Digi Haven - Black, White and 1 Color

Hi all!

Time has flown by the last weeks, and it is again time for a new challenge at Digi Haven! This week we have a great theme, use Black, White, and only 1 color! This challenge we are sponsored by Kenny K, how lovely is that! They are offering 3 images of the winners choice! Just click on the banner below to take a look at their shop!

Kenny K also generously provided images to the DT to work with, and this is what I created. I decided to use blue as my other color.

I created a giftcard envelope, with a template from Dutch Doobadoo. The gift envelope itself is made from black card stock.

The image I used is called Let's Party, and can be found here. I used my Copic Markers to color the image, and I used the following markers.
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E13 and R20 for blush.
Hair: C5, C7
Shirt: B95, B97, B99
Pants: C5, C7, 100
I used my Nestabilities Label Four die to cut out the image.

The sentiment is created with Noor!Design Scrabble stamps. I stamped them with white pigment ink and heat embossed them with detail white embossing powder.

The papers I used are by Authentique. Both the ribbon and the buttons are from my stash.

That was it for today, I hope you like it. Now pop over to Digi Haven and join us!

Tadaaaa!! Isn't this adorable? I used a Dutch Doobadoo template for the shape of the outer panels. The papers I used are by Authentique, and all edges are inked with Distress Ink Black Soot.

Love to Create - Vintage Romance

Hi all!

It's Monday again, which means a new weekly challenge at Love to Create! This week we want to see some VINTAGE ROMANCE! Oh la la!
We have 2 amazing sponsors for this challenge, just click on the banners below to go to their shops!
Tsunami Rose is offering a digital kit


Sami Stamps is offering a $12 gift certificate


Both sponsors generously provided materials to work with to the DT, and this is what I came up with.

The papers I used are by Tsunami Rose, from the Mechanical Error journaling kit. You can find the kit here. I used my Tim Holtz distressing tool to all the edges of the papers, and I used some Distress Ink Vintage Photo after distressing.

The image I used is by Sami Stamps. She is called On my Mind, and can be found here. I used my Copic Markers to color the image, and I used the following colors
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E13 and R20 for blush
Hair: E53, E55, E57
Dress: C5, C7, 100
Roses and hearts: R24, R27
The image is cut out by hand and added to a Nestabilities oval die cut.
I used some pearl string around the oval. The flowers I used are by Wild Orchid Crafts. I made the 2 hat pins by myself, to emphasize the vintage look.

The lace I used is really really vintage, I think it's about 40 years old. I used a butterfly punch to make a butterfly, and I added some pearls in the centre with my pearlmaker pen. I also used that pen to add the tiny pearls to the oval. To finish my card I added a charm.

That was it for today, I hope you like it. Please click to go to Love to Create and join us!
