Let's go to the farm

 Hello everyone, 

Today a male birthday card for you. I have used a sweet stamp from Amanda stokes. I really adore this sweet little farmer with his goats. Later this weekend you will see a cute card with tulips on it as well. Cause today it's National Tulips day here in the Netherlands and offficial start of the tulip season. 

I have used my new markers to color up this sweet image. I also used a couple older ones from my stash. 

Hat: walnut, tanned skin & warm beige

Skin: Warm beige, white skin, salmon pink, tanned skin & Peach 'n' skin

Hair: Black, Warm grey 9 and 7

Fur both goats: Warm grey and white skin 

Brown parts fur both goats: Walnut, tanned skin and Grain

Boots: Cardinal red, Carmine red & Ruby red

Handgloves: Carmine red, Bright orange & pastel orange

Shirt: Pastel blue, Baby blue & Frost blue

Gardentrousers: Winterblue sky, Midi jeans blue & Navy blue

The grass is done with pencils I used Dark green, Oxide green & Grass green

For the card base I used cream prefolded cardbases in cream. I stamped with Memento tuxedo black the sentiment, next to the sweet little farmer, so he would look at it, together with his little friend he's holding on his arm. I also put a starpin on his hat, I thought that would be a lovely little touch. Also used liquid pearls as buttons of his rain boots. Used a white gelpen for highlights in the eyes and on their cheecks.

You should read: Wishing you a very happy birthday. I am not sure if it is shown properly, cause i was shakey when I took the image. Sorry about that.

Happy Birthday wishes

 Hello everyone! 

First of all Happy New year to all of my followers. Hope your holidays where awsome. 

Today is a beautiful sunny winterday here in the Netherlands. At least in the little town where I live. There are some clouds, but it's still dry up here. So finaly my solarlamp can re-loading again.  

I have used a sweet image from Alyce Keegan, she's also the owner of Kit & Clowder. Who toucht me how to color in these images. I have used my markers to color up this image. And I wanted to play a long with this weeks Color throwndown challenge. Though it's two weekly now. But that doesn't count I don't wanna play along. I had a little trouble what I should make. So I made a sweet old granny, who's reading Life of Pi? Don't know if that's a book as well. 

I gave her a black skirt, white blouse & light grey hair. For her glasses I used Metallic Silver gelpen, to stay in the mood. Though I had to use skin tones and little bit of green for the grass. I used the same Metallic Silver gelpen to write down Happy Birthday on a black left over watercolor paper. 

I have use clear nailpolish on the glasses, to let it shine. I have used dark grey liquid pearls as buttons of her shoes, blouse and as earrings.
