CME challenge 40: Backgrounds!

Hi everyone!

 

At the Copic Marker Europe blog we have a new challenge who start today.

 

I love it to create scènes with my stamps. There are also very beautiful background stamps. It would be so much fun if you would try that!

 

So our new challenge is: 

All about backgrounds

 

 

I made this card for the new challenge and used a rubber stamp "Aurora Spring Butterfly"
 from The East Wind, available at Crafts and Me.

First, I drew some clouds to create a sky and coloured around them with my blue markers.

After that, you can colour your stamp and finish with the grass. 

I kept my card very simple because I wanted to hold the focus on the image.

 

 

Here are all the colours I've used for this image:

skin: E13, E11, E00, E000 & R20 for the cheeks

hair: E57, E39, E37, E35, E31, E50

pink: RV29, RV25, RV55, RV52

eyes: E35, YG13, YG17

orange: YR07, YR04, YR02, YR00

clouds: C3, C1, C0

sky: B00, B000, B0000

grass: YG11, YG13, YG17, YG67, G28

 

I hope you liked my card and now it's your turn!

Fairy Avery with gift!

Hi everyone!

Today it's my turn again to show you something with a stamp from The Paper Nest Dolls.

It's a card that I made for my litlle niece who did her First Communion.

She loves fairy's (who doesn't?), so I thought this would be perfect for her!

This is "Fairy Avery with gift"

Like most of the kids, she loves bright colours! 

And this are the Copic colours I've used for this card:

skin: E13, E11, E00, E000

hair: E59, E37, E35, E33, E31

wings: B05, B02, B00, B000

pink: RV17, RV55, RV52

green: YG09, YG06, YG03, YG00

blue (present): B29, B26, B23

yellow: YR23, Y21, Y11

Thank you for visiting!!

Hugs, Deborah

Punch of colour girls 8

Hi everyone!

Today I've made a creation for Crafts and Me!

I've made this card with a stamp from our very talented Hannah Lynn "Punch of colour girls 8"

It's available in digi and rubber stamp!

For some way, she made me think about Paris a long time ago and I wanted to create a romantic look for this card. And I couldn't do it without my favourite cardcolour pink!!! 

Here are the Copic colours I've used:

skin: E13, E11, E00, E000

hair: R89, R85, R83, R81, RV10

green: G28, YG67, YG63, YG61

grey: W7, W5, W3, W1

yellow: Y17, Y15, Y11

dots around the image: E43, E41 and lots of blender

I think this dotting technique is perfect for this kind of stamps.

I hope you liked my card, thank you for your visit!

I'll entering with my card the next challenges:
Inky chicks: Pearls
Love to scrap challengblog - anything goes 
Crafts Galore- Anything goes 

Hugs, Deborah

Fairy baby

Hallo iedereen,

Vandaag is het weer mijn beurt om jullie iets te laten zien. We zijn half mei al gepasseerd, wat gaat de tijd toch snel!

Over 2 dagen ben ik jarig en daarom heb ik een weekje verlof genomen. Ik moet het toch goed kunnen vieren. Hopelijk mag ik genieten van het zonnetje!

Nu over naar mijn kaart.

Deze keer heb ik weer gekozen om met een stempel te werken van Mo Manning. Vooral de babystempeltjes vind ik mega leuk!

Om het kaartje aan te kleden heb ik leuk babypapier uitgezocht en nog wat bloemetjes om het een fleurig geheel te laten worden.

Dan heb ik nog de gebruikte kleurtjes voor jullie:

haar: E59, E57, E55, E53, E50

huid: E13, E11, E00, E000, R20

roze: R89, R85, R83, R81, RV10

blauw: BG49, BG13, BG11, BG10

groen: G28, YG17, YG13, YG11

ondergrond + schaduw. W5, W3, W1

Dit was het voor nu, ik wens jullie nog een hele fijne dag toe!

Catch a star!

Hallo iedereen,

Vandaag ben ik weer aan de beurt om een kaartje van mij te laten zien op het Colourstock blog.

Ik heb deze keer gekozen om een heel eenvoudige kaart te maken, waardoor mijn ingekleurde afbeelding veel beter tot zijn recht komt.

Na een goede 3 uur kleuren is dit mijn resultaat:

Ik ben helemaal verzot op feeën en dit is eentje van Tiddly Inks: Fairy Fae catches a star. Ik heb mezelf eens gedwongen om een andere kleur te nemen dan roze of turquoise. Ik gebruik blauw gewoon veel te weinig.

Hier volgen de gebruikte Copic kleurtjes:

huid: E13, E11, E00, E000, R20

haar: E59, E37, E35, E33, E50 

jurk en schoenen: N7, B29, B26, B24, B23

vleugels: BG49, BG13, BG11, BG10

sterren: E35, YR23, Y21

wolken: C3, C1, C0

lucht: B00, B000, B0000

gras: YG11, YG13, YG17, G28, YG99

Tot de volgende!
