Art by Mi Ran - Ice Skater Macy

Hi all!!

Welcome again to my blog, and welcome to all new followers!! Today is my turn to host the Art by Mi Ran Showcase blog, and here is the project I made for it.

 I am still in the Christmas/Holiday mood, eventhough I already finished my Christmas cards for this year in september already.

The papers I used are by Echo Park, and I have used it so many times, there are only scraps left, no full sheets. I am really liking this paperpad and I am thinking of buying another one.

 The image I used is called Ice Skater Macy, and she will be released later today, so this is actually a sneek peek! Will try to pop back in later to add the link to the shop. 

I used my Copic Markers again to color her, and I used the following.

Skin: E000, E00, E11, E13, and E93 for blush

Hair: BG10, BG11, BG13

Eyes, Coat and Skates: YG91, YG93, YG95, YG97

Pants: B32, B37, B39

Earmuffs, scarf and mittens: R22, R35, R46, R59

The sentiment I used is from a set from AmyR, stamped with Versafine Onyx black ink. The snowflakes were made with a punch from Martha Stewart, and I added some bling to the centers.

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

Hugs, Sandra

Copic Marker Benelux - Time to Celebrate

Hallo allemaal!

Hi all!

Toen ik net startte met kaarten maken, bleef ik heel erg hangen op 1 techniek. Al mijn kaartjes hadden dezelfde kleuren, dezelfde lay-out en veel dezelfde embellishments. Sinds een tijdje "verplicht" ik mezelf om af en toe uit mijn comfort zone te gaan, en ik kan je vertellen dat het best goed bevalt! Ik hoor jullie denken, wat bedoel je San? 

Nou, ik zal het je laten zien met dit kaartje!

When I first started cardmaking, I only used 1 technique. All my cards had the same colors, embellishments and lay-out. A while ago I challenged myself to go outside my comfort zone, and I must admit, I quite like it! I can hear you thinking: What do you mean San? Well, for example, this whole card!

Ik heb een dubbele easelkaart gemaakt. Het papier dat ik heb gebruikt is van American Crafts.

I made a double easel card, using American Crafts papers.

Het afdrukje dat ik heb gekleurd is van Whimsy stamps, ze heet Flo en is ontworpen door Art by Mi Ran. Ik heb natuurlijk mijn Copic Markers weer gebruikt.

The image I used is a rubber stamp from Whimsy, designed by Art by Mi Ran. She is called Flo. Of course I used my Copic Markers again.

Huid/Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, E13 en E93 voor de wangetjes/ for the cheeks

Haar/Hair: E40, E41, E43, E47

Ogen/Eyes: G43, G46

Jurk/Dress: R22, R24, R27

Boeket/Flowers: Y00, Y02, Y06, YR15, YR16, RV52, RV55, G43, G46

 De klok is gemaakt met een mal van Dutch Doobadoo. De wijzerplaat heb ik gemaakt met Dutch Doobadoo structuur pasta en hierover zijn glitters gestrooid toen de pasta nog nat was. Zo gaat het prachtig glitteren, maar helaas is dat moeilijk op de foto vast te leggen.

The clock shape is made with a template from Dutch Doobadoo, and the numbers are made with the same template and some of their structure paste. While the paste was still wet, I sprinkled some glitter on it. It is really sparkly, but that is hard to capture on photo.

 De sentiment is van een setje van Whimsy stamps. Ik vond dit helemaal bij de prachtige klok passen, tijd om een feestje te vieren. Ik heb de tekst gebruikt om de easel staande te houden, en de bloemetjes dragen hier ook aan bij

The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps, and matched my "time-themed" card perfectly. I used the sentiment to hold up the easel, and the Wild Orchid crafts flowers are helping with that,

Om mijn kaartje helemaal af te werken, heb ik wat kant en lint gebruikt, en aangezien we het hier toch over "tijd" hebben, vond ik de klok charm wel passen.

To finish off my card, I added some ribbon and lace, and added a clock charm

Ik hoop dat jullie het weer leuk vonden, en dat ik jullie weer heb kunnen inspireren.

This was it for today, I hope I was able to inspire you.

The Stamping Chef - Anything goes

Hi all!!

Time for a new week long challenge at The Stamping Chef! This is your chance to win 3 images from The Stamping Chef shop, because our theme is ANYTHING GOES!
Here's what I created

 I made a 13,5cm square card, using some Carte Bella papers. All edges are inked with Distress Ink Vintage Photo, and I really like the look of it.

 The image I used for my card, is called Krissy Kringle. Of course she is from The Stamping Chef, and she can be found here. I used my Copic Markers again to color them, and I used the following.
Skin: E000, E00, E11, E13, and E93 for her cheeks
Hair: E53, E55, E57
Brown areas: E40, E41, E43
Red areas: R35, R46, R59
Green areas: YG93, YG95, YG97

 The gifts are made with a die from Noor!Design, and after cutting and embossing I inked the gifts with the same Distress Ink while they were still in the die.

 My wishlist is made with a stamp from Noor!Design. I stamped it with Stampin Up's Whisper White ink on kraft cardstock, and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

The notebook border, and the vintage border under the red paper are also made with dies dies from Noor!Design.

This was it for today, I hope you all like it! Please pop over to The Stamping Chef and join us!
