Do I smell a bone?

cHello everyone, 

For my DT post for Katzelkraft I had to use another one of those lovely dogs.. It is a card and this is

it :

I started with a piece of white card stock and used a brayer and some acrylic paints to create the background. I used PaperArtsy Fresco paints in the colours: Cheesecake, Yellow Submarine, Pumpkin soup, Limelight and some Snowflake. When that was done I stamped the background with a variety of Katzelkraft Stamps. There is a list of all the stamps I used at the bottom of this post. 

I then picked some Designer Paper from a paper pack from BoBunny called "C'est la Vie". I stitched some of it at the right top and left bottom of the card. Next I stamped the dog and the bone and coloured both with Copic markers. I cut them out and adhered them to the card.  I typed the sentiment and adhered that too. A bit of doodling & splattering with a white paint pen finished this panel off. It was then adhered to a white card. 

I used the following stamps (Click to go to the shop):

KTZ 130 (Green dots in the background)

KTZ161 (dog and bone)

KTZ160 (Circles)

KTZ142 (Writing)

KTZ131 (Texture)

Solo 137-04 (Swirl)

Thank you so much for stopping by today ! 

Star Light....

Hello fellow Crafters,

It is Wednesday and that can only mean one thing : A new Challenge over at the Stampotique Designers's Challenge blog. 

But wait, there is something else..... It's my birthday ! Yay !
I will be spending a few days with my sister in law & brother in law which will be nice !

Anyway today's host is the lovely Carol and she wants us to use one or more stars. This is what she said:

"Feature stars this week, one or more on your arty creation. As part of your background or a main feature it's up to you. Just Have fun with the challenge." 

I have made an art journal for Carol's Challenge. 

I tried to create a night sky and used Pan Pastels for this. I stamped the background, although you can't really see that and used a stencil and a whit chalk ink, which was subtle but not as subtle as in the photo. When the ink had dried I used a fixative also to fix the white ink as I wanted to put a layer of clear gesso on. If you don't use a fixative the ink will smear. (I needed the gesso so that I could shade the stars after I glued them on.) 

I drew a star and cut it out five times out of Pattern paper (Bo Bunny - C'est la Vie). I glued them on the page with gel medium and then shaded them with Big Brush Markers. I also used a white paint pen to draw some more stars. 

The rabbit was stamped on white card stock and coloured with Copic Markers, cut out and adhered on some washi tape. I made the sentiment with my old typewriter. 

That was that ! 

I used stamps from the new release:

Boots

Vintage bill

Why not play along with us this week and maybe you will win one of the two $30 vouchers at the end of the month. Just remember, no digi's and only one entry per person per challenge.

Thank you for stopping by ! 

Hope I gave you some inspiration !
