I believe

  Hello everyone, 

Welcome to the blog where today I am sharing a postcard.  I love rainbow colours so today I went for those. I never tire of them. 

Here's how I made it:

First I coloured the background by dunking it in ink smooshed mixed with a spray of water on my craft sheet. I dried it in between colours.

Next I added some stencilling with white acrylic paint and using the same paint and a brayer I added some white here and there on the card. 

Next I stamped the background using the same inks and a black Versafine. 

I then stamped the lady on the card and on a piece of blank book paper. I also stamped the sentiment. With a piece of cut and dry foam I inked the edged of the card using Versafine.  

I used some washitape to ground her and added a little bit in the right top corner to balance the card. 

Lastly I added the lady and the sentiment. 

I have used the following stamps:

19568 - Double coffee rings

20682 - Surgery and Midwifery textbook

20676 - Sheet of newspaper print

14045 - Lady Writing

20006 - I believe by Cat Kerr

Other materials:

MM card stock

Distress Oxide inks

Versafine Clair Ink 

White acrylic paint (Amsterdam)

AALL & Create Washi tape

book paper

Wonderland

Hello everyone,

Welcome to my blogpost where today I am sharing a set of three ATC's. I thought another Alice project was long overdue so that is what I did !

These ATC's were made in the same way. I started with stamping the background and heat embossing it with WOW embossing powder. I then coloured the backgrounds with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers in rainbow colours.  I inked the edges then stamped the images and sentiment. I used pages out of an old book. It has oriental letters but I have no idea what language it is or what it is about. I bought it especially to use in my projects. Next I cut out all the images and adhered them onto the ATC's after I added some washi tape on each of them. 

When this was all done I thought it needed something more so I stamped the background with a text stamp and that was it ! 

Here are some close ups:

I have used the following stamps for this project:

19015 - dictionary page

19580 - Wonderland

20015 - Alice - drink me

20016 - Mad Hatter

6805 - Cheshire cat sitting

18812 - Tangle

Food !

Hello everyone,

Welcome to my blogpost today ! I have made a trio of ATC's to inspire you with and I hope you'll pick up your stamps and make something too !

And here's how I made them:

I started with a gelli print. This is a mop up page. 

I cut the page into three ATC's. There were some small pieces left which I will keep to use as collage material in another project. 

Next I added some stamping. I used VersaMark and WOW embossing powder and also Archival Ink in the colour Watering Can. 

I stamped all the images on book paper with Archival Ink. I always use the edges of the pages for the sentiments I am going to use. That way they have the same colour as the images. Next task is to cut everyone out. 

Having a look where I am going to place everything.

And here is the finished result. 

I hope you enjoyed this short tutorial. 

I have used the following stamps:

18500 - Large cake lady

18501 - Cake lady

18567 - Is it wine o'clock yet?

20011 - I love you like a fat kid loves cake

20012 - Food soothes the soul

18282 - Ladies drinking tea/coffee

19015 - Dictionary page

19998 - Striped pattern circle
