100th card of 2019

Yes 100 already and I made it for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge:  miniature/tiny things.
And as the Wednesday Challenge is about cute things, I shall add it there too.

I think mice are tiny creatures, but I'm not sure if that's what they had in mind.
For my card I used the Stampendous Willowclimb stamp and I stamped it with My Favorite Things Extreme black ink.

The sentiment is from Craftin Desert Divas and I stamped that with Versafine Clair ink.

Colored the image with Derwent Inktense pencils. I've used hot pressed smooth watercolor paper and mounted the panel with foamtape to the cardbase.

Some Nuvo Shimmer pen on the cattails for a little sparkle.

Cutest sheep in the world: the blacknose sheep

for the Cute challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
Showcasing Clearly Besotted. I have a few of their stamps,all cute but none were really speaking to  me ;-)

So I used a Marianne Design Stamp EC0175 and Stamped it with Simon Says Stamp hybrid black ink and colored it with Spectrum Noir markers, cut them out.
The background is Distress oxide.
the Spring grass is from Studio Light and the letters spell Spring in Dutch.

AAA Cards Challenge #136 One Image + Spring, with video

This fortnight our challenge is using only one image only and the optional twist is Spring.
Our sponsor is Craftyscrappers.

For my card I've used a digi from Sliekje stamps, you can find them on her blog for free.

I've sized it in Photoshop and added the sentiment. I've put the Welcome between brackets as I'm sure the flower that finally came up and the human who grew it weren't too happy about a playful and naughty kitten, also a sign of Spring ;-).

I've printed the panel on Ecoline printable watercolor paper and colored it with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils and Odourless spirits.

Adhered the panel to a cardbase with tape runner. The printable watercolor paper from Talens, is very thin, doesn't like a lot of water or it will buckle, but it was fine with pencils and spirits, but it's also too thin to act as a cardbase.

rainbow card

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: Whatever the weather, showcasing Sunny Studio,but I have none of their products.

So for my card I made  a sentiment in Photoshop and printed it on a panel.
Inkblended Distress inks for my rainbow (Candied apple, Spiced marmalade, Mustard seed, Twisted citron, Mermaid lagoon, Blueprint Sketch, Wilted violet and Picked raspberry)

Splattered it with water as if raindrops,forgot my inkejt might not be 100% waterproof, but it survived) and the added half a Lace Butterfly from Wild Rose Studio on the side.

3 of something

is the Less is More challenge,this fortnight. And the Simpn Says StampMonday Challenge is feminine/girly. Notsure this is girly girly but it has kitties!I am a cat person, and a girl...lol..anyway...

I've stamped 3 of the kittens from the StampingBella set of Kittens (eb778)with My Favorite Things Extreme black ink onto Crafter's Companion Marker paper and colored it with Spectrum Noir markers.
I cut the panel wonky, so had to  mat it to make it straight again. 
Used tape runner to adhere itto the cardbase.

The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp and I stamped it with Versafine Clair ink.
