A sweet hello.

Hello everyone!  

I have made another card for you. This month is Fae-bruary month by Sweet november stamps. I just couldn't help myself not to use this sweetie. I used my markers from Decotime again, to color up this sweet little flower fairy. I just  cannot recall the name of this sweetie. But i was inspired by an older Colorthrowndown challenge colorcombination, from somewhere last year. I think managed it pretty well. And first time I did colored hair. I do mostly Brown or yellow hair sometimes black or grey, but didn't do it in any other color just yet. I think it will fit perfect with her navy blue dress. 

Petal flower: Pale light pink, Blush and Peach
Hair Fairy: Peacock blue, Ice blue & Verona blue
Stam and leaf flower: Dark green & Weeds green
Eyes: Verona blue
Wing: Peach, pale light pink & blender
Heart flower: Canary yellow & Dark yellow
Skin: Tanned skin, Sand, Peach 'n' cream, Salmon & White skin
Shoes: Carmine red, Coral red & Ruby red
Dress: Winter sky, Denim blue dark and Dark denim blue midi ( and white gelpen) 
Grass: Warm weeds green & Dark green
Cheek: Blush

Sentiments are from Hannelie bester aka Dester diva and I have placed them next to the sweet little fairy. For the card base I used a prefolded white carton which is 14,8 x 10,5 cm and placed the A6 size (not sure which size it is in UK and or US) here in the Netherlands. Used clear shimmer waterbrush on the wings, for a little shimmer. Just couldn't help it, not to do it.

 Hello everyone!

Today a sweet card for you. I have created a Valentine's day card for you.

I have used the colors of the color throwdown challenge  which is brown, pink and white. 

I have used a sweet image from sweet November stamps again. Also used my markers for the first time on kraft. I usually use pencils. Though i would give my markers a shot as well. 

I printed off and colored up the image on kraft paper.

Hair: brick brown, warm cacao and rose beige

Skin: tanned skin, warm beige, peach'n' cream, blushed skin

Shirt: white gelpen and pastel pink 

Short: tender pink, pastel pink and vivid pink.

I could not help myself not to use some gold as a warm touch. I have used white basecard, glitter gold paper on top and on that, design paper pink brushstrokes .

I have used a strip of left over white carton and wrote down Happy in black and Valentine's day in red or dark pink. 

The sweet little cupido i glued it Down with 3d foam tape. And the sentiment i used liquid glue. 

The design paper i glued down with double sides tissuetape. 

Sorry that my image is a little blurry.

You should read: Happy Valentine's day. Just in case you are not able to rad it properly.

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.

Hair: Black, Warm grey 9 and 7

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.

Hair: Warm grey 2, 0.5 and blender

Blouse: Warm grey 0.5 and blender

Skirt: black, Warm grey 9 and 6

Shoes: Cool grey 7 and 5

Grass & Eyes: Soft green & Limegreen

Eyelashes: Black fineliner waterproof.
