 Spike and Lucy

Brush strokes

Pieces of calligraphy

Pieces of architecture

Butterfly set

Versafine onyx black

Or any other water resistend ink.

Distressink

Wild honey

Evergreen bough

Chipped sapphire

Saltwater taffy

Black Posca

White Posca

Neocolor II

Masking tape.

How I made the card

Use the distress ink and water to create some puddles of ink on your craft sheet.

Run your paper through there.

Dry it with the heat tool.

I imaginatively divided the card into two parts.

I started stamping Spike and Lucy on the right.

You mask them off.

Then with the Chipped saphire and the little dots stamped around it a bit.

And around them the larger circles.

Above that the larger dots stamped with Saltwater taffy.

I also stamped the butterfly in black.

On the left side I first stamped 2x an ornament of pieces of architecture with Evergreen bough.

On top of that with the letters of the Pieces of calligraphy in black.

On the extreme left edge I stamped the grunge border of the brushstrokes sheet with black.

With neocolorII colored yellow in the circles and with green around it.

Made a shadow around Spike and Lucy with a dark blue.

I stamped the text "Dogs hair" from Carmens Veranda on white paper.

I then cut the text into pieces and divided it over the left side of the card.

With the black Posca marker I made edges around it.

With the white posca I gave the butterfly some accents.

Now with a black neocolorII on the corners to give some accents.

Just matting with white and black and you're done.

Now its your turn, come and join our challenge.

And have a chance to win some new stamps.

Good luck to you.

Challenge #161 Make it funny.

Hi there, here is my DT tag for the "Make it funny" challenge.

I love the words and phrases of Carmens Veranda.

They are so funny, they always make me laugh.

Take the time to read them and you will see how funny they are.

For this tag i chose the "cats birthday" text.

I made this tag with the sweet "White cat" stamp from Carmens Veranda stamps.

He/she is so cute,  just look at those sweet eyes.

The raven on top is one I cut off from the Lost Coast Designs crows border.

These borders are so long that you can easily cut a piece off.

This way you have a border and a separate stamp.

I sprayed the tag with sprays from Dylusions and a stencil.

I have to admit that the stencil has faded a bit, but I still liked the result.

At the bottom I stamped a stamp from the Brush strokes sheet with black ink.

I did the same with the text and the crow that is on the text.

I colored the White cat with Tombo markers.

I put Glossy accents on the eyes of the cat, so they stand out even more.

Glue the tag on black cardstock and give it a nice bow.

That's it for this time, and don't forget to join the challenge.

There is a nice prize to be won, and you can also participate with other stamp brands.

See you next time.

How to make the card.

I started with an acrylic heart.

If you don't have that, you can also cut a heart from an accitate sheet.

With the distressink Fired brick and Musterd seed I printed the heart on the paper.

Keep repeating that until you are satisfied with the result.

Make a paper mask.

Use the outside of the mask.

And make the black hearts on the red heart with

 a stencil with small hearts and distressink Black soot.

Leave the black soot on the stencil and spray some water on it.

Stamp with this top left and bottom right.

With the waterproof black fineliner you can now make winding lines along the heart.

Color the hearts red with the posca marker.

Stamp frank and his bride on a piece of paper.

Color them with markers or pencils.

I made her dress to a polka dot dress and Franks suit to a pinstripe suit.

Stamp the hearts and curls border and color the hearts red with the red posca marker.

Sprinkle the hearts in the border with red glitter.

For the corners i used a border from the brushstrokes set.

And did the same under the feet of Frank and his bride.

This way they look more grounded.

"Love is awsome" is from the misc words sheet.

The word "is", i cut of from sisters.

Draw some black and red lines around the words.

And run the red inkpad along the edges of the card.

Glue the card on a black cardstock and you are done.
