Tea Together?

After i finished my card yesterday, I was in the mood for

making another card with the same colors.

They were on my desk anyway!

Here the colorchallange again from the

Color Throwdown Blog.

I used these colors of oxide distress ink.

For the background i also used a stencil like on my card yesterday, 

just not the hert stencil, but one with roses (forgot to make another picture).

For this card I used these fun tea cups by Verve Stamps.

I colored the cups  first with the distress oxide ink and

with the matching distress markers.

The sentiment is also by Verve Stamps.

The green ribbon is by DL.ART.

On top of the cups you see the enameled dots

in the matching colors of the cup at the heart of the flower.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

A whole latte love

With Valentine around the corner, here another

card full of love for a color challenge.

Here are the colors of this weeks challenge on the

Color Throwdown Blog.

I used these colors of Distress Oxide ink

with Tim Holtz heart stencil. I colored the

background at random.

The pink paper is the pase of the card and on top of the

hearts i cut this lovely cup out of two colors

and added them to the yellow background.

In the back you see a lovely light pink hand dyed

ribbon fron Diana Larsons collection.

I used green, pink, yellow and blue enameled dots

on the side of the card.

The sentiment is a stamp from Verve Stamps.

Thank you for looking

Club Scrap October sketch

Each month there is a sketch challenge on the 

Club Scrap Forum.

Not only did I use the sketch for this card,

I also used the color challenge of the

Sunday Stamps Blog.

For my card I used Club Scrap Scandinavia stamps

and Lagoon papers and sticker jewels.

The background is made with the direct to paper

technique and red and blue ink.

I stamped the sentiment on the ribbon with black ink.

I also made a digital card with the sketch. For this card 

I used the digital images from the Scandinavia kit.

For this card I used the photoshop program.

Sunday color challenge: Fly

Today I have worked on a color challenge using

Michael Strong's large and mini butterfly rubber stamp

and a sentiment by Penny Black from the set Happy Thoughts.

You find other samples and the details on the

Color Trowdown Blog.

Starting the background panel with the large butterfly.

I embossed it with clear embossing powder after stamping

the butterfly random at the paper.

Next taking worn lipstick and fossilized amber oxide

distress inks to color the paper. The clear embossing

works as a resist and makes the butterflies pop up.

The sentiment is embossed with silver embossing 

powder and cut out with an oval die and for the

silver paper I used the matching scallop die.

The mini butterflies have also been embossen

with silver embossing powder, but on yellow

and pink paper. The have yellow and pink gemstones

on top, but yellow on the pink and pink on

the yellow butterfly.

For the inside of the card i used all the left overs.

(I stamped a few extra butterflies in case I

did not cut them out nicely ;-).

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Saturday sketch card: turtle birthday

For my card today I combined a sketch and a color challenge again.

This seems to be a great combination.

The color challenge is from the 

Cupcake Inspiration Blog

where I was chosen one of the six last week.

Thank you!

and the sketch challenge is from the

CAS(E) this sketch! blog.

I used these two colors of oxide inks

and a watercolor brush for coloring the turtle.

Stamps used:

Michael Strong coffee steam

Michael Strong cloisonné sea turtle

Club Scrap Lagoon bubbles stamps

First the steam and the bubbles in grean

and the turle on another piece of paper.

Coloring the turtle with the inks and cutting out.

I stamped the turtle twice to cut out the schield

of the turtle to add this with foam tape and 

decorating this with sticky gemstones.

The sentiment is from Stampin'funn.

Couldn't resisit decorating the inside too.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Saturday card: Happy New Year

For the end of the year I choose to do a color challenge.

It is the one from the

Cupcake Inspiration Blog.

For this card i started with the background of the card. I stamped

the square stamp of Michael Strong in versamark and embossed it

with gold embossing powder. Next I took a piece of gold cardstock

and with some number dies from Stampin'Up! I cut out the 

number of the coming year. The cardstock is added to the background

with tiny red brads.

The snetiment and the stars is from another Stampin'Up! set called

It's a Celebration. Finishing of the cards with 2 gemstones.

Now I want to wish you all, wherever you are

a wonderful, happy, healthy, energetic

and creative New Year!

Thank you for always leaving your wonderful compliments

and coming to look at my projects!

Art Neko: Panda Thank You

Today not only do I make card 10 for the

color challenge, I am also featured on the 

Art Neko Blog.

You find all the details of the color challenge

on The Daily Marker Blog.

I colored my card with distress ink and a blending tool.

The bottom with green and the top with blue.

Next I took this bamboo stencil and colored it

with the same green ink.

Now I had this scene ready for my panda stamp.

The Walking Panda stamp by Art Neko was perfect 

for this bamboo bush. 

After stamping it looks like this.

But panda's are white you will say. True!

So I stamped the panda twice again and

cut out one complete panda and from the 2nd image

I only cut of the head. With foam tape, I added the

panda to the card.

The finished card has a Thank You sentiment also

from Art neko and I used the stencil and the green ink

again to make the same background. The gemstones

are also Art Neko.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
