Summer songs.

 Hallo allemaal, 

Vandaag is het weer 29 Juni 2025. Alweer een halfjaar voorbij. Tijd gaat snel, veel te snel. 

Het is best wel heet buiten op dit moment en vanaf morgen worden er ook temperaturen verwacht van 35 of meer. Ik blijf wel binnen, maar ja, zou toch naar mijn ouders moeten, voor het warme eten. 

Ik heb de gratis stempel van Sweet November stamps gebruikt en de titel van de digi is: songs of summer heet het geloof ik. Ik heb in haar haar parels in Rood en wit gedaan, zo dat het past bij haar Koraal rode bikini.

Voor de verandering bruin haar gedaan. Doe dit niet zo heel vaak, omdat ik met donker bruin en zwart lastig kleuren vind. Maar het is gelukt. De lijm onder de parels is nu aan het drogen, zodra deze droog is plak ik het plaatje op een linenkarton basiskaart +/-10 x 15 cm.

We tellen de golven, niet de jaren..

Hallo allemaal, 

Dit was mijn laatste kaartje voor Mermay challenge, die vorige maand bij Sweet November stamps liep , elke week heb ik een of twee kaartjes gemaakt met een meermin erop. Dit is de laatste. Van de andere kaartjes heb ik helaas geen foto. Ja geboortekaartje, die komt later van de week online.

 

Ik heb de scene gemaakt in Libreofffice. En uitgeprint op een postkaartje van de Hema. Deze op een kant en klare dubbelgevouwen witte of creme kleurige basiskaart geplaatst. Ik weet helaas niet meer welke kleuren ik nou allemaal gebruikt heb, maar de meermin, octopus en koraalrif zijn allemaal van dezelfde compagnie Sweet November Stamps. Ingekleurd met de Markers van de Action en gebruik gemaakt van de Distress inkt Mermaid lagoon, op de sentimentstrip, zodat het meer een geheel word. Sentiment zelf is geschreven met een zwart balpen.

Double D Challange Spring: Flowers

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.

SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY #301: anything that flies

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.
