I love my pets

Hi everyone!

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

 

Our Movie: 

Pets 

From cats and dogs to mice and snakes, our beloved pets are under the spotlight this month! 

Isn't she lovely with all her beloved four-legged friends around her?

I placed this cute scene on a piece of designer paper that I photocopied. 

Yes, you read me right! I don't like cutting into beautiful papers! - at least not in some of them! 

Besides, my printer sometimes makes weird colors, which can turn out to be very interesting. I've already had some nice and not-so-nice surprises! LOL 

I highlighted some places with a bit of Crushed Olive and Prize Ribbon (Distress Oxide), then stamped paws and circles on the left. I colored the girl and the two dogs with alcohol ink markers, cut them out and glued them to the ATC. Highlighted a few parts of the dog on the left with a white gel pen.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment, replacing the word cat with pet. 

Have Fun!!

Hi everyone!

I'm back with a new Katzelkraft card :))

No big effort today! 

I simply stamped the giraffe on a background created with Distress Oxides. 

It couldn't be simpler!

Hope you like it. - See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft inspiration! ;)

Katzelkraft - The purr-fect crime?

Hi everyone!

I'm back with a new Katzelkraft card! ...showing two more new stamps! :))

I had actually made this background for another card, but in the end I didn't like it at all, at least not for the card it was intended for. For today's card, however, I thought it was super cool! It's a bit dark, but let's assume the little detective is investigating the crime scene at night. 

I first painted the black background with gesso, leaving the edges blank.

After the gesso was dry, I placed a small amount of dark blue and yellow acrylic paints on the card. I spread these over the card with the help of an old credit card. On the still wet yellow stripe, I put a little bit of red paint and mixed it with the yellow to get the orange. I let everything dry well and then added splotches of red, white and black paint. - Let it dry again.

I stamped the VespaVespa once on the card and once on Bristol paper. Colored it with alcohol ink markers, cut it out and glued it to the card.

For the detective, on the other hand, I used the paper piecing technique. I stamped the hat and coat on Design paper, the cat on Kraft paper and the shirt on Bristol paper. I then cut everything out and glued the parts back together. Lightened the face, paws and tail with a white pastel crayon. Colored the tie with red. Stamped the detectiv onto the card and added the one I'd paper pieced.

Finally, I added the sentiment which is part of the detective stamp and made a couple of white gel pen lines on the Vespa.

It sounds like a complicated card, but it's not!

Hope you like it. - See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft inspiration! ;)

Just For You

Hi everyone!

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

We're celebrating

Vappu

Anything Goes with the theme of Spring!

I was actually thinking of poppies, but I used more yellow than black for the stamens. So it's a new variety of poppy.
After I had stencilled the background and the flowers, I stamped a background text and numbers (AALL&Create). I made some black ink splatters and then added the sentiment (Katzelkraft).

The tiny sentences along the flower stems are handwritten.

Happy Spring!

Hi everyone!

Let's go for a new challenge at the Dream Factory

The movie for this month is...

Pets 

From cats and dogs to mice and snakes, 

the next 4 weeks are all about our beloved pets!

I made this ATC with one of the brand new stamps from Katzelkraft. 

The background is a leftover piece I found in my stash. I tore off a small piece on one side, backed the larger piece with kraft paper and then stamped the image onto the ATC. 

I stamped the cat again on a yellow patterned paper and the hen on a red one. I cut these out and stuck them over the already stamped image. Finally, I added some flowers at the bottom - also die-cut from patterned paper and highlighted with alcohol ink markers.

Have Fun!

Katzelkraft - Never ride faster than...

Hi everyone!

I'm back with a new Katzelkraft project :))

Needed a birthday card for a young guy who will soon be switching to a more powerful bike - this motorcycle from the new Katzelkraft release was just perfect for!

 I kept the card very simple. For the background, I applied gray acrylic paint to the card and used an old credit card to spread it over the card. I then stamped the motorcycle. I only colored the gas tank and the fender of the bike and kept everything else in shades of gray.

The splatters around the motorcycle are part of the stamp - I added the smaller ones above.

I stamped the quote (found on Pinterest) with single letter stamps, cut it into labels and stuck them on.

 Finally, I scrawled shadows under the bike.

I also embossed the left edge of the card before gluing it to a blank card. It looks like a tire pattern and I really like that.

Hope you like it. - See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft inspiration! ;)

Katzelkraft - One Brave Thing

Hi everyone, 

It's Katzelkraft day! :)

The dog wanted to play a trick on the rat and now he has to run like hell. Ha ha ha

I hope you like the funny scene I created with the "You are Purrfect" set from the Dainius collection and the "City Rats". I used watercolors and alcohol ink markers for coloring. I spread washi tape shreds on the ground but you can hardly see them because I colored them with Distress Oxide inks. The sentence I stamped with single letter stamps.
