Blue Cat With Ribbon Flowers - A Card

Hello.  Gail from the design team here with Curious Cat and some ribbons.  Have you seen the new theme challenge?  Ribbons or twine or thread.  I thought about a victorian ribbon design sewing kit I bought a long long long time ago.  About time I used it I suppose!  
Here's the result........ 


Isn't that cat just adorable???   



I started by colouring a piece of fabric with brusho's.  I stamped and embossed Curious Cat on card and coloured him with Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch distress inks.  I added some highlights with a white gel pen and fussy cut him.  


I made the flowers by cutting short pieces of ribbon and gathering them with a running stitch.  5 pieces for the flower and one piece in yellow for the centre.  I used three different shades of purple for my flowers.  


I mounted the fabric in an aperture card and added the cat.  Sweet!  

I hope you get out your ribbon or twine or thread and join the challenge.  Don't forget the stamping!  You don't have to use Rubber Dance stamps to enter the challenge, but we always love it when you do.  Hugz

Art Journal Page with Distress Ink Background and Crazy Flowers

Image
Hi everyone! It's Susanne writing today. I used Distress Inks together with some of our Crazy Flowers to create the page in this art journal. It's a watercolor journal from Kunst & Papier, it's one of my favourites to use with Ink and watercolors. I didn't use any gesso to prime my page. The flowers are embossed with white powder on watercolor paper. I coloured them in in complementary colours, by dipping them into the Distress Inks, to let them pop from the background. Scroll down for the video tutorial. Enjoy watching the video: Thanks for stopping by today! xx Susanne Rubber Dance Stamps:

Altered Chipboard Butterfly + Giveaway

Image
Message in Norwegian : Hvis du foretrekker å lese dette innlegget på norsk, kan du gjøre det og samtidig bli med på giveawayen på den andre bloggen vår ved å klikke her. Hello everyone! Bibi here today with a fun project, using the Totem Monarch Poppet chipboard from EyeConnect Crafts . I had such a blast with this and I hope what I've made will inspire you to make something similar. The difference between the chipboards from EyeConnect Crafts and others ones I've seen out there, is that they are made to connect (hence the name). There are two categories, one called Lace-Ups which you bind together using ribbons, string, lace, etcetera and another category of chipboards with smaller holes so you can connect the pieces using tiny eyelets or brads. This is what it looks like. The pieces are laser cut, and you easily remove them from the base - save that part and use it as a stencil for another project. Notice there is also a chipboard of the butterfly's...

CASology Week #202: Masculine (card by Bibi)

Image
Hello everyone! Bibi here today to show you a card I've made for the challenge at CASology, where the theme this week is to make a masculine card. "Heeeelp!", was my first reaction when I saw what their theme was, as I think it's really difficult to make cards for men! In addition, it must of course be CAS (= Clean And Simple), so I really had to step outside of my comfort zone....., but that's the point of a good challenge, isn't it? :-) Anyway, it was a post by  DT Kristiina  (on our Scandinavian blog ) that came to my rescue! If you haven't seen her post , you really should! The text is in Swedish, but there are lots of awesome project photos that speak for themselves. Kristiina had used stamped letters as the only "images" on her cards and I was very impressed by what she made, so I took out my Alphabet Uno stamps  (same as Kristiina had used), and what do you know - they spoke to me right away! Thank you, Kristiina! :-D And here...
