A card for Katzelkraft

Hello everyone,

I have a card to share today. I made this one for Katzelkraft.

This is an almost one layer card. I just glued on the sentiment. I stamped the rabbit and then

I heat embossed the leaves with white embossing powder by WOW.  I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to colour the whole card front. When it had dried I added the sentiment. 

I used the following stamps:

KTZ 218 - Carte Postale

Mini 111- Bunny

This week at Vera Lane Studio

Hello everyone,

For this weeks Vera Lane Studio Post I have made 2 postcards.

This one was a doddle ! I used patterned paper for the background. I added some white paint, cut out one of the 'pretty ladies' from the collage sheet, added a tiny word and that was that ! 

You'll find the Pretty lady collage sheet HERE. 

This little gal is from the Super Girl set. I thought she looked like she was telling somebody off so that is why I added the snarky sticker ! lol 

She was printed, coloured with Copic Markers and cut out. I used a gel print as a background and added some strips of patterned paper. 

You will find her HERE. 

Thank you so much for stopping by ! 

In her own skin

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my blogpost where today I am sharing a MM project that I made for AALL & Create.  It is a 6" x 6" panel and I love making them. They are not too big and the fact that they are loose panels makes working on them so much easier than when you work in a book. (Which I enjoy too).

I really like this naked lady.. and I simply had to use her again. Here's how I made it:

I coloured my panel with Distress Oxide Inks and then toned it down with white paint and a brayer. Next I stamped a part of this gorgeous flower stamp over top. I inked it up with the same inks in the same colours so you get a lovely tone on tone effect. I also embossed it with clear powder see detail below. 

Next I stamped my lady on white card stock and on my panel. I used Archival ink on the panel to get a good impression over the embossing powder. I used a stamping tool too. 

Next I stamped the background and also some flowers which I planned to use. I coloured the lady and the flowers and then put it all together.

I think it turned out lovely ! I really like these rubarb and custard colours. 

I have used the following stamps:

#109 - Blossomed numbers

#140 - Doodled Blooms

#146 - Kings and Queens

#175 - Her own skin

Hello everyone,

For today's Katzelkraft post I have made a quick art journal spread. I had fun making it too !

I started with colouring the pages with Distress Oxide Ink in Tumbled Glass. I then used a brayer and added some white acrylic paint. Next I stamped over the top with DOInk in the same Tumbled Glass and Ground Espresso. I also used the ground espresso to go around the edged. I stamped the sheep on the page and on white card stock and coloured him. I cut him out and placed him on the left page. I added some washi tape here and there and then stamped the sentiment, inked it and glued it onto the pages. 

I used the following stamps:

KTZ222 - Relax

KTZ218 - Carte Postale 

KTZ208 - La Ferme des Animaux

This week at Vera Lane Studio

Hello everyone,

Happy Thursday ! For today's Vera Lane Studio post I have made an Art Journal spread and an ATC. I also have a YouTube tutorial for the Art Journal !

This was fun to make..  I have used the set that was released this week and it is called : Lighting Bug, how sweet is that !  If you'd like to know I made this how click HERE or on the pic below :

You'll find the Lighting bug set HERE.

The second (mini) project is an ATC:

This ATC sized piece of painted paper had been in my stash for years, yes, years and every time I saw it I thought : I must use this because it is nice... lol And today I came across it again and thought that Peekaboo would be perfect to go on here. 

I coloured her with Copic Markers, cut her out and adhered her and the sentiment to the ATC. Added some more shadow and that was that ! 

You'll find Peekaboo HERE.

Thank you so much for stopping by today ! 

Comfortable in her own skin

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my GDT post for AALL & Create. I have decorated a notebook this week and this is it:

And here's how:

I gelli printed a piece of paper and used this stencil to add some interest. 

Next, I got a plain note book from my stash and added some Dina Wakley washi tape over the spine. I used extra glue to make sure it stays put. I then cut the gel print to size and adhered it to the cover of the note book. 

When that had dried, I started adding interest with these two stamp sets. I stayed in the same-ish colours and added some black too. 

Here's a better view of some of the stamping. 

I also added some modelling paste with the same stencil and then stamped this beautiful girl on a piece of tissue paper. I planned to stamp her again on card stock and colour her but the tissue paper stayed fairly white so after I had made the edges disappear I decided to colour the image straight on the book. I used my Faber Castell Big Brush Markers for this. These are great as you can move the colour while wet but it is permanent when dry. 

And this is it ! I added part of the sentiment from the stamp set. 

Here she is again... 

I have used the following stamps :

#175 - her own skin by Kaitlin Paltridge

#23 - by Bipasha BK

#134 - Dot Matrix by Louise Nelson

Stencil #59 Weathered tiles by Autour de Maw

City morgue

Hello everyone,

For today's project I have made a journal spread. I only just noticed that I used almost the same colours as for my last project.

And here's how:

I used a brayer to apply these colours on the pages. This paint is very chalky so you don't have to use any gesso. 

I did the same with these two colours. 

Next, I collaged some dictionary paper on the page. 

Some stamping.

and some stencilling.

My focal images, stamped on tissue paper. 

And here it is put all together. I doodled around the edges and the sentiment with a pencil. I also coloured the doctor and the skeleton with Faber Castell Big Brush Markers. 

I have used the following stamps:

19571 - Writing triangles

19566 - Bubble Wrap Texture

19338 - Color wheel lines

20274 - City Morgue

19659 - Numbers set

19657 - Specimen

19658 - Skeleton diagram

20393 - Banksy doctor

Other materials:

Magenta pink - Viridian - Aquamarine - Jet Black - Watering can

Weathered wood 

A Tim Holtz zig zag stencil 

PaperArtsy Fresco Chalk Acrylics:

Sage - Teresa Green - Mermaid - Snowflake

It's one of those days

Hello everyone,

Welcome to my blogpost for Katzelkraft where today I am sharing a clean and simple card.

Sometimes it is really nice to make clean and simple cards. This was was fun to make and quick too. I stamped the girl with the umbrella and the sentiment, coloured the girl with Copic Markers and lengthened the line under her feet to go across the card. I added some colour underneath it too.  

I used the following stamps:

Solo 105 - Windy day

KTZ222 - Relax

This week at Vera Lane Studio

Hello everyone,

Happy Thursday !

Today I have an art journal spread and a card to share which I made for Vera Lane Studio.

I coloured the pages with Distress Oxide inks and then stencilled the flowers onto them, also using Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool. I added some stamping and some paint around the edges to frame the pages. The girl is new this week and is from "Pretty Ladies", so is the sentiment. I coloured her with Copic markers and cut her out. 

You'll find the Pretty ladies HERE.

I also made this card with the collage sheet "Fat Cats". I used some pattern paper, washitape and a sentiment from another set to complete the card. Lastly I drew a line around the card. 

You'll find the Fat Cats HERE.

Happy freaking everything

Hello everyone,

welcome to this post for AALL & Create. I have made a card this time and there is a process video if you'd like to see how I made it.

and here's how, scroll further down for the video ! 

I brayered yellow and turquoise paint on the card, then used a babywipe and this stencil to wipe some of the turquoise paint away. 

Next I toned it down by brayering white paint over it and then added stamping. 

I stamped the cat on white card stock, coloured him and cut him out. 

Here is the finished card. You can see the whole process in the video below.
