sketch saturday

What a lovely sketch this week!! I used it to make a birthday card for my oldest daughter Myomie. It was her birthday last monday, she is now 9 years old. One more year and she becomes a teenager, god help me!

When I first started coloring her (isn't she cute, from lily of the valley) I thought it was going to be completely wrong. The colors I used together were not really what I wanted, but when I started to use the prismacolors and it turned out a lot better. Then when I put the whole card together, it just all came together and I fell in love with it :)

Hot

Wasn't it just hot yesterday?? The weather is doing my head in really, hot, cold, rain, hot again ... it's not very good for my state of mind. Anyways, yesterday was a really hot day, and eventhough the kids were gone to Granny, I just layed on the sofa and watched tv. No crafting for me in this weather. I even wore a dress, and that's a miracle on it's own!!
To celebrate the heat, here is a x-mas card I made a few weeks ago hahaha :)

A combination of different stamp brands, that created a cute little scene. The scroll I made, I actually set on fire. Well, not fully on fire, but did the edges with a lighter. I love the smell of burning paper.
Tilda is colored with Promarkers and prismacolors.

sketch saturday

Here is me card for the Sketch Saturday Challenge. I made the card actually last saturday, straight after I saw the sketch. But then doom struck, and my pc went to pc heaven. Well, to me it did, as it was making a LOT of beeping noises, and that was all it did. Yesterday my lovely boyfriend found the problem, and hurrah, it's working again *knock on wood*.
I made the card for my youngest daughter. It's her birthday this coming saturday, so it was a two in one bonus :)

I really wanted to use this Tilda image, but as all Tilda's, they can be on the large side for certain cards. What I did was, I got the image, put it on my scanner, and then made a copy but resized her to 75%. That made her perfect for the nestie I wanted to use :)
She is colored with Promarkers and Prismacolors. I started to make a colorbook, where I write down the colors I used for my cards. Since there are a lot of colors in her dress, and they are long words to write, and not just some numbers like copics or Spectrum Noir, I wont bore you with the list. If you wanna know what colors I used, send an email :)

Not one of the best

Sometimes you make a card, and you think to yourself, OK, who can I send this too, who won't really notice that it's a rubbish card. This is one of those cards.
When my mum was here, she brought one of her new spellbinder dies, and I came up with an idea with one of the dies. The idea was good, the end result was clearly less!! hahahahaha :)

Back

Yes, we are back again from our 2 week holiday in Holland. Stayed at my mums house, but this time not a lot of crafting was done. That's ok, we had a lovely time with the kids! And now it's back to "normal" life with all the cleaning and cooking etc.
I did buy some new craftstuff in Holland, and I am looking forward to play with it :) I need to unpack one more suitcase and then the table is mine again hahaha!!
For now, a card I made a while back :)

I used one of the bigger nestie dies I have to create an easel card. Colored this lovely girl with Promarkers and Prismacolors. I love her colors, she is so 70's :)
