Warm & Snugly Christmas Wishes...CCWS # 23

Hi!

I cannot believe that it is already two weeks since I posted here. Time flies really... And it is also two weeks since our last challenge at Christmas Challenges {with sketches}! So here is a new one for all of you die-hards that still are making cards for Christmas. 

It was my pleasure to be able to make a sketch for you this time. And we have a twist again!!

Only use WHITE! 

You can colour your stamp of course, otherwise it would be a little bit dull, don't you think? So now is the chance to use a lot of textures on your card. 

I took my cuttlebug and used a lot of my embossingsfolders. I didn't want to ink the edges, so I used stickles and glossy accents. To make the bow I used my Bow Easy.

In the heart of my snowflakes I used my perlen pen. And I just love that netting ribbon!!

This golden oldie was coloured with my Copics again:

skin: E50-51-53

hair: E35-31-Y32

clothes: B97-95-93-91

socks and bow: V95-93-91 and later on: R85-83-81

bench: E47-44-43

rug: Y21-32-E50

shadow: C2

These two weeks we are being sponsored by

So come on and make another Christmas card for your stack. Visit the Christmas Challenges blog and take a look at all the beautiful card the design team made for you as an inspiration. 

Hope to see you there!!

Bye bye...

Liefs

Hi everybody!

I have made a new card for the Derwent-challengeblog. This time you need to make a summerly card for us. Well, this is my version of summer.

Red, white and yellow flowers from my stash and I cut the leaves with my Silhouette out of kraftpaper. Then I painted them green in 2 layers, a lightgreen and a darkergreen.

On the top I added a butterfly, also cut out with my Sil. To highlight it some more I covered it with glossy accent.

This Hänglar-Stänglar girl was of course colored with my Derwent colorsoft pencils:

skin: 170-190-620

hair: 550-620-610

clothes: 010-400-040-130

shoes: 400-610

plant trough with the plants: 490-490-400-130

The back of the card was lightly decoraded with a piece of designpaper from DCWV, one branche of leaves and of course my personal stamp.

I hope you hop on over to the Derwent-challengeblog and let yourself get inspired by all the beautiful creations of my DT-colleagues. And of course join in on the fun!!

It's fun being a kid!

This card I made for the Derwent-challenge blog. We have a new challenge to join for you Derwent-fans. Make a card for a boy. I scraplifted a beautiful card made by Marga. Go and visit her blog, she makes the most beautiful cards!

Some details, I used two buttons and a little bit of twine.

And here I roughly painted a chipboard anchor blue with my paintdabber.

The coloursoft pencils I used:

skin: 170-190-620

hair: 590-600

blouse: 440

sweater and shoes: 480

The sentiment I found on Create with TLC.

Be sure to visit the girls from the DT. You can find their blogs in my sidebar.

See you at Derwent!

Happy Birthday, girlfriend!!

In november had my dear scrappingfriend Linda her birthday. Of course I had a present for her and made her this birthdaycard. 

She is very fond of vintage, so I tried to make her a vintagecard. I'm not so very good at this style, but I think it worked out quit allright. 

I used different flowers for decoration.

This Tilda was coloured with the following Derwent pencils:

skinn: 170-190-620

hair: 570-650

clothes: 120-480

flower: 050

shoes: 650

I made a label, distressed it and stamped a happy birthday-greeting on it. 

For the inside I cut out of the designpaper two triangles. 

On the backside I let the tag come back for my personal stamp.

My friend was very pleased with her vintagecard. And so was I!

Thanks for your visit and see you next time!!

A christmas card in red

Another challenge is going on on the Derwent-blog. This time we expect you to make a christmascard using the colour red. Well is that really a challenge. Red is of course THE christmascolour by far! 

This is my exemplecard. I liftet a card seen in the Magnolia Ink from 2009. Thought that was a beautiful design. 

These flowers I punched out with my new Cuttlebug, using a cutting die from Spellbinders. I embossed them and inked them up with some distress ink.

Of course I coloured this golden oldie from Hanglär & Stanglär with my Derwent coloursoft pencils.

face: 170-190-620

hair: 560-570

clothes: 610

socks: 480

bench: 600

To give this card a little bit extra, I punched small holes at the bottom and I did some crochet. That was very fun to do!

The circle on the card is embossed with a Fiskars embossing plate. It was very white in the beginning, so I used a little bit of distress ink here also and sponced the swirls lightly.

Thank you again for your visit. I hope to hear from you!!

"Mappekort" a briefcase-card

Quite a while ago I saw on Papirgelder.no a very nice way to wrap something delicious. It is what the Norwegians call "mappekort", a so to call briefcase-card. 

It is a very simple card, easy and quikly made. So it doesn't take long before you can decorate. 

Of course I used a stamp, this time this cuty from Hänglar & Stänglar. 

skinn: 170-190-620

hair: 530-640

t-shirt and socks: 390-380

trousers: 200-110

shoes: 080-650

block and bows: 050

And here are just some details. Check out Papirgleden and make such a card yourself. It's such a nice way to wrap up a nice gift in. 

By the way, this was my contribution for the Derwent-challengeblog for the coming 2 weeks. Join in on the fun there also, OK?! You can win a nice package from me this time, all goodies from Kort og Godt from Norway. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Congrats!

With the colourful paper of Basic Grey (Color me Silly), I made this card for the son of my friend. He was turning 10. I wasn't sure he likes to go fishing, but I liked the stamp of this little fisherman, so I used it. 

I would want to participate in the following challenges:

Fussy & Fancy: for the sketch

Derwent: anything goes, but colour with Derwent pencils

Stampin' for the weekend: anything goes

It has become a very boyish card I think. No bows and girly stuff!

For the sentiment I brought out my Wizard. I used a little cuttlebug folder and embossed it on a piece of paper. Then I sanded the letters and voilà, there it was: congrats!

A quarter of the circle pops out of the big one a little bit.

I love the bold colours of this little man.

face: 170-190-620

hair: 600-630

his wardrobe and supplies: 050-130-440-080-340-250-640-670

For the inside I used the negative of the circle on the front and I made another "congrats!" 

(I loved it so much!)

What do you think? Let me know, OK?! 

Thanks!!

Stoer

For a little boy I made this card with a knight on it. 

The shape of the card is a pennant as seen on the top of a knight's castle. The front of the card I cut out with my Silhouette. And I draw back and cut it out by hand. To dress the card I placed a nice red feather on top.

I made a ticket with "stoer" on it. It means tough in dutch. 

Here you can see the inside of the card. I used paper that "changes" from red to white. 

And to emphasize the ticket I used a chipboard diecut from Basic Grey. I painted it with my dabbers and sprayed with some pearl Glimmer mist.

The knight in shining armour was a little bit difficult to colour. But I managed to get the job done!

skin: 180+610

armour: 660+670+690

feather and shield: 100+120

shadow: 360

ground: 530

and I used my silver pen and white pen

Do you like my though guy? I do!!

Hi!

When I saw the sketch on Friday Sketchers, I just had to make a card with it. It was a little bit of a challenge, because there are many layers on it and I'm not really used to that. I wasn't really surprised when I noticed that the sketch was made by Inge. She is a lady who uses very often, multiple layers and I just love it. Go visit her blog and you know what I mean!

Besides the sketch I was free to do what I wanted. Of course I'm always free, but what I mean is, that I didn't follow any other challenges. For the sentiment I used a homemade ticket, inspired by Mirabyll. I made a whole bunch of those just to choose from, whenever I want to. 

This stamp I have for quite a while, but never used it before. I bought it secondhand on the internet with a few others from Hänglar & Stänglar. It was the perfect size for my card. I coloured her with my Derwent coloursoft pencils. 

hair and pots: 530+640

skin: 170+190+200

barrow and sack: 010+490+390

watering can: 690+700

hearts and pocket on trouser suite: 480

grass: 480+490

blouse and shoes: 260

trouser suite: 290

As you can probably see the heart of the white flowers is a buttonflower. I found those with my sewingstuff and thought they would do nicely her. 

This particular card does not have a destination yet, but I think it won't be long before I can make someone happy with this one. 

Thanks for stopping by and I would love to hear what you think about my card!!
