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.

Paris

Hi everyone! 

I still had an Eiffel Tower left over from the last card swap. 

I used it today to make a romantic card.

 

I used the paper piecing technique on the girl and the umbrella. I stamped the girl on different patterned paper or paper scraps and cut out the parts I needed. I put them together and stuck them next to the Eiffel Tower. 

The background is again one of those pre-made ones. Behind the girl I stamped a cloud with the word LOVE in different languages. The word PARIS is from Katzelkraft.

Have a great day!!

Katzelkraft - Coucou!

Hi everyone!

It's Katzelkraft day :)) 

Today's creation shows two funny lizards. They come from one of the eight stamp sets that have recently been released by Katzelkraft. You've probably already seen plenty of them on their webside and on social media! 

Katzelkraft also have a Facebook group. There you can see all the great creations of the multiple followers, as well as those of the Design Team members. Sign up, - you'll be amazed at the fabulous creativity of all these people!

Next week is Valentine's Day. - I made a funny ATC for this...

The background for this little scene comes from one of several experiments I did with stamps and colors. I cut it to ATC size and arranged a few leaves. Some of them are stamped, others are cut out and glued on.

I colored the lizard lady with alcohol ink markers, cut it out and glued it behind the banana leaf. 

She squints at an attractive lizard boy, which scales I colored with a green glitter pen. - Very shiny but sadly not visible on the photo. The 'coucou!' is from AALL&Create.

If you would like to see more of my Katzelkraft creations,

See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft inspiration! ;)

Hanging out with you

Hi everyone!

Another ATC, today for fun. - I think I'm on the way to succumb to these little things more and more..... :)) 

I dug out another bit of gel print and stenciled it with large and small hearts. Then I stamped and heat embossed the cats. Stamped some background text and XO's. Added a little Gesso here and there. Cut out a few more hearts and added them. Stamped the sentiment and backed the ATC with black cardstock. - Hope you like it :)

Hi everyone!

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

Our Movie is: Squared Love 

This month we are inspired by the theme of Valentine's Day. 

Today it's very girly, as you can see. 

I like pink a lot, but I'm not as pink as the tag might suggest! Hahaha 

It's just because I wanted to take on Isa's challenge: 

Monochrome - only one color, no white, no black!

I sponged, stenciled, stamped, heat embossed,

added die cuts and glitter cardstock,

applied gel pens to highlight....

.....used water and bleach to lighten some spots, 

and lastly tied a wool thread to the tag.

The quirky animals are from Katzelkraft.

It honestly wasn't easy working with just one color, 

but I think it's worth looking at. What do you think?

Hi everyone!

Today starts our 100th challenge at Dream Factory! 

The movie for this month is: 

 

50 First Dates

We'd like to thank you on the occasion of our 100th challenge with some nice stuff! - Please go to the Challenge Blog, there you will find all the details about the Challenge and what you can win!

This time I made a tag. First I stenciled the hearts and heat embossed them in white. 

Stenciled the big heart in pink, masked it and sponged the rest of the area with blue Distress Oxide. 

Stenciled again some little hearts in darker blue with the firts stencil. Stamped with background stamps here and there and sponged the edges with dark blue and black ink. Used a paper towel to wipe the ink off the stenciled hearts so they would appear white. Added some doodles to the big heart.

I stamped the young couple on plain paper, colored them with watercolor and cut them out. Embossed the sentiment and cut it out as well. Pasted the pieces onto the tag. Hope you like it.
