March Tag: Faux Mosaic

Here is my March tag for the 12 tag  challenge

on the blog of Tim Holtz.

Every month he shares a tutorial

and we can link our tag to his blog.

Many variations of the same theme,

this is so inspirational.

This month it is a faux mosaic theme.

I changed the butterflies into birds.

Made my tag more of a spring theme.

Here you can see what I have used to make

this tag. Stamps, birdcage sizzix die, sunray small

embossing folder, Key lime pie glimmer mist, distress ink,

 tool, stain and blending tool. Inside the nest is added 

a little raffia and on the metal flowers a green gemstone.

I also enter this card for the Faux Technique challenge on the 

Gingersnaps Creations Blog.

Have a creative day!

and stamps by Hero Arts, Stampin'Up! and Michael Strong.

Here is a tutorial on how I made the background:

Supplies:

glimmer mist

hairy fibres

white cardstock

heat gun

and a pizza box

Take your hairy fibre and roll it around

the paper you are going to spray.

Put the paper in the pizza box,

shake your glimmer mist

and spray!

Heat set the color before you take of

the fibres.

This is the result of when the fibre is taken off.

Feel free to use this background for your creations!

Cowboys

Over at Gingersnap Creations is a challenge

for making cards with  a "cowboy" theme

and Technique Junkies are sponsering

so here are some of my creations, using

the Faux leather technique.

This technique can be found on the

"Emboss or Die" special CD.

For this card I found a picture on the

internet and the tag and all the other papers

are by Club Scrap.

The inside text i made with the computer.

I found this free font on www.dafont.com

an is called cottonwood.

The cowboy theme is great for male cards. This is one

with a rodeo poster I got of the internet.

Printed out the sentiments and some stars

as an extra touch.

Hope you are inspired to add your card to the challenge and

win some TJ goodies.

Have a creative day!

Botanical

Deze kaarten heb ik gemaakt voor de Gingersnap Creations GC51 "Botanical". De stempels zijn van Club Scrap evenals het papier. Het idee van de kaarten is n.a.v. een Technique Junkie techniek die heet  "Triple Mosaic" (juni 2006), waarvan ze bij Club Scrap dit onderstaande filmpje hebben gemaakt. Zo heb je in een wip 3 kaarten. De techniek van het lampionnetje vind je een paar berichten hiervoor.

Papier is o.a.van de Henna colectie en de roos stempel is van Simply Beautiful.

GCSP2: CASE a CAS

Op het blog van Gingersnap Creations zijn allerlei uitdagingen voor de hele maand. Ik heb gekozen voor de uitdaging waarbij je je laat inspireren door een kaart van Ali Manning.
Zij had een aantal kaarten gemaakt met het thema: Let the paper shine en hieronder zie je wat ik er van gemaakt heb. Zilver en paarelmoer papier gebruikt. De achtergrond met de cuttlebug, de Paisley stempel van Michael Strong en de tekst van Club Scrap.On the Gingersnap Creations Blog there are all kinds of challenges going on. I chose here to do the challenge of casing an Ali Manning card. She did some cards in the theme: Let the paper shine and here is my contribution. I used some silver and mother of pearl paper. The background is done with the cuttlebug and the paisley stamp is by Michael Strong and the sentiment by Club Scrap.

GC36 Resolutions

Deze tekst heb ik in een reclame blaadje gevonden. Is het niet een super geweldige tekst? Natuurlijk meteen ingescanned om te gebruiken en heb hem hierbij gevoegd zodat iedereen die dat wil hem ook kan gebruiken.
Deze kaart is gemaakt voor een challenge op Gingersnaps met het thema "voornemens" voor het nieuwe jaar. Nou, dat doe ik eigenlijk nooit, want je houdt je er toch niet aan, maar om me voor te nemen er een prachtig jaar van te maken leek me toch wel een goed idee! De grote stempel is van Zettiology en de bloem in de hoeken is van Club Scrap evenals het papier. Ik heb ook wat met een zwarte pen getekend en met een witte gel pen.

This text I found in an advertisement. Isn't it a great text? I scanned it right away for future use and I added it here for you if you want to use it too.
This card i made for a Gingersnap challange with the theme "resolutions". Well, I am not so good at resolutions, but I want to make the next year into a wonderful year. So I made this card with a big stamp by Zettiology and a flower by Club Scrap. I also did some drawing by hand with a marker and a white gel pen.

GC35: Color Challenge - Purple, Gold & Green

Deze kaart is gemaakt voor een kleurenuitdaging op het blog van Gingersnaps Creations. Ik heb de nieuwste stempels gebruikt van Club Scrap: Ornamental. Gestempels met stazon black en ingekleurd met distress ink van Ranger. De tekst heb ik met de computer in geel op vellum geprint en er meteen wat goud embossing poeder op gedaan. Daarna verwarmd met de heat gun en dat lukt dus prima. This card is made for a color challange on another blog: Gingersnap Creations. For this I used the latest new stamps by Club Scrap: Ornamental. I stamped with Stazon black and colored with distress inks by Ranger. For the text I printed the sentiment in yellow on vellum and immediately sprinkled some gold embossing powder on it and heated it. And this works real well.

GC08 April Color Challenge

Ik heb weer een leuk blog met uitdagingen gevonden: Gingersnap Creations en daarvoor heb ik meegedaan aan de kleur uitdaging van de maand april. Hiervoor heb ik een nieuwe technique van de Technique Junkies gebruikt: Bingo Blast en stempels van Michael Strong. I just found my way to another interesting challenge blog: Gingersnap Creations. They had a color challenge and for this I just a new Technique Junkie technique called Bingo Blast. Stamps are by Michael Strong.
