Find your Wild

Hi everyone!

It's time again for a new challenge at the Dream Factory

Our movie for this month is:

WILD

This month we want you to be inspired by the movie poster (see below)

You can show landscapes, nature, mountains, forests, 

animals living in the wild, or simply use the word "WILD".

It's been a while since I last used a gel print as a background...

Today I found a suitable piece that I turned into a tag.

I stamped the tag with a few fir trees (Katzelkraft). I then placed mountains, the moon, and stars (Scrap Plaisir) in the background. Brushed the edges of the tag with Chipped Sapphire (Distress Oxide). Used white Posca pen to work on the moon and the mountain slopes, and alcohol ink markers for the shaded slopes.

The sentiment is part of a large stamp (Woodware). I simply tore off the words after stamping them on light purple paper. Glued them on and finally, attached a cord to the tag.

Hi everyone!

It's still time to enter the current Dream Factory challenge. 

This month, 

We want you to highlight or put something in focus 

Apart from the fact that cutting out the flamingo was quite fiddly, the ATC itself was very quick to make. 

I stamped the rays in the background onto white paper using Distress Oxide Wild Honey and smudged them a little with water. I tore it off on both sides, glued it onto black cardstock, and extended the rays with a white Posca pen. I then stamped the word “Smile” and three stars in white. Glued on the flamingo and stamped the sentiment. Done!

Happy crafting!

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at 613 Avenue Create! 

The theme is Anything Goes w/optional twist: "Summer Fun".

(create something "Fun Filled")

It's finally vacation time for many of us!

What could be more fun than lounging on the beach, diving into the refreshing water, 

or simply floating on the waves in a floatie, sipping a cool drink.

At least, that's what these three mean by vacation...

I stamped the animals, colored them with alcohol ink markers and cut them out. 

For the background, I used a light blue paper (water colored) and two pieces of design paper. I dry embossed the blue-green (actually blue-green striped) with a wave pattern and highlighted the waves with a white Posca pen. 

I simply tore off the orange paper. This created a white border that forms the shoreline.

I stamped the starfish on design paper and cut them out. Drew the sun on yellow cardstock and cut it out as well. Finally, I glued all things in place, then stamped the sentiment and a cloud. 

Hope you like it.

Hope to see you play along with 613 Avenue Create 

Have a nice day!

Hi everyone!

We're heading into the second half of our current Dream Factory challenge, and I wanted to give you a quick reminder on our movie

 

Spotlight

Highlight or put something in focus

 A very simple card today, on which I wanted to make the quote the focal point.

I just stamped the world map (Artemio) onto crumb cake cardstock (Stampin'Up) and added a quote printed on vellum (Deco Time). I then glued the panel onto a blank card and voilà!

Wishing you a nice weekend and lots of time for crafting!

Wow, it's so hot in here that we could devour several ice creams at once...

First, I stamped the ice cream cones several times on the card. Then I stamped the ice creams in different colors (flavors). Next, I watercolored and splattered the background with Salty Ocean (Distress Oxide). 

I then stamped the sentiment, cut it out, and adhered it. Used foam tape for the words "Super" and "Cool," to make them stand out from the card. 

Finally, I jazzed up the colors of the ice cream with alcohol ink markers and Posca pens.

At the beach...

Hi everyone!

I'm back with another ATC. This time I tried something different...

Today I tried my hand at a collage....

I took the various paper elements from a bookstore catalog. - By chance, 

many of the book cover illustrations were suitable for an ATC in terms of size. 

Some of them I cut out and others I just tore to size, such as a part of the beach and the clouds.

The quote I stamped on white paper, cut it up into individual words and pasted it to the ATC.

What do you think about this collage?

Hi everyone!

This is to remind you that the current Dream Factory challenge still runs until July 14th.

This month's movie is:

 

DRIVE

Anything that has Wheels Goes. 

There were two of the animals I had used for this card left, so I made an ATC out of them today. 

The background for the ATC is a scrap of a paper I created for this card. 

Apart from that, I only used a scrap of the paper from which I had cut out the animals (the design paper is printed on both sides) and added a few touches of alcohol ink markers to the bikes. 

I stamped the sentiment with alphabet stamps, embossed it and cut it to labels.

The background stamps are from Katzelkraft (Unfortunately no longer available due to store closure).
