Picnic basket with flowers, C4C346

Happy Saturday! Challenge time over at the CRAZIES....let me tell you, a challenge it was for me.I am pretty sure I stretched the challenge to the limits, lol

It's National Hot dog day, and we were asked to make something related to a picnic....

This is all I could come up with, a picnic basket with flowers....My excuse.....I don't like to eat outside....Next time better! Have a great day, Anja

Jumping dolphins!

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 11, another flower!

For the colour challenge, another Altenew flower with watercolours and a die

Day 10 for the challenge!

Day 10....I am falling a bit behind on the colouring challenge, no big deal, good thing there are no rules, lol. You can find the challenge HERE

I heat embossed the flowers and used some watercolours on them.

                                    Hope  you like it! Till next time, Anja

Just some colouring, no card for Day 8

Day 8, I did colour this Rosewood rose again with my Derwent colorsoft pencils, no time to make it into a card, hopefully soon....You can find the challenge HERE

The mess in my craft room is so big, I might have to clean up first before I can even find anything....

                                         Thanks for looking, 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

Day 4, botanical garden!

Happy Friday! Here my card for the SGD blog and Day 4 of the colouring challenge, you can find the challenge HERE. As you can tell, I love flowers!!

                                        Hope to be back tomorrow! Have a great day, Anja

Day 3, For you!

Day 3 of the colour challenge....you can find the info HERE.

I used my Derwent colour soft pencils again to colour this rose from Rosewood, such a beautiful stampstamp, embossing folder from Anna Griffith, sentiment from Just Rite, die from Nellie Snellen.

I added some stickles to the rose, have to  have some sparkle, lol.

Hope you like it, till next time, Anja

Color burst and brusho background for Day 2!

Day 2 of the colour challenge, you can find it HERE, I had fun playing with color burst and brusho powders. The flower is a Impression Obsession stamp and the sentiment from Stampendous, and see I messed up my black Viva dots....

I used the Misti to stamp the flower and versafine black, so nice that you can ink up different times till you like it and always in the same spot!!

The frame is from Nellie Snellen. Hope you like it! 

                                       Till next time, Anja

Off to a good start...

Day 1 of the colouring challenge and I even finished the card, so I am off to a good start. I have a whole pile of stamped images ready to be coloured so that I can stay on track!

This stamp is from Penny Black, I coloured it with Derwent coloursoft pencils in the colours as they show on the package, sentiment from My Favorite Things, die from Nellie Snellen. I added some stickles and Viva pearl dots.

You can find the challenge HERE

                         Hope you like it! Till next time, Anja

Joining the colouring fun!

 

On July 5th there is a new challenge starting, all about taking some time to colour every day.....no stress, nothing that needs to be done, just taking some time for yourself ,  even if it's only 5 minutes a day. Sounds good, right? I think it's a great idea and I am planning to do this!

You can check it out and join too! You can find all the info HERE

There really are no rules, all about enjoying to colour with whatever medium you like!

Hope to be able to post something every day for the next month......now that might be the real challenge, lol!

                                                     Till next time, Anja

C4C343, lighthouses!

Happy Saturday! It's challlenge time over at the CRAZIES, this time you are asked to use a light house, you can find all the details HERE

It took me a while to colour this card, with derwent colorsoft pencils, the stamp is from Flourishes, but I made the scenery bigger by adding some hills and the rocks (stampscape) on the front, I also added some lines to make more water. At last I added the reeds and the seagull on the pole.

Sentiment is from Impression . A friend retired this week, so I gave the card to him.

                                             Hope you like it, Anja
