The Treehouse


Hi everyone, hope you all have a great Monday and the start into the new week is good :)
I just discovered the blog of a stamping company called 'The Treehouse'
I've never heard about them before, but they have monthly contests with a freebie to work with :)
So I printed the image twice on watercolor paper, colored it using watercolor pencils, some baby oil, Tombow Dual Brush pens and a watertank brush. Then cut out parts of the image (clouds, flower, body of the mouse) and put it on pop dots for some dimension and additional interest. Added a teeny tiny bit of Stardust Stickles to the center of the flower.. that's it :o)

Hallo zusammen, ich hoffe Ihr habt einen tollen Montag und einen super Start in die neue Woche :)
Ich habe gerade einen neuen Blog entdeckt. Und zwar ist es der Blog des Stempelherstellers 'The Treehouse'
Ich habe noch nie zuvor davon gehört, aber es gibt dort eine monatlichen Wettbewerb bei dem man ein Freebie benutzen muss, um damit eine Karte zu machen :)
Also habe ich das Motiv zweimal auf Aquarellpapier ausgedruckt und mit Aquarellstiften, etwas Babyöl, Tombow Dual Brush pens und einem Wassertankpinsel koloriert. Dann habe ich Teile des kolorierten Motivs konturengenau ausgeschnitten (Wolken, Blume und den Körper der Maus) und auf 3D Pads gesetzt um etwas Tiefenwirkung zu erzielen. Dann noch einen klitzekleinen Klecks Stardust Stickles in die Mitte der Blume.. fertig :o)

  15. Awwww...so cute! And it's YOUR blue! I LOVE your blue!
    Our family is not as desperate as last week and things seem to have improved a bit with DS. Negative thing is that tests didn't show anything conclusive and I'm still on my toes all the time.
