Meet Singing Al!

Meet Singing Al, a stamp created by Nutshells!
I just love this stamp and thought it would suit the paper perfectly with the skulls!

It's one of the new stamps Nutshells will be releasing on 6th July!
So you all have to wait a bit, but it's worth waiting, I can tell you! :)

Coloured him with my Copics and man... do I really need to learn much about Copics! Specially making highlights.
But it's getting better each time, so I'm improving myself (but not too fast in my opinion ;))

Stamp: Nutshells (Singing Al); Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned paper: Junkitz; Pens: Copics & Zig; Ink: StazOn; Stickles: Ranger

Thanks for watching again!! :)

I also like to thank you for all your warm and nice comments at my last post... thanks!! You can't believe how much I love feedback and it's pretty strange things you make are loved by other people as well :)

Can't get enough

Off these cute Nutshells stamps!

SummerCoco

There's a challenge over at Nutshell's blog. Go check it out!
The theme is "Make a summer card" and you can win 2 awesome stamps!!

Here's my take on the challenge... it's miss Coco.
I just so love the glasses she has.
Coloured her with my newly bought Copic Ciao-markers. Wow!! I just love the intensity of them. Something completely different than the Derwent Coloursoft pencils.
I just have to practice a bit more, but I already like the way the stamped images came out.
Made this card with a digi-stamp, but the Nutshells are REAL stamps, no digi about it ;)

Go check out the Nutshell's blog this Monday as it will be the release date of the summer themed stamps!

Here's a little preview of my card....



And here's the card in totall...

Stamps: Digistamp by Nutshells; Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned paper: Sassafrass Lass; Flowers: Rayher; Brad: own stash; Baubles: StampingBella; Pen: ZIG; Coloured pens: Copic Ciao

Yesterday, I went shopping in Rotterdam and extended my Copic collection with some new colors. Didn't buy them all, will buy some later this month. You have to spoil yourself every now and then, right??

Also completed my Derwent Coloursoft collection, bought the last pencils I needed and I'm glad I now have them.

Also bought some clothes (really like bargains, like sales with 70% off the original price ;) and a great, and I mean really great diary for next schoolyear. It's the one of "PIP", really cool and sooooooooo love the design. Will make a photo of that one later this week.

Really enjoyed myself, relaxed a lot yesterday and went home with satisfaction.

And tomorrow the real life begins...... have to work, but only 4 more weeks before Summer Holidays starts!! **yahoo**

Loads of things

Loads of things are going on here... working on quite a few cards for people to send and people who asked me to make some for them and other projects.
Nothing to show yet, but will make it up with you this coming weekend :)

And what about a challenge....
Please visit the Nutshells-blog and win some awesome stamps!!

Will be shopping tomorrow and buy myself some new Copic markers. A new addiction is born...hehe... Only kidding, love to colour my stamps with the Derwent pencils, but sometimes I just need a more brighter/intensive colour, and as there's a great offer... can't let it go *lol*
Will also go to the market over there, and they have a great booth with ribbons and laces.
Can't wait... Ow... just realise it's 12.00 am .... oh well.... sleep tight and see you later this weekend...
