Be Merry be Bright

Hello everyone.
Today's card is a Christmas card, yep I made a start with them because, like everybody else, I hate the stress at the end of November.

I inked Henry with Stazon ink, coloured with watercolourpencils and waterbrush.
The DP is Sandylion (very old). Stamped my own backgroundpaper with a large snowflake by differentcolors , The sentiment is by Studio G, liquid pearls by Stickles, rhinestones and some ribbon by Wild Orchid Crafts .

A closer look:

The inside:

I punched 2 snowflakes with my MS punch, cut them to pieces and glued them to the back:

The sentiment at the inside is by Penny Black.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and hope you enjoyed your stay with me.

Hugs,

You are in my heart and thoughts

Hi there!
Finally a post! Things have been quit busy in my household. 2 extra cats, they are adorable if they are asleep, lol.
On to this card: It's my first attempt to an easel card. I think I will make more of these. I think I have grown an addiction to easel cards, :).
I've used the Pretty PaperBloc named Springtime by Marianne Design.
It looks as if I've used 2 different papers, but it is only one!

I made the little swirls myself.
Here is a closer look, I coloured with my favorite watercolourpencils and waterbrush:

Today's card is for my daughter's birthday, 23 years of age. I asked her if she mind to get one in mainly pink. She didn't mind, but I know it is not her favorite colour. So when that was said, I could go to work.

The flowers are by Wild Orchid Crafts, the big white tearose is stickled at the edges with babypink, so it looks a little pink. Under the closed rosebuds is a metal flower, to brighten them up a little bit, bought them at De Creatieve Vlinder as well as the heartcharm.

Just wanted you to see the image a little closer :),

so you can see the stickels I put at the bow of her hat:

Here is a peek at the inside:

I am also entering this card for the Simons Says Stamp Challenge this week:

Birthday card by Sylvia

Hi everyone!
Today's card is NOT made by me but I wanted to show it anyhow, lol.
It is made by my son's girlfriend and she made it for my daughter, who is going on holiday to America this year. With her permission I post this on my blog so you all can see her really good work of art( I must encourage her to start her own blog!)
A closer look:

An inside peek:

I know she used Shopping Willow by Whiff of Joy, the sentiment is by Marianne Design, an embossingfolder, some lace (in the shoppingbags). I don't know the DP, coloured with Derwent pencils.

Spring!!
