Happy Birthday Dragon

Yippee, my Mom is out of the hospital!! Finally after 9 weeks, she is now in rehab hospital and she is doing fine :D. I finally got some time for crafting woohoo!!

The card I'm showing is made for our son. As he likes Japan so much I thought he might like a dragon. I had some fabric (I bought it ages ago)with the image which I put on doublesided glue foil and cut the image. After that I just put it on the card which is black and some gold paper on top and black again on the gold paper. I made the eyes pop with some gold coloured rhinestones.

Quit simple actually, but perfect for men.

As you can see the colour black isn't black on every picture!! It was hard to capture the colour.

A close up:

And a peek on the inside: this time the colour gold is more like the real colour!

The branch is a Marianne Design die and the sentiment was stamped with Versamark and covered with gold embossing powder, than heated with my heating tool.

I hope you like what you see.

Thank you for stopping by!

Snoesje stamp in purple

Hello blog followers and all other bloggers who stumbled across my blog :-)

Today I want to show you a card with a Snoesje stamp.

The layout came from the book: Snoesjes van kaarten (cards with Snoesjes).

This card is purple not blueish! Apparently cameras can't register purple as I've seen this happen before on other blogs.

I coloured her with my watercolourpencils.

A close up: A close up of the bow and flower: Card recipe: CS: Colorcore, stamp: Snoesje with kitten, DP: Pretty Paper Bloc Sweet Papers, Creatables swirl, Designables, Swiss dots embossingfolder, McGill branche punch, rosebuds from WOC, ribbonroses from Action (a Dutch low budget store), ribbon and rhinestones from stash.

Thanks for stopping by!

Challenge at KennyK

Todays card is made with a freebie from KennyK's downloads I got a while back. It can't be purchased so it's kind of a rare one! And I am lucky to have it :). She is called Anime Girl. I coloured her with my watercolourpencils.

A close up:

I used Japanese papers Fold'ems origamipaper, gorgeous papers to work with. The paper has a soft touch and the package has several designs.

The leaves are a die from Marianne Design.

The butterfly is a punch by Martha Stewart, some rhinestones and a piece of ribbon

As I don't know yet whom this card is for, I left the sentiment out.

I enter this card for the challenge at KennyK's Krafty Girlz which is

Pretty in pink.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

If you leave me a comment I will come and visit your blog.

Simon Says Girly

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:

Dustin, Delia and a Challange

Hi everyone!
Today I want to share a card I made for a special little lady: Delia.
Two weeks ago I saw a call for a card at Dustin Pike's blog. If you would like to join in, you can read all about it on Dustin Pike's site.
Yesterday my card was finished and I've put it in the mailbox. I wonder how long it will be on its way ... ah well, we'll see.
So here it is:


Here is a close-up of the owl, which is so beautifully drawn and given for free by Dustin. Thank you Dustin, you are an artist with a great heart!



I also entered the challenge of: Just Christmas and Birthday Cards by using the sketch, rotated.

I hope you enjoyed your stay at my little space. Great weekend to you all!

Challanges

Hi,
This time again a card inspired by Bev. I saw this a while ago on her blog and I thought maybe I 'll give it a go. And it fits two challanges: at PaperPlay Challanges: Precious Metals (the butterfly) and at Papertake Weekly : New Beginnings (adding my first charm ever).

I had some white flowers and wanted them a little red(cause I didn't have any red), took one of my few Copic's and coloured the edges a little red. I think they look good. I added a little stickles in the centre, as you can see here:

I also added a charm, my first ever! It took me a while to figure it out and I did, so in future I will use charms more often.

Here is a closer look at Willow:

DP: Doodlebug design inc.
Stamp: WOJ
Punch: Martha Stewart, edge and frond
Charm came from Cute Stamps and Cards
Ribbon, flowers and adhesive stone from my stash.

I hope you enjoyed your stay at my blog and are willing to leave me a comment!
