Last Tomic Challenge :(

Hi there!

Right now it's a really sad time, as within a few minutes time the TOMIC Challengeblog will close down :(

Remembers me of February 1996... "And from today... there's no more"...

So sad, but I did try to make a last card for this challenge, a Halloweenone.

Totally love this one!

Off course I colored the image with my Spectrum Noir markers and wow... I totally love their newest storing system! You really should see and have it!!

Anyways...back to topic... here's my card:

Thanks so much for coming over and hope to see you around later on. Thanks! :)



Challenges:
- Tomic: Halloween + bat + purple/orange/black

Basic Grey Challenges: Anything Goes

Hi there and welcome again to my blog :)

This time it's time to reveal what I made for the BasicGrey Challenge: Anything Goes.
I'm still into the Halloween home-decoprojects. I just loooooooove making home-decoprojects, only problem is I don't have a large house, so will be giving this away :)

I wanted to use this cute stamp of Batty Tilda in combination with the Booooo background, so I masked a little, colored a bit here and there, used some BasicGrey Eerie papers from the 6x6 paperpad, altered a black photoframe and.... voila.... here's my project:

And a detailphoto...

Thank you very much for coming over!
I'd like to invite you to play along with this challenge over at the Basic Grey Challengeblog.
There you will also find all the other gorgeous inspiration projects the other members of the DT made and WOW!! They just blew me away and I'm sure they will do the same to you :)

See you later! :)

Hi there and welcome to another Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge :)

And here you have my card:

ABC Challenge B for Boo!

Hi there and welcome to another ABC-Challenge.

WOW!! What a great response we had on the latest challenge.... top entries and it was really hard to make a Top 3. Please visit the ABC Challengeblog to see who will be our GDT in November :)

The challenge for the coming weeks is "B for Boo", so think of Halloween, Spooky, etc. etc.

This time we're sponsored by The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop and they have some awesome stuff for the winner :)


For this challenge I grabbed an "oldie, but goodie"-stamp from StampingBella. It was when I saw the StampingBella's on cards when I knew I had to "have" Copics and right now I can't live without them! :)
I colored the Bella with only a couple of colors, didn't do my "usual" type of coloring (with 3 colors of the same range, to get some shadow etc.).

So here you have my card... it's cute.. it's black... I love it! :)

So what are you waiting for?? Get creating!!
We'd love to visit you and like you to participate. Please visit the blog for more details.

Thank you so much for coming over and see you later! :)

Have you been to the Instyle Stamps blog the past two days?? You may have noticed we're all in the Holiday spirit, bringing you some lovely projects with the stamps which will be released this coming Friday, 16th July!! I really can't wait, as there are so many great stamps that will be there (and already are!!)

Anyways...
Here's my Holiday card for Inspirational Wednesday at the Instyle Stamps blog.
I just loooooooooove making Halloweencards. Unfortunately we don't really celebrate it overhere in The Netherlands as in the USA. People are trying and do their best, but it's nothing like there.
Hmm... I really should book a trip to the USA soon :)

I used Batty Chloe which will be released, like all the other new stamps, this coming Friday, 16th July.

Halloweencard

I just loved last weekend!
I should have had a Tupperwareparty at my place, but due to some circumstances, it didn't work.
So what better way to spend my spare time, than to make some lovely cards.

Here's a Halloween-card I made last Sunday.
Can't tell enough I just love my Copics. Had to practice a lot the last months, but I love them right now!!!

Anyway... will show you more cards the couple of days as I made, loads, and I mean loads, of cards *lol*

Here's the card:

Halloween Copic card

Yeah... Finally I'm used to my Copics. Still difficult to find the right colours for shadowing etc., but think I did a pretty good job on this card...
Practiced a lot, got a lot of papers in the garbagetin... but... I'm going to like them a lot!! Such a bright colours, so vibrant.
Used the same sketch as yesterday's Christmascard. Just loved working with it.

Here's a close-up...
And yes, I noticed the outlined brown after I saw it on my computer. But hee... it's handmade ;)

Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned paper and cardstock stickers: KI Memories; Stamp: Magnolia; Ink: StazOn & ColorBox; Pencils: Derwent; Spiders: Xenos; Ribbon: Stampin'Up

And always handy to have... a moneyholder for all kind of occasions.
