KKS - INspirational Wednesday - You're a Hoot!

Hello Krafty Friends!

It is INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY!

the day we provide you with a bit of extra krafty inspiration 

to help you get creative with your krafty stamps!

 Krafty girl Danielle C. here as your hostess this week!

Owls are my favorite birds, so the choice was not difficult for me! 

I played with:

YOU'RE A HOOT!

and created a fun card with all three little owls! 

I used a peek a boo die cut to create a condo in a tree trunk;

the Woodgrain strencil was perfect to give the impression of bark, 

shades were given using Sandy shores, Marvelous Mocha and a very subtil coat of Totally Taupe. 

I used stickes all around the kraft paper.

My images were also  stamped with Totally Taupe, for the no line technique on the owls, 

on bristol velum and colored with polychromos.

Behind my owls I used the Beautiful Burlap stencil with Charming Chartreuse and the beautiful 

new ink Fresh Fields.

I added Summer Krafty dots in different sizes to give a home address to each condo!

Je suis l'hôtesse du Inspirational Wednesday ce mois-ci!

J,ai choisi le jeu You're a Hoot!

pour créer une carte amusante avec les trois petits hiboux.

Au moyen d' une découpe, j'ai perforé trois trous dans un tronc d'arbre,

pour y loger mes trois petits hiboux. Avec le stencil Woodgrain, et les encres Marvelous Mocha, Sandy Shores et une couche subtile de Totally Taupe,

j'ai habillé mon arbre d'une jolie écorce.

Mes hiboux sont coloriés aux polychromos sur bristol velin,

pour donner un look chaleureux aux condos de mes petits hiboux,

¸j'ai utilisé le stencil Beautiful Burlap et les encres Charmin Chartreuse, ainsi que la nouveauté de juilllet, Fresh Files.

L'adresse de mes petits condos est déterminée par 

le nombre de petits Krafty Dots au dessus du trou!

Thank you for letting me share my work with you today!

Ce que j'ai aimé colorié les morses de ce jeu d'étampes, leur donner vie fut un véritable plaisir! Ils sont coloriés avec les Polychromos sur Bristol Velum. 

C'est d'un hublot que l'on voit l'image sur ma carte! 

Pour imiter les vis, j'ai utilisé des Krafty dots.

J,ai utilisé les papiers de la collection Monterey Bay de Photoplay.

Hello Krafty Friends!

It's July and that means it is time for a brand new 

SCRAPPY CHALLENGE 

with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

the theme, of course, is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

I love doing bookmarks! this time, I created one for niece, who love nature, and Master Yoda!

I used 

GOOD IN THE WOODS - ACCESSORY

I colored the little Racoon and the fire camp with Polychromos. I draw the tree and the stump, used one of my favorite stencil :  LEAVES AND VINES  with Mossy Meadow and Charming Chartreuse to create tree foliage. Stickles were added to give the effect of the fire.

I inked the edges of the bookmark, with Mossy Meadow, a bit of stickles.

I slipped the bookmark in a little pocket and added a few decorative accessories.

J'ai colorié le petit raton et le feu de camp avec des Polychromos, sur bristol velin. Pour créer un décor, j'ai dessiné un arbre et une souche sur laquelle le petir raton est assis. C'est avec un stencil LEAVES AND VINES  que j'ai garni l'arbre, j'ai utilisé les encres Mossy Meadow et Charmin Chartreuse.  Inséré dans une petite pochette, décorée avec un gland et des breloques au choix de ma nièce, à qui ce signet est dédié.
