Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop

Hi everyone :-D 

Today I'm taking part in Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop. Two new sets have been released into the store. I made two CAS (clean and simple) cards using these two new stamp sets. Love all the images! So cute, don't you think. :-D

Dogs

Cats

First up is a Paw-sitively perfect Card using the Dog stamp set. 

I stamped a dog on a white cardstock paper and colored him in watercoloring technique using Distressed Inks, water and fine brush. After drying, I fussy cut him colored the edges with black permanent pen, added 3-D foams behind him and placed him on a card.
Card dimensions are 127 mm x 101 mm (5" x 4").

Next card is Cat's Dreams Card using the Cats stamp set and one stamp (small paw) from Dogs stamp set. 

First I made a blue starry panel on a white 160 grams paper. I stamped small stamps and colored them with black permanent pen. Then I colored whole panel with Stormy Sky Distressed Ink, using blending tool and splattered the panel with white tempera color mixed with water, using paintbrush. I stamped fish, mouse, twine and sleeping cat on the white cardstock paper, colored them in watercoloring technique using Distressed Inks, water and fine paint brush. After drying, I fussy cut all images and colored their edges with black permanent pen. I glued mouse, fish and twine images directly on the blue panel over previously stamped and black shaded images. I glued blue panel on a white card base and stamped sentiment on the card base. I stamped only a part of the sentiment. At the end, I added 3-D foams behind the cat and placed her on the card. 
Card dimensions are 139 mm x 107 mm (5 1/2" x 4 1/4").

I hope you'll like my cards. Below you can find a detailed supply list. :-D

Colorful Kitties Set (Fairy Tale Challenge #114 + Blog Hop)

Happy Friday everyone :o)

It´s time for a new challenge at Fairy Tale Challenge Blog.

Theme for this fortnight is #114, Bunt / Colorful. We want to see colors, colors and more colors on your projects. :o) 

Our sponsor for this challenge is Görlach GmbH, with a fabulous prize for one lucky winner, a set of high quality crystal beads, pearls and gems.

Isn't the prize GORGEOUS? But that´s not all. We also have a Blog Hop and on every stop a little candy for one lucky winner. Here is the blog hop list:

• Fairytale Challenge Blog (Start)
• Steffi
• Carol
• Tanti
• Milka (you are here)
• Andrea, Zetti

For this challenge/blog hop, I made a Colorful Kitties Set, which includes a card, mini cards set in a box with a matching envelopes, post it note holder and two decorated paper clips. 

Here are few details about this set.

Card
I used super cute Bugaboo digital stamp 'Critter Balloons - cat'. I got this cutie for free, as a Friday freebie at Bugaboo. 

Image is paper pieced and it has 3 layers. 

I printed one image on digital patterned paper. This was my card panel.  

I printed two more images on white cardstock paper, colored them, fussy cut them, colored edges with black pen and glued all pieces together. I covered balloon, cloud, cats´s muzzle, splats and heart with gloss resin gel to create glossy accents. This is a new product I bought few days ago and it makes the same effect like a transparent glossy varnish I used in my previous projects. Glossy effect is great and a 100 ml bottle didn't cost a lot. It was on sale, so it was great opportunity to grab something new and try it. I am very satisfied! :o)

Trick or Tweet Card

Good evening everyone :-D

Today I made another Halloween themed card and called it Trick or Tweet Card, according to a sentiment I used.

The Cat´s Pajamas Collage Inspiration by Nancy was an inspiration for this card, as well as  I {heart} sketches sketch083 with a twist for a card layout.

Image is From the Heart Stamps 'Bewitchin´ Birdbrains', as well as the sentiment.

I printed four From the Heart Stamps 'Bewitchin´ Birdbrains' images on white card stock paper. 

First I made background on one image. I colored moon using stencil, aquarell colored pencils and water and grass with aquarell colored pencils and water. I masked moon and colored background with Black Soot distress ink. 

Then I colored elements on three images with my colored pencils, white pencil, aquarell colored pencils and black fine liners, fussy cut elements, colored edges with permanent marker and pieced all elements together. I added some transparent glossy varnish to create glossy accents.

For this card I used three different Halloween digital papers by Marie Stones that she shared for free on Free Digital Scrapbooking. I fussy cut two spiders from scraps of printed digital paper, outlined them and decorated card with them.

I made little cat embellishment using cat stencil from Kinder Surprise. I outlined the shape of cat on black card stock paper, cut it out, glued down a pair of googly eyes and covered all cat with transparent varnish.

In left upper corner I draw cobweb with black permanent marker, traced lines with glue and sprinkled over black glitter.

Card dimensions are 15,2 cm x 15,2 cm (6" x 6"). 

List of supplies: 

• From the Heart Stamps 'Bewitchin´ Birdbrains'
• Halloween Crackle Green  digital paper from 'Halloween Crackle Paper Pack' collection by Marie Stones
