De Craftorij Zomer CHallenge - CZC 2016 - day 46 - 50

Hello everyone,

Another 5 cards done ! Yay... Here they are:

Day 46 - cartoon figure

I found this in a magazine from a gallery. It is a picture of a proper painting. I thought it was perfect for this card. I used some Kraft card stock for the base and clear embossed the flags. I coloured the bottom around the image with brown markers. The sentiment I got of the internet. 

Day 47 - Use a photo... 

I found this photo in an antiques market in Brighton in England. I love rummaging through boxes of photos. Although it is also a little sad that family photos end up there... 

I added her on top of some cambric and a doily on a gelli print. The chipboard was heat embossed with copper embossing powder. I added the flags and stamped the stars on them.. 

Day 48 - big, bigger, biggest

Again a gelli print. I stamped the Stampotique guys on book text and gave them a little colour with pencils. I added them to the card on top of some washi tape. 

Day 49 - emotion

I added the white embossed stamp to the gelli printed card as a base for the stamp to sit on. She was stamped on photo paper with StaZon ink. I cut her out, leaving a small white border around her. She was placed on a 'nest' of black thread and stapled to the card. The sentiment came from the internet and was typed, cut apart and glued on the card. I went around the strips with a black pen. 

Day 50 - washi tape

I covered a card in washi tape. and stamped the stars and circles on it. The stars were white embossed. The black circles were stamped with StaZon. The girl was stamped separately on white card stock, coloured with Copics and cut out. I adhered her to the card. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today !!! 

De Craftorij Zomer Challenge - CZC2016 Day 41 - 45

Hello everyone,

Another 5 cards done in the Challenge, here goes:

Day 41 - insects 

I thought instead of using just insects, I'd use this lovely Stampotique "Spidergirl" who has a teeny weeny spider... It is a gelli printed base, what else.... lol and some stamping and colouring with Copics. Her dress is paper pieced. 

Day 42 - Use alumiumfoil

Again a gelli print... a piece of aluminium foil coloured with green alcohol ink and adhered to the edge of the card. I splattered some white paint and stamped the star (VersaMark and white embossing powder)  on pattern paper, cut it out, adhered it to book text and cut it out again. I have a little white border like this. The sentiment was stamped with Versamark and white embossed. 

Day 43 - the Movies

Another gelli print, yes I know, boring... but they have been a godsend as I've had very little time recently with lots of other stuff going on... Marilyn is a stencil which I stencilled with black paint and a blending tool. The sentiment is by her and was stamped on book text, cut out and adhered. Lastly I drew som lines around the edges of the card and stuck some washi tape in the right top corner. 

Day 44 - one word

I chose Hello, because I like the stamp and the letters. I stamped it on yet another gelli print and added some white. I then stamped the background lightly and used inks in similar colours to the background. The animals & lanterns (by cats on apple trees) were stamped directly onto the card with a stamping positioner and again on white paper with different coloured inks. I then added some shading with pencils and glued them on. 

Day 45 - Favourite place

I had this fab stamp by Trish Latimer lying around for a few days and wanted to use it... I did get rid of the text in her dress and replaced it with the white flowers. I used a bigger flower from the same set in the background with blue and green ink. She was coloured with Copic Markers, cut out and adhered to the card. The sentiment says it all I think... 

Thank you so much for stopping by !
