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.

Hi everyone!

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

My card today shows another vehicle from the recent Katzelkraft stamp release, combined with the slightly older, super fun cow selfie. The idea for this combination is based on the quote I found on Pinterest.

I stamped the cow and masked it. Stamped the tractor and masked it as well. I then brushed the background and added water splatters to the blue area. Stenciled the bottom part with a darker green.

I removed the masks, colored the cow and tractor first with watercolors and then added a darker red to the tractor with alcohol ink markers.

To finish my card, I stamped a few numbers in the left corners and added a torn strip of washi tape to the bottom edge. 

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

Katzelkraft - Comme un air de vacances...

Hi everyone!

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

Today's creation shows the Tuktuk, one of the many stamps recently released by Katzelkraft. - You've probably already seen them on their webside and on social media.

And the best thing is!!! 

From June 7th to June 16th you can get “all stamps” in the Katzelkraft store with a 30% Discount !!!! - Isn't that just WOW! 

It's the perfect opportunity to treat yourself to these great stamps! (see below)

Katzelkraft also have a Facebook fan group where you can see all the wondeful 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!

And here's how I made my card.

For the background, I used a print that my printer messed up. 

Instead of printing multiple colors, it printed everything in green and gray - that's its new way of printing! Lol

As I don't like to throw anything away, I jazzed up this print with yellow, orange, dark blue and a little black. I simply applied the colors with the edges of the ink pad.

You can still see the green through here and there, but I didn't want to cover everything anyway. 

On the lower part, I stuck washi tape to create a kind of road.

I then stamped, colored and cut out the tuktuk and glued it to the background. - Used Aqua-Markers for the coloring.

To finish my card, I stamped the numbers and the sentiment. (Like a little vacation...)

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

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! ;)

We Travel...

Hi everyone!

I have the great honor to be a Guest Designer at the Male Room this month.

The theme is: "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" 

Of course, I immediately thought of the new stamps from Katzelkraft for this challenge! 

I love creating little scenes, so I combined the Citroën 2CV with the house from the Seaside set (also Katzelkraft). As you can see, it works quite well. 

Both images I colored first with watercolors and then highlighted the shadow areas with alcohol markers. I cut them out and glued them onto a background, which was made with Distress Oxides. 

I stamped the quote (Kaisercraft) and cut it into labels, otherwise it wouldn't have fit in terms of size. Glued on the single words and outlined them with a black fineliner.

Hope you like it. Perhaps you will find time to take up the challenge...

See you soon!

Gel Printing with Distress Oxide Inks

Hello, everyone.
Last Saturday, during a workshop I discovered Gel Printing and the Distress Oxide Inks - yes, I know they have been around for a long time.... 😏
To be honest, I'm not the one who experiments a lot - fortunately there are workshops for that!
We made a lot of prints with different colors and images but time was a bit short and I could only finish my card at home.

At first I was a bit hesitant and the first try went totally wrong, but slowly I had a better feeling and the prints got better and better! :)) - Saturday I had no idea how I would use these prints, but today was a good day.....! 

With the addition of the stamps the Gel-printed background looks very effective and I have to say that I really like the result! Let's see, maybe a new passion is awakening - I already ordered the Distress Oxide Inks! 😊
