Dare to be different

Hi everyone,

and welcome to my blogpost. Today I have a tag to share. When I got my DT stash from AALL & Create last week I was very excited about Olga's little 'Quirks' and I had to use them straight away !

Here's how :

I used border stamp #80 and stamped it with VersaMark. I then heat embossed it with white powder. 

Next I smooshed Distress Oxides on my work surface and dragged the tag through it. 

With this result. 

Next I stamped the Quirks from both sets. (#73 and #104)

Coloured them with Copics and added some white detail here and there. Then I cut them out. 

They are so cute ! 

And here is the end result again. The sentiment is from set #6 by Tracy Evans. 

If you want information or want to know where you can buy these stamps then have a look at

Two cards

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my weekly post for Katzelkraft. I am in love with their new stamps and I had this great idea of using one of the cake ladies with the couch and the sheep together on something. Unfortunately I couldn't make it work so instead I made two cards with these images and added a cake stand with a cake !

I used a piece of designer paper for the background of this card. I coloured the images with Copic Markers, cut them all out and adhered them to the paper. The cake stand was stamped directly onto the paper. I did also add some shading at the bottom. 

I used only part of the sentiment from the Teatime set. 

For this card I used these stamp sets:

KTZ200 - Teatime

KTZ202 - Dans ma salon

This sheep must be my absolute favourite from the release. The look on his face makes me laugh everytime I see him. I adhered him onto some vellum and used some washitape to make 'ground' for him to stand on. I then glued the whole thing onto a gelli printed card front. I added the word 'smile' and a clippings sticker by Tim Holtz. 

I used these stamp sets for this card:

KTZ206 - Carpe Diem quotes

KTZ208 - La ferme des animaux

Thank you for stopping by today ! 

Confidence is beautiful

Hello everyone,

and happy Thursday to you all ! For today's Vera Lane Studio projects I have made a postcard and a card with the new Men's wear set and a tag with a golden oldie !  The Men's wear set is available as Collage set and as a normal digital image that you can colour. I have used the blank one and have coloured it myself.

For this card I have used one of the fabulous journal cards. I don't have a journal but they are also great for cards, art journals, tags etc... They are already coloured so very easy to use. I have matted it onto some pattern paper and then glued the image and sentiment on it. 

You'll find Men's wear HERE. 

You'll find the journal cards HERE. 

For the second project I couldn't resist getting Miss Dee out again... 

She is easily in my top 10 of Vera Lane Images. I love the look on her face; makes me laugh every time I see it... 

You'll find Miss Dee HERE

Thanks for stopping by today ! 

Think happy

Help everyone, 

I have another postcard with the lovely AALL & Create stamps today.. I can't stop ! 

I have used Brinley by Fiona Paltridge and also her background stamp set #3. 

I used a brayer, acrylic paints and a piece of white card stock to create the background. I then added stamping and doodling. 

Little Brinley was stamped on the card and also on white card stock. I couloured her with Copics and cut her out. Doing it this way is very easy because you can cut off all the little scribbles. If you then glue the coloured one onto the one on the card it is complete again and looks pretty much perfect. 

I decided to stamp this sentiment several times... 

A close up of Brinley... 

I have used sets #3, #89 and #92.

Good boy

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my post for AALL & Create for this week. I have made a postcard this time...

After finger painting the background I thought is was way too bright, so I toned it down with white paint... I added the black around the edges and the splatters and then stamped the background. 

Next I stamped the dog and coloured him, cut him out and adhered him to the card. Isn't he fun ?

I used the following stamps : 

#3 by Fiona Paltridge 

#89 Gwendolen by Fiona Paltridge

#101 Furry Friends 2 by Olga Heldwein

Unsupervised !

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my second post for Country View Challenges this month. I hope you will play along with us. There is a £20 voucher for the shop to win ! Please make sure to read the RULES though!

I have made an art journal page for Monika's 'be humorous' theme and I hope it will make you chuckle !

I have used all PaperArtsy materials for this apart from the sentiment; I picked that up at the Dutch Art Specially meeting in April and it is by Lost Coast Designs/Carmen's Veranda. 

I have filmed the process of making this and I hope you'll pop over and have a look. It would be even more fantastic if you could subscribe to my channel ! Thank you !
