Art by Mi Ran - Just because you are special

Hi all!!

It has been quite a while since I posted something on my blog, but I have been crafting a lot I can tell you! I have been working on some mini albums, and in between I also worked on this card, that is showcased on the Art by Mi Ran blog today.

 I used a Dutch Doobadoo template to create the shape of my card. The papers I used are by Cosmo Cricket, Evangeline collection, All edges are inked with Distress Ink Walnut Stain.

I decorated the front of the camera, which is actually a pocket, with a card on the inside

 On the inside I kept my lay-out quite simple, as I wanted the main focus to be on the image, I used a Dutch Doobadoo polaroid template to create a polaroid look

 The image is called Sweet and Sassy, and can be found here. I used some Promarkers to color her skin, and the rest is colored with Copic Markers. I used the following

Hair: E55, E57, E59

Dress: BG70, BG72, BG75, BG78

Belt and scarf: R20, R22, R35

Flowers: R81, R83

 On the front I used several different Willd Orchid Crafts flowers, which I absolutely adore!!!

The sentiment is a sticker from Kimya, and it says Just because you are special.

This was it for today, I hope you like it.

Hugs, Sandra

Copic Marker Benelux - Special Delivery!

Goedemorgen lieve Copic fans,

 Ik vind het altijd leuk om bloemen te kleuren, maar ik vind haren kleuren ook altijd fantastisch om te doen. En wat is er nou beter dan bloemen in haren? Juist, dat is ideaal voor mij!

Deze keer heb ik een doosje van Kimya gepimpt, erg leuk als je snel een cadeautje nodig hebt! Ik heb deze gelijk nadat ik 'm gemaakt had gevuld met snoepjes en envelopje met geld en aan een vriendin gegeven voor haar verjaardag. Dit maakt geld geven toch weer een stuk leuker.

 The digi die ik gebruikt heb is van The East Wind, en ze heet Floral Kisses. Ik heb de volgende Copic kleuren gebruikt.

Huid: E000, E00, E21, E13 en R20 voor de wangen

Haar: E81, E94, E87, E89

Shirt: R00, R02, R05

Bloemen: R00, R02, R05, Y23, Y26, Y28, BG72, BG75, BG78

Blaadjes: YG93, YG95, YG97

 De tekststempel is van Little Darlings Rubber Stamps en paste natuurlijk wel bij het cadeau doosje. De bloemetjes die ik heb gebruikt zijn allemaal van Wild Orchid Crafts.

Het papier dat ik heb gebruikt komt uit een paper pad van Cosmo Cricket. Ik heb alle randjes beïnkt met Distress Ink Vintage Photo. Tot slot heb ik nog een stans van Noor!Design gebruikt. Om een speels effect te creëren, sneed ik mijn gestanste vorm doormidden en plakte de twee delen langs de zijrand en bovenrand.

Dit was het weer voor vandaag, ik hoop dat ik jullie weer heb kunnen inspireren!

Liefs, Sandra
