Hey, Chick

Hi everyone!

We are entering the second half of our current challenge at the Dream Factory.

 

Our Movie: 

Chicken Run 

Chickens, chicks, ducks, eggs, flowers, colorful or whatever else you can think of, 

__________But no Bunnies !!_________ 

I made the clouds using a homemade stencil and Salty Ocean (Distress Oxide). 

To make the straw, I first sponged the area with Fossilized Amber (Distress Oxide) and then used the edges of the ink pad to make strokes in all directions. 

I stamped the chicks and colored them with alcohol ink markers. Cut them out and added them to the card. 

Stamped the sentiment and added a strip of washi tape to the bottom.

Added some Wink of Stella to the metallic parts of the scooter.

Who let the Frogs out!

Hi everyone!

I'm back with a new Katzelkraft project.

Used slightly older stamps from Katzelkraft for today's card, because these funny frogs had to get some fresh air!

First I stamped the three frogs. I started with the top frog and masked it. Then I stamped and masked the middle frog and did the same with the last frog. - Kept them masked for the next step.

I used a selfmade stencil to dab on the clouds in the background. Sponged the lower area with blue ink and stuck a few torn strips of washi tape under the frogs. Took off the frogs' masks and colored them in with alcohol ink markers. Stamped the insects and the sentiment.

Houston,

Hi everyone!

I'm back with a new Katzelkraft project.

Used the funny chimpanzees and a few other recent stamp sets from Katzelkraft for today's card. (see below)

Despite a lot of masking and sponging, it was actually done quite quickly.

After stamping, 

I first colored the chimpanzees with watercolor and then added some darker accents with alcohol ink markers. Masked them and sponged the ground and sky. Stamped the stump, grass, flower, plants and bananas.

Added some liquid pearl dots to the flower. Stamped the sentiment.

A Wonderful World

Hi everyone!

Time for a quick reminder about our current challenge at the Day of the Month Card Club

We're celebrating

National Panda Day

DotMCC is also celebrating its 5th blog birthday this month. 

There is something to win. Please check it out on the challenge blog.

I found the stenciled background in my stash and tought it was a perfect fit for this card.

For the bamboo sticks I glued washi tape onto paper and then cut it into strips. I stuck the sleeping panda in between, placed the second one next to it and added a tiny butterfly (Penny Black) near it's nose. 

I used the same washi tape for the grass, but tore it into narrow strips.

The sentiment is from Katzelkraft. Stamped on parchment and then torn off along the writing.

Spring Chicken

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at the Dream Factory

The movie for this month is...

Chicken Run

Easter is coming soon! - But this time without the Easter bunny!

Chickens, chicks, ducks, eggs, flowers, colorful or whatever else you can think of, 

But no Bunnies!

For this ATC, I used two of my very oldest stamps - a French hen (wood stamp / Penny Black) and a wire fence (BoBunny).

I stamped the French chicken, colored it with alcohol markers and fussy cut it. Stamped the wire fence on a piece of scrap paper that I had backed with black cardstock. Adhered the chicken and stamped a sentiment (Stampin'Up). Added the Happy Birthday label. That's it!

Have Fun!

Not all those who wander ...

Hi everyone!

It's Katzelkraft day again :)) 

I don't think I'll ever get tired of playing with these fab stamps...

These funny fellows are from one of the two recently released A6 stamp sets from Katzelkraft. 

A card made pretty quickly. - That's the good thing about silhouette stamps, you don't have to color them. :))

I bordered the bottom of the card with a piece of torn paper and sponged the open area with Mowed Lawn (Distress Oxide). Stamped the animals and then the grass and flowers. Highlighted the blossoms with liquid pearl dots. Colored the wings of the dragonfly with metallic watercolors. 

Finally, I added a cloud-shaped die-cut at the top and stamped the quote with single letter stamps.
