Take care!

Hi all!!

I recently visited a craft fair, and saw a demo about a new-to-me technique, and I thought I'd give it a try, so I am sharing my card with you all!

The background stamp is from Darkroom Door, and I colored each block with a Copic Marker. I used RV63, RV66 and RV69. After coloring I sprayed some Copic Activator on it, and pressed it on my paper. This gives you the colored background. I think this is a lovely technique for some quick clean and simple cards!

 I stamped a tree, some flowers and a sentiment with different stamps from my stash. I used Stazon ink for it. To finish off my card, I used some pearls and added some twine.

This was it for today, I hope you like it, eventhough it is not my normal style!

Hugs, Sandra

Good luck in your new home!

Hi all!!

One of my hubby's coworkers has recently moved into his new house, so I made him a card! This whole card was inspired from a card I saw on Pinterest, and guess what, I didn't pin it, so I can't give credit... I am so sorry, but I want to thank the woman who made it for the idea <3 p="">

 This isn't actually a card, but it is an envelope, made with a template from Dutch Doobadoo. I used some kraft cardstok to create the envelope. The papers I used are all leftover scraps from a paperpad from Authentique.

 The image I used is from Dr. Digi, he is called Dunderton Decorators Ltd. Perfect for this card! I used my Copic Markers to color him, and I used the following markers.

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E13

Shirt, moustache, paint can and paint roller: C00, C0, C2, C5

Dungarees: YG91, YG93, YG95, YG97

Paint: V12, V15, V17

Shoes: E23, E25, E27

I also used Glossy Accents on his glasses, but that is kind of hard to see on this pic. 

 I also used the Paint can and Paint roller images from Dr Digi, and they are colored in the same colors as the main image.

The sentiment I used is from a set from Nicole Verkooijen, and says Good luck on your new home. 

This is the insert for the envelope. I used the green paper as a belly band, and I inserted a gift card as a present.

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

Hugs, Sandra

The East Wind Challenge - Add texture

Hi all!!

It is already Oct 1st, so that means it is time for a brand new challenge at The East Wind! Our theme for this challenge is Add Texture, so there are plenty of opportunities.

Here is the sample that I created

 When I saw this image, I immediately thought of Halloween, but I live in Holland, we don't celebrate Halloween. I don't have much crafty stuff for Halloween, but I found something! The papers I used are from Basic Grey, Eerie collection. All edges are inked with Distress Ink Black soot.

 The image I used is this months newsletter Freebie, isn't this gorgeous? I used my Copic Markers again to color it up, and I used the following.

Dragon: G21, G82, G85, E08, E09

Bottle: YR0000, YR000

Liquid: V12, V15, V17

 The sentiment is stamped with Stampin' Up Whisper White ink, and heat embossed with white embossing powder, to create some texture.

I also added some ribbon for texture. To finish off my card I used a sticker from the sticker sheet from the paper collection.

This was it for today, I hope you like it, Please pop over to The East Wind, and join us!

Hugs, Sandra
