Magnolia in a different way

For this weeks Create4fun sketch challenge i decided to do something completely different and i am not sure wether i like it or not. I don't dislike it that's for sure. I stamped my Magnolia image with white ink from Elzybells on kraft cardstock. Let it dry and then coloured it in with my colour pencils and odorless spirits, it's been a very long time since i used them. I added black pearls for her eyes and gave her flowers and hair a stickles attack. As you can see from the above shown picture i also decoreated the inside.

Tuesdays ASFOS Challenge

This weeks chalenge is all about monochrome colours, not such an easy task and also not easy to take a picture of the card cause in real it's a bit more darker and browny so to speak. I like it better in real then on this photo. I did only use designpaper for the punched out hearts and other then that it's ony cardstock. I also used my new Martha Stewart edge punch Lattice Heart. I followed a sketch from sketch saturday the one from 7th nov. Really like dit but saw no chance to make a card with it earlier.

ASFOS Challenge

This weeks challenge is all about a non traditional coloured Xmas card. So no greens and reds. Well the christmas papers i have got are mostly traditional and do contain reds and greens. So i went with papers from My Minds Eye Be Loved. The image used is one from Inger Harding and she made it herself and offers it as a free digi. Here's were you can get yours. I coloured the image with copic markers and also on the inside of the card i made a hard just like the one the girl in the image has in her hand. Forgot to take the picture of it. Don't know but feels like i could add something more to the card but just can't decide how or what.

This is it for me today. Hope you join us for this weeks challenge!!!
Thanks for stopping by.

Angel Face

My card for the Create4fun challenge of this week. I was too late submitting my card so i show you mine here. I used for my card a digital stamp by Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed it with my inkjet printer and i have no problem colouring it with my copic markers but i also used stickles Star dust and that was not such a good idea cause it made the inkt bleed a little but no real damage was done and the card can still be used. The design paper i used is by DCWV called Nursery. I distressed the edges with Tim Holtz Paper Distresser. The flowers are from Prima Marketing.


I also decorated the inside of the card.

Belles 'n Whistles Hearty Thanksgiving

It's almost the end of october and that means dat my job as guest designer for october for Bunny Zoe's Craft is almost over. Sadly enough but all good things must come to an end at some point. Really enjoyed my GDT ship and Nikki runs a great online store. I made this last card as GDT with a stamp by Belles 'n Whistles and the stamp is called Hearty Thanksgiving and you can get it over at Bunny Zoe's Crafts with a 25% off. So if you really like this cute stamp then hop on over to Bunny Zoe's Craft store and make sure you get yours. The design paper i have used comes from K & Company Classic K Bailey. The flowers are by Prima Marketing and the sentiments come from a Stampin Up set and Stampendous Ziggy set. Have to tell that when i added the thanks sentiment above the image i wanted to stamp it a little higher but i forgot to use my Stamp-a-ma-jig then i would have gotten it exactly right. Colouring as usual is done with Copic markers.

Sugarplums Cow Emma

Made another GDT card for Bunny Zoe's Crafts. Made this Halloween theme card. I am not all that happy about my colouring this time. I used my old papers to colour on from Canson Illustration and i have gotten so used to DCP papers by Clairefontaine that i use all the time. Just need to use Canson a little bit more every now and then, cause if you want to be good in colouring with copics then you need to be able to use it on different kinds of papers. That's what i believe anyways. I didn't search for my jump rings but i think that attaching it like i did with a brad to the flower is a nice alternative.

Alrighty the following is what i used to make the card:

- Stamp: Sugarplums Cow Emma
- Papers: Little Yellow Bicycle "Frightful"
- Embellishments: Pumkin charm, flowers
- Tools: Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher.

Once again thank you for stopping by!!!!

This week's prize is the Clear Stamp Licorice from Penny Black.
The stamp i used on this card is called Petunia and she's from Stamps Happen and i love how there's a little story on the side of the stamp. This one says:

Petunia's job is to keep the garden clean and pretty.

I used digital design paper from Hand Making Cards called Funky Christmas. Prima Marketing Say It In Crystals Swirl Black. Mcgill punch called
Starburst. Martha Stewart loop punch. Charm brads and the ribbon comes from the market. Colouring is done with Copic sketch markers and on her wings i put some stickles called Star Dust. I have to saý i don't think it's a bad card but i don't like it all that much. I wanted to take the swirls off but it would ruine paper so i let it stay on. Thanks for stopping by and have fun joining this weeks challenge. Cause even if you don't win you're never left empty handed.

Waves

I was too late for the Magnolia challenge from last week because i wanted to use swimming Tilda and my new Fiskars punch Boundary waters which came today. The design paper i have used is from Sassafras Serendipity "Sweet Skully". I coloured with Copic Sketch markers. Used flowers from Primamarketing, brads i think were from making memories but not sure. The rhinestones comes from Create4fun shop.

This is the inside of the card. I used the same tilda as on the front of the card and i coloured her with the exact same colours as the one on the front.
