Fox & Friends

Hi everyone!

We're heading into the second half of our current Dream Factory challenge

So let me remind you briefly about our movie:

Fantastic Mr. Fox

It's about

Foxes, rabbits, rats, mice, dogs, badgers, hamsters, moles etc, 

Some of them are also suitable for Easter... ;)

I recently was gifted with 3 wonderful Artist Trading Coins from a dear blogger friend. - That inspired me to make some myself.   ...so today I've ticked off another project on my to-do list! :))

To be honest, I had a bit of trouble at first, as they're much smaller than a standard ATC. Not so easy to work on a round shape! But with a bit of patience and perseverance, I managed to make something cute, and I'm rather pleased with this first set of three.

I cut the circles out of backgrounds from the stash and stamped herbs, flowers or texture onto each one. 

The background for the fox was a stencilled one (leaves). 

I stamped on some foliage and texture, glued the fox on and then added a few washi tape scraps. 

The raccoon got a background made with pigment infusions. 

I stamped grass and flowers on it, added washi tape at the bottom and stuck the raccoon on top.

 

Fox and raccoon were stamped on gel print remnants, colored with alcohol ink markers and cut out.

The bunnies were stamped on cardstock and colored paper scraps.

This one was the trickiest! 

I stamped the bunny 5 times on different brown-beige colored paper scraps. Colored in some parts, such as ears, snout, paws or tail, with a white Posca pen and brown alcohol ink pens. Stamped flowers and butterflies onto the gel print background and added washi tape. Cut out the bunnies, glued them on and added washi tape again.

At the very end, I backed the ATCs with black cardstock 

and added a little sentiment to each one. Et voilà!

Katzelkraft - Hello Spring

Hi everyone!

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

I always keep stamped and often already colored images that I didn't use when creating other projects. 

Today I pulled out some of these leftovers to make this spring ATC.

I also never throw away any scraps of paper, even the smallest snippet gets a second chance!

...and sometimes those scraps and leftovers just go well together :))

Hope you like it :)) - See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft creation! :)

Katzelkraft - Easter Egg Hunt

Hi everyone!

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

My first Easter card...

I modified the bunny a little to make it look less cute (because he's a camouflaged egg hunter! ;)) ) and to match the glasses. The headband is actually a scarf that I flipped over and cut off the ends to get the knot. (Note the camouflage here too)! 

I also dressed the rabbit in the coat of one of the Pabos, but you can hardly see it because of the big eggs.

I die-cut the eggs from patterned paper and colored them in some places with alcohol ink markers. Stamped the Easter sentiment on camouflage patterned paper and cut it out. Traced the letters with black fineliner and added some accents with a white Posca pen. 

Before glueing on all the cut out pieces, I spritzed the card with pink and green ink. 

Finally, I stuck a strip of washi tape to the bottom edge and brushed the edges of the card with dark green ink.

Hope you like it. - See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft creation! :)

Find your Wild

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at the Dream Factory

Our movie for this month is:

Fantastic Mr. Fox

This month we're going underground! 

Foxes, rabbits, rats, mice, dogs, badgers, hamsters, moles etc, 

are digging an underground tunnel system to escape some angry farmers. 

Today I did a little masking again to create this one layer card. 

As the new Dream Factory challenge is about foxes and other animals, I decided to spotlight this beautiful fox. The stamp was recently available at Action and it was just too cute to pass by. 

I surrounded the fox with flowers and foliage from Katzelkraft. 

The sentiment + moon and stars are a fragment from a large background stamp. (see below)

The background I brushed with Mermaid Lagoon and Seedless Preserves (Distress Oxide) and then splattered it with black ink. Finally, I colored the fox, flowers and moon with alcohol ink markers and stamped the foliage/grass with Rustic Wilderness (Distress Oxide).
