Washi Tape Card - it's all about the attitude

Hi everyone and happy Saturday :)
I hope you all will have a wonderful and sunny weekend!

Today I want to show you a card, that I created by using Washi Tapes!
The new (Duo-)Washi Tapes from Scrapbook-Werkstatt!
They are genious and I totally adore their colors and designs :)
And since I wasn't able to decide which one of the awesome nine designs to use first, I just used them ALL to create the background of my card ;-)

The image stamp is KennyK and available in rubber from Whimsy Stamps. The film strip sentiment as well as the matching die is also from Whimsy Stamps. The KennyK stamp was colored with Tombow Dual Brush Pens, then I cut the image out, trimming closely and put it on some dimensional foam adhesive.
Some distressing around the white cardbase and a bit of faux stitching around the card background - and the card is finished :)

Hallo zusammen und Euch allen einen wunderschönen Samstag :)

Ich hoffe Ihr habt alle ein wunderschönes und sonniges Wochenende!

Heute möchte ich Euch eine Karte zeigen, die ich mit Washi Tapes gestaltet habe!

Nämlich mit den neuen (Duo-)Washi Tapes von der Scrapbook-Werkstatt!

Die sind echt total genial und ich finde die Designs und Farben einfach nur klasse!

Und da ich mich gar nicht entscheiden konnte welches der tollen neun Tapes ich nun zuerst verwenden soll, habe ich sie kurzerhand einfach ALLE benutzt um den Hintergrund meiner Karte zu gestalten ;-)

Der Mädel-Stempel ist von KennyK und es gibt ihn bei Whimsy Stamps. Der Stempel mit dem Filmstreifen, sowie die dazu passende Stanze ist ebenfalls von Whimsy Stamps.

Den Stempel habe ich mit Tombow Dual Brush Pens koloriert, dann hab' ich das Motiv konturengenau ausgeschnitten und auf 3D Pads gesetzt.

Ein bisschen distressing um die weiße Kartenbasis drum herum, etwas "faux stitching" rund um den Washi-Hintergrund - und fertig war die Karte :)

card recipe:

• stamps - Whimsy Stamps: "Soho" by KennyK, "Film Strip Sentiments"
• coloring medium - Tombow Dual Brush Pens, Mondeluz watercolor pencils, Sakura white gel pen
• tools - Spellbinders "GC-001 Grand Calibur" die cutting machine
• dies - Whimsy Stamps "Film Strip Die" 
• others - ColorCore white cardstock, Scrapbook-Werkstatt Duo-Washi-Tapes, Tim Holtz distressing tool, paper piercing tool from stash, dimensional foam adhesive from stash

challenges:

• Art Impressions #75 (sentiments)
• Crafty Catz #145 (anything goes)
• Inspire me Fridays #71 (anything goes)
• Paper Crafting Journey (anything goes)
• Simply Create Too #19 (anything goes)
• The Poodles Parlour (die cuts

Wishes of a Happy Birthday

Hi everyone and Happy Easter :)

*woohoo*.. I created another card.. two cards in two days in a row.. unbelievable ;-)

After visiting Annika's blog a few days ago where I saw her GORGEOUS mermaid with black hair (she did it for the current Make It Colourful challenge), I absolutely wanted to try to do black hair myself  - I think I've never done black hair before!

BTW: You absolutely should go and take a look at Annika's work on her blog, if you don't know her by now.. she's one of the most talented AND super sweet people I ever met in 'blog land'!

And as you may know I don't own any Copics...so it was a bit difficult for me, because there are TONS of tutorials for black hair using Copics around blog land but I've never seen one for Tombows or even watercolor pencils (and that's what I have *lol*)

So the only thing I could do was just give it a try ;-))) and this is my result ... anything but perfect ... but I think it's ok for the first attempt ...

challenges:

• A Gem of A Challenge #19 (Pearls and/or swirls) 
• Delicious Doodles #22 (Anything Goes)
• Little Miss Muffet #7 (Glitter and Shine) 
• Make It Colourful #15 (Colouring Black Hair)
• Totally Gorjuss #77 (Bling)
• Wee Memories #53 (Girls Just Wanna Have Fun)

card recipe:

• stamps - Rock Chick by KennyK (Whimsy Stamps), Party Mini Letter Seals by Raindrop Echo Designs (Whimsy Stamps)
• color mediums - Tombow Dual Brush pens, Mondeluz watercolor pencils
• patterned papers - Ambrosia by Basic Grey
• tools - Silhouette SD machine, Big Shot
• other supplies - black cardstock from stash and American Crafts, purple cardstock from stash, Nestabilities classic and scalloped circles, div. cutting files for Silhouette SD machine, selfadhesive crystals from stash, paper piecing tool from stash, Sakura white gel pen, foam pads from stash, Glue Dots
