Vespa - What else!

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at the Dream Factory

Our movie for this month is:

Drive

This month we say: 

Anything that has Wheels Goes. 

...think outside the box! ;))

I stamped the Vespa once on a blank card and once on patterned paper. Cut out a part of the Vespa from the patterned paper and stuck it onto the Vespa that was stamped on the blank card. I then stamped the girl and colored her in with alcohol ink markers, trying to match the color of her pants on the poster. Cut out the girl and added her next to the Vespa.

For the background of the card, I scribbled with aqua markers on acetate, smudged lightly, sprayed with water and then applied the color onto a few areas. Used a brush and the same markers to add a little more color. 

I die cut the letters for VESPA from peach-colored foam and lightly inked them with purple alcohol ink markers. Pasted them to the card and stamped the “What else !” 

Finally, I added a narrow strip of washi tape to the bottom of the card.

Happy Birthday

Hi everyone!

I have the great honor of being this month's guest designer at Try it on Tuesday. 

The theme is: 

In the Garden 

I immediately thought of the beautiful design paper pad that I bought 

months ago and never dared to cut out a piece. ...Now it's done!

I liked this idea because the flowers shown on the card 

are also blooming or ready to bloom in my garden right now.

I cut a panel of the design paper in two with a die, then pasted the two pieces to a blank card, leaving a space for the sentiment. The small butterfly ist cut out with scissors and added. To finish, I stamped the sentiment and stitched the borders with a stitching wheel. Hope you like it. 

...see you soon at "Try it on Tuesday" ;)

Best Wishes

Hi everyone!

I am delighted and honored to be a guest designer at A Place to Start for the months of June and July.

The theme for June is

ANYTHING GOES w/OPTIONAL TWIST: 

Recycle

I'm a big tea drinker, so I recycled one of these bags, to stick to the twist of the challenge. 

First, I laid the open bag flat and coated it with a layer of gesso. After drying, I stamped the flowers and leaves, then colored them with Posca pens and alcohol ink markers. I also added some golden accents to the flower petals. 

I then created the background with blue, white, red and black acrylic paint and left to dry. I stamped the sentiment on the teabag label. Glued the teabag and label on a blank card, then stamped a background pattern in both corners of the card. Hope you like it.

The contents of the teabags are also recycled, which makes my plants and vegetables happy! 🌻🍅😎

Hope to see you play along at A Place to Start ...

Masculine cards aren't always easy to create, but this one was done in no time!
