Dream together

Hello everyone, 

and welcome to my weekly Katzelkraft Blogpost. For today I made an Art journal page. 

I started with a piece of MM paper and used a stencil and modelling paste to add some texture. When this had dried I painted a layer of gesso over the top. Next I used a blue and a green Lindy's Stamp Gang ink spray to get some colour on it. I added a slightly darker blue and green at the very edge. 

I then stamped the background using similar ink colours and some black. I then stamped the images, once on the page and once on white card stock. I coloured them with Copic Markers and cut them out. I adhered them on top of the ones on the page. I did also add some washi tape under the dog. 

Lastly I stamped the sentiment and doodled a line around the edge. 

I have used the following stamps: 

KTZ160  Tampons Les Ronds  

KTZ131 Mini Background B7

Solo 096 Cercle Grunge

KTZ168 Les Jungles

KTZ161 Les Chiens

Destination unknown (2)

Hello everyone,

Mr. Mojo seems to have left me and because of that I decided to revisit an old idea for VivaLasVegaStamps! today.  For the second time this month I have used the same sentiment. I have made a simple postcard :

I cut a piece of white card stock to the size of a postcard 6"x4". I then adhered a piece of an old town map on it. With a brayer I added some blue paint and some green over the top. Next I stamped the blue X's with the same blue paint and the small X's with black Archival Ink. I used the same ink to go around the edges of the card and to stamp the men and the sentiment. I did use a Stamping tool to get a nice black impression. 

I have used 4 stamps for this card :

20165 - Crossmarks background

20162 - Carved X's 

19019 - Destination unknown

19730 - Wright Brothers walking

Hello everyone,

It is Friday and that means another post for Katzelkraft ! I still love all the critter stamps and I decided to make this project with one of the cats; it is a card this time :

The background was made with acrylic paints and a gelli plate ! I added some stamping. The cat was stamped on watercolour paper with Archival ink and painted with watercolours. I added a little shading with coloured pencils too. I cut him out and placed him on some music paper.  Lastly I added a stitched line along the edges and a sentiment. 

I used the following stamps:

KTZ142 - Les Anthropomorphes - Rabbit 

KTZ131 -  Mini Background B7

KTZ169 - Dreamer

KTZ152 - Les Chats russes

It's the little things that make life big...

Hello everyone,

Happy Thursday to you all ! For today's Vera Lane Studio projects I have made an art journal page with a YouTube tutorial, a little tag and a postcard.

I have filmed the process of colouring her and putting the page together. The background is from my stash and was made with a gelli plate, Copic Refills and a stencil. 

Here is the link to the YouTube colouring tutorial.

I have used Daffodill for this journal page. You will find her HERE.

This tag is a piece of gelli print on which I collaged some paper I got gifted in a VLS ATC swap. I also doodled some flowers on it. The girl is a printed and coloured with Copics, cut out and adhered. Lastly I added the sentiment which is a Tim Holtz sticker. 

This postcard is made with a piece of pattern paper from my stash. I added some paint to the bottom and right hand side of the card. I added some washi tape for her to stand on. She was printed, coloured and cut out. I adhered her on top of the washi tape. Lastly I added a sentiment, again a Tim Holtz sticker. 

You will find this lovely girl HERE

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my blogpost today where I have made a tag for Hobbycompleet de Duif. I have used my new Dina Wakley goodies again ! Love them..

I cut a tag from some white card stock and painted it with PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Acrylics in Cheesecake. Next I used the Dina "Wallpaper" stencil with Haystack and Tango. When everything had dried I added a few pieces of the Dina Collage papers. Next I stamped the lady, once on the tag and once on white card stock. I coloured the one on the white card stock with Copic Markers and cut her out. I adhered her onto the one on the tag. This way you have all the details.. 

Lastly I added the sentiment which is from the same stamp set. 

I used the following materials :

White card stock

No place like home

Hello everyone,

For my post for Um Wow Studio today I made a mini Art Journal page.

 I kept it really simple this time. I stamped the background and then heat embossed it with two layers of Seth Apther's Baked Texture "Vintage Beeswax". Next I embossed the edges of the page with "Ancient Amber". I didn't do much to the Tiny Houses chipboards, just wiped them over a brown Archival ink pad. The line of music paper and the sentiment were also heat embossed with the Vintage Beeswax powder. 

A close up. 

Doesn't it look yummy ! 

I have used the Tiny Houses Mash Chipboards and you'll find them HERE. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today ! 

Speak your truth

Hello everyone,
Hallo allemaal, 

One of the perks of being on a DT is that you get 'stuff' to work with. For this project I have used the new Dina Wakley goodies and I really enjoyed making this as she is one of my fave designers.

Een van de voordelen van in een DT zitten (Hobbycompleet De Duif) is dat je de nieuwste spulletjes krijgt om mee te werken. Voor dit project heb ik Dina Wakley's laatste nieuw producten gebruikt en ik heb er van genoten !

It is an Art Journal page :
Het is een Art Journal pagina geworden : 

This is the background I started with. It is a gelli print on tissue paper, by Dina, and I have added stencilling ...

Dit was de achtergrond waar ik mee begonnen ben. Het is een gelli print op het nieuwe Dina tissue paper waar ik  nog wat op gestencild heb. (Links naar producten onderaan  dit blogbericht. 

I then adhered the tissue to a piece of MM paper and stitched around the edges. 

Ik heb het na droging op een stuk MM papier geplakt en rondom met de naaimachine gestikt. 

I used the Tim Holtz stamp platform to stamp my 'lady'.

Om mijn 'dame' te stempelen heb ik het Tim Holtz platform gebruikt. 

I coloured her with Faber Castell Big Brush Pit pens and a water brush. I also stamped her on the background so I can adhere her in the same spot when I have cut her out. 

Ik heb haar ingekleurd met Faber Castell Pit pens en een water penseel. Ik heb haar ook op de pagina gestempeld zodat ik haar later daar precies kan opplakken. 

And here is the finished page. 

Hier is de afgewerkte pagina ! 

I have used the following materials:

Hello everyone,

It is Friday and that means another post for Katzelkraft ! I still love all the critter stamps and I decided to make this project with one of the cats; it is an art journal page:

The background was made with acrylic paints and my fingers ! Nothing so precise as your fingers ! Next I added some stamping. The birds were stamped directly onto the background with Archival ink; I did have to fill them in with a black pen because they didn't come out solid. The cat was stamped on watercolour paper with Archival ink and painted with watercolours. I added a little shading with coloured pencils too. Lastly I added a doodle line along the edges and a 'small talk' sticker by Tim Holtz. 

I used the following stamps:

KTZ142 - Les Anthropomorphes - Rabbit 

KTZ131 -  Mini Background B7

Solo44 - Corbeaux silhouette

KTZ152 - Les Chats russes

It's Vera Lane Studio Happy Thursday ! YaY !

Hello everyone,

and Happy Thursday to you all. For today's Vera Lane Studio post,  I have made three projects:

The first project is this Artjournal page. I was experimenting with my gelli plate and this is what came out. I liked it so decided to use it today. So I resized and printed the Bohemian girl and coloured her in similar colours to the background with Copic Markers and cut her out. I added some white highlights and then also added some stencilling on the background. When I was happy I applied some washitapes and placed her on top. The sentiment is from the same set. 

You'll find the Bohemians HERE. 

I had a piece of my gelli print left and used it to cut two ATC's. I resized the cat and dog from the Old McDonald Farm Animal Set 2 and printed them. I coloured them with my Copic markers and cut them out. I added some doodling and washi tape to the ATC's and placed the animals on it. 

You'll find them HERE. 

For this postcard I used one of the Bohemian girls and a house from the Little Houses collage set. This collage set comes ready coloured! I resized and printed the girl, coloured her and dug out another of my gelli printed backgrounds. I added some doodling and washitape and placed her on the card. 

You'll find her HERE... 

And the Little Houses Collage set HERE.

Destination unknown

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my blogpost for VivaLasVegaStamps! today. I have made a mini artjournal spread and I have filmed the process because it is easier than having to explain in writing how I made something ! So here are some photo's first :

Here is the link to the video: 

I have used the following stamps:

19567 - Writing circles background

19571 - Writing triangles

19338 - Colorwheel lines

19019 - Destination unknown

19681 - Whimsical tree lady nude

Thank you so much for stopping by today ! 

Adventure awaits you

Hello everyone,

for today's Katzelkraft project I have made a card:

The background is a gelli printed piece of paper.  I started with stamping the script on the left with grey ink. I then stamped the dog on it and also on a piece of white card stock. I coloured him with Copic Markers, cut him out and glued him onto the stamped image on my card panel. This way it looks like you have cut the image out perfectly. I aded some shading under the dog and finished the panel off with a Tim Holtz Small Talk sticker and a black mat. The whole thing was then glued onto a white card. 

I have used the following stamps:

KTZ161  - Les Chiens

KTZ142 - Les Anthropomorphes Rabbit
