My first Ppinkydoll project

Hi there,

Today I will show you a card I made yesterday. The image used is "Mily" from Ppinkydolls, She was a freebie I got on Tuesday.

I've always been a bit scared of colouring the Ppinkydoll images, because there's already some shadow on them.

Well, colouring Mily was a pleasure and it just shows, that you have to jump in and just do it. I was pretty happy when I'd finished colouring and I thought I got away with it.

I've used bordeaux backing paper (cardboard) and the top layer is from a 30 x 30 cm paper pad I have. I thought these papers went very well with the colours I used on her.

I added a birthday greeting on bordeaux cardboard and some white pearls to balance the greeting. I was out of bordeaux pearls, but I thought the white ones were ok to put on.

I also added three homemade roses i opposite corners in colours matching the stripes on the top layer as well as the colours used on the image. I'll be running out of my homemade roses soon, so I have to pull my act together and start assembling the next batch, which luckily is ready for assembling. It just take a lot of time to do so.

Well, that was it from me for now. Feel free to leave a message to let me know, if you like my card.

Easter Bestie

Hi there!

Today the reminder challenge over at the Scrapbook Stamp Society challenge blog is

Anything Goes – Option : Easter.

For my card I used Sherri Ann Baldy “IMG206”. You can find it by clicking the image title.

This is such a cute image and I love that she’s hugging that egg. I decided to colour her up in bright spring colours such as lighter teal and yellow.

I know, that I ought to get started on my animal classes, as it’s obvious I need to learn something about colouring those big ears and the slippers and the toy rabbit. BUT on the other hand, I enjoy to colour so much that class will come when I’m good and ready for it, and in the meantime, you all will have to bear with me, when I’m colouring animals.

I used the following Copic markers for the project:

Skin: E11, E21, E00, E000, R20 and E04

Eyes and hair: E18 E15 and E13

Heart + flower: R27 Leaves: G17

Bows + left stocking: Y17, Y15, Y11 and YR14 on dots

Trousers + right stocking: BG13, BG23 and BG10

Egg: C1

Hat + rabbit: C5, C3, C2, C1 and RV10

Slippers: RV10, E95, C3 and C2

I had some lovely chequered backing paper in pretty much the same colours I used for the image itself, so of course I wanted to use that. It is put on yellow and orange cardboard. Then I used a circle die I have and made a yellow die cut of it upon which I put a round layer of the chequered paper. Finally the image was put on. I had a little chicken to put on as well, which may or may not have laid the egg she’s holding LOL. And I added yellow melted HAMA pearls in the corners.

I hope you like my card. Feel free to leave a message to let me know. Please join my blog if you would like to see my cards on a regular basis.

Freyja's 4th birthday card

Hi There,

Today I'll show you a card I made a few weeks back for my nephews eldest daughter, Freyja.

I used Alicia Bells image "Cumpleaños", which could have been made for this occassion. I cannot remember if the presents are a stamp or a digi (or who the artist is, I'm so sorry for my bad memory).
 Freyja turned 4 years old and there are 4 candles on the birthday cake. It couldn't be more perfect.

I used my copics to colour the image, I'm sorry, but I didn't write down, which ones I used. I might be able to remember it, should anybody be interested.

My background is a piece of red cardboard upon which I glued a yellow confetti coloured piece of paper. I cut out the image and the presents and layered them so they fit on the card. Once I bought a jar of foam numbers, and luckily there was a number 4 left, so I put that in a corner. 

Since little girls love everything that sparkles (well, to be honest, old gals like me also love it), I added some coloured gems all over the cards. 

I hope you like my card. Feel free to leave a message to let me know. Please join my blog if you would like to see my projects on a regular basis.

Lace or ribbon

Hi there!

Today the reminder challenge over at the Scrapbook Stamp Society challenge blog is Anything Goes – Option : Lace or ribbon.

For my card I used Sherri Ann Baldy “IMG631 – Raggedy Rosie”. You can find it by clicking the image title.

Here I’ve tried something new. I have tried to colour the image with my Perga Liner pencils and I think it turned out ok. It might have been better, if I’d used the aquarelle paper for it, but I’ve had the image printed for a long time and felt like experimenting with my various pencils.

My pencil stash consists of the following brands: Perga Liners, Caran D’ache, Derwent and Faber Castell and some unknown, cheap brands as well. The four mentioned by name is my preferred go to pencils when colouring. I reserve the FC pencils for my colouring classes.

As some of you know, Perga Liners comes in A (aquarelle) and B (basic) pencils. The B-pencils are used for dry technique and the A-pencils can be used for both wet and dry technique. I have used a mixture on my image.

I used the following Perga Liner pencils for the project:

Skin: B3, A17, A18 and B11

Hair: A14, B7 and A15

Eyes: B4 and B16

Blouse and socks: B2, B13 and B11

Apron + bows on socks: A7, B14 and A8

Heart: B11

Shoes: B2 and A2

Border: Having roughed up the border on the image and the sentiment squares, I used my Copic V17 to colour it.

I put a purple ribbon under the image and around the second backing paper and glued it to the back of the purple backing paper. I had to make a separate bow to put on, as I’m not expert on just tying a bow with the actual ribbon used. Hope you understand what I’m trying to say here.

I added the sentiments on either side of the ribbon to balance the picture and added green peals in the corners.  

I hope you like my card. Feel free to leave a message to let me know. Please join my blog if you would like to see my projects on a regular basis.

My entry in the Champion of Champions Challenge

Hi there!

Today I’m showing my project in the Champion of Champions challenge, which is for DT members who have won in one of the categories in the WWWODT challenges during the past year.

For my project I’ve used Sherri Ann Baldy ”IMG811” You can find it by clicking the image title.

I used the Golden Globe Awards as setting as my inspirational project in the Champion of Champions challenge, and here I’ve used a photo shoot in Paris, France for this project. I honestly don’t know, from where I get these ideas, they kind of just pop into my head. My imagination is running wild sometimes LOL.

Here we have a model on a photo shoot near the sights of Paris. Maybe there’s a paparazzi hidden in the foliage clicking away too J. All the stamped “stars” represent the flashlights from the photographers’ cameras.

I used the following Copic markers for the project:

Skin: E11, E21, E00, E000, R20 and E04

Hair: E18, E15 and E31

Blouse and skirt: RV69, RV66 and RV55

Flower: RV69, RV55 and YG67

Apron: BG09, BG13 an BG11

Sunglasses: BG09, E18 and C0

Jewelry: BG13

I had some backing paper with among other things the Eiffel Tower and some baguettes etc., which I found suitable for this project (even if it more or less ended up covered by embellishments).

I’ve added a stamped camera and the “click” sentiments and stamped the flashlights as mentioned before on her background. In case there was a paparazzi hidden in the foliage, I covered the camera a bit with the ivy leaves.

I used a die cut film strip and put in two sights from Paris – the Notre Dame and l’Eglise Sacre Coeur, which I cut out from a travel brochure.
