Smell the roses..

Hello everyone,

and Happy Thursday to you. It is Vera Lane Studio Day again and for today's post I have made three projects.
One is an Art Journal page, one is a postcard and the last one is an ATC for this month's swap. Why not play along with us. If you want to then HERE is the link to the FB page. (You have to become a member).

Aren't they cute ! I used a gelli print as a background ad added some stamping and doodling. I also put down some washi tape to put her on. She was resized, printed and coloured with Copics. I then cut her out and adhered her on top of the Washi tape. 

This postcard was made in much the same way. I just added more stamping to the edges. 

You will find the Roses HERE. 

I also made an ATC for this months "Flower Power" swap:

This was a left over piece from a gelli print. I added some washi tape and doodling before adding the flower.  

The flower is part of this set :

Dare to be different

Hello everyone,
Hallo allemaal, 


Today I have a card to share that I made with the latest new stamp brand that is available at Hobbycompleet De Duif; AALL&Create ! Aren't they fabulous !

Voor vandaag heb ik weer een kaart gemaakt met de nieuwste stempellijn die bij Hobbycompleet de Duif verkrijgbaar is; de AALL& Create stempels. Zijn ze niet geweldig. 

For this card I used a piece of Designer Paper that was left over from another project. All I did to it was stamp lightly on the right hand side. Next I stamped the birds on it and on a piece of white card stock. The sentiment was stamped on a piece of the same paper but on the back side. 

The birds were coloured with Copic Markers and then cut out and adhered onto the ones I stamped on the card.  

That was it. 

Voor deze kaart heb ik een restje Design Papier gebruikt. Ik heb er alleen aan de rechterkant lichtjes op gestempeld. Daarna heb ik de vogeltjes op de kaart en ook op een stukje with papier gestempeld. Ze zijn daarna ingekleurd met Copics, uitgeknipt en opgeplakt over die op de kaart. De tekst is gestempeld op hetzelfde papier maar dan de achterkant. 

Materials: 

Ik heb de volgende materialen gebruikt. 

- restje designpapier.

To the moon and back

Hello everyone,
Hallo allemaal,

Today I have made a card for Hobbycompleet de Duif. They have started carrying the AAL & Create line and we are all doing something with these fabulous stamps.

Voor vandaag heb ik een kaartje gemaakt voor Hobbycompleet de Duif met de hun nieuwe lijn nl. AAL & Create. Het hele DT team maakt voorbeelden met deze fantastische stempels.

For this CaS card I have stamped the girl without her balloon and the moon. I then added the string and bow to make it look as if she is hanging from the moon. I coloured the images, stamped the sentiment and then thought it needed something else. So I stamped some clouds on blue patterned paper and cut them out. I glued them on the card as well. I have used sets #5 and #22 for this card. 

Voor deze CAS kaart heb ik eerst het meisje zonder haar ballon gestempeld en daarna de maan. Ik heb beide toen verbonden met het touwtje en een strikje. Nadat ik alles had ingekleurd met Copics en de tekst had gestempeld vond ik dat er nog iets ontbrak. Dus toen heb ik de wolkjes op een restje blauw designpapier gestempeld, uitgeknipt en opgeplakt.  Voor deze kaart heb ik set #5 en #22 gebruikt. 

AAL & Create #5 

AAL & Create #22

Dream together

Hello everyone, 

and welcome to my weekly Katzelkraft Blogpost. For today I made an Art journal page. 

I started with a piece of MM paper and used a stencil and modelling paste to add some texture. When this had dried I painted a layer of gesso over the top. Next I used a blue and a green Lindy's Stamp Gang ink spray to get some colour on it. I added a slightly darker blue and green at the very edge. 

I then stamped the background using similar ink colours and some black. I then stamped the images, once on the page and once on white card stock. I coloured them with Copic Markers and cut them out. I adhered them on top of the ones on the page. I did also add some washi tape under the dog. 

Lastly I stamped the sentiment and doodled a line around the edge. 

I have used the following stamps: 

KTZ160  Tampons Les Ronds  

KTZ131 Mini Background B7

Solo 096 Cercle Grunge

KTZ168 Les Jungles

KTZ161 Les Chiens
