Divas by Design - Use your favorite stamp

Hi all!

Welcome to a brand new challenge at Divas by Design this week! Our theme is such a lovely one, Use your Favorite Stamp! That can be a digital image or a rubber/clear stamp!
Our sponsor for this challenge is Stamp and Create. Just click on the banner below to go to their shop.


This is what I created

Saturated Canary's Breeze is currently by far my favorite stamp. I actually like all Krista's stamps, but this is my most favorite. She is available both as digital image and in rubber, and I used the LDRS Rubberstamp for this card.

I used my Copic Markers again to color the image, and I used the following markers.
Skin: E000, E00, E11, E13, R20
Eyes: E47, E49
Lips: W1, W3, R20
Hair: E41, E43, E47, E49
Dress: Y15, Y17, Y38, W1, W3, W5
I used my Nestabilities dies to cut out the image.

The papers I used for my card are by My Minds Eye. All edges are inked with Distress Ink Vintage Photo. The ribbon I used is from my stash, and all flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts. I also added some yellow rhinestones to finish my card.

That was it for today, I hope you all like it. Please pop over to Divas by Design and join us!

This is what I created for this challenge

Yes, that's right, I decided to go for a Christmas card! Every year I am thinking: "better start early with my christmascards this year" and every November I think: "Crap! Too late again!" Well, that ain't gonna happen this year, as with this card, I am halfway of the total amount of christmas cards I want to make! Hooray for me!

Anyway, the image I used is by Magnolia, and perfect for your christmas cards! I used my Copic Markers again, and now I look at the reds, I should have refilled my R22 marker. Too late, better order some refills now!

Hair: E51, E53, E55

Divas by Design - Anything but a card

Hi all!

Time for a new challenge at Divas by Design, and I really like this weeks theme! It's ANYTHING BUT A CARD!
Our sponsor this week is Craft Bag. Just click on the banner below to go to their shop.


This is what I created for this weeks challenge. I will show you some pictures first and give you most of the details later.

I decided to make a box for my tissues, because it was looking so boring! First I made a base from white cardstock, and added some slightly smaller kraft cardstock to it. The designer papers I used are from BoBunny. I used a Marianne Design border die for the main panel, and a Noor!Design die for another panel. The rosey lace trim is from my stash, and so are all the pearls and ribbon. The letters are made with the Noor!Design Scrabble letters. All flowers I used are Wild Orchid Crafts. Let me show you a photo of the main panel and I will give you the Copic coloring details.

The image I used is a rubberstamp from Saturated Canary. This adorable girl is called Charmings and I absolutely love her! I used my Copic Markers to color her, and I used the following.

Skin: E000, E00, E11, E13 and R20 for blush.

Hair: E11, E08, E09, E18

Dress: RV21, RV23, RV29

Middle part: YG91, YG93, YG95

That was it for today, I hope you like it. Now pop over to Divas by Design and join us!

Now, that was a lot of info, right? I'll show you my project now!

I made a 5,5 inch square card, using some lovely Echo Park Papers. I went through my files and found this sketch, but I can't seem to find it anywhere again, so I can't link back to it.

The image I used is called Ice Cream and Pickles from Saturated Canary, and I absolutely love her! I used my Copic Markers again to color the image, and I used the following.
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E13 and R20 for blush.

I made a little tag with the sentiment, and it is in Dutch. It says congrats on your pregnancy! I stamped it in Stampin Up Whisper White ink and used some detail white embossingpowder on it.

Of course I couldn't help myself, so I had to make a flower bouquet. All flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts. To finish off my card I used several red rhinestones from my stash.

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

Divas by Design - Flower Power

Hi all!

Time for a new challenge at Divas by Design! This weeks theme is one close to my heart, FLOWER POWER! Well, for someone who is known for her flower bouquets it's not that hard right?
Anyway, we have a fabulous sponsor the week, Live and Love Crafts. Just click on the banner below to go to the shop.


This is what I created for the challenge.

I used a sketch from Tiets to make this card, and I really like how it turned out.

The image I used for this card is called Rose Red, by Saturated Canary. I have her both as a digital image and as a rubberstamp, and I soooo love her! She is not available as a digi anymore, but you can always buy the rubberstamp, right?

I used my trusted Copic Markers again to color the image, and I used the following.
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E13 and R20 for blush
Hair: E11, E13, E15, E18, E29
Eyes: BG72, BG75
Dress: BG72, BG75, BG78, BG90, BG93, BG96, BG99
Tree: E18, E29, G43, G46
Nest: E13, E15
Bird: Y21, Y28
Eggs: E40, E41

The papers I used are by Basic Grey, Serenade collection. All edges are inked with Distress Ink Vintage Photo. The sentiment I used is by Whimsy stamps. The pearls were actually white, but I used my BG75 Copic Marker to make them match my papers.

The flowers I used are from Wild Orchid Crafts, except from the white ones. Those are in my stash for ages, and I have absolutely no idea where they are from.

That was it for today, now hop over to Divas by Design, and show us your flower power!
