Oh Christmas Tree Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the Oh Christmas Tree Blog Hop, brought to you by the design teams of Made Especially For You and Red Carpet Studio!

Today the design teams of Made Especially For You and Red Carpet Studio have teamed up to share with you all sorts of Christmas tree projects to help you get ready for the Christmas season!

 If you're looking to start at the beginning of the hop, please visit Ashley's blog. If you've come from Pam's blog, you're in the right place!

 

For today's hop, I made this lovely card!

 

 

I used a rubberstamp from Saturated Canary, called Trimming the Tree, here is a close up of my colored image.

She is stamped on Clairfontaine DCP Paper with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, and colored with my Copic Markers. I used the following markers.

Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11 and R20 for blush.

Hair: E35, E57, E59.

Clothes: W0, W1, W3, W5, W7, R27, R29.

Tree: E57, E59, G43, G46

I also added tiny white dots to the bow in her hair and on her dress with a white gelpen, so it looks like polkadots!

The paper I used is by Echo Park, A very merry Christmas collection. The clock die is by Tim Holtz, and I used some paper roses to make a little bouquet. The holly leafs are made with a Nellie Snellen Punches. I also used some rhinestones from my stash.

I made a little hidden tag, that is behind my main image, the sentiment is from Imaginisce. I made a bow from lace and attached a flower to it.

Just sitting here...

HI girls!

I did some crafting yesterday, but I couldn't make any pictures. The weather was really bad over here, lots and lots of rain, and thunder and lightening...
Since it was too dark to make some pictures it had to wait!
And here it is!

I made a 13,5cm square card, used My minds eye papers, and a digi by Saturated Canary. Oh, I am totally in love with them!!
Here's a close up of the colored image.

The digi is called Springtime, and she is colored with my Copic Markers.
I used the following colors:
Skin: E0000, E00, E21, E11 and R20 for blush.
Lips: R22
Eyes: YG91, YG95
Hair: E29, E37, E35 and E11
Clothes: YG91, YG95, R20, R22
Grass: YG63 and YG67

I used some flowers from my stash. The sentiment is by AmyR, perfectly fits this cute girl.

I would love to enter the following challenges
Saturated Canary - Guest Designer Call
Joyful Stamper - Anything goes
Dutch Dare Card Challenges - Summer Fun

Hope you all enjoyed it, see you soon!

Hugs, Sandra

I just want to say...

Hey everybody!

I went shopping the day before yesterdag, and I bought several different paperpads and some new copic markers! And of course I had to play with it! I made this card sunday evening, and I really liked it.

As you all can see, I didn't use a Magnolia image this time! Shocking, isn't it huh!!
I used a digi by Krista, Satured Canary! While I was coloring I noticed how hard it was to color her hair, but in the end I'm quite happy with it. I have to practice a lot more, haha!!

These are the Copic markers I used,
Skin: E0000, E00, E11, E21 and R20 for blush
Hair: E29, E08 and E11
Dress: R83, R85, R27, R29, Y06, Y08, R00 and R02
Dove: W01, W03

I used one of my new paperpads, Basic Grey - Kissing Booth. Such bright colors, totally my style!
I also did the inside of the card.

I used some left-overs from the papers I used on the cardfront.
The sentiments I used are from a set bij Nicole Verkooijen.

Hope you al liked it, see you next time!
Hugs, Sandra
