Decorating the Christmas Tree

Hi everyone!


Today is my last guest post for Make It Crafty, I’m sad but it was so much fun! I want to say a BIG thank you to Zoe and her amazing and talented team to let me join this fantastic group.
This time I made a Christmas card, I need a lot of them to sent to friends and family.


I used the adorable digital image “Christmas Tree Decorating“. I think this little girl is so adorable! It reminds me decorating the tree and how hard that can be. You want your tree to be perfect, at least I try ;-) 



Here are the Copic colours I’ve used:
  • skin: E04, E11, E00, E000
  • hair: E43, E44, E47, E49, 100
  • red: R59, R29, R27, R24, R22
  • white: C5, C3, C1, C0
  • green: G28, YG17, YG13, YG11
  • blue: B26, B05, B02, B00
  • pink: RV17, RV55, RV52
  • brown: E59, E37, E35, E33, E31
  • shadow on floor: W5, W3, W1

I’m such a fan of all the geeky stamps by Make It Crafty. Did you already see this one, “Geeky Rascal Pulls Christmas Tree”? I think it’s such a funny image, look how the parents react on this, haha!
My niece and her husband got a baby and  I think it’s perfect for the litlle boy’s first Christmas!

  • skin: E04, E11, E00, E000
  • borwn/hair: E59, E37, E35, E31

Halloween challenge!


Hi everyone!

 I'm the hostess for the challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps this week. Are you ready for Halloween? We don't celebrate Halloween in Belgium but I love to make some cards in this theme! 
It's so much fun to experiment with colours or textures.


For this card I've used the gorgeous stampset "Harvest Blessings".
I coloured the images with my Copic markers and created a background with some watercolours.
The bats are a stencil that I made by myself using a plastic sheet and some bat dies.

I hope you'll join our challenge this week!

Krafty tips and tutes: creating a mirror effect

Hi everyone!

Krafty Girl Deborah here with a little tutorial for you!
It's almost Halloween, so I thought to share a little trick to give a mirror effect to your colouring.
I used the gorgeous stamp Witch Wanda.

First you have the colour the whole image or the mirror part, just like you coloured the main image.



After that you just start to flick some stipes on a corner of the mirror with the darkest colour ( Copic W5).
Of course you can do the same with pencils or other colouringmediums.


Next step is to flick the previous lines a bit further into the mirror with the medium colour (W3)

 Blend the colours out with a W1 marker and go a bit in the coloured part of the face in the mirror

 Blend everything a bit together with the lightest colour. (W1)

Add some white lines with Copic Opaque White or a white Shapie pen on the mirror and  erase it a bit with your fingers and tadaaaaa.... There's the effect!

 I said it was simple, right?!

Thank you for stopping by!

  • skin: E04, E11, E00, E000
  • hair girl: E59, E37, E35, E31
  • hair boy: E29, E25, E23, E21

Have you heard the news?!?  This week is Kraftin Kimmie's 7th birthday!!  Tune in all week to the KKS Friends FB page for events, giveaways, flash sales and MORE!! 




Krafty Girl Deborah here with some inspiration. I love to make Christmas cards lately, I'm already in the mood! I made a mailproof card, that means it's completely flat. I used the adorable stampset "Shake It Up!" and the sentiment is from "The Magic of Christmas". 

I used a new die from Crafter's Companion, it's by Sara Davies and it's called "Contemporary Christmas scenic borders".
The die on the bottom is by CreaLies.
Background paper is by Papermania, Festive Frolics and the green paper is a Doodlebug one "Here comes Santa Claus".

The cute deers are coloured with my Copic markers.
