Just for You Alcohol Ink Tag

Hi there,

I created this Alcohol Ink Tag for the Karten-Kunst Blog:

• cut out a tag from Lanavanguard
• create a background with Alcohol Inks (Willow, Botanical, Everglades)
• cut out one of the Karten-Kunst Scribble Leaves from champagne foiled cardstock
• stamp the sentiment from the Karten-Kunst Aus der Schreibmaschine 2 set with Versamark on a strip of dark green cardstock and heat-emboss it with WOW! Metallic Platinum Super Fine embossing powder
• thread two strands of twine through the hole of the tag and tie one of them into a little bow

Have a colorful day.

Hugs,

Alcohol Ink Week

Hi there,

it's Alcohol Ink Week over at the Karten-Kunst Blog 

and this is my creation:

• create a background on Lanavanguard using Alcohol Inks (Shell Pink, Aqua) and turquoise Deco Foil
• cut out a panel using one of the Karten-Kunst Stitched Rectangles DIN A6
• adhere the panel to a turquoise cardbase
• cut out a 15 from turquoise cardstock and silver glitter paper using the Karten-Kunst Lucky Numbers die set
• add more texture to the numbers by stamping the Karten-Kunst Blooming Plants with Versamark and heat-embossing them with WOW! Polished Silver Super Fine embossing powder
• stamp the sub-sentiment from the Karten-Kunst Aus der Schreibmaschine set with Versamark and heat-emboss it with that same silver embossing powder
• ink up the bottom part of the numbers and the left and right side of the sub-sentiment strip with Distress Ink Peacock Feathers

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Happy New Year

Hi there,

this is my second New Year Card using the new Karten-Kunst stamp sets:

• add color to a piece of Lanavanguard or Yupo paper using Alcohol Inks (Stream, Gunmetal Mixative)
• stamp the firework from the Karten-Kunst Feuerwerk set and heat-emboss it with silver and turquoise embossing powder
• stamp the sentiment from the same set with Versamark on a piece of black cardstock and heat-emboss it with white embossing powder
• mat the panel onto a piece of black cardstock before adhering it to a cardbase

Have a wonderful New Year.

Hugs,

Thanks Cat

Hi there,

I used one of my all time favorites the Gerda Steiner Designs Cat with Balloons on this card:

• color the Gerda Steiner Designs Cat with Balloons with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens and a damp watercolor brush
• add highlights with a glass dip pen
• create an accent strip on Lanavanguard Paper using Alcohol Inks (Cool Peri, Pink Sherbet, Aqua)
• adhere the strip to a white cardbase, add the cat on top and cut out the thanks from the Lawn Fawn Gift Box die set from Tonic Luna Silver cardstock
• add little dots to the right side of the cat using DIY Distress Gouache and a glass dip pen
• round the top right corner with a 1'' corner rounder

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Love Birds

Hi there,

it's time for the Stamp Tramps September Blog Hop over at Skipping Stones Design and this is my creation:

• create a background with Alcohol Inks (Pink Sherbet, Raspberry, Wild Plum) and Alcohol Ink Blending Solution on a piece of Lanavanguard
• cut out a heart from a white cardbase
• adhere the Alcohol Ink panel behind the cutout
• stamp the Love Birds from the Skipping Stones Design Let it be set with Archival Ink (Black Soot) - I used my MISTI because the Lanavanguard is a rather slick surface and I didn't want to mess things up
• use Delta Markers and the Distress Marker Spritzer to customize Doodlebug Design Sprinkles (Lily White)
