Love those crayons, they are wax based and very easy to use.

Sketch Challenge!
It's the third Saturday of the month and that means SKETCH CHALLENGE over at the CRAZIES.
Love using sketches! I started by rubbing my versamark pad over a stencil and adding some pan pastels, when I thought I sprayed it with a sealer I actually sprayed it with tacky stuff......
Love using sketches! I started by rubbing my versamark pad over a stencil and adding some pan pastels, when I thought I sprayed it with a sealer I actually sprayed it with tacky stuff......
That's when I decided to sprinkle on some gold glitter, since it was sticky anyway, and placed a piece of acetate on top! Really like this! Not sure if this is a technique or not, but I will be doing this more, lol!
Then I cut the piece in 4 pieces to follow along with the sketch. The stamps are from MFT, stamped on Nestabilities.
Hope you like it, Anja

C4C356, forest scene
Happy Saturday! The challenge over at the CRAZIES today is to make a forest scene. For my card I have used a set from Altenew and a deer die from Memory Box. I stamped the trees by putting frayed burlap marker on my stamp and blend it out with a bit of water. Same for the grass and the leaves, I used peeled paint and forest moss. The blue is put down with a foam blending tool, tumbled glass is the colour. Did you see where I messed it up?? It's hard to be perfect, lol!
Today is National Card Making Day hope we all get some time to create a card today!

C4C352, no white after Labour Day!
Happy Saturday! Challenge time over at the CRAZIES, no white after Labour Day....did not know that that was a rule, lol! This was an easy and fun card to make! I love white on white cards, they are usually just so elegant. For this card I used mirri board for the leaves and the diecut. Flower is from Altenew, heat embossed on vellum. The strip on the left is perfect for keeping the vellum in place.
Hope you like it, Anja

C4C351, Christmas Blessings!
An early Christmas card.....that is not like me at all, when I saw what the challenge was at the CRAZIES this week, the idea of a Christmas card came up in my head. We are asked to make a card for an upcoming holiday. Last year I bought this stamp from Penny Black, it was still unused...
Heat embossed in gold and watercoloured with some Tombo markes, the berries have crystal effects on them. I carefully sprinkled a few magenta grey powder around the image and sprayed some water on it. Cut out with a Nellie die and matted on some old designer paper.
Hope you like it! Till next time, Anja

C4C350, sketch challenge!
Happy Saturday! It's the third Saturday of the month and that means it's SKETCH challenge over at the CRAZIES.
I love a SKETCH challenge, it takes the guess work out of your card making. For my card I used one of my many embossing folders....I really found some nice ones in my box, lol. And I went through some of my designer paper....and I used some ribbon!!
The flower pot is drawn by ME.... I am pretty happy how it turned out! The idea of this card came from the Art Impressions website, I watched a you tube and tried to copy this card. Sentiment from Just Rite.
Watercolouring with the Art Impression stamps is very easy and relaxing, on their website you can find a ton of tutorials!!
Hope you like this card! Till next time, Anja

C4C349, Back to school!
It is Saturday! Challenge time over at the CRAZIES!! This week the theme is back to school......
I don't really make back to school cards, lol, so I went to my CAMEO and cut out this frame.
The background is done with acrylic paints and an old gift card, some stars and dots were added. The circles are stamped on with acrylic paint as well. No clue who made the sentiment.....it was the only one is my big stash that was fitting!
Go on over and check out what the other design team members created, you can find it HERE.
Have a great day, Anja

C4C348, Olympic colours!
Happy Saturday! I missed the CRAZY challenge last Saturday, time got away on me, but today I am in!
The challenge is to use olympic colours or a sports theme, you can find it all HERE.
Normally I don't go for these colours so a challenge it was, lol, I have used a stamp set from Scrappy Cat, which I have had forever and never used before. I stamped the flowers on coloured cardstock and cut them out. The background is a dot stamp from Altenew, heat embossed in black. Sentiment is also from Altenew and popped up, silver Viva pearls in the hearts of the flowers.The leaves are done with a Martha Stewart punch, some green sequins to finish it off.

C4C 345, sketch challenge!
Sketch challenge over at the CRAZIES. It makes it easier to design a card, just follow the sketch.
One of my many crafting plans is to use my designer paper, lol, I have a whole bunch of the mini pads.....such nice papers....but hardly use them. I don't think I ever have enough time to use it all up...
But I did for the sketch, the flower is Penny black, coloured with pencils and I put some crystal effect on top, sentiment from Just Rite.
Hope you like it! Till next time, Anja

Day 7, a little bit of colouring....
Day 7 of the 30 day color challenge, you can find it HERE.
I missed yesterday...and had plans to post early today, well, that did not happen but I did colour a little bit. The flower is part of a Magnolia stamp, coloured with pencils, and cut out. The background is watercolour paper with some yellow brusho's. When it was still a bit wet, I stamped the Altenew leaves with forest moss distress ink, and because the paper was still wet, you get a bit of the watercolour look. The sentiment was cut with the Silhouette.
Hope you like it! Till next time, Anja

Day 5, pencils on black cardstock....
Happy Saturday! Some simple colouring today for the COLOR CHALLENGE, I have used pencils on black cardstock with some crystal effects on top. The derwent coloursoft pencils go on very easy on the black but the picture is not showing that all so well....
If you are looking for the CRAZIES card.....I posted that here on my blog a couple days ago as I used it for this challenge... I am trying to stay on top on all the things I want to do, lol, but sometimes Real Life messes that up, you can all probably relate to that! Oh well, such is life!
Hope you get some crafty time! Till next time, Anja
