Art by Mi Ran - Kisses

Hi all!

Today is my turn to host the Art by Mi Ran blog, and today I am sharing a Valentine's card.

 The papers I used for this card are from Authentique, Smitten collection. I inked all the edges with Distress Ink Vintage Photo.

 The image I used is called Lovely Lila, and isn't she just adorable? I used my trusted and beloved Copic Markers to color her, and I used the following.

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E13

Blush: E93, E95

Hair: E23, E25, E27

Dress: W00, W0, W2, W5

Eyes: B12, B24, B18

Pink: R81, R83, R85

Rewd: R24, R46, R89

I used a white gel pen to add some white dots to all the red areas.

The sentiment I used was a teeny tiny clear stamp from Studio Light. I also added a doily, and I made that with a die from Tim Holtz. The flowers I used to finish off my card are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

This was it for now, I hope you like it. There will be another card on my blog in a few hours, so stay tuned!

Hugs, Sandra

CreaMiep - Kerstgroetjes van ons

Hoi allemaal!

Vandaag is het mijn beurt op het blog van CreaMiep. Ik zit met mijn hoofd helemaal in de kerstsferen, dus ik hoefde ook niet na te denken wat het thema van mijn projectje zou worden.

 Dit keer heb ik ervoor gekozen om een kraft tasje te pimpen, met wat papier uit mijn eigen voorraad. Ik heb alle randjes aangezet met Distress Ink Vintage Photo. 

De witte achtergrond is een vel cardstock, waar ik een winterse rand op heb gestempeld. Ik heb hiervoor Memento Toffee Crunch inkt gebruikt. 

 De stempel die ik heb gebruikt, is van Wee Stamps. Dit leuke meisje is ingekleurd met alcoholmarkers, die matchen bij het papier dat ik heb gebruikt. Ik heb haar met Memento Tuxedo black inkt op DCP papier gestempeld.

 De tekst stempel komt uit de najaarsset van CreaMiep, en is gestempeld met Memento Tuxedo black inkt.

Om mijn kaart af te werken, heb ik verschillende bloemen gebruikt, Cherry Blossom, Roosjes 15mm en Sweetheart flowers.

Dit was het weer voor vandaag, ik hoop dat jullie het leuk vonden!

Liefs, Sandra

Good luck in your new home!

Hi all!!

One of my hubby's coworkers has recently moved into his new house, so I made him a card! This whole card was inspired from a card I saw on Pinterest, and guess what, I didn't pin it, so I can't give credit... I am so sorry, but I want to thank the woman who made it for the idea <3 p="">

 This isn't actually a card, but it is an envelope, made with a template from Dutch Doobadoo. I used some kraft cardstok to create the envelope. The papers I used are all leftover scraps from a paperpad from Authentique.

 The image I used is from Dr. Digi, he is called Dunderton Decorators Ltd. Perfect for this card! I used my Copic Markers to color him, and I used the following markers.

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E13

Shirt, moustache, paint can and paint roller: C00, C0, C2, C5

Dungarees: YG91, YG93, YG95, YG97

Paint: V12, V15, V17

Shoes: E23, E25, E27

I also used Glossy Accents on his glasses, but that is kind of hard to see on this pic. 

 I also used the Paint can and Paint roller images from Dr Digi, and they are colored in the same colors as the main image.

The sentiment I used is from a set from Nicole Verkooijen, and says Good luck on your new home. 

This is the insert for the envelope. I used the green paper as a belly band, and I inserted a gift card as a present.

This was it for today, I hope you like it!

Slinky Tart - Smoking Hot!

Hi all!

I am here to share a new Slinky Tart project with you all! This weeks post is the last one before summer break, since we all deserve one.

When I picked my image, I wasn't quite sure what make with her, but I picked her, because I just love her! And while I was coloring I found a stamp set with the sentiment that was perfect for her, and after coloring it hit me. Why not use it in combination with candles? Why not make a candle box? Duh! So here it is!

 I designed the box myself, nothing fancy. It looks like a little pizza box. I measured the width of 3 candles, and the height of the candles, and make a little box with those measurements. The box is 12,5cm square, and 1,5 cm in  height.

 The patterned paper I used is from Authentique, Careful collection. I inked the edges with Distress Ink Walnut Stain 

 The image I used is called Smoking Hot! and she is colored with my Copic Markers. I used the following markers.

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E13

Hair: E02, E08, E09, E18

Eyes: YG93, YG95

Red: R35, R46, R59

White: C00, C0, C2, C5

The sentiment is from a set from Noor Design, and is in Dutch. It says Fire caution! 50 candles this year! Rather fitting fot this image, huh? 

This was it for today, I hope you all liked it!

Hugs, Sandra

Art by Mi Ran - Monochromatic

Hi all!

Hope you had a great Easter!! Mine was great, filled with family, and lots and lots of chocolate!

Today is my turn to host the Art by Mi Ran blog, and our theme for this month is Monochromatic. Usually when doing monochromatic cards, I stick with sepia tones, but this time I went out of the box, and did it in RED!!!

 I made a 6 inch square card, using some lovely red Authentique papers. No inking this time, because I didn't like the look from red Distress Ink on it.

 The image I used is called Rose and Girl, and you can find her here. I used the following Copic Markers to color her.

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E13

Blush and lips: R20, R22

Hair: E13, E08, E09, E18

Eyes: E08, E09

Dress and roses: R35, R46, R59

Trim: R00, R02, R05

I used several different Wild Orchid Crafts flowers to finish off my card, and I also added some flatbacked pearls in the two other corners. I tied a bow using some red ribbon from my stash, and my card was finished!!

This was it for today, I hope you all like it! 

Hugs, Sandra

The paper I used is from Authentique, and it reminded me of an apron, so it goes very well with this image.

 The image I used is called Culinary Claire 2.0 and I used the following Copic Markers to color her.

Love to Create - Color Challenge

Hi all!!

Welcome to a brand new challenge at Love to Create! This week we have a color inspiration challenge! Our sponsor for this week is Sami Stamps, and they are offering a $12 gift certificate to the winner! Isn't that great? Just click on the banner below to visit the shop.


And now on to the challenge, here is our color inspiration picture!


And here is what I made for you all!

 I made a little gift box with my Envelope Punch Board. It was the first time I ever used the board, but it was so easy! The only drawback for me is that the scoreline is on the right, and that is not easy being a lefty... But it worked!

 The image I used is called Butterfly Kisses. The image can be found here. I used my Copic Markers again to color the image, and I used the following
Cat: E23, E25, E27
Butterfly: R22, R24
Feathers: R56, R59

 And here is the back of the box. The papers I used to decorate it are by Authentique, and they match perfect to our color challenge.

I used some velcro to close the box. I am going to fill this box with liquorice, and give it to a sweet friend of mine who is going to Malta for 6 months.

This was it for today, I hope you like it! Please pop over to Love to Create and join us!
