Christmas Cards {with Sketches} #51

Hi there and welcome to another Christmas Cards {with Sketches}  Challenge.

It's already our 51st challenge!
This week the sketch is made by Nicolet and I soooooooooo love this sketch! Will defenately use it for a non-Christmas/Wintercard as well.

We're sponsored by Alotta Rubberstamps and we all got a nice image to play with.

But without rambling too much... here's my card:

Off course my image has been colored with the Spectrum Noir markers.
Colors I used are:
Blue: TB1, TB2, TB3
Grey/brown: BG1, BG2, BG3
Carrot: OR1 and BG1
Shadow: BT1, BT2

Now it's up to you to play with us.
Just visit the CCWS-blog for more inspiration and hopefully you're able to join us this week.

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

Christmas Cards {with sketches} #29

Hi there and welcome to another CCWS-challenge.

We decided the time is right to have challenges EVERY WEEK *whoopwhoop!!*
The team is devided into 2 groups and I'm a "Snow Angel"... how appropriate, isn't it :)
This week it's the Snow Angels' turn for the challenge and next week the other group... and in 2 weeks time, there's another post of the Snow Angels.

This week's sketch is made by Claire and we're sponsored by KreaTeja.
There's also a twist to it... No red or green, so I made this card a "winter-themed".
Off course I colored the image with my Spectrum Noir markers. I totally love them!!

Thanks so much for coming over. Hope to see you at the CCWS-blog with your creation as well :)

BasicGrey challenge: A sketch

Hi there!

It's time for another challenge at the BasicGrey Challenges blog. This time Heather made a sketch for us to follow. I turned it.
I wanted to make a Christmascard as it's "just" around the corner, only 5 more months before the tree will be here in my house with all the decorations as well. But this also means it's time to send the cards, so I'm making them all year round.
This card is made with the BasicGrey Jovial 6x6 paperpad. Oh... I just looooooooove those papers, those colors are my true Christmasfeeling: Red (which is my fave one in general as well) and Green. Giving me the "old fashioned" Christmasfeeling.

Anyways... here's the card:

Thanks for coming over. Please check out the BasicGrey Challengesblog for loads of inspiration from the DT and we would love you to play along with us :)

Magnolia Summerbox

Today I gave myself a day off. Just a few washes and for the rest I really enjoyed myself making this project (and some more cards...)
Had this idea when I was shopping with my dad for a new bedroom closet and saw this box.
Will make these for every season. Just so loved making it!
Have to put a nice photo in there instead of the stamped image I think.

Anyways... back to the item....
Here's a close-up of Surfer Tilda. Love this stamp a lot! It's so versitle! You can use it on cards, and, altered items, like this box.
Coloured her with my Copics. Just love, love, love them!!


And what's a summer without seashells... so they defenately needed to be in my box.


And here's the Summerbox I made today... Love the shells and other Summer-items a lot.

And another detail... Surfer Edwin :)

Patterned paper: Kaiserkraft; Ink: Memento (black) and Colorbox (blue); seashells & seanet: own stash; Stamps: Magnolia; Die-cutletters: Quickutz; Ribbon: Stampin'Up; Bling: Prima; Copics

Another X-mas card :)

Made it for an online group. We had to use a sketch. Actually I made this card a week before I made this one...
