Simon Says: Easter/Spring

 

Good Morning fellow crafters!

Hope your day is going fine and Spring is here.

In my place - The Netherlands - it is cloudy and rainy.

Only from the flowers that are popping up in my garden 

I can see that Spring is here.

So my idea for the 

Simon Says Monday Challenge

is to make a fun and colorful card.

Got Tim's Crazy Catz out and some Easter colors

to make this fun card.

Here you can see the colors I used.

The egg stamp is from the set Mini Blueprints 2 CMS146 and

the sentiment is from Craze Talk CMS236.

I colored the images with copic ciao markers.

Thank you for looking

and wishing you a creative

and caffinated day!

Easy cards with Cats and Dogs

I am trying to use up more of my stash

and here are some easy and fun cards.

This is what you do: pick some background paper.

Mine are out of a magazine called Take Ten and Flow.

Use up all the stamped images you have lying around,

and I found these cats and dogs stamped images by

Tim Holtz. I colored them with my stampin'blends.

Then I take out my word stickers by Tim Holtz

and look at all the cards I ended up with!

Sorry, needed a drink in between making

these cards and my coffee was finished.

Cheers! I hope I have given you some 

quick and easy ideas.

Thanks for looking,

stay safe and

stay creative!

30 Day Color Challenge

I am taking part in a 30 day color challenge

over at The Daily Marker Blog.

Everyone is challenges to color something on a 

daily basis with whatever material you have available.

As I am making cards nearly every day that is not

very difficult.

On day 1 I started coloring some coffee images for

a blog hop that will start at the end of the month,

so I will have some images ready. I used these cute 

Newton's Nook images and aquarel pencils.

For more details visit and follow

The Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog.

On day 2 I colored this Magnolia girl for a card

you will see tomorrow on this blog. I used again

aquarel pencils for the coloring.

Today - day 2 - I colored a few Crazy Catz from

Tim Holtz with Stampin'Up! markers.

This is  the finished tag, that I  want to enter

for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.

This week it is to make a tag.

In the background I used various stencils with a blending

tool and the new oxide distress ink. Love the soft look it

gives. The sentiment is a digital sentiment by 

Create with TLC. The paws are punced out and 

a piece of craft paper behind it. 

At the bottom of the tag I also added a few pieces

of washi tape. The cats are colored and cut out.

The top cat is glued to the tag and the bottom cat

is fastned with double sided tape for a more

dimentional effect.

Thank you for looking 

and have a creative day!
