The daily Marker day 22 and Simon Says: things with wheels

Around me friends are pregnant, so I need to make some

baby cards, so in the coming days, you will see some

more of these cards.

For today I am inspired by the challene on the

Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog:

things with weels.

For the challenge things with wheels

I knew I had the pram stamp from Tim Holtz

mini blueprints 8 CMS231.

So i started making the backgound with pink distress paper

embossed with baby feet prints and colored it also

with distress crayons.

Next I used the halftone stamp (CMS260) with black soot

distress oxide ink on top of the embossed paper.

Finally i sprayed some distress Mica spray -

antiqued bronze - on top.

While the background was drying I stamped

the pram with black versafine and colored it with

worn lipstick and  picked raspberry .

The wheels are colored with black soot.

I gave the pram image a sentiment from the 

Crazy Talk CMS236 stampset.

The paper flowers are from my stash and the Hello Girl

is stamped on one of the Aged Tickets (I used the 

backside). This sentiment is from Stampin'Up!

and is called Celebrate Baby.

Inside i used the strip that I cut of from the

front to make it the right size.

I decorated the envelop with the pram stamped in pink

and the use of the mini florish stencil (set 10).

of course my card is also for day 22 of

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

The Daily Marker day 21: Simon Says no stamping

No stamping?? It is hard not to touch a stamp,

but I did it!

On the Wednesday Blog of Simon Says Stamp

the challenge is to make a card without the

use of  stamps.

So I started with making the background with

direcht to paper coloring with worn lipstick

and using a alphabet stencil for some extra touches.

Next i used the sizzix coffee cups embossing folder.

With the coloring my card is also for 

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge

day 21.

Next i cut the coffee cup with the Tim Holtz Bigz die.

Decorations with a crinkle ribbon and a few paper flowers.

The sentiment is cut out (not stamped!) with a 

Verve Stamps coffee die and the wishes from

Tim Holtz.

With a little glue the cut out sentiment

is added to the card.

Thank you very much for looking

and have a latte great 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!

The Daily Marker day 19: Fab Friday Sketch

I found this lovely sjetch to make a card for today.

You find it this week at the 

Fab Friday Blog HERE.

This is the finished card 

and a matching envelope.

The background is made with a stencil by Tim Holtz:

Thatched THS104.

I used the Tim Holtz mini crazy cats and

dogs rubber stamps.

I used my distress oxides to color the image.

Just swipe some ink on your carft sheet 

and a few drops of water. With a water brush

you can add the color to the image.

The paws, the sentiment and the doily are by 

Stampin'Up! The sentiment is from an old set

called Here, Kitty Kitty.

And of couse it is another coloring day for 

The Daily Marker coloring Challenge.

I did not use them long time, so foir this challenge I got them out

(and you will see more of them). Once I started coloring i had two

fun cards in a jiffy!

shades of blue. The birthday sentiment is from my

stash ( I think it is SU! but I am not sure).

DL.ART.

tumbled glass oxide distress inks.
