photobooth flash card #2
wednesdaystamper “silhouettes”
one of my long-time-favorite stamps are the dancing silhouettes from “a stamp in the hand”. should be perfect for today´s challenge! and the quote stamp (rbbb) is so true *g*…
photobooth addiction
over the years i have collected lots of photobooth pictures. and now i decided to make a series of flashcard-pages and bind them into a book. (not that i don´t have heaps of unfinished projects here;) – but i can´t stop starting new ones…). most of my projects end up in book form;)
i think it will lead to another series, atcs “passport-like”. i need to use all those little pictures now…
(stamps are mostly from ma vinci, rbbb, zetti)
schon lange sammle ich solche passbildautomaten-fotos. und nun beschloss ich, dass es an der zeit wäre, sie auch mal zu verwenden. also ein neues projekt gestartet (nicht dass hier nicht schon genügend unvollendete rumliegen würden…), diese fotos auf den frisch eingefärbten flashcards… wird wohl (wie meistens bei mir) wieder in buchform enden.
und parallel dazu solls noch eine atc-serie geben, die an pass-seiten erinnern soll… mal sehen.
flash cards – backgrounds
there are days of creating, and there are days of preparing… i love to have backgrounds at hand when i´m in the mood to get started quickly. so today i dyed quite some of my flash cards (etsy-bought:)). i love the way these cards take the colors! it´s so easy-peasy to get them done: i take thinned dye-inks (my favorite brands are vivid, distressed, adirondack), 2 brushes and they are painted in seconds! a little water-spritzing (with the hand; i work on newspapers in my kitchen), done!
es gibt so tage, da krieg ich sonst nicht viel auf die reihe… aber es reicht zum vorbereiten von hintergründen. praktisch, wenn man dann was zur hand hat, wenn man schnell in die gänge kommen will!
heute hab ich mal wieder einen schwung flashcards eingefärbt (über etsy hab ich mir letztes jahr einen schönen vorrat angeschafft). ich liebe es, wie diese karten die farben so kräftig aufnehmen! und vor allem geht alles ratz-fatz: verdünnte refills (meine lieblingsmarken sind die stempelfarben von vivid, distressed & adirondack), 2 pinsel – das wars auch schon. noch einen handspritzer wasser (ich arbeite auf zeitungspapier in der küche), fertig!
tmta – “letter e / buchstabe e”
a word beginning with the letter “e” is the challenge today…
die herausforderung heute ist: nimm ein wort mit dem anfangsbuchstaben “e”…
castaway stamppad
cat imprints on the background (stamps: rbbb) made with a castaway stamppad. white cardstock dyed with vivid inks (thinned refills), after drying stamped with castaway, let dry, ironed on high temperature.
tmta – “roofs of our world”
took the stampington stamp “plaza domes” for this weeks´ challenge at tmta. didn´t want to distract from the image by embellishments, so: pure stamping, masking and sponging. and a little highlighting with the gel pen.
“dächer unserer erde” heißt das thema heute bei tmta.
ich mag diesen stampington-stempel sehr gerne und wollte ihn ganz alleine für sich wirken lassen. deshalb nur: stempeln, maskieren und tupfen; und ein bisschen gelstift.
little artbags received
i had ordered these two little artbags from lorraine, uk – she has some nice things in her etsy shop. i love the bright colors and the backsides are as beautiful as the fronts. the bags have the perfect size for holding a mobile.
(thanks for adding the fabric/transparency atc, lorraine! love it!)
OWOH – and the winner is…
thanks so much, lisa, i really appreciate all the effort you put into this event – it sure was a lot of work, but it was sooo worth it:))
finding out about my winner i used a random generator. blogspot doesn´t number the comments, so i had to count… and with the help of two other mathematically talented people (my sons, hehe, who came to the same result) it was a clear decision:
my frida icicle doll will go to CLAU -
for the others… hope we will meet again in blogland. i for sure will hop around here and there – and made the resolution to leave comments frequently. i´m sometimes a bit lazy about this, but we all love to get reactions to know we got a visit…
