Stampotique Challenge: Washi Tape

Hello, hello... it's my time to host and I choose Washi Tape for this challenge. Not really a hard one is it ;-) I adore this stuff and I think a lot of us do. I especially love the black and white ones, it makes the other colors you use really intense. And it's just an easy way to add something extra on your creation.
So use this happy stuff as a background or as an embellishment on your creation. Hope you like Washi Tape just as I do :-)
For my card I used the TH Label dies, Dylusions Spray Squeezed Orange and Archival Jet Black and Monarch Orange. And a few of my black and white Washi Tape.

Stampotique Challenge: Happy Birthday

Happy Wednesday! This week the challenge is hosted by Kim and she wants to see birthday cards. This is for a special reason, cause Kim is turning 40 today!!! Happy Birthday Kim!!!
I made this card with the Blueprints Die (no. 6) from My Favorite Things. I used Dylusions spray. Stamped with Archival. And I used Distress Markers to color Miguel.

Stampotique re-application

A year ago, when I joined the Stampotique DT, a dream came true. I couldn't believe it and felt so blessed. This year was so much fun. I love being part of this amazing team of talented ladies. It allowed me to play with the most fabulous stamps, of which I've been a fan for so long. I tried so many new things with their challenges and have grown because of this. And... I just don't want the dream to stop, so this will be my entry for my re-application as Designer.
My creative style could be described as colorful grungy. I love to use the bright Dylusions sprays and make a beautiful mess with them. I love to Art Journal, make cards, tags and ATC's.

I would love to stay in the team for all the reasons I already mentioned. This team is just the best :-D

There will be two Design Teams in 2014 and really can't choose. The Challenge Blog DT stimulates you to do new things and push you out of your comfort zone. But being in the FB/Blog DT you would have a lot of creative freedom. So either team would be lovely.

Now I will keep my fingers crossed :-)

If you also want to join this fabulous team, please read all the information about it here.

Halloween

We have some real autumn weather here in The Netherlands, windy and rainy. I don't mind. We have been spoiled with the summer and love the darker period of the year. It's almost time for Halloween. Love this feast, to bad we don't celebrate it here. But it doesn't stop me from making some Halloween cards :-D

Stampotique Challenge: New Technique

Try a new technique is the new challenge at Stampotique. I made these two cards with the Gelli Plate. I recently discovered the Gelli Plate and have used it before for some Art Journal backgrounds, but never for card-making. You get some lovely backgrounds so easily. Really happy how it turned out :-D
