Feestje

Feestje means, party, like a kids party, not a  party of lawyers or something ;-)

I made it for the Male Room Challenge: anything goes and do  not use designer paper...as if..hehe


I made a balloon stencil by diecutting a circle from acetate and then cutting out the "knot" bit by hand.

I've used Distress inks for the balloons and black splatters: black soot, worn lipstick, wilted violet, mermaid lagoon, cracked pistachio and mustard seed.

I've also added gold splatters with the Nuvo Shimmer pen Midas Gold.

the Feestje is from Karin Joan/Marianne Design KJ1728 and I've diecut it from black card

with double sided adhesive behind it, also Marianne design lr0014.

There's also a feestje stamp in the set, but it's rather new (came out today) and I didn't want to ruin my balloons with a fresh stamp, because it's 11pm and I didn't feel like cleaning it and conditioning it ;-)

Glittered Hello

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: No stamps allowed, showcasing the SSS own brand.

After a bit of a panic attack...no stamps allowed!...I thought I could use the SSS Big Hello die and a lot of glitter.

I diecut black craft foam, and stuck in on a cradbase. This type  of foam is sticky on one side, and so I removed the release paper bit by bit to add the glitter in rainbow order, making sure to burnish it well. Then Clean it up and fix it with spray fixative. The heart is also a diecut and treated the same way.

Thank you card

The Less is More Challenge this fortnight is: ONE layer and focus on the sentiment.

For my card I used the Impression Obsession E20163 Thank you sentiment. I stamped it on the cardbase with Versafine Onyx black ink and heat set it. Then I grabbed a dotted stencil and a mask stencil, basically a bit of card of plastic with a circle cutout.
I placed it around the sentiment and applied Versamagic Turquoise gem and Summer Sky.
A few enamel dots in matching colors.

And because they are so quick and easy to make I made 4 more in about 15 minutes :-D They're a bit more vibrant than the first one , but then I'm not entering those hehe

AAA Cards Challenge #134: One Corner + Music, with realtime video

This fortnight our challenge is to use One corner and the optional twist is music.
Our Sponsor is Uniko and I've used the All Occasion Sentiments #6.
Uniko has a fab Equalizer stamp, I don't have it, but I think that is "music".

For my card I've used the Crafter's Companion Marker paper, stamped the image from Katzelkraft (Les Pabos 2) with My Favorite Things Hybrid Black ink.
The Sentiment from Uniko I've stamped with Versafine Onyx black ink.

My first Idea was to partial stamp Celebrate next to a Katzelkraft robot, to say  ce-le-br-ate..like the Daleks from Dr. Who would say Exterminate...but fun instead of death.

Then I remembered one of these characters was playing the violin, so I thought it to be perfect for the Music twist, together with a punched music note.

I colored the image with Spectrum Illustrator and Copic Markers.

For a chance to win an instock stampset of your choice from Uniko, be sure to play along and link up your card.

Enjoy your day

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Channel is: B&W+ one color, showcasing Avery Elle Products.

For my card I used the Avery Elle set called Beside the sea for the sentiment.

I masked a portion of the cardbase so I could inkblend the blue Distress Oxides, I used: Mermaid Lagoon, Broken China and tumbled glass, all ONE color I think, just different hues hehe.
I then too off the mask at the top so I could position the girl with butterflies so the butterflies  come outside the inked portion.The stamp is from StudioLight (Stampsl355) and I've stamped it with Versafine Onyx black ink.
I've used the same ink to stamp the  Creative expressions Magical Meadow on the  lower part of the inked strip.

Then I stamped the sentiment from Avery Ellle, also with Versafine onyx black ink.
Added a few blue glittery enamel dots and thought it done :-D
