The big moon

Hello everyone, 

I was very happy to be asked by Abs of AALL & Create to make some samples for the Creative World fair in Frankfurt in Germany which took place on 26th - 29th of January. I will share all of them in the near future. I hope you'll like these new released stamps by Olga Heldwein ! I will list all the stamps, old and new, under the photos. 

This postcard was made by adding Distress Inks to a piece of 6 x 4 paper. I then added water to make it run and get lighter. I stamped the background with black Archival ink and also heat embossed some of the stamping that was done with Distress Oxides. This works really well because they stay wet for a long time. Next I used a stencil and bleached out some circles with water and also used a white pen to go around the circles. The images were stamped, coloured and cut out and then arranged on the card. I used a Clippings sticker by Tim Holtz as the sentiment. 

I have used the following stamps and stencil:

Stamp set #142 Edison Game

Stamp set #22 Moon set

Stam set #171 Moody Kittens

Stencil #45 Digital Bubbles

A simple tag for AALL & Create

Hello everyone,

I have been playing with my AALL & Create stash again! For today I have made a tag but it turned out a little different to what I normally would do. Sometimes you just have to think outside the box ! lol There are some WIP photos so sit back and have a look ! 

So this is it ! And this is how I made it:

I started by cutting a piece of paper slightly bigger than the stamp. I used my stamping platform to stamp this fabulous image onto the tag. 

I decided to just start colouring and see where it was going ! This is my favourite way of crafting. 

When the colouring was finished I added some pieces of book pages in three places, slightly overlapping the image. I then added some paint over the book text. 

When it was all dry I added some modelling paste over the painted areas, using this fab stencil. I also added some Glossy Accents over the light bulbs to make them nice and shiny. 

When everything had dried properly I matted the tag on a piece of black card stock and added some doodling and finished it off with a ribbon. 

I have used just one stamp and one stencil !

Hello everyone,

Clean and simple is not my strong point but I thought I'll give it a go. I took a white panel and added a print of the Bubble stencil on it. You do this by rubbing a Distress Oxide Ink pad over the stencil and spritzing it with water. You can then print it like a stamp. Great technique.. I then stamped, coloured and cut out the little mouse and adhered him to a vellum circle which I then adhered onto my panel. I added the sentiment which was layered in black card stock and voila !

I used the following stamps and stencil for this card :

Stamp set #169 Balance

Stencil #45 Digital Bubbles.

Dream

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my blog where today I am sharing a page in my journal that I made for Katzelkraft.

I made the background with Distress Oxide Inks and when it was finished I didn't like it, so I used my brayer to roll some white paint over it. Much better ! I also added some stencilling with the same Oxide Inks. Next I stamped the background and the images too; the rat and cupcake were also stamped on white card stock. I coloured them and cut them out. 

I added washitape to the page and placed the cake and the rat on top of the stamped ones. Lastly I stamped the sentiment. 

I have used the following stamps: 

Mini Background B7

KTZ206 - Carpe Diem quotes

KTZ169 - Dreamer

KTZ179 - Les rats des villes

KTZ199 - Five o'clock

Thank you for stopping by today ! 

Happy birthday

Hello everyone,

and Happy Thursday to you !

For today's Vera Lane Studio Post I have made a postcard and 2 cards. One birthday card and one 'all-purpose' card ! lol

The first card was made with the this week released "Birthdays" set. It contains this adorable boy and also a girl with a cake on her head ! I just replaced the sentiment from the set with an older one. 

After printing this image, I coloured it with my Copic Markers and placed it onto this card front which was from my stash. I just added some blue paint and then wiped it off again with a baby wipe through a stencil. You get a lovely subtle pattern. I also added some washitape and some doodle lines. 

You'll find the "Birthdays" set HERE. 

This C&S card was made by adding ink to a piece of card stock with the same stencil I used for the first card. I then added washi tape and a piece of a gelli print. I added a sticker by Tim Holtz. The girl from the "Miss Sassy Pants" set  was printed and then coloured with my Copic Markers. I cut her out and adhere her onto the strip of washitape. The panel was then glued on a white card. 

You'll find this adorable girl and her friends HERE. 

And last but not least I have a postcard with the set 'Healing Heart" ! 

Background is a gelli print; I printed the girl and the heart together and coloured her and the heart with Copic Markers. I cut the image out and adhered it to the card after putting down some washi tape. 

You'll find her HERE.

Hello everyone, 

I was very happy to be asked by Abs of AALL & Create to make some samples for the Creative World fair in Frankfurt in Germany which took place on 26th - 29th of January. I will share all of them in the near future. I hope you'll like these new released stamps by Olga Heldwein ! I will list all the stamps, old and new, under the photos. 

I started this postcard by brayer-ing acrylic paints over a piece of 6 x 4 card stock. I then placed a stencil on top and wiped away some of the paint. I also added modelling paste through the same stencil. Next I added stamping and splattering. Next I stamped the dog and the sentiment on white card stock and coloured the dog and the balloon. I then cut him out and adhered him onto the card. The sentiment was cut into strips and added.

I used the following stamps and stencil:

Stamp set #170 Dog Attitude

Stamp set #125 For the Record

Stencil #49 Rota Vitae
