Spring Card For Stampin For The Weekend

Happy Friday everyone!! It’s time for a new challenge over at Stampin for the Weekend and this challenge is...........

Springtime!!

We want to see a card/project with a spring theme!

(Though it is supposed to be a change in season, it is still VERY hot!! On Sunday it was 36 degrees C and it’s supposed to be a few days before fall!)

So here is my pink springtime card!!

A dear friend of mine sent me a rubber stamp to say thank you for a birthday card I sent her, and when I planned this card, I knew I had to use it!

So I colored this cute little kitten with the following Copics:

E37, E35, E33 and E53 - for her skin and the basket 

RV34, RV32 and RV0  - for her dress, the bow in her hair and some of the flowers.

G14 and G12 - for her pants and some of the flowers.

B05, B02 and B000 - for her shoes and some of the flowers.

V06, V04 and V01 - for some of the flowers.

Y15, Y11 and Y00 - for some of the flowers.

W3 - for around the stamp

I also added three pearls as a string of pearls around her neck.

I used a nice dark pink ribbon and made a pretty bow.

I also stuck two little flowers with a leaf pin in the bottom right corner and a big flower in the top left corner. So that’s all for now, thanks for reading my post! Please do hop over to Stampin for the Weekend and take a look at the DT’s card! They’re stunning!

Happy Birthday Card for My Mother

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend.

I promised to post the card I made for my mother’s birthday and here it is.

I decided to make a red card since red is one of my mother’s favourite colours.

I’ve used a Magnolia that a friend stamped for me long ago and colored her with the following Copics:

E37, E35, E33 and E53 - for her hair

E00, E21 and R20 - for the skin 

R27 and R29 - for the red on her clothes 

Y11 and Y00 - for the yellow on her clothes 

W3 - for a shadow around the stamp

I also stuck four pearls in each corner of the image.

I’ve stuck some lace with a red ribbon on top, at the bottom part of the card.

I have also put three different size pearls in the bottom right corner and a pearl on the bow.

I put a big and smaller flower in the top left corner and also three different pearls.

Here I have put a bunch of flowers, with pins to finish it off.

I would also like to take part in the following challenges:

Tea Time - Book Mark

Hello everyone, I know I have not been posting for a while!

But some of the things I’m making at the moment is for my mother’s Birthday (22 Feb) and I can’t post that or else my mother will see it!

But here is a bookmark I made for myself!!

First time I’m making something for myself

I like it because it’s different from a normal bookmark.

It fits over the corner of your book. You can go and look at the tutorial on how to make one here.

This is how you put it in your book. It fits over the corner of the page!

This is what the back of the page looks like when you turn the page over.

I used an old digi stamp and colored it with my Copics........ Yes I said Copics!

My brand new Copics that I bought from a friend, here in South Africa! 

This is my first creation with them!! So here is the colors I used:

E37, E35, E33 and E53 - for the mouse’s skin and the chair.

RV34, RV32, RV00 - for the top part of the Mouse’s dress and the bottom part of the cupcake.

RV13, RV11 and RV10 - for the mouse’s dress, tee cup, tee pot, flower and the snail’s back.

Y00 - for the flower pot.

B000 - for the water in the flower pot.

E00, E21, R20 - for the snail’s skin

G17, G14 and G12 - for the table cloth and flower leaves.

W3 - for the shadow around the image.

I used my heart puncher to make a pretty border at the bottom of my bookmark.

Here is the back of the book mark.

I used some pretty ribbon and lace with a nice sparkly rose paper.

I would also like to enter this book mark into the following challenges:

Monochrome Card For Stampin for the Weekend Challenge

Before I announce the new challenge, please go check out the challenge blog, and see if maybe you made the top 3 or is the winner of the last challenge! (St Valentine’s day)

Now for this bi-weekly challenge:

Monochrome!!!

We would like to see you make a card/project in monochrome - (which is tones of one colour.)

So 

Now here is my card for this challenge:

I think it’s the first blue card I made for a lady! 

All the other blue cards I made have been for men! This card is for a special friend of mine who’s birthday is coming up soon!!

I used a stamp a friend sent me, long, long ago. Already stamped on paper and I could just colour it!

I used my Copics to colour her:
E37, E 35, E33 and E53 - for her hair

E00, E21 and R20 - for her skin

Y15, Y11 and Y00 - for the bow in her hair, her top, bottom strip of her dress and her shoes 

B05, B02 and B00 - for all the blue on the image

W3 - for a shadow around the image.

I used blue gems to give the card some spark,

and used the tool a friend gave me, to make the swirls!

I wrote “Happy Birthday” in a dark blue and stuck it on ‘n pop-up.

I stuck a blue dotted ribbon with a pearl buckle at the bottom on the right side of the card.

Here is a close up picture of the pearl buckle.
