What I did:

I added a single paw print using sand texture paste and a stencil, after a couple of coats of white gesso I then decorated the little wooden house using watercolours and Multi Surface Paints, along with odd bits of washi tape.

I stamped the dog character on white card and coloured using watercolours and Posca pens.

I finished by adding star sequins I had in my stash and little details on the house using a black Posca pen.

Hi everyone,

It's Donna here today with a card using this fab houses stencil and a naughty little cat :)



What I did:

The background was already in my stash but from what I can remember it was made just with water soluble crayons in blue and purple colours.

Onto this background I dabbed a purple Distress Oxide through the Crafters Workshop stencil. I must admit I do love anything and everything house related so I loved this stencil as soon as I saw it.

I love this little cat from AALL and Create with his cheeky grin so I knew he'd be perfect to stick him up a tree lol. The tree is one I hand carved BUT it will hopefully be available to buy soon ;)

Amazingly the tree was carved way before I got the cat stamp but fits him perfectly. I then used the cloud and flowery hill stamps from Rubber Dance to add to the urban feel of the card.

I stamped all the images on Strathmore Mixed Media paper and coloured them in with a mixture of Distress Markers, fussy cut them out and adhered them to the background. The tree and clouds were adhered with a couple of foam pads to add a little extra dimension although it's hard to see that here.

The finishing touch was to add a snarky sentiment from Tim Holtz, mount onto black card and then on white cardstock.

I hope you like my naughty little cat......think he may well be called Fred!!!

Hi everyone,

I just had to get one of these new quirky stamps from AALL and Create, isn't she a sweetie ;)



What I Did:

I used a size 8 manila tag which was in my pile from a Gelli print session. If I remember correctly this was created with a brayer to clean off some excess paint which is perfect for the start of a background.

I stamped the flag bunting onto some teabag paper, which is new at That's Crafty! and is supplied in a mixed media pack. It's wonderful to stamp on and will take inks and markers really well. I coloured the bunting in with undiluted Distress Markers and stapled it to the top of the tag.

The next step was to stamp the girl, her flowers and the flowery hill (from Rubber Dance) onto a sheet of Strathmore Mixed Media paper and then these images were coloured again with Distress Markers and then fussy cut out and adhered to the tag. I used foam pads for a little extra dimension for the girl.

A tiny bit of doodling was done with a pink Posca pen and then I added a sentiment from Tim Holtz's Snarky quotes which I think fitted the little girl perfectly.

I hope you like my tag and it's made you smile as much I did while creating it :)
