Autumn postcard

I made this simple postcard with a digistamp from Gerda Steiner Designs using colored pencils.

Leaf Print

This card brought me back to my childhood: as kids we used to pick leaves in park and then we made prints with them. 

So I went to our garden, picked a leaf, gave it a watercolor coat with autumn colors (red, orange and green) and transfered it on my card as a print. I masked a rectangle, loaded an old toothbrush with brown watercolor and gave it a brush.

With my brown Stabilo marker I added a stalk of the leaf and a sentiment.

Parachute Piggy

It´s time for Gerda Steiner Designs September´s Challenge!

First I made the background: I drew some clouds on a scrap paper and use them as masks while I did the sky with Distress Ink (Salty Ocean). The Piggy is colored with Copics, colored pencils, Stabilo pens and glitter gel pens, then I added Glossy Accents on googles and Wink of Stella on the parachute. I stitch-framed the scene with a blue glitter gel pen.

A little Thank You

This card goes to MFT Sketch Challenge.

On a kraft base I placed a design paper frame and a cute turtle from BB Polynesian Paradise (MFT), colored with Stabilo markers and white gel pen. Sentiment is from the same stamp set, the green transparent tape is from IKEA:-)

Rendezvous

The theme of Task for Two Tuesday's Challenge #59 was: Invitation plus sketch. This is my invitation to a date:-)

I played with some design paper from my stash (Folia) and pink glitter gel pen. The invitation is brought to you by a cute little pig from My Favorite Things (Hog Heaven), colored a bit with pencil and white gel pen. Plus letter stickers.

So don't forget, rendezvous tonight!

Hello, sunshine!

Let's do a sketch challenge!

For this card I used BB Polynesian Paradise from My Favorite Things. I stamped the little girl with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and with some masking I added flowers and leaves. I colored mostly with Stabilo pens/markers, the skin is done with Copics. Purple glitter gel pen on flowers gives a very nice shine:-) The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

On the stage

When I first saw this freebie digital stamp for Task for Two Tuesday Challenge, I pictured this band of cutties on stage...curtain call, standing ovation:-) So I created this scene:

I colored our Fantastic Four with Copics and drew the podium, curtain and the box where usually the prompter sits. I knew I didn't want to have a completly black background behind our performers and I remembered how Kathy Racoosin once made background with black fineliner by drawing the lines next to each other.
First I traced all the shapes in the background, so I would get a white border around and then I took black Stabilo fineliner (point 88) and loosely drew the lines with the intention to have some white space there.
I colored the podium lightly with colored pencil, I wanted to use the texture of watercolor paper. The curtains are made using Stabilo markers and water plus a little bit of yellow glitter gel pen. All is placed on a kraft base together with a stripe of black washi tape. Then I added the red oval on the prompter's box.
