Unfurl Your Wings

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at 613 Avenue Create! 

The theme is: Things with Wings 

(create something featuring a bird, butterfly or bug))

Alternately "Anything Goes"

This is a 10-minute card! The background was in my stash, 

so I simply stamped the butterfly onto a botched color experiment, cut it out, and glued it on.

The butterfly looks a little blurry, which is due to the reflection of the Wink of Stella I used to brush it.

Hope to see you play along with 613 Avenue Create 

Have Fun! 

...and thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!

We're heading into the second half of our current Dream Factory challenge, and I would like to briefly remind you about it.

 

Sing

This month's theme is 

“Anything Goes with Animals.”

...any kind of animal!

These days, I enjoy making ATCs. These small cards are really fun to create.

For this one, I used the silly cats and dogs from Your Next Stamp. I colored them with alcohol ink markers and cut them out with scissors. Glued them onto a fun background and added an embossed sentiment. The crown on the dog's head is made of texture paste. I colored it with alcohol ink markers, cut it out, and embellished it with a few rhinestones.

Hi everyone!

I would like to remind you that you still have time to participate in our Penguin Challenge.

Our brand-new challenge blog 

"The Little Things" 

focuses on small card formats, 

such as ATCs, tags, Memorydex cards, bookmarks etc.

Pulled out my beloved Katzelkraft penguins to create this ATC.

I colored them with alcohol ink markers. The background is a scrap of design paper.

The sentiment is from LorabaiLora.

Thanks for stopping by :))

Joyeux Anniversaire!

Hi everyone!

February marks the first birthday on my calendar, and I need to start making some cards. 

This one is for my son's girlfriend.

I stenciled the background with roses and leaves, using the colors “Picked Raspberry” and “Mowed Lawn.” Die-cut two branches, one from gold cardstock and one from green design paper, and glued them together. Die-cut the words from black cardstock, glued them onto white cardstock, and cut them out along the outline with scissors.

I haven't used an embossing folder in a while, so I decided to get out my brand new one!

I embossed a small corner of white cardstock and placed it directly under the die-cut branches to create a smooth transition to the stenciled area. This also helped to highlight the sentiment nicely.

Finally, I stuck a few enamel dots next to the birthday sentiment, cut the panel to size, and pasted it onto a blank card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at the Dream Factory

Our movie for this month is:

Sing

A fun movie full of animals and cool music!

This month's theme is 

“Anything Goes with Animals.”

This is what I came up with!

I stenciled a sheet of paper with brown tones, punched out a square, 

then backed the opening with a brushed background.

I arranged three of the animals inside the frame and then placed the foliage around them. The meerkat I placed outside the frame, next to the embossed sentiment. The animals are colored with alcohol ink markers.

All animals are from Katzelkraft – Did anyone recognize the pig?

I altered it to look like Pumbaa so it would match the meerkat and the sentiment. LOL

As luck would have it, 

our little crafting group was organizing a card swap on the theme of zoo or jungle at the same time. 

So I combined the two and made a total of eight cards.

 

It was fiddly work cutting out all the animals, sticking each tiny leaf onto the branches, 
die-cutting and brushing the foliage...   ...but afterwards it was really fun putting it all together!
