Challenge The Stamp Man - 'embellish it"

This is something very different to what I normally make.

I tried doing some metal-art. I made about 4 cards from a sheet I did. Don't know whether I will be doing more, I might, as I do like to doodle into the metal.

I am entering this in the challenge on The Stamp Man which is 'embellish it'.

Me again on the Katzelkraft website today!

As Jolande is in America at the moment -  yessss, at the CHA - I promised to post for her today!

So, here I am again with a Katzelkraft inspired creation!!
 

****

This is the cover of a small notebook, about 10 x 10 centimeters.

 

A close up of the beautiful dragonfly stamp, it's one of my favorite Katzelkraft stamps!

I made the background a while ago!

I stamped with gesso on watercolor paper, and sprayed it with colorwash straight away, while still wet. Pssst....  The gesso stamped image isn't a Katzelkraft stamp, but I do like the effect! Beatrice, I need a stamp with big letters!! LOL

HAVE A GOOD TIME AT THE CHA, JOLANDE!!

I am entering this in the challenge on Simon Says Stamp - anything goes!

and I am entering this piece in the challenge on MMM as well, which is BUTTERFLIES AND/OR DRAGONFLIES

****

The dragonfly is from the wings sheet!

Have a nice day!

Katzelkraft "Véhicule" tag

I might just speak french one day, being on the Design Team for

Katzelkraft. LOL

Most of the times I don't understand a word on the DT Facebook page.

Luckily I am not the only one....

I just assume that when other DT members post a french message, I

don't need to know what it says... hehe

****

This transportation set of stamps is just my thing, didn't expect that
though LOL

I stamped the brick wall with gesso. and with some distressi inks.

I started with a piece of scrapbookpaper, although you wouldn't
recognize it after all the distressing etc.

Hope you like it!

In een rijtuigie, in een rijtuigie
    In een rijtuigie reden we naar Vinkeveen
    Op een dag in maart, zo kalm en bedaard
    En maar schommelen en maar kijken naar de kont van het paard
    In een rijtuigie, in een rijtuigie
    In een rijtuigie helemaal naar Vinkeveen

Challenge on Studio L3 - Your Favorite New Technique from 12 Tags 2011

  I am entering this in the challenge on Studio L3

 

I used a technique Tim used on the tag on day 4. 

His step 39 :  fill in the cut out with a generous amount of glossy accents basically filling the space like resin.

Card I made from an ugly Doodle Unleashed page

I was really frustrated, so stopped before I started doodling.

The colors were so dull, and I decided to start over, later on. So I cut it up in pieces.

You can see what I did with it on a card. There's more to come.

I used the cracked ice technique on these ATC's. There's some more on my ATC-blog.
