Bird hotel

Van de week wat anders gefreubeld dan een kaartje: een vogelhotel.
De basis is van metaal, de rest is er allemaal zelf op gezet.
Het dak is gevlochten van wilgentenen. De vogels zijn gemaakt van mos en styropor.
En het is versierd met gedroogde (sinaas)appel, zaden, pinda's, etc.
Het dak heeft nog wat invulling nodig, maar dat komt dit weekend wel.
De vogels hebben er al flink aan gezeten vandaag, dus het zag er in het begin wat mooier uit - maar het wordt tenminste gebruikt, en het is ook voor hen bedoeld... ;-)

####

This week I made something else than a card: a bird hotel.
The base is made of metal, the rest is all attached to it.
The roof is braided from wood. De birds are made of moss and styropor.
And its decorated with dried orange/apple, seeds, peanuts, etc.
The roof still needs more wood in it, but I'll do that this weekend.
The birds have already eaten from it today, so it looked nicer when it was just made - but at least its being used, and it is meant for them... ;-)

Magnolia

Heb al in geen eeuwen een Magnolia gebruikt, dus dat werd weer eens tijd!
En ook weer een Martha Stewart punch - ben helemaal gek op die :)

#####

Try-out

Een kaartje om wat dingen uit te proberen.

Hij is een beetje te donker uitgevallen, maar goed...

####

Like my new Doily Lace punch from Martha Stewart and ofcourse my CC design stamp :)
Its turned out a bit too dark, but oh well...

ScrapOnline 25/02/2009

Tonight was another ScrapOnline.
Because Tiets just had surgery, Angelique took over.
It was a very nice sketch again.
Seeing as Im still in the Bittersweet mood its AGAIN this paper - I promise I'll start using other paper now :-)
Its the first time I used my Copics, so its not that good yet and I noticed the paper "bleeds" a little as well. But practice makes perfect, so I'll just start practising a lot!

###

Stamp: Sugar Nellie
Colouring: Copics, Adirondack Cranberry, Vintage Photo distress ink
Paper: Basic Grey Bittersweet, Bazzil cardstock
Embellishments: Flowers (brand unknown), Stickles, Dew Drops, pearls, ribbon

Sponged Fishy

I'm so happy!
My Copics arrived today from England - gonna try these babies in a second.

Now for the card of today:
The challenge over at the High Hopes Challenge Blog is sponging this week, and I combined that with the sketch from Friday Sketchers.
So I decided to cut out a bit with my nestabilities, sponged it with Cranberry and then stamped a script over it with the same colour.


Now, coincidentally I was sorting my beads and it had brown and white pearls in it that fitted perfectly with the colours of the Bittersweet range. So I decided to add a few on the card instead of a text, since I didnt have a fitting one unfortunately.


On the dew drops I added some stickles to give them a little bit of extra sparkle.
It doenst show well on the picture but it looks really nice in real life!



Thanks for looking and all the lovely comments!

Stamp: High Hopes, script stamp
Colouring: Adirondack Cranberry, Sparkly watercolour paint

Love Piggy

The challenge over at the Basic Grey Challenge Blog is to use a certain colour combo.
One of them is pink/brown and that fits perfectly in the Bittersweet paper collection that I absolutely ADORE.
I got it today and just HAD to use it.


I've used the sparkly watercolours again.
They are really nice to use.
You can see their effect in the picture below.


Thanks for looking!

Whiff Of Joy Challenge

Finally time for a card...
We're preparing for a trip to Iceland, so its a bit hectic at the moment :-)

This one is for the Whiff of Joy Challenge, a lovely sketch from Katharina this time!


I couldnt find the right colour flowers, so I've painted fabric ones with a sparkly watercolour paint. It matches a lot better now :-)
I also dont have a scalloped punch or something, so I punched flowers instead and lined them up to make a sort of scalloped edge. I think it worked rather nice.


Melinda is coloured with Distress Inks and Adirondack inks.
Around her are a few splatters of the sparkly watercolours.
This close up shows a better view of it.


Thanks for looking!

ScrapOnline kaart

Wederom een kaartje volgens de ScrapOnline.
Van te voren geeft Tiets maten door van cardstock, design papier en het afdrukje.
Dit kleur je alvast in, je sponst de randjes, etc, etc en op de avond zelf geeft Tiets aan waar je wat oppplakt.
Erg leuk om te doen!

Dit is wederom een oudere schets - ik ben aan het inhalen!

Stamp: Penny Black
Colouring: Distress Inks
Paper: Unknown
Embellishments: Prima Flowers, Dew Drops, Stickles

#####

Again a ScrapOnline card.
In advance Tiets tells you what sizes to cut your cardstock, design paper and your print.
You colour it, sponge the edges, etc, etc and on the night itself Tiets tells you where to attach what.
Great fun to do!

This again is an older sketch - playing catch-up!

Cute Penny

The theme on Cute Card Thursday is Valentine and Love is in the Air for A Spoon Full of Sugar.
And I thought this Penny Black was very Valentiney :-)

Not sure if you can see, but at the ends of the floss there are little balls made of Liquid Pearls.

Stamp: Penny Black

Paper: Unknown
Embellishments: Prima Flowers, Ranger Liquid Pearls, Stickles, Scrappers Floss, Ribbon

ScrapOnline kaart 2

Afgelopen maandag weer meegedaan aan de ScrapOnline van Tiets.
Helaas is de foto niet zo goed omdat er niet voldoende licht is op dit moment, maar het geeft wel een idee :-)

###

This last monday I entered the ScrapOnline from Tiets again.
Unfortunately the picture isnt of a very good quality because of lack of light. However, it shows the general meaning :-)

ScrapOnline kaart

Deze kaart is gemaakt n.a.v. de ScrapOnline aanwijzingen van Tiets van 5 januari.
Aangezien ik pas sinds kort lid ben van de club ben ik even aan het inhalen :-)
En ik MOEST even de nieuwe Ranger Liquid Pearls uitproberen.
En natuurlijk de Silhouette waarmee de swirl is gemaakt.

###

This card is made with the ScrapOnline challenge from Tiets from the 5th of January.
Because I wasnt a member of the club back then, I'm playing catch-up :-)
And I HAD to try the new Ranger Liquid Pearls.
And ofcourse the Silhouette which I made the swirl with.

Halloween

Halloween is al een tijdje over, maar ik had nog nooit deze kaart laten zien.
Bij deze dan nog...

###

Halloween has long been gone but I never had the time to show this card.
So here it is after all...

Whiff Of Joy Challenge

Weer eens een challenge kaartje. Met mijn favoriete stempelmerk van dit moment, Whiff of Joy. De sketch is van Katharina, de eigenaresse van Whiff of Joy.
###
Finally another challenge card. With a stamp from my favourite brand at this moment, Whiff of Joy. The sketch is from Katharina, the owner of Whiff of Joy.

Eindelijk weer inspiratie

Na een maand op vakantie te zijn geweest in oktober was de inspiratie eigenlijk een beetje weg. En lagen ook zo veel andere dingen!
Maar gelukkig, de inspiratie is nu weer terug.
En daarom deze 2 kaartjes.













Naar aanleiding van een schets van de Whiff of Joy challenge deze kaart gemaakt met het nieuwe stempeltje van Whiff of Joy - zo schattig!














En naar het idee van een sketch van Katharina deze kaart gemaakt, met als idee om er een stukje Paper Piecing in te verwerken om aan de challenge van A Spoon Full of Sugar te voldoen. Het gekleurde papier is gemaakt met ecoline en zeezout.

###

After a month of vacation in October the inspiration was mostly gone. There were also so many other things needing to be done!
But fortunately, the inspiration is back now.
And therefore 2 cards.

The first one is made after a sketch of the Whiff of Joy challenge with the new stamp from Whiff of Joy - so cute!
And the second after a sketch of Katharina , with the idea to fit in a little bit of paper piecing to meet the challenge of A Spoon Full of Sugar. The coloured paper is made with ecoline and rock salt.
