Happy Mother´s Day!

These are strange times and visiting my Mother

in the care home for Mother´s Day is still a no go.

So my brother and i went on Friday to bring my Mom

a card and flowers. We had to stay behind the glass

 and she was inside (hard for her to understand).

So here my card, for I do hope we soon can have a cup of

tea together and not behind glass!

I also made this card with some of the left overs from

papers I made with my gelli plate for the challenge on the

Club Scrap Chat on Facebook.

Here my cut out for the card.

I started making the background with the teabag stamp

from Club Scrap special kit Infusion (2014) and 

white embossing powder for a resist technique.

Coloring the paper with walnut stain distress oxide ink.

Here the finished background pannel.

The white teabags came out beautiful.

So this is my sentiment of the day

in good hope that we soon can do this again.

Happy Mother's Day to all

mother's, grandmothers and great grandmothers!

Thanks for looking,

stay safe

and keep crafting!

Simon Says: Add Some Red

Here a tag for 2 challenges:

1. Add Some Red on the

Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog.

2. Make a project with the 2012

paint resist technique in the

Tim Holtz Addict Facebook Group.

As i do not have the white paint (now I need it!!)

I used white embossing powder after I stamped

the hearts and the text with versamark.

After the embossing powder was heated I colored

my tag with candied apple red oxide distress ink.

The heart and the love are cut out with dies

by Stampin'Up!

Here you see the finished tag all done up.

I used the rosette and the Valentine tiny

envelop on top of the heart.

"YOU"was cut out one of the alphabet strips and

the borders were added with stapples to the tag.

In the middle if the strips I added waxed black thread

with some red glass beads between knots.

Thank you for looking and 

have a creative day!

Art Neko Birthday Card

Today my card is for the color challenge on 

the Cupcake Inspiration Blog.

Here you see the inspiration for the card.

For my card I used Art Neko stamps

Forget Me Not background stamp

Love Birds stamp

Happy Birthday sentiment

The background is stamped on white paper with versamark and

embossed with clear embossing. Next the red color is added

and the embossing powder works as a resist. With a soft cloth

I cleaned off the ink from the flowers.

Next I stamped the Love Birds in black on a seperate piece 

of paper and added the sentiment. Then I cut it out and glued it to

a piece of black paper and cut it out again with a border.

After adding the ribbon around the background, the birds 

were added with foam tape on top.

After making the card for the challenge, I made some other card

and noticed I still used the same colors. It is a wonderful

color combination.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Inspiration for Chinese New Year: The Year of the Rooster

On January 28 the Chinese New Year takes place and

their years always have the name of an animal.

 This year will be the Year of the Rooster.

Here you find some more information about the

signifigance of the rooster and if you where born

in a year of the rooster and what it means for you.

This card looks complicated, but below I explain 

how to do it and you notice how easy it is.

I used:

The Year of  the Rooster stamp from Art Neko

Holiday Greetings also from Art Neko

Start with stamping the rooster with versamark ink at

random on the background panel. Emboss it with white

embossing powder.

Now color the paper with red and orange ink 

with a blending tool The white embossing powder

works as a resist.

Take the sentiment and stamp with black ink.

Finally add some drops of water. Heat set.

Stamp the center piece with the rooster in black ink and color

with pencil. To assemble the card wrap some red/white

twine around the background panel, add the rooster with foam tape.

The happy new year is stamped on a piece of white paper and cut 

into 3 pieces and looks like the rooster is shouting it.

For this card I used the same rooster stamp and here the

background is even more easy!

 I used a piece of matt silver paper for the back panel.

Stamping the rooster at random with black ink.

For the center piece I embossed the rooster in red.

On the silver background I added some silver holographic

sequins to add some bling to the card.

Thanks so much for looking

and have a creative day!

Owl be scrappin'

Today I have a scrap page for you.

The papers are all by Club Scrap (Papillon kit).

The sentiment on top is by Create with TLC

and down at the bottom are stamps by Michael Strong.

In the background you see some cute little owls and that is a sweet

little clear set by Hero Arts

How did I do this?

I stamped the images with versamark on glossy paper.

Then I took my brayer and  a Kaleidacolor

inkpad Berry Blaze and rolled the color over the images.

Take a paper towel and rub the ink from the images.

The words I stamp with black ink at the end.

This owl is made with my new Cricut cartridge.

I am so happy using it and it is so much fun!

Have a creative day!

This page tells it's own story I think.

tutorial in yesterdays post.
