Lost Coast designs & Carmens Veranda stamps challenge.

Hi there, Riet here with another jukebox card.

For this card I used the LCD Birds in tree's background stamp,

 and the Jukebox from Carmens Veranda.

I actually made this background for another card. 

But it was not so suitable for that card and I had not used it. 

So I found it very suitable for the vintage jukebox. 

I made the background with destress glaze resist.

And distress Walnut stain and Antique linen. 

I colored the jukebox with watercolor paint. 

I did the metal parts with a silver pen. 

Those parts seem to be made of chrome. 

Too bad it cannot be seen in the photo.

Add some accents with the white gel pen, then cut out and glue on. 

Hope you enjoyd the card. Dont forget to join our challenge.

Indigoblu autumn owl.

De kleuren zijn een beetje op de herfst afgestemd.

Ik heb eerst met distressinkt een vlek op de achtergrond gemaakt.

Daarna met distress frayed burlap de uil van indigoblu gestempeld.

Met een stamping platform, de randen van de uil met een donkerbruine stift aan stippen.

Ik heb daarvoor de Tombow chocolate gebruikt.

De tak heb ik getekent en ingekleurd met tombow stift.

Met distress inkt verdund met water de vlekken gemaakt.

Met een witte gelpen wat afgewerkt en de kaart gemat.

The colors are a bit in tune with autumn.

First I made a stain in the background with distress ink. Then stamped with distress frayed burlap the indigoblu owl. With a stamping platform, edges the owl with a dark brown marker. I used the Tombow chocolate for that. I drew and colored the branch with a tombow marker. Made the stains with distress ink diluted with water. Finished with a white gel pen and matted the card.

#107 Mancave challenge at Lost Coast Designs - Carmens Veranda stamps

Hi everybody, I made this arrow card for the mancave challenge over at the LCD/CV blog.

Now here is how I made it.

Jukebox, http://www.carmensveranda.com/mancave.html

Cardboard arrow

Moddeling paste

Black acrylic paint

Rust colored acrylic paint

Viva Decor inkagold, Ice blue

Distress oxide spekled egg

Distress oxide black soot

 

I drew a large arrow from a piece of cardboard for the background.  

With a diamond plate stencil and modeling paste on the cardboard.

After drying for a while, I painted it black with acrylic paint.

After that I just hit the top with a sponge and inkagold Ice blue so only the diamonds are touched by the spunge.

With some rust-colored paint that I diluted with water,

I made some rusty spots here and there.

I sponged the small arrow with distress oxide speckled egg and with Distress oxide black soot I made some stains on it.

With a marker I wrote "man cave" on it.

I added a bit of black to the edge of the small arrow.

I colored the jukebox with markers.

And I did the tubes of the jukebox in Fluor colors.

I attached the small arrow and jukebox with 3d tape so that they are slightly higher.

 

Well this was the explanation for the Man cave card.

Now come on over and show us your take on the mancave challenge.

We love to see your gorgeus cards and makes.

 Dont forget to read the challenge rules.

 And all have a nice day.

 Hello Lady’s, this is our theme, Lady’s night.

This time I took a completely different path. 

Mixed media is not my thing, but I really enjoy trying new things. 

So I started to paste the papers with glue. 

Then applied the gesso diluted with water. 

I die cut the chipboard strip with the sizzix border.

Made the swirl with modeling paste and a mask/stencil

I also did that on the strip of chipboard.  

With the oxides I applied color to the paper, the modeling paste and the chipboard. 

Colored the edges of the torn paper with the neocolor II, 

stamped the text and showgirls with the Versa magic eggplant. 

Glued everything on and splattered white and black paint.

Hope you enjoyd it.

Ballerina, on flower pressed paper.

Hi there, years ago I had the honneurs of being a Designteam member of Craft Stamper magazine. In April 2012 page 74/77 I wrote a artikel about fresh flowers backgrounds. I love pressing flowers, so I made a card with this technique on the background.

Hallo, jaren geleden had ik de eer om bij het Craft Stamper magazine designteam te behoren. In April 2012 heb ik een artikel geschreven over het persen van verse bloemen op achtergrondpapier. Met deze techniek heb ik dit kaartje gemaakt.

 

LCD challenge #106 Lady’s night

Hi there, today a new challenge over at Lost Coast Designs and Carmens Veranda stamps.

This time its "Lady's night".

So pick up your girl stamps and join the fun.

LCD Bubbles background, LCD 50’sGirl and a wise woman once said,  from Carmens veranda.

I stamped the girl with black stazon and then masked her. 

Torn a piece of paper slightly larger than the text stamp. 

Used it as a mask.

Stamped the bubbles background with stazon black. 

With Distress oxide, chipped sapphire and speckled egg spread on a sheet I lightly sprayed with water on the ink and the part with the girl  I swept in the ink.

Stamped the text in the open white box. 

Because I thought it was very white, I made some spots of ink with my finger. 

I colored the circles with the oxide ink with a brush. 

And I also colored her dress in this way. 

With a black fineliner I made a frame around the white surface and stamped the 

Carmens Veranda, "A wise woman stamp".

I dubbel matted the card, looks so fancy, hi hi.
