Creative bloghop

I've been nominated for the creative bloghop by Darcy Schroeder.

I met Darcy on The Outlawz, and now she is part of our sketch team.

She is a lovely and friendly lady, always willing to help and a great sense of humor!

And now she is also part of our TTCRD DT, so glad she joined us.

Her cards and projects are very beautiful so please check her blog and leave her some love!

 http://craftingwithdarcy.blogspot.nl/

  Now the questions.....

1.   What am I working on?

At the moment I'm trying to color an image for the oktober sketch challenges, and thinking of a project for the next TTCRD magazine.

Also I have on my desk some sheets to cut and make a example/card/project for a shop.

I usually have two or three things to do on my desk, and my laptop, :P

 2.  How does my work differ from others of my genre?

Hm,that's hard to tell, I think everyone has his/hers own style.

I color on most of my projects with copics, I use sketches I make, and sometimes it is CAS, sometimes it is more decorated.It depends of the image and how big I printed it.

3. Why do I write/create what I do?

I craft because it is so relaxing to color.

I love to start with a blank paper, print an image and make something people like.

4. How does my creation process work?

For most  of my projects I start with a sketch.

For every week we have another sketch challenge, so the sketches are the first thing to make.

I print the images and color 4 or 5 images.

Then I have to think very hard if the image fits the sketch, sometimes I have to print again to fit in a sketch :-)

Look for papers and put it all together.If I'm ahead for my sketches and TTCRD DT cards, i just color an image I like, put it aside for a while  and make a card later, I love the coloring process.

 Now its time to nominate 3 people for the Blog Hop.

I have to nominate 3 people with blogs.

I'd like to nominate:

Sandi Hugget.

 http://sandisamples.blogspot.nl/

Sandi is one of the most creative people I now.

She make beautiful digistamps and gorgeous cards,her coloring is fabulous

We met at The Outlawz a few years ago, and she was teamleader of the sketchteam.

She is also a great teacher, when she resigned as teamleader I took over and she learned me everything!!

Cara Malmrose.

http://creativechaosbycara.blogspot.nl/

Cara is a very creative person, I met her also on The Outlawz and on TTCRD.

She is very sweet and great to chat with, or to play a little game on the computer/phone :D 

Cara is a Jack of all trades, good in communication and great in crafting!

I loved to see the photo's she took in Japan when she visited her daughter.

Emily Shroom.

http://emilyshroom.blogspot.com.au/

Emily is a wonderful crafter, living in Australia.

She has the most gorgeous creations and every time I wonder how she does that!!

Her cards are put together so very well!

She is also on the sketchteam, we were very glad Emily was able to join us.

I know she will be on a trip soon and can't wait to see her photo's too.

Well now you have read my words you can go and enjoy our Blog Hop

New sketch!!

We have another sketch for you and this weeks posting is from Emily!

Hi everyone and welcome to this week's sketch challenge!

On behalf of Darcy, Lisbeth, Pat, Sandra, Trinaand myself, I want to welcome you all to this week’s challenge.  Thanks to everyone who entered our sketch challenge last week, the entries were all beautiful.  We’re looking forward to seeing you join in the fun this week and how you interpret the sketch.

Remember you can create anything, a card, tag, scrap page, as long as the sketch is your inspiration.  You can also flip, rotate and resize the sketch so long as we can recognise it.

As it’s a new month we have a new sponsor, the amazing Aurora Wings. 

Mitzi generously provided our design team beautiful images to play with and the winner of our September challenge will receive $10 worth of digital stamps of their choice from her Etsy shop!

Here’s this week’s fabulous sketch.

 

Now here’s some inspiration from the awesome sketch DT.

Trina

has created a beautiful Chinese inspired card with the Chinese Woman with Erhu in Peony Garden image matching the designer papers and colours of her image perfectly and adding a simple elegance through the use of black mats.

These images are so gorgeous and the colouring from the DT so amazing they deserve a close-up, here's Trina's image, so beautifully done it looks like it came from a classic Chinese scroll.

Sandra's

richly toned card features Sisterhood and is gorgeously warm and autumnal.  I love the colours and the elegant simplicity of the metal discs for embellies.

Take a closer look at Sandra’s fabulous colouring, she’s really nailed the feathers and the owls!

Pat's

card features Orchid Fairy.  I love the beautiful, soft lilac tones and how perfectly the wings are coloured to give the impression of translucency.

In the close-up you can really see how Pat has created a stunning watercolour effect with her colouring that is just perfect for the image.

Darcy

used Warrior and his Pack of Wolves on her masculine card.  I love the pop of red on his tunic and those metal triangle embellies.

 

And here’s a close up of Darcy’s beautiful colouring of the image, the fur on the wolves is just perfect!

Lisbeth (will be back soon)

Emily

I’ve used the beautiful Marie Antoinette on my card, which I just had to go vintage and shabby chic on given the image.

 

Just look at how beautifully drawn the image is, my absolute favourite Marie Antoinette inspired digi.

Now hopefully we’ve inspired you as we would love to see what you create with this sketch!
