Challenge Canary blog

Hi there!

Today's card is to honor the birth of a new blog: Het Canary Blog. We all had the chance of getting this free digi and you have to make a card with it before the end of this month. Not too difficult I should say.

Papers are Marianne Design: Pretty Papers Bloc Dutch Design.

The tulip die is also by her hand.

I coloured with watercolourpencils.

Here's a peek at the inside: the sentiment die is also Marianne Design.

I'm entering the challenge with this card:

Het Canary Blog: make a card with this digital image.

I enjoyed making this one and I hope you like it too :-)

HUGS,

First Christmas card

Hi all bloggers!

I've been making cards for several occations

and today's card is a Christmas card as you can see, duh. My very first one this year, I can do

 without the Christmas stress by making some of the cards in this time of year.

I used a designable from Marianne Design.

I used a stamp I won in August 2010 at LOTV blog. The gold holly berry and

the pointsettia are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The pointsettia was taken apart

and reassembled with white stamens

which I coloured first with Twinkling H2O, Egyptian Gold.
A close up from the little angel:

Isn't she adorable?

Happy Birthday

Hi,

I'd love to show you this card I made for my hubby :).

He has had his b'day and now it is safe to show it to you: I kept it quite simple, as men don't want flowers and other stuff. Why would that be?

I still managed to squeez some pearls and a ribbon in, lol.

Here is a close up:

I coloured her with my watercolourpencils and added some accents with a white gelpen.
Here is a peek at the inside:
The image can be bought here, the DP and the sentiment are by

KennyK's challenge and a faux leather wallet

Hi everyone!

It is faux leather wallet time again! I made this once before for a lady and

this time I made it for a man.

You couldn't have guessed lol! The sexy lady is a KennyK digi
called: Miss Fortune.The ribbon on both sides is actually made from the DP I used inside, so it fits nicely.

She is coloured with my watercolourpencils and

her hair is also covered with Twinkling H2O Egyptian gold.
The DP inside came from DCWV The Natural stack.

The butterflies are made with Photoshop.

I am putting this up for the challange at KennyK's Krafty Girlz, they want an R.

I covered this tag with a background stamp and ship from the same (old) set by Artemio.

Thank you for stopping by and I do enjoy your comments.

Hugs,

25th Birthday, Charlie 007

Hi everyone!

Todays card I made for a guy who looks just like this image lol! The image can be bought over here. It is an oldie but a goodie *smile*.

The ribbon came from Wild Orchid Crafts and I pulled it through a couple of eyelets. The 25, I found in my stash, came from a Starform sheet, for a glitter effect I first placed them on glitterpaper (don't know where that came from) and then cut them.

What you can't see on the picture, is that I got my clear glitterpen from Atyou Spica and did the lapel, the sides of his trousers and his shoes. The car is a die cut sheet and is a Ferrari.
Here is a close up: The DP is Papicolor. The sentiment (below) is Marianne Design.

Thank you for stopping by.

A cheerful card this time. Cheerful because of the colours, red, white, blue and orange, the colours of our flag of The Netherlands. The card is made for someone who lives in Australia for a couple of years, she studies in Melbourne. I figured she needed some national cheering up!!

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:

Birthday wishes

Hi there,

I hope you all started good this year! The wether is cold, can't remember it being so cold and snowy, bbrrr. I don't want to go out, but who is going to do the shopping? That'll be ME.

Today I want to share this giftbox with you, I made for my SIL. I found some green, shiny paper (A4), I got from a no longer existing store, there is no name on them (so sorry) and an empty transparent box. I used this as a template.


The stamps are Magnolia and WOJ (sentiment) some flowers and Martha Stewart (frond) .
Coloured with watercolourpencils. Cut with Cuttlebug and square Nestabilities.
Hope you like it.
Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas cat

Hi to you all,

I'd like to share this card with you.

Sorry, I couldn't see anymore where the DP came from (all choped to pieces, lol), used my Cuttlebugfolder snowflakes and Nestabilities, stickels crystal. I used my watercolourpencils to colour the image, and last but not least ribbon.
Here is a closer peek:
