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.

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

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.

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

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

Skirt: black, Warm grey 9 and 6

Last card for 2024.

 Hello everyone! 

Welcome at my blog. Today I have a card for you that I have made for this weeks Color throwdown challange. Below you see the colors which we wanna see, for this week. onto your project. Neutrals (Black, white, Cream & Kraft are welcome). 

I have used the pastel shades of the colors execpt for the gold of course. More below the image. 


I have used an older stamp which I had in stash and couldn't help it not to use it. I used a sweet raccoon this time. Cause this card is for my little nephew. His birthday is 2nd of January and my own (his aunt) is 4th of January. He's turnin' 9 already! Time flew fast to fast to be honest. 


I have used Decotime stamp and used Memento Tuxedo black ink to stamp this sweet RACOON up. I used Decotime design paper and glitterpaper as well. The stamp is from Decotime as wel, here in the Netherlands and Germany, it was selled by Action. The markers are still selled by Action which are Decotime Alchohol markers. 

Card base is from Avec linen carton in white. The enemal liquid yellow dots (See it as gold) are from action as well. I used it cause, I had a few oopsies. So covered it up with liquid enemal dots.

The Happy birthday stamp I bought at Temu. I pop up the image with foamtape so it has raised up a little bit. I stamped the sentiment also with memento tuxedo black ink on left over Pastel pink carton. Edges of the image I have used Golden yellow for that.

Fur: Warm greys  and blender
Feathers head: Peach pink, Limegreen 
band head: black & metallic gold gelpen
Sweater: Limegreen & Dim spring green
Eyes: Limegreen
Inside ears: Blush and peach

As you see I have used the pastel shades of the two colors. I really love how it turned out. 
The Shimmer you see is Rose Gold metallic foil, that was already on the paper. 

With this I wanna wish all my followers Merry Christmas and a good start of the year 2025. 
 

From today I will take a Christmas & new years break and I hope to see you back on 5th or 6th of January.
