Love to Create - Clean and Simple or Classy and Elegant

Hi all!

Monday again, which means a new challenge at Love to Create! We have a double themed challenge, which means you can pick any of the two themes. The themes are Clean and Simple, and Classy and Elegant.
We also have two fabulous sponsors for this challenge, just click on the banners below to go to their shops.
MilkCoffee Stamps, who is offering 4 images of the winners choice.

Di's Digi Downloads who is offering a $10 gift certificate to her store


This is what I created for this challenge.

I chose to go Clean and Simple. As most of you may know, my cards are always colourful, and with a lot of embellies, mostly flowers. So it must be no surprise I had a hard time creating this card. It was a real challenge to not add any embellishments, and I was so tempted to do it!

The image I used is generously sponsored by MilkCoffee Stamps. This lovely girl is called Charlotte is a nurse, and she can be purchased here. I used my Copic Markers to color the image and I used the following.
Skin: E50, E51, E53 and R20 for blush.
Hair: E53, E55, E57
Outfit: C00, C0, C2, C5, R24, R27
Shading: W00, W1, W3
The sentiment I used is from a set by Nicole Verkooijen.

That was it for today, please hop over to Love to Create!

ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #202 - CARDS FOR A YOUNG BOY

Hi all!

It's Sunday again... Wow, time flies! Time for a new challenge at Robyn's Fetish. This week we want to see cards for young boys. We also have a fabulous sponsor for this challenge, Milk Coffee Stamps. They are offering 3 images of the winners choice, that's very generous! Just click on the banner below to go to their shop.

Milk Coffe Stamps also generously provided some images to the DT to work with, and this is what I created.

I made a 4.25 x 5.5 inch card, this is the size I use most. I am used to create cards for women and girls, but I always have a hard time making boy or masculine cards.

This little pal is called Sherriff Bobby, and can be puchased here. I used my Copic Markers to color him, and I used the following markers
Skin: E00, E02 and R20 for blush
Hair: E23, E25, E27

Scarf: R24, R27, R29

Shading: C00, C1, C3

The papers I used are by Basic Grey, Oxford collection, and so are all the brads I used. I used some twine and white ribbon from my stash too.

The sentiment I used is by Whimsy Stamps, I really love that set!

That was it for today, thanks for stopping by. Please pop over to Robyn's Fetish and give my DT-sisters some love too!

Hugs, Sandra

Robyn's Fetish Challenge #156 - Make your own flowers

Hi all!

New Sunday, New Challenge! Time for a great new challenge at Robyn's Fetish! This week we have an awesome challenge theme, MAKE YOUR OWN FLOWERS. This couldn't be a better one for me, as I use a ton of flowers each month! Some say I use too much, but I just love them! I usually use pre-made flowers from a shop, but I have several different dies to make my own.

Anyway, we have a fabulous sponsor AGAIN, the lovely Milk Coffee Stamps is sponsoring us this week. They are offering 3 digital stamps of the winners choice, so you better enter! Just click on the banner below to go to the shop!


Milk Coffee Stamps also generously sponsored some beautiful images to the DT-girls, so be sure to visit them all! This is my creation.

I made a little box out of designerpaper. I used a template from a Dutch Magazine called Kadoosjes. The papers I used are by K&Company and I have had them for years now. I rarely use them, but I really love them!

Here is a sideview picture. Before I go tell y'all about my handmade flowers, let me show you the colored image first.

Like I said earlier, Milk Coffee Stamps provided us DT-girls some images and I used Tiffany playing violin. She can be found here. Tiffany is colored with my beloved Copics, and I used the following markers.
Skin: E50, E51, E53 and R20 for blush.
Hair: E53, E55, E57, E59
Dress: C00, C0, C2, C5
Flowers: V05, V06, V09 and YG06 for the leafs.
Violin: E53, E55

Now, onto the flowers!

For the large purple rose in the middle I used a Creatables die by Marianne Design. It is just a flat flower, but I used a tutorial on YouTube to make it into a rose. You can find the tutorial here. That weird language she is speaking in is mine, Dutch, but what she does is obvious!

The little purple roses and the bigger green roses are also made with a Creatables die, rolled rose, but you can just roll the diecut into a little rose. You start on the outside edge, and roll your way in, and voila, your own rose!
The leafs are also cut with a Creatables die. To make them stand out a bit more I used some Distress Ink Walnut Stain on the edges.
To finish my little flower bouquet I used some pearl string and adhered in between the flowers.
The ribbon I used on the lid of the box is from my stash.

That was it for today, I hope you liked it.

Here is what I created for this challenge.

Hearts and clothes: R81, R83 and R85

I also used some Glossy Accents on the apples to make them shiny.
The image is cut out with my Nestabilities Circle die.

The sentiment is stamped onto Kraft cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The stamp is a clearstamp by Imaginisce. The ribbon is from my stash and matches perfectly with the BG96 marker I used on the leafs. The paper flowers and rose are by Prima Marketing.
The papers I used are by My Minds Eye. All edges are inked with Distress Ink Vintage Photo.
