Whiskers

Hello everyone, 

Hallo allemaal

For today I have made a card with some stuff that is new to me. It is all by Studio Light which is a Dutch company and they have stamps, stencils, foam stamps etc. 

Vandaag heb ik een kaartje om te laten zien dat gemaakt is met spullen van Studio Light. Helemaal nieuw voor mij ! 

For the background I used a Studio Light basic background stamp (STAMPSL256) and heat embossed it with white embossing powder on water colour paper. I then dunked the piece into Distress Oxide Ink. I used Cracked Pistachio, Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch. I then cut it to size and matted it onto black card. Next I stamped the cat (STAMPMB04) on watercolour paper and coloured her with the same inks. I cut her out and adhered her to the panel. The word 'whiskers' was then stamped over top en the panel adhered to a card. 

De achtergrond is gemaakt met een Studio Light Basic Background Stamp (STAMPSL256). Ik heb deze met wit embossingpoeder bewerkt op aquarel papier. De kleur heb ik aangebracht door het papier in met water verdunde Distress Oxide Inkt te dopen. Hiervoor heb ik de kleuren Cracked Pistachio, Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch op mijn craft mat gedrukt en met water besproeid. Toen het droog was heb ik het kaartje op maat gesneden en op een stuk zwart card stock geplakt. 

Daarna heb ik de kat (STAMPMB04) gestempeld op hetzelfde paper en ingekleurd met dezelfde inkt en een waterpenseel. Ik heb haar daarna uitgeknipt en op  de kaart geplakt. Het woord 'whiskers' is er daarna overheen gestempeld. Het geheel is daarna op een kaart geplakt. 

Als je geïnteresseerd bent in deze stempels en inkt dan zijn ze volgens mij verkrijgbaar bij Hobbycompleet De Duif. 

Thank you for stopping by today ! 

Leuk dat je er was ! 

Monster hug

Hello everyone,
Hallo allemaal, 

Today I have another 'cutie' card. I do like these Gerda Steiner Stamps. They are cute but not cute if you know what I mean.
Vandaag heb ik een 'cutie' kaart; deze Gerda Steiner stempels zijn toch wel erg leuk. Cute maar niet cute als je begrijpt wat ik bedoel. 

I have made this clean and simple card with one of the monsters and part of one of the sentiments. 

Deze kaart heb ik gemaakt met één van de monstertjes en een gedeelte van een van de teksten. 

I stamped the middle one first, then made a mask for him and stamped the two other ones. This way it looks as if the middle one is standing in front of the other two.  

Ik heb eerst het middelste monster gestempeld, toen heb ik een masker gemaakt en daarna de twee andere gestempeld. Zo lijkt het alsof the middelste vóór de andere twee staat. 

I have coloured everything with Copic Markers.

Alles is ingekleurd met Copic Markers. 

Lastly I stamped the sentiment. 

Als laatste de tekst gestempeld. 

I have used the following materials:

Ik heb de volgende materialen gebruikt:

White card stock/wit card stock

Gerda Steiner Stamp set 'Coffee Monster' GSD614

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

Copic Markers: 

YG03-YG25-YG17-YG67

B00-B02-BG02

R02-YR09-YR15-YR04-R29

W1-W3-W5

Leuk dat je er was vandaag !

Two musical cards

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my DT post for Visible Image. Today I have used the fab new stencil 'Grungy Union Jack' and some of the music themed stamps and made two cards.

For the first one I used the good old Distress Inks, a blending tool, water and the new stencil. Doesn't that look fabulous ! I stamped the words Bold and Beautiful on either side and then put the singer in the middle of the two words. I used a stamping tool for this. 

This one was made with Distress Oxide inks, a blending tool and water. I stamped the words and the musician on it using my stamping tool. I then matted the panel on a piece of pattern paper and on a card. 

I have used the following stamps/stencil:

Grungy Union Jack 

Sing

Jazz it up

Own it

Live in the moment

Hello everyone,

Today I have a tag to share for Visible Image. I made this way back early August as I am away in sunny (one hopes) Brighton at the moment!

After cutting a tag out of watercolour paper I dunked it into two of the new Distress Oxide colours; wild honey and twisted citron. Once I was happy with the background I stamped it with one of the flowers of the 'Imperfection is beauty' stamp set. I used the same inks. While the ink was still wet I sprinkled clear embossing powder over it and heat embossed it. 

I then added some white splatters. 

I then stamped the sentiment and the dragon flies from the 'Live in the moment' set. I clear embossed the sentiment also. The wings were then stamped again on book paper and adhered over the ones already on the tag. A ribbon and some doodling around the edges finished it off ! 

I used the following stamps:

Imperfection is beauty

Live in the moment

Stand out

Hello everyone,

and welcome to August ! I have a few posts to share to today and this is one of them. It is my project for Visible Image. I have made a card.

On a piece of white card stock I sprinkled Brusho's. I then used my finger to rub them into the paper. Once that was done I used the sentiment stamp from the set and water to stamp onto the card. This is like magic !!! When I had finished stamping the whole card panel I lightly misted it with water. Not too much because everything will blend into one. I think this is a really cool effect and also the only way I can use Brusho's because, control freak that I am, I hate using stuff that behaves unpredictably... lol 

Anyway, I then stamped the legs on the card together with the sentiment. On a separate piece of paper  I stamped the shoe part again, this time with green ink and when this had dried I added some shading with a coloured pencil. I then cut the shoes out and adhered them on top of the ones on the card. A few white accents finished the panel off. I adhered the panel onto a white card. 

I have used the stamp set 'Teenage Kicks' and you'll find it HERE.

Kiss kiss

Hello everyone,

Today I have a postcard to share that I made for the  Visible Image DT. 

On a pink, yellow and orange gelliprinted background I stamped the mouth and heat embossed it with pink powder. I then used a black and white pen to colour the inside of the mouth and the teeth. 

The X's are also from the set with the lips which is called 'Dare to be different'. 

The sentiment which consists of three kisses was done with the new Alphabet set. 

I have used the following stamps:

Dare to be different

Alphabetical

Time waits for no man!

Hello everyone,

I have an art journal page to share today using the lovely new stamps by Visible Image. I love the alphabet stamps, there are more than one of certain letters so that makes is easy to stamp words like 'happy' etc. I stamped them a little wonky but you can line them up really well.

I used a mop up page from my gelli print stack. I really like these; sometimes they are even nicer than the proper prints. 

 I added some background stamping using Archival ink and the pink clocks were heat embossed with pink embossing powder by WOW. 

The letters are stamped on white paper, I then added the circles around them. There is a circle and a square in the set and the letters fit in there perfectly. I used a punch to cut them out. 

I like my words to be wonky so I stamped them wonky on purpose. I added some white dots with a white pen. 

That was it from me today ! 

I used all three new stamp sets for this page. You'll find them HERE.

You also still have time to play in our monthly challenge where the theme is 'Dimension'. I have put my letters spelling 'time' on dimensional tape so they stand out more.

Use your wings

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my blog where today I am sharing a small art journal page I made for UmWow Studio. As you might know UmWow is a company that sell chipboards. They are nice and sturdy and laser cut.
Here is my project for today :

I went for the vintage style again today. I love doing a bit of everything ! 

I decided my bird cage had to be silver ! So i got out the embossing ink and silver embossing powder. 

Here you can see how that looked after two layers of embossing powder. 

I added some black archival ink to make it a little less shiny and 'new'. 

Here is a detail of my page. I started with a piece of 7 Dots Studio paper from the Writer's Block collection. I added some paint with a brayer and stamped it randomly. I stitched around the border with my sewing machine and added some pieces of paper, thread and fabric. I added some stamped butterflies and a sentiment by Tim Holtz. That finished it off nicely. 

I have used this Chipboard:

You will find it HERE

I have made three samples for the show:

I made this card with a mop up gelli print. Funny how these sometimes turn out even better than the actual prints ! 

A monolith made with acrylic paints and a gelli plate. I also used a lot of embossing powder on this. It is black and a little sparkly. Of course I had to add some splatters ! 

This is the back... 

An art journal page. I made a gelli print for this and added lots of different stamps using inks and white embossing powder.

Born to sing

Hello everyone,

Today for my DT post for Visible Image I have made a card with easily my most favourite VI stamp ever ! It is the singer... I love her.

This was a really easy card to make.. I started off with a piece of white card stock and I stamped the flower on it repeatedly with Distress Oxide Inks. With these inks you can just stamp over the top of the flowers with any colour. It won't turn to mud. 

When this was done I cut out a square to fit my card; I chose the piece I liked best. 

I then stamped the singer 3 times using a stamping tool so she is nice and black. I used the Tim Holtz stamping platform which is ideal for these solid images.. 

I then stamped the sentiment which is made out of two different stamp sets.  After everything was dry and to my liking I matted the panel onto black card stock and then on a white card. 

I used the following stamps:

Born to perform

Sing

Imperfections is beauty

Beep beep

Hello everyone,

Today, over at the Stampotique Designers' Challenge, it is the second week of the challenge with the theme  'For the boys'. I made a postcard :

I had this background in my stash, I think it was made with Lindy's Ink Spray.  I added some stamping to the background and then added the washi tape. 

I stamped the cars on separate white card stock. I coloured them with Copic Markers, cut them out and adhered them onto the card, cutting one in half for more interest. I stuck the halves on either side and fitted the rest in between.

We would love you to play along with us. You could win one of the two $30 vouchers at the end of the month; make sure to read the rules first though...

I used the following stamps:
