Jongetje in zwart-wit
http://pammiesinkypinkieschallenges.blogspot.com/ (26/2)
A card in black and white is something completely different from what I 'normally' make, but it's fun to do! At the new challenge from http://thesisterhoodofcrafters.blogspot.com the challenge is to make a card with dots and stripes and I was 'messing around' in my box of snippets of patterned paper when I happened to come across this black and white paper. I keep all paper leftovers sorted by color and was actually looking for something else. But when I saw this I immediately knew it was nice to use for the challenge. I only used die-cut figures from Leane Creatief, except for the 'tree' which is actually a branch with a bird on it. This die is from Marianne Design.

Let spring begin!
Look at those three little gnomes standing there! They can't wait for spring to begin (look at the text of the one in the middle) and that's exactly my idea. I'm not a 'winter person' at all, especially when there are as many gloomy days of rain as we've had. But luckily in the garden the tulips and daffodils are already a little above the ground and the crocuses are already blooming.
Once I got the pictures of the gnomes and glued I them on a background that I first treated with green and blue Distress Oxide. Then stenciled the green motifs using a Stampin' Up! stencil and the dark gray twigs using another stencil. The 'scribble figures' are from a stamp from Leane Creatief and the washi tape with music is also from LC. The lace is old and is from Marianne Design You can't see it very well, but the basket of the middle gnome is filled with white pearlpaint dots from Dovecraft.
And ofcourse a warm welcome to Tee (THe Paper Layer) and Janja: they are new followers and I am happy with that!
Sieh dir diese drei kleinen Gnome an, die da stehen! Sie können den Frühling kaum erwarten (siehe den Text beim Gnome in der Mitte!) und genau das ist meine Idee. Ich bin überhaupt kein „Wintermensch“, besonders wenn es so viele düstere Regentage gibt wie bei uns. Aber zum Glück stehen im Garten die Tulpen und Narzissen schon etwas über dem Boden und die Krokusse blühen schon.

Blauw-groen
This card is for a very good friend who likes it 'simple'. So this time I just used a stamp and a butterfly. The background was created with Distress Ink and the large image was stamped with VersaMark and embossed with WOW Gold embossing powder. I edited the butterfly with green Distress Ink and decorated it with two rhinestones. I actually think the result is quite nice and do you think it is simple enough?

Fietsen langs de gracht
You won't find any canals in our area, but here and there a ditch can still be found outside our Brabant village. We like to cycle there and especially the transition between flat meadows and ditches and then suddenly a forest: I think that's the beauty of the region where we live. So cycling past Dutch houses like on my card, that won't happen often! I made the card with materials from Leane Creatief and I made the canal myself with Distress Ink and a sponge dauber.
I noticed, that VineArts (I don't see your 'real 'name) likes to follow my blog. Welcome and have fun!
In userer Gegend gibt es überhaupt keine Kanäle, aber hier und da ist doch ein Graben außerhalb unseres Brabanter Dorfes zu finden. Wir radeln dort gerne und besonders der Übergang zwischen flachen Wiesen und Gräben und dann plötzlich ein Wald: Ich finde, das ist das Schöne an der Region, in der wir leben. Also vorbei an holländischen Häusern radeln, wie auf meiner Karte, das wird so schnell nicht passieren!zaterdag 11 februari 2023

Harten
Der Februar ist der Monat der Liebe und der Valentinstag wird gefeiert. Das interessiert mich nicht so sehr, aber eine Karte mit einem (oder mehreren!) Herzen ist immer praktisch für jemanden, der für mich wichtig ist!

Drie bij een hekje
After a few months break, the monthly challenges are starting again at http://scrapping4funchallenges.blogspot.com and that's why I made this card. The theme is: Everything is allowed, so that's a piece of cake this time! I used all dies from the new collection of 2023 from Leane Creatief and don't you think they're super cute? Those three animals behind the fence are already looking ahead to spring (me too!). I diecut them out of white cardstock and colored them with markers. Only from the sheep I have diecut the body out of a cotton pad, so that it has become really 'woolly'. The stamped tree comes from a somewhat older collection, but it fits well with the scene!
