More Singing Penguins: release week 2 for Craftin Desert Divas

Last day for the new October release by Crafting Desert Divas.
I used the Singing penguins digi again and printed it on marker friendly  paper, colored it with Spectrum Noir and Illustrator markers, then cut it out.
I printed the sentiment from the same set onto a panel and cut a strip for the bottom of the card.
For the background I pulled out alcohol inks in purple, blue and green tones and with normal rubbing alcohol I made it look like a water colored panel (I hope anyway). Splattered on white ink and adhered it to the cardbase.
Mounted the sentiment with foamtape too and adhered it to the cardbase, then mounted the penguins on top with foam and liquid glue.
I adhered the music notes with Nuvo Deluxe glue too.

I had also printed and colored the igloo from Chilly time, but I thought it wouldn't fit well, so I left it out.

Craftin Desert Divas release week 2: Merry and Bright (18-349)

For my card this week I used used the Craftin Desert Divas Bright deer again, I printed him on marker friendly paper, cut him out and colored him with Spectrum Noir and Illustrator markers.

I made a panel with the sentiment from the same set at the top, printed it out and then diecut the Scribble snowflake from it and also from silver card.
Then replaced the white with the silver diecut, attached it with tape on the back.

Traced the opening onto the cardbase and applied Oxide inks.
Inserted the deer and secured him to the panel, then mounted the panel with foamtape and adhered it to the cardbase.
Personally I like non traditional colors for Christmas, and these lilacs are just the right frosty hue in my opinion. I did use traditional fairy light colors though lol.I mean the sentiment says it all ;-)...

AAA Cards Challenge #127: kindness

This fortnight the theme was chosen by our DT member Tracie and it's Kindness in honour of Kindness day.

Our sponsor this time is Stamplorations.

I made two cards. I once had a stamp saying "you will never regret being kind" from Impression Obsession I believe, but I gave it away. So I made the sentiment in Photoshop, also for the second card. I printed them on the Crafter's Companion Neenah paper, cut them to size and colored the cat with Spectrum  Noir and Spectrum Illustrator markers.

The other is simply printed and then stamped with Marianne Designs (Eline's brush) with Memento dew drops (Lulu lavender, Elderberry and perfect plum). A few matching enamel dots and I matted it for the cardfront, mounted it with tape runner.

I resisted coloring my cat black again, but I can just  imagine what my cats would think if I tried to bathe them...mayhem will occur and yeah their thoughts will be pretty much..stay kind, be kind,I will have my revenge, etc...:-D Why would one wash their cat I don't know, never have but once when one of my cats came home with strange black goo on him.
The stamp is from Whismy stamps and is called Bath cat and I stamped it with My Favorite Things black licorice ink.

Warm winter wishes/Warme winter wensen

This week I'm sharing a card for Marianne Design/Karin Joan.
I made a  "birds' nest" wreath, well that's what I am calling it anyway.
I diecut three colors of brown with the Marianne Design LR0551.
Then I eyeballed the placement and stamped the red string and sentiment on the cardbase.
Attachted the star wreath layers with glue, only adding glue here and there, so it would look messy and birds nest like.

I stamped the leaves from Marianne Design KJ1715 with Versamark and heat embossed them with Wow embossing powders.
Tucked into the wreath.


Materials used/Gebruikte materialen:
Marianne Design KJ1715
Marianne Design KJ1717
Marianne Design LR0551
Wow! embossing powders: Mulberry mist, Sensational sage and Vintage peacock.
Versamark ink
Versafine Crimson red ink


Deze week heb ik een "vogelnest" krans gemaakt. Ik noem het zo ivm de rommelige takjes, die extra rommelig lijken omdat ik maar sporadisch lijm het aangebracht zodat de takjes alle kanten op kunnen. Ik de krans uit drie kleuren bruin gestanst.
Daarna heb ik het touw en de wens van KJ1717 met rode inkt gestempeld en de krans (LR0551) vastgeplakt.
De takjes van KJ1715 heb ik met Versamark gestempeld en met Wow! embossing poeder "embossed".
