Santa is coming to town!

Yes, you see them everywhere. But they are so nice and so simple to make. The tealightcard. On the club of Janneke was in november a challenge to make such a card. She had a link within the challenge how to make a tealightcard.

This cute little bear is Milton with stocking from Wildrosestudio. I coloured him using these Derwent coloursoftpencils

bear: 560

nose: 570

ears: 170

stocking: 430 - 130

The sentiment on the label is a oldie from Magnolia, the Christmascollection. 

A very nice and simple gift. Please let me know what you think.

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!!
