Art by Mi Ran - Kalina

Hi all!

I am here to share my latest Art by Mi Ran project with you, because it is my turn to host the Art by Mi Ran blog. I decided to use one of Whimsy's Stamps which was released in November.

 The papers I used for my card are from Marianne Design, a Dutch desinger company. I love the pink color together with the aqua in this paper collection. 

I inked all edges with Distress Ink Walnut Stain.

 The stamp I used is called Kalina, and she is colored with my Copic Markers. I used the following.

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E13, E93, E95

Hair:  E71, E74, E77, E69

Dress: RV63, RV66, RV69

Basket: BG53, BG57, BG49

Flowers: Y32, Y35, Y38

Leaves: YG95, YG97

 I used a doily border die from Tim Holtz in my background, and tot decorate my card I added some Wild Orchid Crafts flowers.

The sentiment I used is from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps, and I stamped with Versafine Onyx black ink on some kraft cardstock.

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

Hugs, Sandra

The East Wind Challenge - A Meowy Christmas

Hi all!!

December is here, the last month of the year! It is my favorite month of the year, as we celebrate several things! First on Dec 5th we celebrate Sinterklaas, a Dutch tradition for kids. On the 15th we celebrate our daughters birthday, she will be 2 years old!!! And the Christmas, and New Years Eve, what a joy! I just love those holidays!

Anyway, since december is here, we also start a new challenge at The East Wind! Our theme for this one is easy, we want to see Christmas cards!!!

Here's mine

 The papers I used are from Carte Bella, and I inked all edges with Distress Ink Vintage Photo. 

I kept the design quite simple, because I printed off the image a little bit too big.

 The image I used is this months newsletter freebie, which you all received. I used my Copic Markers to color the image, and I used the following.

Big cat: E71, E74, E77, C00, C1, C3

Small cat: YR24, YR27

Holly and berries: YG95, YG97, R89, R46

Gold: Y23, Y26, Y28

Bow: R24, R46, R89

I covered the bauble in Glossy Accents, but is pretty hard to capture that on camera. I also added some dots with a gold pearlmaker pen.

 I added some Wild Orchid Crafts flowers as embellishments, and added some Magnola berries.

The sentiment is in Dutch, and says lots of big Christmas hugs. It is from a set from CreaMiep.

This was it for today, why don't you pop over and join us at The East Wind!

Hugs, Sandra
