K1-1201 - amazing leaves / UNIKO Challenge-Reminder #55

K1-1201 - amazing leaves

Oh wow, time is running!
When the current Uniko Challenge #55 started two weeks ago we had almost Summer weather. But now, Autum really begun around here - the leaves are colourful, we had lots of rain and windy to stormy weather! 
And if the sun is sparkling through the clouds you can see the amazing colours of fall!
Perfect weather to be inspired, but sit inside and craft, isn't it?

Have you played with the current Challenge yet?
It's an Anything Goes Challenge with the optional twist of Autumn this time!
You don't need to use Uniko products to participate, but we would love to see the Uniko products you already have!

I made a CAS card again. It has lots of open space, I used just a small number of supplies and it was easy to create.

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

I stamped little sentiment texts through the beautiful leaves stencil in a colour gradient from rusty red to orange to yellow to green. Then added a layer of translucent embossing paste right on top.
I coloured two stripes of the same paper and coloured them with the same colours I used before.

They were glued on the front panel of my card with a smaller distance than the size of my layer. The layer I added with dimensional tape to get a nice 3D optic.

The sentiment I stamped with Oxide Inks too and was heat embossed with clear powder.

To keep everything CAS decided to pass on embellishments this time.

K1-1075 - Amazing Rays

Passend zu unserem wechselhaften April-Wetter draußen (ja, wir sind damit einen Monat zu früh dran!) gibt's hier jetzt eine Regenbogen-Karte!
"Du bist einfach unglaublich toll" ist die Übersetzung des englischen Textes.

Matching to the quickly changing April-like weather outside (yes, we are one month too early with it!) I have a rainbow-coloured card for you! 
"You are simply amazing"

Über die Karte:
Ich bin bisher nicht besonders geübt mit "Lift-off-Techniken". Da sie aber diesen Monat das Thema bei der neuen CAS Stencil Challenge sind, hab ich mich mal wieder damit versucht...
Zuerst hab ich einen Hintergrund in kräftigen Regenbogen-Farben mit Oxide Inks gewischt und anschließend über die Stencil einen Teil der Farbe mit Wasser wieder entfernt.
Als Kontrast zu den Oxide Farben hab ich meine sonstige Gestaltung, den gestempelten und den gestanzten Text, die kleinen Sterne und auch die Enamel Dots zwischen den farbigen Deko-Elementen in schlichtem Schwarz gehalten (Fragt bitte nicht, was das für Teile sind - ich weiß es nicht! Es sind keine Pailletten und keine Edelsteinchen... irgendwas mit einem Metalleffekt-Lack...)
Im Inneren der Karte hab ich das äußere Design mit einem seitlichen Streifen Regenbogen-Papier fortgesetzt (ähnlich dem am rechtten Kartenrand).

About this card:
I'm not really familiar with the different "lift-off-techniques". But they are the theme of the new CAS Stencil Challenge, so I gave them one more try...
At the beginning I blended the background with some colourful Oxide Inks in rainbow order. Then I removed some of the colour with warter and the use of a stencil.
To create a contrast to the Oxide Inks I used only black elements - the stamped and die-cut sentiment parts, the little stars and also the Enamel Dots between the embellishment pieces (Don't aks me, what it is! They are no sequins and no rhinestones - it's something with metallic effect colours...)
The design of the outside is repeated on the inside with a small strip of rainbow colour paper (similar to the one on the right side).

CAS Stencil #3 - Ghosting (colour lift-off technique)

Update 28.03.2019: 

CAS Stencil - Outstanding Design Batge!

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

AAA Cards #135 One plus Three + optional Twist Friends

I used: 

* a die-cut (the word amazing)

* an inked stencil pattern - ok, it's more de-inked than inked, but I used a stencil and ink to create the background

* a trio of small embellishments - ok, I havn't used three of a kind, but I used three different embellishments! → little stars, little colourful metallic-pieces, little black eneamel dots

I think I also used the Optional Twist Friends, cause you say "You are simply amazing" only to someone special - a good friend!

K1-968 - You're simply amazing

Ich hatte ja kürzlich bei der Online Card Classes "Simply Watercolor" mitgemacht. Mit einigen der dort gezeigten Techniken bin ich immer noch am experimentieren...
Heute hab ich eine Karte mit einem großen Aquarell-"You" für euch. Ergänzt wird der Kartentext noch durch Stempel und DieCut.

Recently I took part in the Online Card Classes "Simply Watercolor". I'm still dealing with some of the shown techniques...
Todays card has a big and bold watercolor "You" on the frontside. I finished the sentiment with a stamp and a die cut.

Über die Karte:

Diese Technik ist so einfach! Man schreibt oder malt mit einem Pinsel und purem Wasser, fügt dann erst die Farbe dazu und lässt  mit Hilfe von etwas Wasser tolle Farbübergänge entstehen. So einfach ist das!

 

About this card:

Such a qucik and easy technique! You write or paint with a brush and some pure water, then add the colors and create with some more water amazing blending-effects! That's it!

Gallery - Day 2

Day 2 was themed with "Simple Critters & Animals". What a fun! :-)
In my first try I created a Panda and then also the sentiment with watercolors and a fine artist marker. The basic idea for this guy I took from the second video from Kristina Werner.

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

Verwendete Materialien:

For this class you need watercolor paper and any kind of watercolor medium.
The sentiment is hand written, so there are no stamps involved.
To finish the card I used some green WashiTape and a Bamboo-punch.

K1-396 - Awesome Birdie

"Spieglein, Spieglein an der Wand...." oder so ähnlich...
In diesem Fall spräche allerdings der Spiegel zu uns, denn der links stehende Kakadu ist ein gestempeltes Spiegelbild (mit Hilfe des Babe-Blocks). Der "Original"-Stempel (rechts) hat zusätzlich noch etwas Glitzer bekommen - ist ja auch die Haupt-Figur auf der Karte, oder?!
Da Copics ja oft durch das Papier durchscheinen, hab ich auf ein separates Stück Papier noch einen Text gestempelt und von innen auf die Vorderseite geklebt.
"Happy Birthday - Hope your day is amazing just like you" - aus den Textbausteinen der beiden Stempelsets zusammengestellt.

"Mirror, Mirror on the wall..." (is that the correct text of the Queen in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"?) or something like that...
In this case the mirror would speak to us, cause the cockatoo on the left side is a stamped reflection (by using the Babe-Block). The "original"-stamp (on the right side) got some additional glitter - it's the main person on the card, isn't it?!
Cause Copics like to dye into the paper I used an extra piece of paper to stamp my sentiment on and adhered it on the inside of the front-layer.
"Happy Birthday - Hope your day is amazing just like you" - created with the text-components of the stamp-sets.
