9 Months Till Christmas with Newton's Nook

Oh boy, it's already the 24th again and there is now 9 months till Christmas. Winter is almost over and spring is fighting its way back. Love this time of year :)

As usual we are sharing some Christmas Card inspiration over at Operation Skriv Hjem (Danish Operation Write Home). 

This time I've gone for a more modern Christmas card...

I have first heat embossed the ornaments and the sentiment with gold embossing powder. 

Then I used my Blending Tool to add three fresh colours of Distress Ink to each ornament. To add a little more detail in colour I used my Inktense pencils to colour in a few of the areas of the ornaments. 

I made three different variations of this Christmas card. I made the card base colour match each of the ornaments by adding Distress Ink to the base with the Ink Blending Tool. I only did it to the edges, as the card front hides the mid part. 

Here you see one of the other cards with pink background. For this I have used a Danish sentiment. 

That is all for today - Wishing you all a fantastic day, 
Pia

Photo INKspiration - Alice in Wonderland - Inkspirational Challenges

We've got a new Photo Inkspiration challenge for you today at Inkspirational Challenges.

  Just look at this beauty which to me has a fabulous link to Alice in Wonderland. This versatile photo has been chosen for the new challenge of ours. 

Out of the ordinary I didn't make a card for this one. Nope, I have made a box for Toffifee chocolate with the WRMK's Envelope Punch Board. 

You can watch my YT video tutorial on the Toffifee box here below.

We also have a guest designer joining us for this challenge. Pop over to Inkspirational Challenges and see who she is. Maybe you know her :)

  

Now it is your turn to get creative and join us at Inkspirational Challenges.

30 Day Coloring Challenge - Day 5 with Clearly Besotted & Inktense pencils

Have you heard of The Daily Marker "30 Day Coloring Challenge"? No, then you should really check it out.

 

Amazing Kathy Racoosin is the master mind behind this. 

Below is my finished card with the colouring for Day 5.  

I have coloured the daffodil with Derwent Inktense pencils. But this time I did something different than usual. I didn't use a water brush to blend the colours. This time I used the pencils themselves to blend. As I am using ordinary kraft cardstock water blending would not be the best idea.

 

I wanted to try out colouring only with pencils inspired by Stephanie Klauck. Stephanie is a true wizard with colouring pencils - for one thing she does the most amazing colouring of Disney characters. She shares this on Instagram @sklauck.

That is it for today. 

The next following days I'll be sharing much more of my daily colouring. Next up is colouring with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush pens. Stay Tuned!
