Spectrum Noir DT: Making backgrounds

Hi there and welcome to another Spectrum Noir post from me.
Hi allemaal en welkom bij een nieuwe Spectrum Noir post door mij.


On the Spectrum Noir blog you can find the info how I made today's card.
Unfortunately sometimes life isn't easy and you have to send sympathy cards. I always make them when I don't need them, so I can grab one when needed (oh yeah... getting emotional when I have to make one at the moment supreme).
Op het Spectrum Noir blog kun je info vinden hoe ik deze kaart heb gemaakt.
Helaas moet je soms dit soort kaarten maken. Ik maak ze altijd op voorhand, zodat, als ik ze nodig heb, niet overmanteld wordt door emoties en het een lange tijd duurt eer ik er eentje klaar heb.


I made today's card with my Spectrum Noir markers, a die, a stamp and 3 pieces of cardstock (white, grey and black). That's all :)
Here you have it...
Deze kaart heb ik met mijn Spectrum Noir markers, een die, een stempel en 3 stukken cardstock (wit, grijs en zwart) gemaakt. Dat is alles :)
Hierbij mijn kaart...

Thanks so much for coming over!
Please visit the Spectrum Noir blog for mor information how I made this card with the markers.
Bedankt voor het langskomen!
Neem ook een kijkje op het Spectrum Noir blog voor meer info over hoe ik deze kaart heb gemaakt met de markers.

MCM #7 Merry Christmas Monday

Hi there and welcome to another Merry Christmas Monday!


Last week I realized it's less than 6 months before we're in 2013 and had Christmas 2012. Wow! Time's flying by way too fast this year.
But here I am with another Christmas Card for you. Used up some scrappapers and came up with this:

Used 2 different SU stampsets which I looooooooooooove using for my Christmascards and am really glad I bought them a few years ago when they were released.


Thanks so much for coming over and hope to see you later.

Hi there (again :))


Oh, what a lovely, sunny and warm week we had overhere with some major thunderstorms last Fridaynight.
Today is the start of another BasicGrey challenge: Fun in the Sun.
Get your sunny images out and create something with them using BasicGrey items.


Last couple of weeks I received some lovely new items, also these flip-flopdies. Already love them! :)
So I just *had* to use them for this BasicGrey Challenge in combination with the lovely Hello Luscious 6x6 paperpad.

Thank you very much for coming over.
Please visit the BasicGrey challengeblog for more inspiration from the DT and to join us in this Sunny challenge.


See you later and enjoy your Summer! :)

WNW: Red, white and blue

Hi there and welcome to another Wags'nWhiskers Challenge.


Hopefully the American people visiting my humble space in cyberspace had a wonderfull 4th July!


Wow... what a response to the DT-call we had on the challengeblog. Can't wait to work with my new teamies! *whoopwhoop*


Today starts a new challenge: Red, White, Blue. Love this colorcombo a lot, must be the fact I live in The Netherlands and our national flag is red, white and blue :)



Anyways... back to the challenge... here's the card I made:

Stamped the image directly onto my white cardstock and colored her with my Spectrum Noirs, but also paperpieced her skirt and shirt.


Thank you so much for coming over and hope to see you later on. More to come these days, so stay tuned ;)


Oh... and please visit the Wags'nWhiskers challengeblog to participate as well :)

MCM #6 Merry Christmas Monday

Hi there and welcome to another MCM... Merry Christmas Monday.


Today I like to show you a very simple, yet elegant card I made with the lovely PTI stampset "In the Meadow". When there's one stampset I own, getting you into a Christmasmood, I think this is the one.
Wonderfull images and just awesome sentiments.

ABC Challenge: S for Surprise

Please click here for the card I made with one of the Magnolia stamps from the new Summerkit 2012.

Hi there and welcome to another ABC Challenge.
This time we landed at the S for Surprise :)


We are sponsored by the lovely people of Stamp Fairy.


Wanted to make a card, and totally had in mind what I wanted, but then I realised it would be cool to make a small package to give away.
Love the combination of kraft, red and white.


So here is my creation... really simple to make.
Used a diecut, some punches, some stamps and some twine from my shop.

I'm sorry if the picture is crap.
I have a "new" computerscreen and for some reason I can't get my colors right. Ah well... you just have to imagine it's a kraft bag, lovely red-white twine, real read cardstock and ink and a white diecut doily ;)


Thanks so much for coming over. Hope to see you later!


Please visit the ABC Challengeblog for more inspiration and hopefully you can join in the party :)

Tilda with mouse - Magnolia Summer kit 2012

Hi there!!!


You really can't imagine how happy I was when receiving the Magnolia summerkit today! Really didn't expect it already (even though I thought a few weeks back it would be here any day now...).
The kit is full of lovely fall-image stamps and also some other ones.


As I couldn't wait making a card with one of those stamps... I first had to mount them. Did it last evening and just finished my card (it's just over 1.30 am overhere!!).
When mounted all the stamps, I just knew I wanted to use BasicGrey's Mellow papers. It's a really old line, but I totally love those fall colors a lot!
In fact, my fave season has to be fall as I really love all the pretty colors Mother Nature gives us.


Off course I colored the image with my Spectrum Noir markers. Totally love them and they're sooooooooo easy to work with!!


Anyways... back to the card... here it is... Enjoy ;)

Oh, I'm sorry *lol*...hehe... just wanted to tease you all... *smile*


Here's the card :)

Thanks so much for coming over and hope to see you later today for a new ABC Challenge blogpost.

Happy Birthday Rockstar

Hi there and happy Saturday!


Today I participated in the LIM challenge. Love those ones and hope to participate the following weeks as well :)
I was inspired by the colors, musicnotes and swirls as well.


Overhere the weather has been very nice, finally some warmer. While I didn't bother it was colder the last couple of weeks as I love working with lower temperatures a lot better than hot warm weather :)


Anyways... here's my card:

Thanks for coming over and hope to see you later today. Received some lovely items just in my mailbox and can't wait to play with them :)
