Halloween Shadowbox DT Marion Smith Designs

Hello my sweets! It's yet another day and my turn at Marion Smiths Designteam blog. I made another shadowbox for today but this time I did a Halloween project! oh yes.. It's all about the spooks and scares today :)


I do love to make this shadowboxes even though they are small, they actually do take quite sometime to make! It's just soo many small embellishment in one piece.


I've used papers in the background from Marion Smith Designs "Wicked Times" Collection and the Skeleton - witch I think is just super cool - is also Marion Smith. I've also used junque and gems tear drop gems, bottles and flowers.

I've painted the shadowbox with black gesso, added colorlab pigment into white gesso and created the orange and purple paint. I added a coat of white gesso to the skeleton and the whole box is covered in crackle paint. Still not sure if I like it or not. Oh well.. painted is painted...

Thank you so much for joing me today! I'd love to hear what you think :) 

Moments - Challenge at Scrapberry's

Scrapberry's has their very first challenge up on their international blog! We have a very lovely moodboard going on for our August theme and I hope you will join us.

I've used papers from the Antique Shop collection and Holiday Romance Collection. Both from Scrapberry's.

This is my take on this moodboard: 

I've used real shells that I found by the seaside just a couple of minutes from my house. This is me and my dog when we where in Ålesund a couple of years ago. The flowers are Prima and LemonCraft. I've used alot of medium, like modeling paste with a 3rd Eye stencil and colorlab colors like Corvette and Tea Stain. :)

So that was my project for the very first challenge! I hope you'll come and join us! :) 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! Hope you have the most amazing creative day! :)

It's your Story - Layout DT Marion Smith

Hello everyone! It's my day over at the Marion Smith Designs blog and I've made my first video tutorial for MSD! Soo excited! Marion Smith has gorgeous paper and embellishment. Not to forget that Colorlab is SO fun to work with! :)

I've used papers for the "Posh" Collection. I've also used Junque and gems and Marion's beautiful flowers that match the collection! She also has some that's easy to color like you want them with colorlab. 

This is a picture of some of my family members. I do love them on that motorbike! So awesome. I did loooads of stamping, gesso's and colorlab on this. I work loads on my background this time. I've fuzzy cut all the paper from the Posh collection and added the die-cuts to my page. If you'd like to see how I made this layout, please take a look at my tutorial video down below. :)

The colors I used in this video is Tea Stain, the recipe is in the booklet you get when you buy colorlab. I also used a color I call dirty pink witch I made myself. I took basis of one of the pink recepies you get and added a bit of brown. :)

Look at that beautiful flower! The birds nest is a junque and gem from MSD, also the large Rhinestone. Gorgeous! :) The stamps used are mainly from Marion Smith Designs. Go check out all their products here.

Thank you so much for joining me today and I would looove a comment on my project!

Shadowbox - DT Marion Smith Designs

Hello and good saturday evening everyone! :) Today it's my turn on the Marion Smith Designs blog. We did a blog swap/hop with Petaloo and I recived the most gorgeous Petaloo flowers. We had a theme going on and that was graduation or fathers day. Or fathers day here in Norway isn't due until november.. But here are my fathers day themed Shadowbox.

I've really enjoyed making this I have to say. Steampunk pieces is fun! :) I've used products from Marion Smith Designs "Timekeeper" collection, and Petaloo flowers.

The shadowbox was an old card case. I painted the whole thing with  Finnabair's black gesso and Texture Paste Graphite. I added microbeads to the wet paint. The papers used are from the awesome steampunk collection from MSD called "Timekeeper". I've aslo encluded gears, screws and different metal pieces. The flowers are of course petaloo this time.

I also made a matching tag to go with this shadowbox. Come back tomorrow and you'll see that. If you can't wait you can see it on the MSD blog tonight! :) Thank you so much for stopping by. I would loove a comment. I'll comment back if you leave one.
