Boys and toys

Hi everyone,

Here is a baby boy card and, as you can see, it is going to be a boy! Nowadays, parents know in advance what the gender of their unborn baby is (if they want to know) , before it is born.

No surprices anymore!

In my time there was no such thing, than again I didn't want to know.

Back to the card:

I made my own background! Loved that little car.

Here a peek on the inside:

I used my Nestabilities to cut out a stamp from Eline's Toddlers (Marianne Design) and it comes with the two little stamps, the car and the building blocks, watercolourpencils to colour it. Darkblue ribbon and a brad in each corner. The inside is stamped also with a Marianne design stamp and the little car was used for the background.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hugs,

Sketch Saturday

Hello,

Hope you have a wonderful day, today.Yesterday I learned that a friend of mine delivered a newborn into this world.

So I had to make a babycard for a girl.

Just love doing that, all that pink, yammie!

I saw this at Sketch Saturday and this is what I came up with.

I used a pretty stamp of Marianne Design: Eline's Toddler and the sentiments inside the card are also made by Marianne Design, the DP came from a lowbudget store (Wibra, in the Netherlands), I used my Nestabilities label 4, can you tell I just love this label? LOL. I used my watercolourpencils for some colour.

Here is the inside:

Thank you for stopping by!

Penny Black cat!

Hi everyone,

This time I want to show you this cute stamp of Penny Black. I had already seen it on the net, but didn't have the chance to buy it. As I was in Utrecht I saw it again and I thought now it is mine *smile*.

I made my own background with a stamp from a set: Ready to Stamp. It's just one pawprint, I inkted it up with purple from my colourbox. Loved doing that, create your own background I mean.

Close up:

Coloured with my watercolourpencils, using Nestabilities some ribbon, Martha Stewart and a flower.

I did the inside too, but forgot to make a picture, the card has already been sent to another lady who had her birthday.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I posted. I have had a lot to do. Also I've been to a creative convention (KreaDoe) in Utrecht, The Netherlands, twice!! I bought a lot of stamps and so helped the economy on its way LOL.

I entered a couple of candy's and won two stamps. Thanks again Bev and Annette

This card I made is for a lovely lady, she had her birthday last friday.

Here is a close up:

You can see Martha Stewart, Nestabillities and some adhesive stones and pearls.

Here's a peek inside:

I coloured as usual with my watercolourpencils.

The stamp is from Marianne Design.

Thank you for stopping by!

Inspired by Bev

Hi everyone,

The other day I was surfing on the net and I saw this incredible beautiful card at Bev's and I thought: This one doesn't seem too hard to make.

So, this is what I came up with:

Here is a close up:

The fur is "coloured" with a Spica clear pen, the snowflakepunches are covered with Stickles and pierced with a brad.
It took me longer than I thought it would, but now that it's finished, it is worth it!

I want to thank Bev for her inspiration.

I used:

CS, tranparantpaper by Ursus(snowflakes),

Stamp: Sugar Nellie Miss Clause

Martha Steward: snowflake

Cuttlebug: die oval & round and

embossingfolder snowflakes.

Stickles icecle and Spica pen clear, some ribbon and snowflakebrads from stock.

Coloured with watercolourpencils
