Panama Hat with Copic Markers

Hi everyone, today I have this fun card to show you: it’s for a little three year old girl! To get started I stamped this cute Scrapberry’s “Panama Hat“ image onto some Strathmore “Marker“ paper (this paper is a bit more yellow coloured paper then I usually like, but it suited this image nicely and it takes the Copic marker ink really well.

Alcohol Ink Background Masculine Birthday Cards

Hi everyone, today I would like to show you a masculine set of cards created with the use of alcohol inks. Step 1: I used a left over, half A4 size sheet of Yupo (which is a synthetic paper) to start my project off with. I also have some plastic shot glasses, a few pipets, a straw (black in the picture), 96% isopropyl alcohol and two colours of Copic Various Inks (which are their refills) in B28 and Y08 (blue and yellow create green together). I added some of the coloured al

Alcohol Ink and a hair dryer

Hi everyone, today I’m on the Colourstock blog with a fun experiment: I tried alcohol ink on Yupo paper (which is not really paper, it’s a non porous synthetic with the feel of glossy paper) for the first time! I had a lot of fun and I needed to do a lot of cleaning afterwards! Step 1: First of all, protect your work surface! I can’t stress this enough! I worked on two A4 sized sheets of Yupo. I used Copic Various Inks (which are the Copic refills) for this technique, as well

Mo’s Digital Pencil’ “Wiz”

Hi everyone, today I would like to show you guys this easy and quick masculine birthday card for which I used a gorgeous digital stamp by Mo’s Digital Pencil called “Wiz” (as a bonus it comes with three different sentiments)!

Elegant Kennedy Grace Creations Card

Hi everyone, today I have a fairly quick and elegant card for you all that is suitable for all kinds of occasions! I started by stamping one of the flower images from the Kennedy Grace Creations “Grace’s Little Note” stamp set twice on Copic friendly paper with Memento “Tuxedo Black” ink. Next I coloured the images with my Copic Sketch Markers. I wanted the result to be fairly light so I didn’t put on to many layers. I used the following marker colours: RV10 and RV02, G40, YG

Art Journal Page: Friendship

Hi guys, today I have my very first Art Journal Page to show you all: I love watching Vicky Papaioannou’s video’s (http://www.clips-n-cuts.com/) and I wanted to try something like that to see if I like working in an art journal. So, I got myself a journal (every reason to buy new craft supplies is a good one, right ?) (my journal is the following size/brand : 13 x 21 cm Art Plus Moleskine Sketchbook) and then I had to find some inspiration. So, a while ago my friend Meghan Sh

Sweet Baby Cards

Hi everyone, for today’s post I created a set of cards using the ubercute Kennedy Grace Creations “Sweet Baby Mine” stamp set. These cards can be gifted, one to congratulate someone when they found out that they are (finally) pregnant and one when the baby is born, or, in my case, one card is for the parents-to-be and one is for the grandmother-to-be. When people find out that they are pregnant they usually don’t tell everyone if it will be a boy or a girl (or maybe they don’

Valentine’s Day 2017

Today I have a Valentine’s Day card for you. This card is made for my boyfriend and that’s why I tried to make it not too cute or flowery but with hearts, because well, it’s Valentine’s Day after all! For this card I used the Newton’s Nook Designs “Newton Loves Coffee” stamp set because the sentiment fitted the Valentine’s Day theme and my boyfriend loves coffee! I already know exactly what he is going to say about this card and that is that I DON’T drink coffee (so I can’t s

First of all I would like to wish everyone a Happy and Creative 2017! I hope you had lots of fun over the holidays and that you could spent your time with your loved ones.

The weather was nice, very windy but warm for this time of year. I included a couple of pictures for you so you can get an idea of what it looked li
