Bokeh techniek

Voor de verjaardagskaart voor m'n mama (in maart al hoor) probeerde ik voor de eerste keer de bokeh techniek.  Heel erg leuk, niet moeilijk en m'n mama was er heel blij mee!

Orange #5

This is a card I'm very pleased about :)  I absolutely love this La Blanche stamp, but I don't think I've used it before.  Because I didn't want it to become to busy,  I only colourd the flowers with distress markers.  The background is an Aladine stamp (mariage set),  stamped with Versamark.  The sentiment is from the Crafty Secrets set 'Glamour Girls'.

Birthday card

I started this card a while ago for a Sugar Bowl challenge, but didn't finish in time. It was just laying in my cupboard until last weekend when I finally glued it together and added the sentiment: it's YOUR birthday. I've used Basic Grey Wisteria papers (I think this is my favorite collection ever) and coloured the image with Copics. Her hair and the lovely dress make it a really nice image to colour and experiment with shadows. I'm actually very proud of this result!

Sugar Bowl Challenge 83

I really can't choose between cute stamps and other stamps. Just look at this fantastic Sugar Nellie stamp! I've made this card to enter Sugar Bowl's Challenge 83: I've turned the sketch around and made it rectangle, but I hope you can recognise it. I've used K&Company papers from the Lotus collection.

The Sugar Bowl Challenge 62

http://sugarbowlblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/challenge-62-marlenes-sketch.html
For this card I've used a card kit I won on Erica's blog (www.scrapaliciouscards.blogspot.com) during a Simply Sassy bloghop. I love the Sugar Nellie stamp 'Laid back dude', Basic Grey Marjolaine papers and some embellishments. I usualy find it difficult to create cards for males, but it's a great kit for these. I've added some buttons, papers and a Penny Black sentiment stamp.

Cute Card Thursday Challenge

http://cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/2011/03/challenge-157-sketch-by-deb.html It's been a while since I entered a challenge, but I thought this sketch was really great, so I had to give it a go. I turned it upside down as this fits better with the direction the girl is looking at. I coloured the image with copics, but I still have a lot to learn. I think shadows are so difficult

The Sugar Bowl Challenge 53

http://sugarbowlblog.blogspot.com/

I think this is my first entry in the Sugar Bowl challenge. I just had to ink my new stamp! I absolutely love this 'pillow talk', but it was quite difficult to colour it nicely. My first two attempts went completely wrong with the shadow on the dress. The third time, her hair was way to dark. The fourth time I was happy with the result, but the blue didn't match with the patterned paper I had chosen. So this is the fifth image that made it on my card :) I'm happy with the result and would like to hear your idea about it!

My supplies:
- Sugar Nellie 'Pillow Talk' stamp
- Marianne Design 'Eline's Vintage' sentiment stamp (it says "it's your birthday" in Dutch)
- Cricut Mini Monograms cartridge
- Basic Grey Wisteria patterned papers (leftovers from this layout)
- Flowers: don't remember where I bought these
- Copic markers: skin: E50-E51-E93; hair: E31-E33-E35-E37; dress: B60-B63; pillow: Y21-Y28-YG91

Charisma Cardz Challenge: teddy bears

http://charismacardz.blogspot.com/2010/08/challenge-31-teddy-bears.html

It's been a while, but it seems I found my mojo back! I already created a card with gift holder yesterday, but I'll show it later. I don't know for which occasion I'll use it yet, and it still needs some finishing stamping. This is my second creation in my vacation: a birthday card with a special fold. I really like how it turned out. I use aquarel pencils for the colouring and I'm starting to like this more and more. I want to enter this card in the Charisma Cards Challenge for this week, which is Teddy Bears. I love this Popcorn stamp, although it's quite big and there's no space left for embellishements.

I don't have a lot of House Mouse stamps (yet), but this one is perfect for this week's theme: SWEET. I used a Mojo Monday sketch, so it went pretty quick. I'm happy with the result and I hope this gives me inspiration for the rest of the weekend.

Kimmie challenged us today to create a card based on the sketch of her's, and to use dry embossing.

I've combined 2 challenges in this birthday card:
http://kraftinkimmieskorner.blogspot.com/2009/02/kraftin-kimmies-birthday-celebrations.html: for today's challenge your card must be a birthday card and it must have some purple on it somewhere!!
=> Not really a colour I use a lot on my cards, but I found this nice paper in my scraps and based my card on this.

=> Beautiful sketch, I only changed the size of the card because in Belgium we have to pay double to send square cards

Verjaardagskaart

Gisteren verjaarde mijn jongste zus, en ik heb voor het eerst een gestempelde kaart voor haar gemaakt. Ik heb het idee gescraplift, maar ik weet niet meer waar ik het origineel gezien hebt. Dus als iemand het weet, wil je me de link dan doorgeven zodat ik hem er bij kan zetten.
