Love to Create - Color Challenge

Hi all!!

Welcome to a brand new challenge at Love to Create! This week we have a color inspiration challenge! Our sponsor for this week is Sami Stamps, and they are offering a $12 gift certificate to the winner! Isn't that great? Just click on the banner below to visit the shop.


And now on to the challenge, here is our color inspiration picture!


And here is what I made for you all!

 I made a little gift box with my Envelope Punch Board. It was the first time I ever used the board, but it was so easy! The only drawback for me is that the scoreline is on the right, and that is not easy being a lefty... But it worked!

 The image I used is called Butterfly Kisses. The image can be found here. I used my Copic Markers again to color the image, and I used the following
Cat: E23, E25, E27
Butterfly: R22, R24
Feathers: R56, R59

 And here is the back of the box. The papers I used to decorate it are by Authentique, and they match perfect to our color challenge.

I used some velcro to close the box. I am going to fill this box with liquorice, and give it to a sweet friend of mine who is going to Malta for 6 months.

This was it for today, I hope you like it! Please pop over to Love to Create and join us!

Hugs, Sandra

Love to Create - Vintage Romance

Hi all!

It's Monday again, which means a new weekly challenge at Love to Create! This week we want to see some VINTAGE ROMANCE! Oh la la!
We have 2 amazing sponsors for this challenge, just click on the banners below to go to their shops!
Tsunami Rose is offering a digital kit


Sami Stamps is offering a $12 gift certificate


Both sponsors generously provided materials to work with to the DT, and this is what I came up with.

The papers I used are by Tsunami Rose, from the Mechanical Error journaling kit. You can find the kit here. I used my Tim Holtz distressing tool to all the edges of the papers, and I used some Distress Ink Vintage Photo after distressing.

The image I used is by Sami Stamps. She is called On my Mind, and can be found here. I used my Copic Markers to color the image, and I used the following colors
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E13 and R20 for blush
Hair: E53, E55, E57
Dress: C5, C7, 100
Roses and hearts: R24, R27
The image is cut out by hand and added to a Nestabilities oval die cut.
I used some pearl string around the oval. The flowers I used are by Wild Orchid Crafts. I made the 2 hat pins by myself, to emphasize the vintage look.

The lace I used is really really vintage, I think it's about 40 years old. I used a butterfly punch to make a butterfly, and I added some pearls in the centre with my pearlmaker pen. I also used that pen to add the tiny pearls to the oval. To finish my card I added a charm.

That was it for today, I hope you like it. Please click to go to Love to Create and join us!
