Just because

At the challenge-blog of Derwent you can participate if you want to make something other than a card and use the colour blue as your maincolour. This is my example. Hopefully I can inspire someone. 

The box itself is cut out with my Silhouette.  

The stamps I used are from Inger Harding. I bought them at Panduro here in Norway.

skinn: 170-190-620

hair: 560-580

branche: 530-600

dress: 360-130

socks: 130

shoes: 360

leaves: 490-450

In the box I put some tea lights. We need some light now that it is getting winter, right?

On the sides there are some butterflies. 

Why don't you check out the Derwent-blog, make something beautiful and participate in the challenge. 

And of course visit my DT-colleagues, they have made wonderfull things too:

Dina, Annemiek, Thea and Ellen.

See you next time!

Sending warm fuzzies

A while ago I made this card for an aunt. She had her birthday and just loves cats. Thought this was just the card for her. I used 3 different designpapers from Marianne Design and this funny cat from Penny Black.

I used these Derwent coloursoft pencils to colour this kitty:

fur: 600-610

clothesline: 630

paws and butterflies: 180

clothes pins: 030

clothes: 190-200-420-490-

230-280-010-340-350-120

shadow: 360

I gave the designpapers a little bit extra by sewing around the edges. 

It was fun to use my sewingmachine again.

With dark blue I stamped the warm fuzzies right onto the designpaper.

Using some bit of paper, I decorated the backside and stamped my personal stamp onto it. 

Well, what do you think of this naughty animal, laying in the laundry?

Thanks for your visit!

Trick or treat!

I want to present to you, my Halloween DT-card for the Derwent-challenging blog. We had to make a Halloween-card. This (not so) scary witch is, I think; the little sister of the little dwarf from earlier. I still not know their names....

I want to participate in the Double Dutch challenge. 

I used the following Derwent coloursoft pencils:

skinn: 170-190-620

hair: 010

pumpkin and shirt: 080

trousers and hatband: 090

hat and coat: 680-650

branche and ground: 640

shadow: 360

The spiderweb is cut out on my Silhouette SD. 

I decorated the inside with a little rhyme I found on the internet somewhere. And stamped 2 little spiders.

To make my personal stamp a little bit scary, there are 2 spiders watching it......booooo!!!

Let me know what you think, OK? I love to hear from you all!

Just saying hello...

With the sketch from Friday Sketchers on my desk, I made this card. I'm also participating with it in a compatition on clubs, the Scrap en Stempel club. I got this lovely Magnolia stamp from Lilian (thanks girl!). I think she is just lovely!!

For the sentiment I used a clear stamp which I bended on my acrylic block and then stamped. 

Of course I coloured her with my Derwent coloursoft pencils.

skinn: 170-190-620

hair: 530-630

pumpkins: 080-480

dress and hat: 090-250

socks: 250

shoes: 650

This frame is a die cut from Silhouette SD. Isn't it beautiful?! And with the new software, you can cut it even easier, faster and more precise.

A smaller version of the frame is used on the back of the card with my personal stamp in it.

Well? Let me know what you think, OK?!

Thanks for stopping by, see ya!

A happy hello

For the Derwent-challenge blog I made this card. The challenge is to make a autumncard in the colours brown and green. 

I went through my old designpaper and found some pieces and bits that actually matched each other.  For the sketch I used one, I found on the Scrap en Stempel-club. When I saw it I fell in love, I really like it a lot.

This sweet little dwarf I got from my mother. I have no idea what its name is, so if anybody knows, please tell me. Of course I coloured him in with my one and only box of Derwent coloursoft pencils.

Skinn: 170-190-620

cap and pants: 480

sweater: 450

socks: 510

mushroom: 610-590-510

stones: 510

grass: 450

insect: 

I stamped the sentiment with white ink, but I had to trace it with my white pen.  

It's like the dwarf is saying hello to the bug, so there it is, a happy hello.

Some of the paper I distressed and some paper I left the way it was

I think this turned out to be a sweetie again. So if you too colour with Derwent coloursoft pencils, join the challenge! And of course visit my fellow DT-members for their beautiful cards and leave them a message as well.

Thanks for your visit and (hopefully) nice words!
