Indigoblu pen/pencil holder.

I had this pen holder in the cupboard for a long time. I thought it was time to do something with it.
So I went on my mobility scooter to the hobby shop. I saw these fantastic stamps from Indigoblu. And thought, these are perfect for the pen holder. And this is the result.

Ik had deze pen houder al heel lang in de kast staan. Ik vond het tijd om er nu eindelijk eens iets mee te doen. Dus ik op mijn scootmobiel naar de hobbywinkel. Ik zag daar deze fantastische stempels van Indigoblu. En dacht, deze zijn perfect voor de penhouder. En dit is dan het resultaat.

Challenge # 103 Christmas in July

Hello everyone, its Riet here.

Funny, making Christmas cards in July.

Well I'm actually happy with it, then I'm definitely on time.

I used Megan's christmas bird

I started with the background.

I used light blue watercolor paint and plastic wrap.

So it looks like the ice on the window in winter.

Did the same with a piece of paper and green watercolor paint.

While drying I colored Megan's Christmas bird with pencils.

When the background has dried, 

I stamped with black stazon Megan's bird on the background.

Then cut the bird out and glued it on the background.

 With a die, I cut out the branches.

Glued the pearls with a hotfix and colored the lights and berries with a red marker.

Now some accents on the berries and lights and eye with the white gel pen.

I used a die for the “merry christmas” and black paper.

Then I sponged the edge of the card with black soot distressink.

Glued the card on a black mat and its done.

Hope you enjoyd this little tutorial.

You can still join the christmas in july challenge.

There is some stamping rubber to win.

                                            Have fun making your beautiful cards.

#103 Christmas in July challenge over at Lost Coast Designs

Hi everybody,

Yes, I now, its crazy.

Christmas in July, but what fun it is, you can never start to soon with your Christmas cards and tags. here is a link to the LCD challenge, come and join, you can win some rubberstamps. 

This is what I used.

LCD stamp sweater gnome.

White and black posca acrylic paint marker.

Dylusions paint, postbox red, fresh lime and polished jade.

Stazon black.

Stencils (mask) of your choice.

Baby whipe

Color pencils or markers.

And this is how I made it.

With a baby whipe and a little bit of polished jade I colored the background.

Then with a stencil (mask) with not to big design and fresh lime and a sponge I made the patern on the background color.

Then with a bolder pattern stencil (mask) and postbox red I made the last pattern.

As you can see I made some white lines around the red pattern.

I have drawn with a black posca the holly leaves and finished them of with a white posca.

Stamp the gnome on a peace of paper and color it any way you like and glue him on the tag. Now the Ho Ho Ho is a verry old sizzix alphabet. But you can use your imagination and create some of your own ideas. Maybe you have a die, or will be writing it yourself, or stickers will do nice to.

So have fun creating, and dont forget to read the challenge rules before you enter the challenge. And you can win some new rubber stamps, isn't that great.

Challenge 102 Off the edge

 

Today I will show you  a card with the beautiful florish stamp from Lost Coast Designs.

I really like this stamp, it has open parts in the flowers and leaves. This gives you the opportunity to color the florish. Love that, dont you?

So I sponged the background with distressink squeezed lemonade, peacock feathers and picked rasberry. I dropt some water on it so you get some stains.

I took a die and cut two branches and sponge them with the 3 colors.

Stamped the florish with memento black.

I used posca pens to color the florish, yellow, pink and 2 greens.

And with a white and black posca I dotted the florish.

I had fun making this card en hope you do to.

Dont forget to join the challenge, you have a change to win some rubber.

So come on over and join.
