"Happy birthday" at Derwents!

Hi friends!

 it's been a while since I posted something here. My daughter was in the hospital and I was not so very motivated to create. But she is doing much better now, is home with us and full of energy again. So my mojo is gradually coming back again! 

And that's a good thing, because we have a new challenge over at the Derwentblog. Annemiek has made a sketch for us to work with. Thanks Annemiek!

To decorate my card I used some dies from Marianne design.

I furthermore stamped a piece of white cardstock with blue bobbles and a nice sentiment. The little flowers and butterflies were coloured in with my spica markers.

The pencils I used to colour this lovely scene created with my Ollyfant-stamps:

skinn: 170-190-620

hair: 530-640

dress and hat: 130-300

underpants: 360

goose: 710-540

sand: 580

starfish: 590

frame: 450

So if you too colour with Derwent softcolour pencils, join us (again) with this sketch-challenge and you can win a beautiful stamp from Magnolia and being a guest designer for the next challenge. 

I hope to see you there!

The 2010-cards.....

I hope you have enjoyed this gallerie. Please let me know, OK?! Thanks!!

Celebrate the moments

The other day my mother had her birthday, so I made her a card. And because she just loves purple, was it not difficult to choose the coloursetting. I saw a beautiful sketch in Magnolia Ink which I used.

I would like to enter in the following challenges:

Flutter by Wednesday: open challenge with butterflies

Derwent: everything goes, but colour with Derwent pencils

I decorated with some flowers, leaves and buttons. 

Because she has 3 granddaughter (my 3 girls), I decided to mask 3 Ollyfant-girls for her card. A little indiangirl, a farmergirl and a citygirl, coloured with my favourite Derwent pencils.

skin: 170-190-620

cheeks: 180

hair indiangirl: 590-630

hair farmergirl: 530-630

hair citygirl: 570-560-580-530

green: 440-420

purple: 230-260-280

The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday and I used paper from Marianne Design.

For the inside I punched out 3 circles and placed them together with yet another Technique Tuesday-sentiment.

And of course on the back my personal stamp.

My mother was very happy with her presents AND card. Tell me please what you think?!

Thanks!!

Splash!

This last card for today is an entry for the challenge at Scrappekammeret. My dear friend Linda made a sketch and of course I had to use it!! I also want to enter it at Sentimental Sundays. A newly found challengeblog, where the challenge this week is to make a playfull card. 

This sweet boy is going to the beach and he is taking his sailingboat with him. He and his boat are Ollyfant stamps. The cloud is me drawing a little bit ;-) At the old blog from Inge I read the other day about chalking the shadows around a stamp. I used this technique here on the blue sky and sandy beach. 

Do I have to say that I coloured again with my Derwent coloursoft pencils? Nope....

skin: 170-190-620

hair: 530-640

sweater and flag: 130

shorts and boat: 340-310

sail: 450

rope and wood: 530

sand: 580

For the sentiment was not enough room to place it in sight on my card, so I made a tag with my Silhouette, which you can take out. This sentiment is a freebie on Create with TLC. 

I decorated the inside with some punched circles from the designpaper.

So what do you think of this summerly card? Let me know, OK?! 

Thanks again!!

Hartelijk gefeliciteerd!

This card I made for my handicapped uncle for his birthday. And I like to compete with it in 3 challenges:

* Friday Sketchers for the sketch (of course)

* Derwents for making a green boyscard 

* A spoon full of sugar for making a "celebrations"-card

I used an Ollyfantstamp from the series on the farm. The paper is from my left-overstash.

I coloured this image with my Derwent coloursoft pencils using 180 + 610 for the face, 530 + 630 for his hair, 500 for the barrel, 420 + 470 for his clothing and 040 + 070 for the sweet wooden shoes!

I added a little brown in the card using two buttons. The scrappersfloss is lightgreen again. 

These little droplets are from KaiserCraft. 

Because the stamp was a little bit too big for my oval nestability, I used the "out of the box" technique. 

I just mailed it today. I hope my uncle likes this card, but I think he will.

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a great day!

My oldest daughter is turning 7 in July and I already made a card for her. I read about three challenges which all three fit the bill perfectly:

1. the sketch from Friday Sketchers

2. Cute and girly from A Spoon full of Sugar

3. Using only pink in your colouring from Derwents

I made this card at my mom's and I used some of her dies from Crealies. 

The little pink roses I found in her stash!! 

This cute prinsess is a Ollyfant stamp, just coloured with pink. For those who are interested, I used the following pencils: face: 180 + 610, hair: 650 + 660 + 690, wardrobe: 160 + 210.

The beautifull dress is a little big for this little princess. 

Of course I did some decorating on the inside. 

Now I have to keep this one a secret for my girl for two months. But in the end I am sure that she is going to like her princesscard.

Thanks for your visit!
