Challenge #113,Things beginning with a B, Beautyful girl, Bird.

 B for Bird and beautyful girl.

How are you all, hope you are crafting.

Because this is a fun challenge.

Something with a letter B makes you look at a different way at your stamps.

So our team leader Gail made a great choise with this challenge.

For this card I used the lovely vintage stamp Annie.

http://www.lost-coast-designs.com/nostalgia.html

Also used the Victoriana set.

http://www.lost-coast-designs.com/sets_notpeople.html

And the dictionary stamps.

http://www.lost-coast-designs.com/dictionary.html

What I used for this card.

Resist fluid.

A stencil with numbers.

A stencil with ABC.

Stazon Timber brown.

Distress oxide:

Iced spruce.

Antique linen.

Ground espresso.

Abandoned coral

Versa magic  Malted Mauve.

White gellpen.

How to make this card.

First I made a mix with the distress oxide antique linen and iced spruce on my craftsheet.

Then I incorperated the colors here and there on the paper.

Keep the colors on the paper light.

Now put the numbers stencil on your background and spray the resist flued.

Dry this very well.

Now with some abandoned coral and a little water you make the rest of the color on the card.

Make sure that you still can see the other colors shine trough.

With the dictionary stamp and stazon timber brown we make some prints. 

I chose to stamp it without the big word on top, but that is for you to decide.

The corner stamp is the stamp from the Victoriana set.

I stamped it half on the edge of the paper and made a corner stamp of it.

Stamped it with the stazon timber brown.

The medalion with the face is stamped with the Versamark Malted Mauve.

Now take a thin piece of paper and stamp Annie with Stazon timber brown.

Color the image with markers or pencils.

Glue her on the card and ad some highlights with the white gellpen.

The word “bird” is written with a stencil.

With the Maulted Mauve I made some splashes on the card.

Glue the card on 2 layers of cardstock, and your done.

 Now the team would love to see what you make with the letter B.

So join our challenge, and maybe you will win some rubber.

condolence card/condoleance kaart

 Today a condolens card. Made with distressink Iced spruce and victorian velvet. 

Also used Distress micro glaze and Derwent graphite pencils.

I tryed to make it vintage looking.

                             

                                               

New challenge to start the new year. Challenge #113 something beginning with B.

                         Hi everybody, first I wish all my visitors a very happy and healthy 2021.

This is my first Lost Coast Designs post for the new challenge.

And its all about the letter B.

So I made this slimline card with the big raven with tree branches stamp.

This stamp is a big one with a height of 3.25 inch.

Love that, I also used the moonface, from the sheet Just faces.

 

 I first sponged with distress oxide, started at the bottum of the card with Musterd seed.

I worked my way up with spiced marmelade, barn door and the last, aged mahogany.

 I stamped the raven with Versamark clear and black glitter embossing powder.

Love that effect on the raven.

I took my black ink and painted the branches with a paint brush.

But for the smaller branches I used an old ink pen.

I stamped the moonface with black stazon.

Now I wanted to fade out the moon a bit, so I went over it with a blending tool and aged mahogany.

It gives it a bit of a misterious look.

 

 I did the same at the bottom of the card.

I hope you liked this little tutorial.

I would love to see what you make for the B challenge.

Please join us at Lost Coast designs, there are prices to win.

Indigiblu's prachtige zeepaardje.

 

 

Hallo allemaal, 

Ja zeker, ik mocht een kaart maken met de schitterende stempel van Indigoblu, 

die ook bij de "Foamtastische huiskamer" word verkocht. 

 

Ik ben begonnen met een achtergrond met distress oxide, victorian velvet, chipped sapphire,

speckled egg en tattered rose.

Ik heb deze kleuren opgebracht met een smalle brayer.

Dan heb ik passende kleuren tombow markers gebruikt om in te kleuren.

Van elke kleur een lichte en een donkere.

Met Wow embossing poeder heb ik de krullen met luchtbellen gestempeld.

Ook de tekst heb ik met dezelfde embossing poeder gestempeld.

Dat geeft nou net dat beetje extra aan de kaart.

Met een tombow marker heb ik de krullen en luchtbellen gekleurd.

Het zeepaardje heb ik gestempeld op aquarel papier, ingekleurd met de tombow markers.

Het zeepaardje uitknippen/snijden en oplijmen.

Voor de afwerking nog even hier en daar aanstippen met een witte gelpen.

En dat was het voor deze keer.

Ik hoop dat jullie het leuk vonden, en veel plezier met de hobby.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy birthday to my lovely daugther.

 My daugthers favorite flower is the sweetpea. 

So for her 35 birthday I made this card with the lovely sweetpea stamp.

The second 1/3 with tumbled glass.

Keep the upper half white.

Stamp with the stazon midnight blue the cityscape stamp.

Now for the snowflakes.

I cut 3 snowflakes off the border stamp.

Masking tape.

I stamped the 4 raven stamp In the middle of the cardstock.

mask it and stamped over it with the 4th dimention stamp.

When the stazon is dry you can start coloring with the markers.

I used watercolor based markers.

If you want to color with alcohol based markers, then dont use stazon. 

Then use Memento.

Now the checker board frame.

Stamp it 4 times with black on white paper.

Cut to fit around the card, diagonally in the corners.

If it doesn´t fit perfectly, don´t worry.

There will be a victoriana element over it.

color and cut them out.

Now glue everything together.

Mijn 1ste blogpost voor de Foamtastische huiskamer.

 

Voor mijn eerste blogpost op deze foamtastisch blog heb ik gekozen voor 2 mediums.

Distress oxide voor de achtergrond en de klassieke distress inkt voor de Indigoblu stempel.

Omdat de oxide’s wat mat van kleur zijn popt de stempel er echt uit.

Alle gebruikte producten zijn te koop bij De foamtastische huiskamer in Goirle.

Werkwijze:

Ik ben begonnen met de Indigoblu stempel  met Versafine onix black op aquarel papier te stempelen. 

Ik gebruikte hiervoor Waterart papier, dit is een fijne aquarel papier die zich makkelijk laat uitknippen en snijden. Heb hem ingekleurd met de distressink’s. Terwijl die droogt ben ik verder gegaan met de achtergrond. Met de DDBD stencil Vintage, heb ik met oxide bundled sage als een soort kader langs de randen gesponst.

En met de oxide ground espresso en de Craft emotions ornament hart bloem willekeurig wat gesponst.
Langs de rand van de kaart heb ik met distressink oranje en bruin hier en daar wat gesponst.
Inmiddels is de stempel droog en kan je hem uitsnijden of knippen. Lijm hem in het midden op de achtergrond. Geef hem wat schaduw met de Oxide ground espresso.
 
En nu dan de tekst, ik heb die gestempeld met de Distress oxide ground espresso.
Craft emotions heeft een serie met verschillende alfabetten. Ik vind ze helemaal geweldig. Ik kan heerlijk zelf mijn teksten samenstellen, en omdat ze clear zijn kan ik ook zo makkelijk de positie bepalen, ideaal.
 
Ik hoop dat jullie het leuk vonden.

Dan wens ik jullie veel stempel plezier.
