King Day

Today it is "Kingday"in The Netherlands and even

google knows about it. We celebrate the birthday of

our King Willem-Alexander.

It is a free day and all around the country there are

celebrations, flee markets and musical festivals.

With our national flag we have a special orange pennant,

that points to a celebration in the Royal Home.

The Roals are from The House of Orange, that is why

today everything is colored orange, even the flowers:

Our beautiful azalea is starting to bloom today!

So this gave me the idea to make some orange colored cards.

Here are the two cards I made.

I used a Stampin'Up! set called Just Because.

The background to my card is made with my

favorite technique: dirict to paper technique.

Add some colors to the craft sheet and add some

water. Now take the paper and get the color 

on your paper by putting the paper to the craft sheet.

Here the finished cards with the 

stamped image added to the orange background.

The image is colored with SU! blending pens

and splattered with a little orange ink.

The sentiment is from another SU! set called

Hello Cupcake.

Here you see the other card, with another

ribbon and image. These plants are so

versetile and easy to color. For some bling

I added little sticky gemstones to both cards.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
