Miss you...

So for this Planner/Art Journal page, I picked a not so girly theme as I tend to do more girlie style creations hahahaha.

So I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and drawn it with the artliners from Spectrum Noir onto the page. I used a stencil and some cheap metallic markers to color in the leaves.  The sentiment is from Crafter's Companion. This cute Gopher is from the Spring Gopher set by Last Minute Manda. Colored with the Spectrum Noir Triblend markers.

You can grab a freebie from LMM at the LMM fb group and there is also a LMM freebie up for grabs at the Kerst/Christmas group at FB.

I would like to play the following challenges...

Be your own kind of beautiful...

I found a new addiction with these planner/art journal pages ;)

It is so much fun and it will keep my craftroom a little bit more empty instead of hoarding more cards hahahhaa. So for this one I used the sketch from Paper Craft Crew Challenge blog. I had drawn it into my planner and started coloring it with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. The sentiment is from the Sara's Signature Vintage Dairy Adorning sentiments stamp set. This cute bear is from the Splish Splash bear set by Last Minute Manda and colored with the Spectrum Noir Triblend markers. You can grab a freebie from LMM at the LMM fb group and there is also a LMM freebie up for grabs at the Kerst/Christmas group at FB.

Sweet as Honey....

I am having a serious problem with collecting my own cards :) and while I am not able to craft in my precious craftroom I needed to come up with a sollution to still being able to play with my stamps and create something with them....

Well i found it at least I found something that is working for me.... I am playing a sketch challenge and draw the sketch into my planner and create the sketch all on paper with my pencils, markers, inkpads. Using stencils and dies for the outlining of the designs. As I am limited to space downstairs so I can't have all my fancy equipment here as there is just not even space and I don't want our living room to be over cluthered with my craftystash. As i keep hoping I can go back up to my own room soon again. (hey a girl needs a dream!!)  

So I created this sketch in my CraftSensation planner and I used the beehive stencils also from CraftSensations, I used the Spectrum Noir Artliners to draw the outlines of the sketch and colored it all with the Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. I used the DecoTime gold calligraphy twinmarkers to color the gold parts. And the sentiment is from the Crafter's Companion Nature's Garden Bee-Youtifull collection stamped with the Finesse Black waterproof inkpad.

And this gorgeouss Sunflower Loving Gnome by Last Minute Manda stamps colored with the Spectrum Noir Triblend markers.

You might think that ohh but that is so much easier than creating a card!!! well nope it does take alot longer to create than a card :) But it is okay as I have all the time in the world to play with my craftystash :)

I would love to play the following challenges with my plannerpage...

Dream, Wish....

Today it's my turn to show some inspiration with Ching Chou Kuik's digistamps and this time i choose to work with this gorgeouss Seahorsie from this set.  I colored the left one with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers and the right one is colored with some cheap markers from the Action that I wanted to try and compare I didn't had the same colors so could not do a color comparishment but this worked to for me :) they aren't as subbtle as the SN but they work none the less and if you don't have a big budget they do a good job :) it just takes time to find the right colors to create a good blend. While the SN Triblends are so easy with 3 colors that match perfectly. SO maybe I am a bit spoiled hahahahaha

Happy birthday....

Ik heb voor vandaag gekozen voor dit kaartje dat ik heb gemaakt met de 3D embossing folder Cherry Cherry en deze gebruikt met Yupo Papier. Daarna heb ik met de Spectrum Noir alcohol markers stukjes ingekleurd en dat verder uitgewerkt met een dun kwastje en 96% genatureerde alcohol. Je krijgt dan een soort waterverf techniek.( gezien bij Sarah Kay in de Spectrum Noir fb groep) Design papier is van de Sara's Signature Vintage Tea Party. Tekst stempel is uit de CC birthday greetings set.

Thinking of you....

Ik heb gisteren weer eens mijn Spectrum Noir alcohol markers uit de kast getrokken en heerlijk zitten kleuren :) Als eerste heb ik de Layering Peony stempels( Peony Collection) gestempeld met de Spectrum Noir Finesse Pebble op Claire Fontaine 200 grams papier.

Daarna heb ik de bloemen gekleurd met de DR7-5-1 en de GY2-1 voor het bloemhart.

De bladeren heb ik gekleurd met de DG3-2 CG4 volgorde zie je op de foto.

Daarna de gekleurde stempels uitgeknipt met mijn nieuwe Crafter's Conpanion schaartje CC-SCISS-SNIP echt een aanrader als je op zoek bent naar een goede schaar om plaatjes uit te knippen.

Op blogger zag ik een leuke sketch dus daarna een gedeelte van de 3d embos en cut folder Trellis Vines van de Peony collectie gebruikt en deze gekleurd met de Spectrum Noir Harmony Pine Tree stempelpad en de Midas Gold stempelpad voor een extra glimmertje. Daarna er nog een stikrandje omheen gemaakt want ja zonder kan natuurlijk niet hahahahaa.

The most fabulous...

Ik vind de Quirky sentiments stempels van Crafter's Companion zo leuk. Sommige zijn perfect om te gebruiken in je art journals etc. andere zijn weer het beste geschikt voor op een kaartje of bij een fles proscecco als kadootje....  Ik heb de Flamingo van de Spread your wings stempelset gebruikt en gekleurd met de Spectrum Noir alcoholmarkers. De achtergrond heb ik ook met de CR family van de Spectrum Noir's gemaakt.

Dreams....

De achtergrond heb ik gemaakt met de Spectrum Noir alcohol markers en 96%alcohol je kan dit terugvinden boven in de balk onder kliederen met SN markers.

Maak een rand om je werkje heen met het paarse tape van de action. Dan beschadig je het papier niet. Plaats daarover heen de Imaginations Crafts stencil die bij de Crafter's Inspiration nr.21 zit. Zet ook vast met de tape.

Ik heb een zwarte Archival Inktpad gebruikt om alles zwart te maken. Met het resultaat hieronder. Ik vind het zelf erg mooi.

En dit is dan het kaartje gemat op Zwart glitter karton van Crafter's Companion. De dreams snijmal uit de Enchanted forest collectie en een mooie strik. Een dubbel stikrandje eromheen en klaar.

Van de week lekker aan het stoeien geweest met mijn Gemini Foilpress en dit leuke afdrukje ermee gemaakt. Het motiefje is de Foil Stamp dies Trailing heart. En ik heb ook de nieuwe Stamp and Die Love gebruikt.
