Cupcake Inspiration Blog: Color Challenge

Here is my card for this weeks 

Cupcake Inspiration Blog.

It is a color challenge: Pink, Yellow and Blue.

A lovely combination.

It has been some time I used Michael Strong's

hand stamp, but these days with a lot of washing

your hands I had to get that stamp out.

So I started with thre colors of oxide inkpad: fossilezed 

amber, tattered rose and broken china. 

Next I got the egg stamp out (also Michael Strong).

With walnut stain I stamped the eggs on the background

and on an extra piece of paper.

The extra eggs are embossed with clear embossing powder

and colored with fossilized amber and broken china ink.

The hand is embossed with pink embossing powder

and colored with tattered rose ink and then cut out.

The sentiment is made with the computer.

After everything is arranged on the card I added 

a few sticky pearls.

And here are my other hand cards:

This one I made for the Simon Says Stamp

Spring challenge on instagram.

Spring is tulips, but this Spring we are 

more busy wth washing our hads,

Do enjoy the flowers too!

This cards represents especially the washing of the

hands with all the blue ink in the background.

Stay Safe,

Stay Healthy

and wash your hands!

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Easter Card

Happy Saturday!

My card today is for the 

Weekly Challenge on the

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog

where the theme is:

Anything goes

and for

The Cupcake Inspiration Blog,

where the challenge is  these colors:

mint, Pale Blue and Pink.

First  made the background with a technique

called Bingo Blast. I thought it was a fun background

for coloring Easter eggs. I used these distress stains

directly to the paper and this way you get these fun

splashes. It helps when you use a watercolor paper.

Then I colored the image with my Stampin'Blends.

The Image is from Bugaboo Digital Stamps and is 

called: WOE Easter Egg (now for only $ 1.00).

Here you see the finished image, cut out with an 

oval die and its matching scallop die by Sizzix.

The sentiment is from the

 Crazy Talk sentiments by Tim Holtz.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Bugaboo Color Challenge

Today it is a color chalenge on the

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.

For this card I used Stella Love - Person to Annoy.

The sentiment is hilarious and comes with the image.

The paper in the background are all Stampin'Up! and

so are the hearts, latge and small.

These are punched out with SU! paper punches.

The ribbon is from my stash.

I can see me and my husband growing old like this.

Great image and I see lots of love. 

The image is colored with Stampin'blends.

the progressive challenge from Limited Runs digital stamps.

It is such a sweet image, I had two cards ready in a jiffy.

After printing the image, I colored one time with 

pencil and one time with stampin'blends.

and cut with a cirle die and a matching scallop die.

The sentiment is from my stash and the background

 is design paper from a 6 x 6 inch block.

In the heart of the flower is a sticky gemstone.

Card #2 is colored with pencil

and some design paper in the background.

In the heart of the flower is a sticky pearl.

The sentiment is from this Tim Holtz

booklet with small talk stickers.

The grandchildren also had lots of fun with this new

image. They kloved to color it.

The Daily Marker day 24: sketch

I used the sketch from the

CAS(E) this sketch blog.

I made a girl and a boy version

using the same Tim holtz mini blueprint 8 CMS231 stamps again.

Also some design paper drom a blog from my stash 

and the sentiments are stickers from small talk by Tim holtz.

This is the boy version.

The Daily Marker day 23: Cookies Challenge 111

Another baby card, this time for a boy.

Photo inspiration from the 

If you give a crafter a Cookie Blog

made me come up with this card for today.

For the background I used the same technique

as for the girl card with a sweet embossingfolder,

distress crayons.

Here I used brushed pewter distress mica spray.

When the background dries, I color the images

with fossilized amber, broken china and mowed lawn

distress oxide ink and a water brush.

The images are from the mini blueprints 8 CMS231.

After cutting out the images, I used a fossilized amber

colored paper behind the image to gave them a cookie look.

Around the card I tied a piece of blue crinckled ribbon.

The letters on the boy tag are from Tim Holtz 

industrious stickers and the stamped sentiment is from 

the set Made with Love by Stampin'Up! as well

as the little stars. A tiny sticky gemstone for a little

bling in the card.

Here the finished card.

Of course I made a matching envelop and decorated

the inside of the card with the left over strip.

Of course I enter my card also for 

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge

day 23.  

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

The Daily Marker day 20 and CAS color challenge

Today no sketch but a color challenge for my card.

You find this color challenge on the

CAS Colour & Sketches Blog.

I used the following stamps for my card:

Tim Holtz Bird Crazy CMS212

Tim Holtz Mini Bouquet CMS269

Tim Holtz Halftone & Rings CMS260

Good thoughts CMS085

I want to share with you how I made this card:

1. get the colors out and my idea was to use the bird stamp.

2. I stamped the bird and the flower on the card

and on a  post-it note for cutting out. After the images are cut out,

I coverd the original stamped images on the card.

3. When the images are covered I used the pear pizzazz

and the halftone stamp for the background of the panel.

4. On top of the background the sentiment is stamped.

5. The flower is colored with the Daffodil Delight

stampin'blend markers.

6. The bird is colored with the ink from the inkpads

and a watercolor brush.

Of course my card is for day 20 of 

The Daily Marker Coloring Callenge.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative and colorful day!
