A thank you card

Hello everyone,

For this weeks Katzelkraft project I have again used my watercolours in combination with coloured pencils.

I stamped and heat embossed the flower, coloured it and around it with watercolours and then added accents with my coloured pencils. I then stamped the sentiment and mounted the panel onto a white card base. 

I have used the following stamps:

KTZ207 - Holiday quotes

KTZ175 - Les Eglantines

This week at Vera Lane Studio

Hello everyone,

and Happy Thursday to you. For today's Vera Lane Studio Post I have made a postcard and an ATC.

This postcard was made with a piece of watercolour paper and Distress Oxide sprays. I then added some paints with a brayer to get it more the same colours as the girl, adding mostly ochre. I also added a piece of old booktext. The girl was coloured with coloured pencils. 

I have used the newly released set called : 'Heart and Star' and you can find it HERE. 

The second project is a little ATC with one of the collage sheet Fat Cats. I think he is hilarious.. lol 

I added a piece of a doily to the gel printed ATC and some washi tape for him to sit on. The white dots and the sticker finished it off. 

You'll find the Fat Cats HERE. 

Thank you for stopping by today !

Hello everyone,

For today's VivaLasVegaStamps! post I have made something different. I still haven't a lot of inspiration and what I tend to do when that happens, is trying different things. These things aren't always successful ! lol

So, this really, really simple card was made by stamping the dandelion seed repeatedly over the postcard. I then added black splatters. 

Next I stamped Marilyn, coloured her with Copics, cut her out and adhered her on the card. I then stamped the sentiment, matted it on black card stock and adhered that with dimensional adhesive. Lastly I matted the card on black card stock as well. 

I used three stamps for this card:

20368 - Broke and famous

20395 - Banksy Marilyn Monroe

19959 - Dandelion seed

 Other materials:

Copic Markers

VersaFine Clair Nocturne

Memento

white and black card stock

black India ink

Seeker of all things authentic

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my blogpost for Country View Challenges where today sees another challenge start. It is my turn to host and I have chosen the theme of 'blues and greens' because they are on of my favourite colour combinations. You can use them anyway you like as long as blue and green are the main colours. You are free to use black, white, flesh colour and an accent in any other colour ! Come and play along; there is a £20 voucher to be won !

Here's mine:

and here's how:

First I stamped my focal image and coloured it with my Copics. I used a little grey to shade my white flowers and ochre yellow for the hearts of the flowers. 

Next I made my background starting with a layer of gesso. The warped page will get straight again ! I thought to use my Distress Crayons again as I haven't in ages. 

Or course I had to tone it down:

First I used a Tim Holtz stencil and white acrylic paint.. 

Next I used a brayer and some more white paint to tone it down even more. 

Next I embossed a stamp with white powder. All stamps I used today are by PaperArtsy. I'll list them at the bottom of this post. 

Next some stamping and splattering and I added some doodle lines around the page. By this time I declared my background done and all I had to do was add my focal image and the sentiment. 

I have used the following PaperArtsy stamps:

EEA03 - Everything Art 

ESC18 - Scrapcosy

Thank you so much for stopping by ! I am counting on you participating ! 

Keep calm..

Hello everyone,

Welcome to today's Katzelkraft project. I seem to be addicted to the combination of watercolours and coloured pencils these days. I have used them again today:

This is almost a one layer card. I just glued the clouds on. First I did all the stamping on watercolour paper. I then watercoloured everything and when it was dry I added some coloured pencil accents and shadows. Lastly I drew the clouds, cut them out and glued them on the card. 

I have used the following stamp sets:

KTZ215 - Les Barrieres

KTZ222 - Relax

KTZ179 - Les Rats de villes

Thank you for stopping by today ! 

This week at Vera Lane Studio

Hello everyone,

and happy Thursday to you ! For today I have two little projects with Vera Lane Studio Images to show you; I have used collage sheets for both and just made the backgrounds. So easy when you don't have an awful lot of time.

This is from the this week released "back to back" collage sheet. She is already available in the uncoloured version. I just made the background using acrylic paint and a brayer starting with the yellow. I then took a stencil, rubbed a Distress Oxide Ink pad over it, spritzed it with water and used it to print on the page. I like this effect. I then used a white pen to outline some of the flowers. Next I used a pink Distress Oxide and a brayer and added it along the edges mainly. I then took most of it off again with a baby wipe. Lastly I added some stencilling with black paint and doodled a line around the pages. The pages were then ready for the image and the sentiment. 

You will find the collage sheet 'Back to back' HERE

There is also a 'Back to Back' sentiment sheet HERE

The second project is a tag:

To a tag cut out of watercolour paper I added Distress Oxide inks with the dunking method, drying in between the colours. I then added stamping in the same colours. These little guys are from the "top of my head' collage sheet and these are also already available in an uncoloured version. I then added some shading around them with a coloured pencil and found this great sticker that really applied to me that day ! lol 

You will find the "Top of my head" collage sheet HERE.
