Art by Mi Ran - Happy Birthday

Hi all!

Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas with those you love! I spent Christmas with my hubby and daughter and we visited my parents, so it was really lovely.

Today is my turn to host the Art by Mi Ran Showcase blog, and after all the Christmas and Winter themed card I thought it's time to go bright and colorful!

 I made a pretty big card this time! Usually my cards are 5,5 inch square, but since I was desperate to use the Dutch Doobadoo Polaroid frame, I made a 6 inch square card.

The papers I used are by Authentique. All edges of the papers are inked with Distress Ink Walnut Stain.

 The image I used is called Tulipa, and I absolutely love her! I used my Copic Markers again to color the image, and I used the following markers:

Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, E13 and E93 and E95 for the blush and lips.

Hair and tulips: V000, V12, V15, V17

Clothes and background flowers: BV31, BV34

Eyes, leaf and stems: YG93, YG95, YG97

The green pearls in the background are made with a kiwi colored pearl maker pen.

 The bow is made with some lace from my stash, and I added a big gem from Wild Orchid Crafts to the center.

 The sentiment is in Dutch, and says Congratulations. It was a gold peel off sticker, but I used a blac Sharpie pen to color it black.

All flowers are by Wild Orchid Crafts, except from the purple felt ones. I made them myself with a Marianne design die and some purple felt.

This was it for today, I hope you like it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and I would love you to leave a comment :)

Hugs, Sandra

Copic Marker Benelux - Happy Birthday!

Hallo allemaal,

Het was gisteren mijn beurt om wat te laten zien op het Copic Marker Benelux blog.

Ik weet niet hoe het bij jullie zit, maar ik heb de afgelopen tijd zo ontzettend veel kerstkaarten gemaakt, dat ik ze niet meer kan zien. 

Nou ja, zien is niet helemaal waar, maar ik moet er niet aan denken om er nog meer te maken.

Ik verlang naar het voorjaar, dus ik heb vandaag een vrolijke, pastelkleurige kaart om met jullie te delen.

 Ik heb een paperpad van Teresa Collins gebruikt, wat een prachtige kleurtjes zitten hierin zeg! Daarnaast heb ik diverse stansjes gebruikt om mijn kaart te versieren

 De stempel die ik heb gebruikt is van Little Darlings Rubber Stamps, en deze dame heet Yuki.

Ik heb natuurlijk mijn Copic Markers gebruikt om haar te kleuren, en wel de volgende

Huid: E000, E00, E11, E13 en E93 voor de wangetjes en lippen

Haar en ogen: E53, E55, E57

Jurk: RV91, RV93, RV95, RV99, W000, W0, W2, W5

De bloemetjes die ik heb gebruikt zijn van Wild Orchid Crafts.

Dit was het weer voor vandaag, ik hoop dat ik jullie heb kunnen inspireren!

Liefs, 

Sandra

The Stamping Chef - Anything Goes

Hi all!!

It is time for a brand new challenge at The Stamping Chef! As always our theme is Anything Goes, and I have a very special project to share with you all!!

Last Monday was my daughter's FIRST birthday! The image I used to make her invitations, is drawn by Tamara, and she designed it especially for my daughter! I am so proud about it, and that is why I wanted to share this with you all!

 The papers I used to create my card are by Basic Grey, Olivia collection. I am also planning on making a mini album from the birthday party, and I will use the same paper collection for it.

 The image is called Happy Birthday Tess. She isn't available at the shop, because she is especially designed for me, but there are tons and tons of other lovely images for sale at The Stamping Chef.

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

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

Hair: E51, E53, E55

Eyes: YG95, YG97

Shirt: RV21, RV23, RV25, RV29

Dress: B91, B93, B95, B97, B99

I used my circle and scalloped circle Nestabilities die to cut out the image.

 The balloon is made with a die from Marianne Design, and I punched a 1 with an old number punch.

 The gifts are made with dies from Noor Design, and I used Distress Ink VIntage Photo to ink the embossed parts.

The inside is stamped with a set from Noor Design, and is perfect to make invitations with. 

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

Hugs, Sandra
