment on the round label.

Kraftin´ Kimmie´s Birthday Celebrations #6
Þetta kort gerði ég fyrir síðustu áskorunina í afmælisvikunni hjá Kimmie. Í þetta sinn átti að nota stelpu- eða strákastimpil og blóm. Þetta varð hálfgert fljótheitakort, en það kemur nú samt bara ágætlega út held ég.
I am entering this rather quick card to challenge #6 in Kraftin´ Kimmie´s celebration challenges. This time the challenge was to use a boy or girl stamp and some flowers. I think this card turned out OK although I wasn´t able to spend too much time on it.
PP: Dovecraft
Boy stamp: Magnolia

Kraftin´ Kimmie´s Birthday Celebrations #4
Challenge #4 in Kraftin´ Kimmie´s celebration week. I love doing her challenges although I don´t think I´ll be able to do all 6 of them. The challenge this time is to use an animal stamp and some ribbon or ric rac. I think I made a card last year that looked a bit like this one, but that´s OK by me, I´m sure I like this one better anyway :o)
PP: Dovecraft
Stamp: Woodware
Flower: Prima

Skrapp í {kort}er #6

Gerði þetta kort eftir skissunni á Skrapp í {kort}er blogginu. Ákvað að breyta aðeins til frá stimplun og litun og prófaði að prenta út vintage mynd til að nota. Mér finnst þetta bara koma vel út og ætla að prófa fleiri myndir.
I made this card following this sketch on the Icelandic Skrapp í {kort}er blog. I decided to try something different from stamping and coloring this time so I printed this vintage photo on my printer. I like how this card turned out and I will definately try some more vintage images soon.
Red PP: BasicGrey Boxer
Sentiment stamp: Scrapmagasinet
Flowers: Prima & unknown

Sukkersött #25
Eitt strákakortið enn, í þetta sinn fylgdi ég skissu á Sukkersött blogginu. Að vísu speglaði ég skissuna til að hún passaði myndinni betur. Ég reyndi að nýta sólskinið og taka myndina þannig að glimmerið sæist bæði í vængjunum og miðjunni á blóminu, en því miður sést það ekki nógu vel í blóminu.
One more boy card, this time following Maya´s sketch on the Sukkersött blog. I mirrored the sketch to make it fit the image better. I tried to use the sunshine while taking the picture so that you could see that both the wings and the center of the flower are glittery but unfortunately it didn´t work out quite like I hoped it would.
PP: BasicGrey Two scoops
Stamp: Magnolia
Flowers: Prima

Skrapp í {kort}er #5, Katharina´s sketch #35

I am sending this simple card to an elderly gentleman in USA, he is the grandfather of Tina, the owner of High Hopes Stamps. Inside the card is a piece of Icelandic chocolate so I folded the card to fit around it. The ribbon is glued under the sentiment, and then tied around the whole thing. I used Katharina´s sketch #35, I love her sketches. I am entering this card in challenge #5 on the Icelandic challenge blog Skrapp í {kort}er where ribbon is the thing this time. If you want to know more about the reason I´m sending this card, you can read all about it here.
PP: BasicGrey Infuse
Sentiment stamp: Scrapmagasinet
Chipboard flowers: Making Memories
Small flower: Prima
