Wishing you a great day

Hi all!

Yesterday we had a birthday party from our friend, and couldn't just give her nothing. That's why I made her a birthdaycard!

This is the card, she really liked it! I used my new CC-design stamp, cupcake Emma, perfect for a birthday card!
Here's a close up of her!

I used my Copic Markers to color her, but since I paper-piece the cake wrapping and the bow in her hair, I didn't use a whole lot of colors.
Skin: E0000. E00, E11 and R20 for blush.
Hair and shoes: E31, E33 and E35
Dress: V12, V15 and V17
Cake topping: V12, V15 and V17, YG91 and YG95
I didn't want to leave the paper pieced objects as it is, so I used my W3 and W1 to add some shading.

The sentiment I used is by Nicole Verkooijen, traced the esge with my V15 Copic and add some pearls to it, which I made with my pearlmaker pen.

The DP I used is by Basic Grey, Plumeria. I love the orange and pink in it! Used a ribbon tied in a bow as an embellishment, and some different paper flowers.
I matted the cardfront on some black cardstock and did that with the large orange piece too.

That's it for today, hope you all enjoyed it! Hope to see you soon!

This card is entering the following challenges:
All that Scraps - Paper piecing
Diva's by Design - Happy birthday
Stampavie and More - Happy birthday


Hugs, Sandra

Card or scrap?

Hi all!

As some of you might know, I used to scrapbook a lot, but now I only make cards. But sometimes, I just can't resist it! So why not combine it?
That's exactly what I did here, made a card with a picture of our wedding!

I am very happy with the result! I created this card to thank a family, who gave us a present for our wedding. I haven't had the chance to thanks them personally, that's why I created this card.

I used several different flowers, matching the colors of the papers I used.
They are from 2 different paperpads, both My Minds Eye.

The sentiment is the Dutch word for thank you.
Hope the family likes it!'

That's it for today, see you soon!

Hugs, Sandra

It's a dogs world

Hi all!

Here I am again from a sunny and hot Holland! At last, summer has arrived, but only for a short time... There will be rain and thunder in the afternoon, so I am enjoying it every spare minute I have.
The following project is for the new challenge over at Digi Haven, it's a dogs world.

As you all can see, this is not just a card! It is made from an envelope. I made a tutorial about this project, still have to finish everything off, and then I will post it on my blog.
My dear friend Krista also made this project, hop over to her blog to see her version!
She will also be posting the tutorial we made together!

Personally I don't own a dog, but I really love them. Just because of my allergies I can't have one...
Anyway, this cute little doggie is called Bernie, you can find him here!
He is colored with my copics, not a large amount this time!
Fur: E71 and E77
Spots: C1 and colorless blender
Tongue: R20 and R22
Nose: 100, C7 and C5

These are all the tags in this project. The sentiments I made myself by googling on quotes about dogs.
Will be posting the tutorial asap, so come back later and be sure to use it!

That's it for today, head over to the Digi Haven blog and join us! Just make sure you use free digi's and have fun!


Hugs, Sandra
