Butterfly kisses & birthday wishes

 Hello everyone, 

It's been a while I have place something here. I am pretty busy at moment. And to be honest I have an art block as well. Though Now the weather is getting better here in the Netherlands again, I am inspired by the nature is given us. 

I have seen beautiful Butterflies again, so I thought I would do something with that. Butterflies are for me a sign of Spring, to behonest. And Daffodills too, to be honest. 

I have used the sweet november stamps digital image Bindi time around, but only the butterflies. I drew in a circle and colored it in with a pastel yellow marker. See this as the sun.

The left butterflies: Cream, buttercup yellow & Blender

The right butterflies: Powder pink, Salmon pink & Blender

On all butterflies I drew in a dot on their wings. I made a Happy birthday card out of it. And the sentiment is from Hannelie Bester. I also used liquid glue to glue down the rhinestones, I have chosen for Pastel orange this time around and use 6 of them. 

I re-wrote the sentiment with a black waterproof fineliner from Stabilo. Same count for the circle between the butterflies.

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.

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.

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

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.
