Toits de Paris

 The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is: Four legged friends.

So of course I went with a cat.  A stamp from Katzelkraft, Simon Says Stamp now carries. It is called Toits de Paris, Roofs of Paris.

I stamped it with Versafine ink  on watercolorpaper and then used watercolors and Salvaged Patina for the  copper roofs. If they are indeed copper. I did one last night and I found it too bright and too many colors, so I stuck to a kind of Sun setting theme.

The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted ( Brushed sentiments).

Mounted the panel with foamtape and adhered it to the cardbase.

AAA Cards Challenges #190: Birthday

 It's the AAA Cards'7th birthday and so we're making birthday cards.

For the occasion we have a nice array of sponsors, so go check them out on the AAA Cards Blog.😻

For my card I inkblended an oval on the cardbase (Create a Smile Basic shapes oval), I've used Oxides Cracked Pistachio and Mermaid lagoon, then splattered with gold.

For the images I've used La Coppia Creativa Elefanti and the flower border is from Coccinelle. The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps Simple Sentiment Strips.

I stamped the images with Gina K amalgam ink and coloured them with Copic markers. Had the Scan N Cut do the magic.

I mounted the flower border with foamtape and then tucked the other images behind it.

Monkey with banana

The Less is More this fortnight is a sketch and whilst I was making the other card and I was looking through my stash of coloured images I also cam across this cute monkey. Also CC Design    (Monkeys set).

I like to color images when I have a break or watch tv, but I also should put them to good use, so just now in a matter of one hour I've used two to  make two cards how cool is that.

I masked the cardbase with all my sizes of masking tape to get the rectangle from the sketch.

Inkblended Distress inks Cracked pistachio and Peacock Feathers and splattered with Lawn Fawn Liquid stardust. Removed the

masking tape and stamped the sentiment. The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps (Simple sentiment strips) and I stamped it with Versafine ink.

The monkey was previously stamped with MFT Extreme black ink and triblend markers, I mounted it with foamtape to the cardbase.

I like the sketch so  much, I might make more, but first I should get dressed and go into the garden.

Updated June 24th:

New home card

 There's a new challenge over at Less is More Challenges: a sketch.

For my card I've used a DigiDoodle Design studio digi of the house, added a black frame and resized it according to the sketch. I left it uncoloured so the Puppy from CC Design would pop.

It is actually a Christmas Stamp (Cosy Critters) but I can see a puppy with the owner's slippers. I stamped it with My Favorite Things Extreme black ink and colored it with Triblend markers, then cut it out. Popped it on with foamtape on the cardbase/background.

The sentiment I've added whilst in Photoshop.

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: Stencil it, showcasing Pink Fresh Studio.

For my card  I masked off a Strip, ink blended Distress inks: Cracked Pistachio, Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers and Mermaid lagoon.

Stamped the  scene with Versafine ink (Studio Light Stamsl353).Studiolight is now available at Simon Says Stamp, but this is an older set. Elongated the border a little as it's not as wide as a standard metric card.

Put masking back and splattered with Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust.
