K1-1350 - Focal Fox

I'm still crafting in every free time I find (I wish I would have more of it!). Most of the time

I'm inspired by the videos of the current "OCC - Spring Card Camp".

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

For the card I show you in this post, I used the left-over pieces (Fox and Sentiment) from this card.

K1-1349 - Happy Days inside

But my focus was not on the technique of Julie Ebersole showed on Day 4 (Tuesday, 04-14) but on the one of Laurie Willison. She showed it some days later (Day 7, Friday, 04-17) but as I mentioned before, I'm very behind with my daily crafting time cause of the situation at home. So the combination of both techniques was perfect to catch up a bit...!

K1-1349 & K1-1350
Lots of Happy Days!

K1-1350 - Focal Fox - Detail

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

In the Detail picture you can see, I hadn't pulled out the rays of the Kraft-paper completely. To get a bit of dimension, I lifted the rays of the dicut by adding the cut outs of the same die of a bright yellow paper, folded them in half, glued them together and added them to the openings. So the center part of the kraft-paper rays stay flat and only the outer areas are lifted. 

Was a bit time consuming, but I love the result!

K1-1074 - Wonderful Butterfly / Uniko BlogHop

Welcome to our Non-Release-Month DesignTeam Blog Hop and Giveaway!

On the Uniko Blog Beverley wrote a short "what you need to know" about this little traditional event for everybody who isn't familiar with it.

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

My first card has the focus on parts of the stencil and a stamped butterfly of the English Country Garden Set, combined with the sentiment "Always believe something wonderful is about to happen" of the Daffodil set. 

The second card is here!

About this card:
I combined  the Kraft paper with white pigment ink, added through a stencil which I moved around on my work-surface to get many of th flowery dots and only one centered butterfly.

Then I added some stamps - a white dotty border and also the black elements. The butterfly I stamped onto the stenciled one. Why? To get the opportunity to colour on the white surface and not on the Kraft paper with my bright markers.
After the coloures were dried I added some clear glimmer and one coat of glossy accents to the wings. This iridescent touch is a more natural look of a butterfly than only Glossy Accents.
To be more CAS I avoid more embellishments and let the butterfly be the one big and colourful focal point.

So... let's go here directly to the theme/supplies of this DT-Challenge!
Cause Winter comes slowly to an end and spring is starting soon we have chosen to give some special love and some fresh ink to the spring fitting stamp sets of the Spring Botanicals Daffodil and Spring Botanicals Snowdrop and also to the Spring Butterflies Stencil!
