<br /></div>
<div>
You can see the stationery design <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/239301830/printable-stationery-a4-summer-birds-2?ref=shop_home_active_8" target="_blank">here</a> or in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/StationerybyConnie?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a>.<br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This was actually also a test to see if I could enclose an animated (.gif) file here on my blog ...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If all goes right, the bird house on the right should change color every 2 seconds ....</div>

See <a href="http://fromtheheartstamps.com/community/2015/06/06/free-stamp-of-the-month-june-2015/" target="_blank">this blogpost</a> to find out more about it !<br />
<br />
Everyone who plays along gets the next image of the month for free ! Isn't that just wonderful ?!<br />
I would definitely encourage everyone to play along !! All of the images are so great !<br />
<br />
I've enjoyed coloring this cute little hedgehog so much and I've also tried to create a background by masking the image with masking fluid ... it was my first trial !<br />

<br />
I came across the "<a href="http://fromtheheartstamps.com/shop/" target="_blank">From The Heart Stamps</a>" shop and website (FTHS) and fell in love with all the cute images over there !! I've bought a couple of them to start with and put a few others on "my wishlist" as well :-D<br />
<br />
I also noticed that there are regular challenges with the FTHS digi-stamps, so I thought I'd give it a try right away !<br />
<br />
They currently have a challenge running : <a href="http://fromtheheartstamps.com/community/2015/06/01/i-heart-sketches-with-a-twist-no-111/" target="_blank">a sketch challenge with a twist (no.111)</a>.<br />
<br />
Because I was having sooo much fun, I ended up making two cards with the same sketch !<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(The coloring itself proved to be harder than I initially thought it would be, and my images are currently not as streakless as I had hoped for ...so, I'll definitely *need* more digi's to refine my techniques ...)</span></i><br />

I did not put a sentiment on the cards at this point, because I have not yet decided what I am going to use them for, but I can always add some text or label later, right ?<br />
<br />
I wonder which one of the two you like the best ?<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you around again !!<br />
<br />
Lots of love and hugs,<br />

<br />
True, it's been a long while since I've posted here, but today I'm back !!<br />
<br />
Last weekend I have bought myself a set of <a href="http://www.chameleonpens.com/" target="_blank">Chameleon pens</a> !! The full set !! And I have enjoyed using them sooooooo much already !! I'm still learning it, but I'm already LOVING it !!<br />
<br />
On the site (chameleonpens.com), there is even plenty of information, video's and tutorials about how to use these amazing pens. The card that I am going to show you below has been made by following a FREE tutorial by illustrator Dave Antram. But there is lots more included in the monthly newsletter as well !<br />
<br />

The colors I used for the two bears are Violet, Brown and Coco, but you can create a lot of depth because of the changing color tone of each pen !<br />
<br />
The little flower at the bottom has not been colored with these pens, but had been colored before with some watercolor pencils ...<br />
<br />
Well, I hope you are just as enthusiast about this card as I am !!<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for more "trials" the coming weeks !!<br />
<br />
Bye for now and have a lovely day !<br />

Oh ! And of course I am constantly looking for new (digi-)stamps that are fun to color now ! I think I'm going to check the <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp</a> site and maybe a few others too !<br />
<br />
I would like to enter my card on the <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-anything-goes-16/" target="_blank">Simon Wednesday Challenge blog</a>, but was amazed that there were already over 800 entries there !! It will be a great source for inspiration to scroll through all the other cards that have been uploaded before !<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Maybe it's a little early to start posting Holiday themed cards, but I've recently bought this cute <a href="http://www.meljensdesigns.com/christmas-lights-snail/" target="_blank">Christmas Lights Snail</a> image in <a href="http://www.meljensdesigns.com/" target="_blank">Meljen's shop</a> and I couldn't wait any longer to create something with it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I loved coloring the digi very much although I realize it's not perfect, but I struggled so much composing the card and there are a couple of things that went wrong, oh well, imperfections can be charming too I hope ;-)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thanks for looking and have a lovely day xx</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Maar het kriebelde al een hele tijd om nog eens wat kaarten te maken, dus toen ik de leuke <a href="http://liftchallenge.blogspot.be/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5bc2cd">lift challenge</span></a> zag op het gelijknamige <a href="http://liftchallenge.blogspot.be/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5bc2cd">blog</span></a>, ben ik er eindelijk nog eens in gevlogen :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mijn kaartje is er eentje om op te sturen naar een penne-vriendin uit de UK, ik ben nu al benieuwd wat ze er van vindt ;-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">*****</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has been such a long time since I've posted anything on my blog !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But my fingers had been itching for a long time to start making some more cards again, so when I saw the cool <a href="http://liftchallenge.blogspot.be/2014/09/liftchallenge-72.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5bc2cd;">lift challenge</span></a> on the <a href="http://liftchallenge.blogspot.be/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5bc2cd">blog</span></a>, I decided to give it a go again ;-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've made my card for one of my pen pals living in the UK, I wonder what she will think of it and hope she will like it ;-)</span><br />
<br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8AK89hYRw-M/VCKwcer8LNI/AAAAAAAADLc/dTn8NZmZTcE/s1600/IMG_20140924_133606.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8AK89hYRw-M/VCKwcer8LNI/AAAAAAAADLc/dTn8NZmZTcE/s1600/IMG_20140924_133606.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hieronder de te liften kaart - below is what the card needed to look like</span><br />

<br />
I've drawn & painted the owl image in Artrage, then finished the envelope with some Photoshop brushes ...<br />
<br />
It's perfect to use my stash of white envelopes that I usually leave aside when sending mail to my pals abroad ...<br />

I can hardly wait to use them now :)<br />
<br />
Hope my pals will like them too ...<br />

Have a lovely end of the weekend and until a next post ...<br />

<br />
Below are some tags that I've painted recently in Artrage, they can be downloaded for free <a href="http://sensiwoman.deviantart.com/art/Painted-tags-Part-two-445530436" target="_blank">here</a> (part two) and <a href="http://sensiwoman.deviantart.com/art/Painted-tags-Part-one-443737857" target="_blank">here</a> (part one).<br />

They can be used for digital scrapbooking, or you can also print them and use them for various craft projects, for gifts, as bookmarks, ... or anything you can think of ...<br />

<br />
This is a baby announcement card that I've made for my sister's third baby boy.<br />
<br />
I can finally show it on my blog now, since her son Simen was born on the 18th of February and everyone should have received the announcement by now ;-)<br />
<br />
It was a bit of a challenge to come up with something original and it was quite a relief to hear that many people liked the result :).<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking and have a lovely day,<br />

<br />
Hello again,<br />
<br />
Here's my second post for today ...<br />
<br />
These are some snail mail tags I've created and colored last night.<br />
<br />

<br />
I would like to participate with them in <a href="http://meljensdesignsdt.blogspot.be/2013/07/challenge-168-tag-youre-it.html" target="_blank">Meljen's current challenge - Tag You're it</a>.<br />
<br />
I used three of my favorite Meljen's digital images, because they are all related with 'mail' ;-)<br />
(Mailed With Love, Snail Mail & Birds Little Letter)<br />
<br />
I created them in Artboard, printed them out and then colored them with coloring crayons...<br />
<br />
I guess most of you know that I am also into pen palling, so the tags will be very useful :D<br />
<br />
I wonder what you think of them ?<br />
<br />

Today I wanted to show you some owl bookmarks I've made a few days ago !!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I found some inspiration on Pinterest and then tried to make my own version of it ... I think they turned out to be pretty cute ...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I like to enclose them in a letter to my pen friends abroad, 'cause there are many book lovers amongst them ;-).</div>

<br />
I've made.....oh yes.....another birthday card, cause that's the kind of cards I need the most in my collection. I really had so much fun today, while creating the card. I recently bought a book about cutting patterns in (origami) or other folding paper. I remember having done this in my childhood years as well, cutting folded paper with 'random' patterns at that time ;-). It is really so cool to do this again and it makes for cute elements that can be used on cards (think of leaves, flowers, borders, and so on) !!<br />
<br />
I used a few of those elements on my current card and used the digi called '<a href="http://meljensdesigns.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23_24&products_id=923" target="_blank">cup of sunshine</a>' - I really think this one is gonna be one of my favorites to use on cards !! I colored it with some of my copics and added some pearls to add a little bit of 'bling' to the card.<br />
<br />

Below is the book I was talking about, which holds hundreds of beautiful cutting patterns that can be used for many different purposes (home decoration, birthday & other parties, all kinds of craft projects, ..). The original title of the book is "Lady Boutique Series No. 3346" and the author is Akiko Murooka. Maybe it can inspire some of you for future craft projects ?</div>

<br />
Afgelopen week heb ik voor de allereerste keer enkele kaartjes gemaakt als gastdesigner (<a href="http://kaartjes-inspiratie-challenges-blog.blogspot.be/2013/06/kic-challenge-9-bruin-blauw.html" target="_blank">KIC blog - challenge 9</a>). De bedoeling was om een kaart (of iets anders) te maken met hoofdzakelijk de kleuren blauw en bruin. Dat was voor mij ongelooflijk spannend en ik voelde me eerlijk gezegd wel behoorlijk onzeker. Eigenlijk was één kaartje meer dan voldoende, maar aangezien ik van geen enkele creatie zelf echt overtuigd was, heb ik er maar 3 verschillende opgestuurd...Dit zijn ze uiteindelijk geworden. Ben wel es benieuwd wat jullie er van vinden eigenlijk :)<br />
<br />
Groetjes en tot een volgend berichtje,<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
So...I think I only have a few hours left to participate in the current challenge at <a href="http://meljensdesignsdt.blogspot.be/2013/05/challenge-162-color-challenge.html" target="_blank">Meljen's Design Blog</a> and here's the card I made for that occasion. So I'm gonna keep my text rather short this time around ;-).<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've decided to make another Birthday card, this time with the cute "<a href="http://meljensdesigns.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23_38&products_id=847" target="_blank">Fancy Gift Box</a>" digi that I bought in her shop a few days ago :). I like to make cards based on color combo's and/or sketches.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope the colors used for my card match the colors of the picture below well enough ;-)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wishing all of you a great week with lots of sunshine !!!</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vXj5i0S8aHg/UaSacWdubVI/AAAAAAAABjo/XP526729qzk/s1600/Oma-Dee.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vXj5i0S8aHg/UaSacWdubVI/AAAAAAAABjo/XP526729qzk/s1600/Oma-Dee.png" height="320" width="251" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
En hoewel de uitdaging bijna afgelopen is (vrijdag 31 mei) wou ik toch ook nog graag even mijn kans wagen :). Dus snel zijn is de boodschap !! Neem vlug maar eens <a href="http://bijomadee.blogspot.be/2013/05/schetsuitdaging-6.html" target="_blank">een kijkje</a>, want er valt een originele prijs te winnen ;-) -> niet dat we enkel daarvoor hoeven mee te doen natuurlijk, 't blijft (althans voor mij) vooral een hobby die ik doe voor de fun !!<br />
<br />
Ik wou ook absoluut eens iets uitproberen met m'n nieuwe digi's van bij Meljen's Design die ik afgelopen weekend aangekocht heb. Er was 25% korting op de volledige collectie, dus dat was een uitgelezen kans om mijn collectie een (klein) beetje uit te breiden. (want ook daar zou ik later graag nog aan verschillende challenges willen mee doen). Deze keer gebruikte ik de digi <a href="http://meljensdesigns.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_4&products_id=229" target="_blank">Birds Little Letter</a>.<br />
<br />
Ach !! Genoeg gepraat (alweer) waarschijnlijk ? hihi, over naar m'n creatie nu :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Hmmm, ik moet er eerlijk bij bekennen dat deze keer niet alles van een leien dakje verliep... Ik heb heel wat zitten 'prutsen' deze keer om eerst mijn schets naar wens te krijgen en vervolgens alles een klein beetje te laten samen passen van kleur en zo meer. Ik heb ondertussen ook gemerkt dat ik toch best eens een kleine extra investering zou doen om wat verschillende soorten "bloemetjes-decoratie" aan te schaffen ...weeral een reden om nog eens lekker te gaan shoppen, nietwaar ???<br />
(daar kan ik trouwens telkens wel weer een andere/nieuwe reden voor bedenken hoor)<br />
<br />
Wat mijn vorige berichtje betreft - ivm de nieuwe layout van m'n blog - dat is eigenlijk niet langer van tel. Gelukkig maar, want er was ook niet veel (lees -> geen) respons op LOL...tjaah... en aangezien geduld ook alweer niet mijn sterkste kant is, ben ik dan zelf maar eens op ontdekkingstocht gegaan ...dan kwam ik al vlug uit op Shabbyblogs.com en na wat uittesten en doen, denk ik dat het er (voorlopig) wel okay uit ziet ? niet ? Tot ik weer maar eens wat anders wil natuurlijk ;-).<br />
<br />
Groetjes en liefs,<br />

Alvast bedankt voor jullie reacties (ook op vorige berichtjes) enne ...tot een volgende keer !!<br />

<br />
De kaartjes die ik jullie vandaag wil laten zien heb ik gemaakt volgens de leuke sketch van het KIC (Kaartjes - Inspiratie - Challenge) - blog.<br />
<br />
Dit zijn uiteindelijk mijn creaties geworden :<br />

Het zijn voor de verandering eens kaartjes in vintage stijl geworden. Zoiets had ik tot nu toe nog niet gemaakt.<br />
<br />
Hieronder zie je ze nog eens alle drie op een rij.<br />
(Ze zijn gelijkend en toch weer allemaal nèt een tikkeltje anders.)<br />

Ik zou met dit kaartje graag mijn kans wagen bij de volgende Challenges :<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://kaartjes-inspiratie-challenges-blog.blogspot.be/2013/05/kic-challenge-7-sketch.html" target="_blank">KIC-challenge 7 : volgens sketch</a></li>
<li><a href="http://ge-we-hobbychallenge.blogspot.be/2013/05/challenge-13vlinders.html" target="_blank">GE-WE Hobbychallenge : vlinders</a></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
****<br />
<br />
<u><b>Werkwijze</b></u><br />
<br />
En hier dan eventjes kort hoe ik te werk gegaan ben...<br />
<br />
Eerst maak ik een soort van 'digitale compositie' van de kaart die ik wil gaan samenstellen.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Dit doe ik met een app genoemd 'Artboard', mocht je je even vervelen, dan kan je dat eens gaan 'googlen') - ik ben er helemaal wèg van ! </i><i>Ik weet wel niet of er ook een windows versie van is ??</i><br />
<br />
Als mijn compositie een beetje 'naar wens' geworden is, dan maak ik een afdrukje van alle afzonderlijke elementen en kan ik daarna alles in elkaar gaan knutselen met mijn digitaal gemaakte afdruk als voorbeeld, zo weet ik al hoe het uiteindelijke resultaat er ongeveer zal uit zien ...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zFBm6QiImag/UZ9VN5tETUI/AAAAAAAABhg/NbnHaRVt318/s1600/KIC-challenge-compositie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zFBm6QiImag/UZ9VN5tETUI/AAAAAAAABhg/NbnHaRVt318/s1600/KIC-challenge-compositie.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
En hier zijn mijn favoriete 'bronnen' om kaartjes (èn briefpapier) te maken, want zoals sommige van jullie misschien al weten, hou ik me behalve met knutselen ook nog bezig met briefwisseling naar buitenlandse vrienden en dan schrijf ik het liefst op mooi, kunstig of lekker grappig papier, maar liefst ook zo afwisselend en origineel mogelijk ;-) De afdrukjes van deze kaartjes heb ik onder meer hier aangetroffen :<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://farfarhill.blogspot.be/">http://farfarhill.blogspot.be</a> - een blog met ONGELOOFLIJK VEEL downloads, waarvan de meeste gratis !!</li>
<li><a href="http://freevintagedigistamps.blogspot.be/">http://freevintagedigistamps.blogspot.be</a> - en hier is ook dagelijks nieuw gratis materiaal te vinden.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><u>Als toemaatje :</u></span><br />
<br />
De twee <b><u><a href="http://sensike.blogspot.be/p/freebies.html" target="_blank">labels</a></u></b> die ik gebruikte voor bovenstaande kaartjes zal ik als <u><b><a href="http://sensike.blogspot.be/p/freebies.html" target="_blank">downloads</a></b></u> beschikbaar stellen op mijn blog in een apart tabblad met <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><u><a href="http://sensike.blogspot.be/p/freebies.html" target="_blank">freebies</a></u></b></span> - het is de bedoeling om daar in de toekomst nog geregeld labels of wat andere elementen aan toe te voegen :)<br />
<br />
Zo, dat was dan alweer mijn vrij uitgebreide blogberichtje van vandaag :)<br />
<br />
Vele groetjes en een gezellig weekend gewenst !<br />
xoxo<br />

Terug aanwezig in <i>"blogland" dus</i>, joepiiieee !!!<br />
<br />
Ik vond de uitdaging <u><span style="color: #3d85c6;">185</span></u> bij <a href="http://dutchcardlovers.blogspot.be/2013/05/challenge185.html" target="_blank">Dutch Card Lovers</a> deze keer ZO leuk, dat ik absoluut ook mijn bijdrage wilde leveren...<br />
èn bovendien was het gewoon <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">FANTASTISCH</span></b> LEUK om nog eens een kaartje in elkaar te knutselen !!<br />
<br />
Ik heb er zelf enorm veel plezier aan beleefd en ben best wel tevreden met het eindresultaat :)<br />
Ik heb de smaak nu denk ik wel terug te pakken, dus hopelijk volgt er binnenkort terug wat <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">meer nieuws</span></b> van me !!<br />
