night

Hello people from blogland, I hope you're all well ...
We're well into October now and it's time for a new challenge over at Fun with ATCs. This time we ask you for ... no, not Halloween, not Autumn/Fall either - but for NIGHT.
Please show us your ATCs with your ideas of night.
---------------
Hallo Blogger, ich hoffe, es geht Euch allen gut ...
Der Oktober ist schon fortgeschritten und es ist Zeit für eine neue Herausforderung bei Fun with ATCs. Diesmal möchten wir von Euch ..... nein, weder Halloween noch Herbst sehen, sondern NACHT.
Zeigt uns Eure Vorstellungen von Nacht auf einem ATC ...

For this ATC I stamped on a white piece of cardstock and clear embossed the moon. The background is sponged with Distress Inks. Then I ironed the embossing off, applied some crackle paint rock candy and sponged it over with black DI when it was dry.
---------------
Ich habe auf einen weißen Untergrund gestempelt und den Mond klar embosst. Der HG ist gewischt mit Distress Inks; anschließend habe ich die Embossingschicht heruntergebügelt, crackle paint aufgebracht und als die trocken war mit schwarz drübergewischt.

Please hop over on the FwATCs blog to see the ATCs my fellow DT members created.

I'm entering this into the Musically Challenged blog where the challenge is 'Bark at the Moon'. I hope it fits :-D

Thanks so much for visiting and have a good week!
Danke für's Vorbeischauen und eine schöne Woche Euch.

Hugs, Suzanne xxx

Fun with ATCs challenge #98: 3 stamps or more / 3 Stempel oder mehr

Hello all and thanks for stopping by.
Just a quick post today to share my ATC for the FwATCs challenge #98.
-----------------------
Hallo all Ihr da draußen und vielen Dank für's Vorbeischauen.
heute nur ein kurzer Eintrag, um mein ATC für die Challenge Nr. 98 bei FwATCs zu zeigen.

still (as always, actually LOL) in Halloween / spooky mood.
The background - surprise, surprise - is a gelli plate print again, love it so much. The (black embossed) archway is a gorgeous stamp by indigo blu, the words are from paper artsy (also black embossed and cut out from another gp background), the graveyard with the tree and the fab monk are stamps by Acapella Stempel - Heidi makes such a great range of marvelous and unusual stamps.
--------------------
immer noch und immer wieder im Halloween / Gruselmodus :-D
Der Hintergrund - es wird niemanden überraschen - ist wieder ein Gelli Plate Druck. Die Bögen sind ein klasse Stempel von Indigo Blu, die Wörter von Paper Artsy und der Friedhof mit Baum sowie der Mönch sind Stempel von Heidi/Acapella Stempel. Ich liebe sie ....


To get some inspiration please hop over on the Fun with ATCs-Blog and have a thorough look at the gorgeous little artworks my fellow DT members made.

stripes / Streifen

is the new challenge over at Fun with ATCs.

Hello peeps, a warm welcome to my new stalkers (only 9 to go LOL - watch this space for news :-D) and I hope you're all well wherever you are, enjoying the probably last sunshine and doing some awesome crafting.
Again a fortnight has passed and we ask you to incorporate stripes into your ATC. Shouldn't be that hard ;-)
---------------------------------
Hallo meine Lieben, ein herzliches Willkommen meinen neuen Verfolgern, ich hoffe, es geht Euch allen gut und Ihr genießt die wahrscheinlich letzten Sonnenstrahlen und seid fleißig am Basteln.
Schon wieder 14 Tage später und wir bei FwATCs möchten diesmal Streifen auf Euren ATCs sehen.

I used the tape I masked this card (and others) with cut it in smaller stripes with an x-acto knife and and glued them down on a black piece of cardstock. Then I heat embossed the word and the little flower (DarkroomDoor) with white ep - done. That simple :-)

-----------------------------
Ich habe das Masking Tape benutzt, mit dem ich diese Karte (und andere gleicher Sorte) maskiert habe, habe es dünner geschnitten und auf schwarzen Cardstock aufgeklebt. Das Wort und das Blümchen (beides DarkroomDoor) weiß embosst - fertig :-)


That's a peek of another ATC which I only show you as a second one because the stripes aren't that obvious.
----------------
Hier ist ein Ausschnitt eines anderen ATCs, das ich 'verworfen' habe, weil die Streifen nicht so offensichtlich sind.

Like above I adhered the tape onto some cardstock, embossed it with a distressed stripes embossing folder and added some inka gold turquoise. Then I die cut it with the T.H. butterfly die. The background is made with ecoline ink and a grass stamp (also T.H.).
---------------------------
Genau wie oben habe ich das tape aufgeklebt, mit einem 'distressed stripes' Embossing folder durch die Big Shot neudelt und mit inka gold türkis akzentuiert, anschließend die Schmetterlinge ausgestanzt. Der Hintergrund ist mit Ecoline Tinte gemacht und einem Grasstempel.


Thanks a bunch for stopping by.

die cuts

Hi to all of you who've been awaiting the new challenge over at ATCs with excitement :-) and of course hi to all the visitors, too :-) Hope you're all well and enjoying some good time crafting - or doing whatever people around the world are doing in Summer.

Again a fortnight passed by in a wink and it's time for a new challenge at FwATCs. This time we ask for die cuts.
-------------------------
Schon wieder sind 14 Tage vergangen wie nix und es ist Zeit für eine neue Herausforderung bei Fun with ATCs. Diesmal möchten wir gerne Stanzteile auf Euren ATCs sehen.

I used another one of the gelli plate backgrounds and a stamp by chocolate baroque (heat embossed with black ep). The fence is a die cut by sizzix, it's covered with a few colors of distress paint and heat embossed afterwards.

For some inspiration please have a look at the gorgeous ATCs the other DT members created, you can see them on the FwATCs challenge blog.

Thanks so much for having a look and each comment is highly appreciated :-)

'kitsch'

is the challenge #93 over at FwATCs this time. For some of you it might be a real challenge :-) or so I heard.
Please don't let that keep you from giving it a try. We're looking forward very much to what you'll come up with.

A while ago I got some collage elements as a freebie along with a stamp order and thought they'd fit :-)
The background is another gelli print. Around the edges I did some embossing, first with frantage enamel teal and then with ep gold. The flower stamp is a freebie by viva las vegas, colored with distress paint.

We'd be very happy if you'd give it a try and play along.

all good things go in threes

Hi to all of you who've been awaiting the new challenge over at ATCs with excitement :-) and of course hi to all the visitors, too :-) Hope you're all well and enjoying some good time crafting - or doing whatever people around the world are doing in Summer.

Again a fortnight passed by in a wink and it's time for a new challenge at FwATCs. This time we ask for a set of three ATCs that recognisably belong together.
-------------------------
Schon wieder sind 14 Tage vergangen wie nix und es ist Zeit für eine neue Herausforderung bei Fun with ATCs. Diesmal möchten wir gerne eine Serie von drei ATCs sehen, die sichtlich zusammen gehören.

This is what I made:

The background is made with some paper from an old encyclopedia I found in the bulk trash (there were at least two more but they've been too soaked to rescue) and dyed with tea. I stamped some images from stamper's best and cherry pie onto it. Then I stamped postmarks on a gelli print as well as the animals which I cut out and adhered to the postmarks (postmarks and animals are by Acapella Stempel).
-------------------------
Für den Hintergrund habe ich Seiten aus einem alten Lexikon, das ich auf dem Sperrmüll gefunden habe, mit Tee eingefärbt und mit Stempeln von Stamper's Best und Cherry Pie bestempelt. Die Briefmarken habe ich auf einen gelli Druck gestempelt, genau so wie separat die Herren, anschließend alles aufeinander geklebt. Briefmarken und Tiere sind von Acapella Stempel.

For some inspiration please have a look at the gorgeous ATCs the other DT members created, you can see them on the FwATCs challenge blog.

-------------------------

Bei Fun with ATCs gibt es eine neue Challenge, diesmal besonders für die Filmliebhaber unter Euch - "Filmklassiker".

I couldn't decide and made three ATCs ...
-------------------------
Ich konnte mich nicht wirklich entscheiden und habe drei ATCs gemacht:

Stamps are by oxford impressions and art journey plus a scrap from my dictionary.

Stamps by crafty individuals, Acapella stempel, Andy Skinner, hampton arts.
Both backgrounds are gelli plate prints.

I had some blood left from my small zombie-project. Stamps: Tim Holtz, unknown.

Can you guess which films they are supposed to be? :-)
 -------------------------
Könnt Ihr erraten, welche Filme das sein sollen? :-)

under water ... fun with ATCs challenge #89

Hello followers and visitors, I hope you're all well wherever you are.

I don't know where the time goes these days ... again it's a new challenge at the fun with ATCs blog: we ask you to show us what you think is going on under the water.
-----------
Für die neue Challenge auf dem Fun with ATCs Blog möchten wir Eure Vorstellungen davon sehen, was sich unter der Wasseroberfläche abspielt.

We all know it's not all peaceful and beautiful down there, not everything love, peace and harmony ... I caught this mermaid impaling a fish for dinner ...

The background is a gelli plate print again, I thought the colors would work well to picture the sea. There's a gorgeous shimmer in it when you hold it at the right angle ... The stamp is by stampotique, unfortunately you can't see the shimmer in the mermaid's tail either. The hair is colored with DI reinker and covered with red stickles. At the bottom I firstly put a bit of modeling paste onto the cardstock, then adhered some bird sand with glossy accents and finally sprinkled some frantage embossing enamel shabby white over it. The fish and the shell are cut out from different gelli prints. Finally I used some chipboard 'grass' painted with distress paint and covered with glossy accents as a coral. Some more embossing enamel (aged teal) around the edges - finished.
-----------
 Der Hintergrund ist ein gelli plate Druck, die Fische (Artemio, Art Journey) und die Muschel (Artemio) sind auf andere Drucke aufgestempelt und ausgeschnitten. Der HG hat einen wunderschönen changierenden Farbverlauf, was man hier leider nicht sehen kann. Am unteren Rand habe ich ein wenig Modellierpaste aufgebracht, Vogelsand mit glossy accents aufgeklebt und embossing enamel shabby white darübergerstreut. Um den Rand habe ich mit enamel aged teal embosst. Die Meerjungfrau ist von Stampotique. Die Koralle ist ein Chipboard Element ('Gräser') mit distress paint eingefärbt und mit glossy accents überzogen.

For your inspiration please have a look at the awesome pieces my teamies made on the Fun with ATCs blog. We're looking very much forward to your many artistic entries.
Thanks for playing along with our challenge and have a great time being crafty.

I'm also entering this into the smudgy antics challenge where the awesome DT asks to use texture in a project.

Hugs, Suzanne xxx

Never refuse to reuse

A very warm welcome to my newest followers ♥
Sorry, I don't look there very often because there's hardly ever any movement :-)

And hello folks, followers and passers by, I hope you're all well, although Autumn seems to have returned ... :-/

Another fortnight passed by in a wink and it's time for challenge #88 at the Fun with ATCs blog which is recycling. We ask you to recycle/reuse whatever you may think of or find in your surroundings and make it into a single ATC-sized project.
----
Schon wieder sind 14 Tag rum und es gibt eine neue Challenge bei FwATCs: recycling.

These are my examples:

With this one I used a pendant my children found somewhere outside for me. They like bringing things like this home in case I could use them for something :-D
The background is a gelli print from my stash I used a tree stencil on. I tried to age the pendant a little bit by applying AAI, embossing powder and some patina stuff.
--------------
Diesen Anhänger habend ie Kinder irgendwo gefunden und ich habe versucht, ihn zu altern - mit mehr oder weniger Erfog. HG ist ein gelli Druck mit Baum Maske.

On this I used an old finger puppet I dug out from the mess that's also called child's room:
--------------
Eine alte Fingerpuppe auf gelli HG mit Katzelkraft Stempel :-)

Another gelli print background and a katzelkraft stamp.

Here I used some printer colors my children (yes, they again) brought from the bulk trash. I made the background with canned air and added a crafty individuals stamp.
--------------
Noch ein Fund der Kinder: Druckerfarbe, die jemand auf den Sperrmüll geschmissen hat, 'verblasen' und mit einem Crafty Individuals Motiv bestempelt.

Please check out the awesome little projects my fellow DT members made over at the Fun with ATCs blog and have a blast creating your own ATCs with recycled items or material.

Thanks a lot for having a look  :-D

ATCs with texture

Hi peeps, followers and passers by, I hope you're all well now that spring is in full bloom :-)

It's time for challenge #87 over at the Fun with ATCs blog. This time we ask you for lots and lots of various texture on your ATCs.

These two are my entries:

The background on this ATC is made with a technique Buttons showed on the Frilly and Funky blog some time ago. I stamped a cog stamp from Tim Holtz' time traveller plate into the viva decor ferro while it was still a bit wet. I added a few metal embellishments and a black embossed stamp image by paper artsy/hot picks.
-------------------
Der HG ist enstanden mit einer Technik, die Buttons vor einiger Zeit auf dem Frilly and Funky Blog erklärt hat.  Ich habe einen Zahnradstempel in die Masse eingedrückt, bevor sie vollständig getrocknet war, und ein paar Metallembellishments aufgebracht. Der Stempel ist von Paper Artsy/HotPicks und schwarz embosst.

For this one I used a technique Andy Skinner teaches in his 'rock your book' online workshop so please understand that out of respect I can't tell you the how-to. I used a skull I bought from the €-shop once and a metal spider from T.H. The look on the skull developed by accident. I painted it with distress paint antique linen first, then overpainted it with fresco crackle paint which I dried with the heat gun. Then I applied some distress stain vintage photo and dabbed it back with a kitchen towel. I really don't know what exactly happened - or not ;o) - there are no cracks but I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. I squeezed some red stickles into the eye sockets to finish it off.
------------------------
Für diesen Hintergrund habe ich eine Technik verwendet, die Andy Skinner in seinem Online-Workshop 'Rock your Book' lehrt. Dazu eine Metallspinne von Tim Holtz und ein Schädel, den ich mal in einem Euroshop  mitgenommen habe. Das Aussehen des Schädels ist per Zufall entstanden: ich habe ihn zuerst mit Distress Paint antique linen angemalt, dann Fresco crackle paint drübergepinselt und mit dem Fön getrocknet. Anschließend habe ich Distress Stain vintage photo aufgebracht und das Ganze mit einem Küchentuch wieder abgetupft. Risse sind nun keine drin, aber mir gefällt er trotzdem.

If you could do with some inspiration please hop over to the Fun with ATCs blog and have a look at the awesome ATCs my fellow DT members created.

Thank you ever so much for stopping by ...
Have fun with loads of texture :-D
Hugs, Suzanne xxx

there's magic in the air ...

Firstly a warm welcome to my newest followers, I'm very happy and thankful to have you here and hope you like some of the things you see :o)

Again two weeks have passed and it's the 86th challenge over at Fun with ATCs.
This time we ask you for ATCs that picture your conceptions of 'magic' in whatever way. These are my entries:

The background of the first one is simply sprayed with some Moon Shadow Spray, the sourcerer is by acapella stamps and the bottles by vilda stamps. At some point I decided to add a little bit of a woodgrain stamp, but don't remember what company it is by.

For the second one I used the distress paint marble technique or whatever it's called (basically smear some paint on a mat - antique linen, broken china, rusty hinge - spray some water on it and pull the cardstock through), then I coated it with a layer of dylusion spray white. The voodoo doll is a very brave attempt to draw something on my own LOL. Finally I added some stickles onto the top of the needles and sprinkled some frantage embossing enamel black and ivory over the whole ATC. Stamps are by clear art stamps and zettiology.
-------------------------------------------
Der HG des ersten ist nur gesprüht, der Magier ist von Acapella, die Flaschen von Vilda Stamps. Zum Schluss habe ich noch ein bisschen Holzstruktur gestempelt.

Für das zweite: distress paint auf eine Matte, mit Wasser besprüht, Karte durchgezogen. Übersprüht mit Dylusion Spray weiß. Die Voodoopuppe ist eine bescheidene Eigenkreation, die anderen Stempel von clear art stamps und zettiology.
Zum Schluss: ein bisschen Frantage Embsossing Enamel schwarz und elfenbein darübergekrümelt und Stickles auf die Nadelköpfe.
-------------------------------------------

Please check out the awesome ATCs my fellow DT members came up with on the FwATCs challenge blog and get inspired. Have fun showing us your magic :-)

Fun with ATCs challenge #85: windows/doors -- Fenster/Türen

Hello everyone, faithful followers and passers-by, and thank you so much for your visit.

Another fortnight went by in a snap and it's time for a new challenge over at Fun with ATCs - this time we ask you for windows and/or doors.

Because I couldn't think of a suitable stamp in time I went for a photo-collage with some of my holiday snaps of last year ... way too looooong ago *sighs*
The background is sprayed with dylusion sprays and the two stamps of which you can only see the tiniest detail are by artemio.
------------------------
Weil mir nicht rechtzeitig ein Stempel in den Sinn kam, habe ich mich diesmal für eine Fotocollage entschieden mit Schnappschüssen aus dem letzten Urlaub, der viel zu lange her ist.
HG: Dylusions und zwei Stempel von Artemio.
-----------------------

So, now it's your turn. We are looking forward to the wonderful little artworks you'll come up with. Please hop over to FwATCs and have a look at the awesome ATCs my fellow DT members made and get inspired to create your own.

Thanks for having a look.

writing/script (schreiben/Schrift) - FwATCs challenge #84

Thank you so very much for the many, many entries you provided for our last challenge. We've had a very hard time to pick just three for our favourites.

Now again a fortnight has rushed by and it's time for a new challenge over at Fun with ATCs. This time we'd like to see what you come up with when you're thinking about writing and/or script.

The sentiment is a bit hard to read on this one, it says: The role of the writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say (frei übersetzt: Es ist nicht die Aufgabe des Autor zu sagen, was wir alle sagen können, sondern das, was wir unfähig sind auszudrücken).

Both backgrounds are made with panpastels, stamps are by darkroomdoor, stamper's best and docrafts.

-------------
 Bei beiden ATCs sind die Hintergründe mit Panpastels gewischt, der Schriftstempel im HG ist von Darkroomdoor. Die anderen Stempel sind von den oben genannten Firmen.


 We're very much looking forward to your doubtless gorgeous entries. To get inspired please hop over to the FwATCs blog and have a look at the stunning ATCs my fellow DT members came up with.
Have fun!

Thanks for having a look.

gothic - Fun with ATCs challenge #83

Thank you so very much for the many, many entries you provided for our last challenge. We've had a very hard time to pick just three for our favourites.

Now again a fortnight has rushed by and it's time for a new challenge over at Fun with ATCs. This time we'd like to see your gothic-themed ATCs.

For my ATC I firstly sprayed the background with some moon shadow spray by Lindy's stamp gang. It has a great iridescent effect. Then I stamped and masked the 'fallen angel' (don't remember what the image is called actually) and the moon and sprayed faded jeans, a little black soot and dusty concord (all self made sprays from DI reinkers and water) on the top to create a kind of night sky. Afterwards I stamped the graveyard gate and the tree with the birds. Because the sky seemed a little too dark I took some color away by using a waterbrush. The coloring is done with DI reinker iced spruce, tattered rose and fired brick.
Stamps are by stampinback, cherry pie and de stempelwinkel.

We're very much looking forward to your doubtless gorgeous entries. To get inspired please hop over to the FwATCs blog and have a look at the stunning ATCs my fellow DT members came up with.
Have fun!

I'm also entering this into the newly launched 'left of center' challenge, where anything goes as long as it is for example gothic:-) for further details and rules you can have a look at their blog.

Hintergrund: gesprüht mit moon shadow spray von Lindy's stamp gang und selbst gemachten Sprays mit Distress Nachfüllern. Teils vorher, teils nachdem ich den 'gefallenen Engel' und den Mond maskiert habe. Bunt gemalt habe ich auch mit DI Nachfüllern und einem Wassertankpinsel.

Thank you ever so  much for having a look.
Hugs, Suzanne xxx

Vintage - Fun with ATCs challenge #82

this fortnight we ask you to create vintage themed ATCs over at the FwATCs challenge blog.
Last time we had lots and lots of gorgeous entries of you and we hope you'll join us again.

Sorry, I'm a bit late due to some health issues but here's my ATC:

The background is made with the wrinkle free distress technique (victorian velvet and vintage photo) and the stamp images are by indigo blu, paper artsy/hot picks and graphic 45. I gave them a little bit of color with neocolor II water-soluble pastels.

We're very much looking forward to your entries. To get inspired you can hop over and have a look at the fab pieces of my fellow DT members.

Thanks for visiting.

Fun with ATC Challenge #79 - Third Birthday/celebration --- and a surprise for you

This time we're celebrating the third birthday of the Fun with ATCs challenge blog with a blog hop and as a surprise and a 'thank you' for all of you participants we have - thanks to the generosity of the sponsors - some great prizes to win for those who enter an ATC and comment on all of the blogs of the DT members :-)
The winners will be drawn randomly.


If you're here and visiting me you probably started hopping on the main page of the challenge

Fun with ATCs Challenge
via
Irit
and
Claudia

and are now coming from Mark

So here is my ATC

A scrap of another Gelli Plate background.
I adhered some masking tape on a piece of cardstock to color it with/on the plate. After pulling it off I decided to use a scrap of the cardstock as a background for my ATC, swiped some DI onto it and stamped the Tim Holtz circles with distress ink, too. Afterwards I added some pieces of the so colored masking tape.
Other stamps are by inkadinkado.

So now please take the time and visit my fellow DT members' blogs to have a look at their gorgeous and stunning ATCs:

Uta
Alison
Caro

and last but not least please have a thorough look around the pages of our generous sponsors who will provide some of their stunning stuff for you to win - there's plenty of great stuff to discover:

Tando Creative

Visible Image

and

100 Proof Press 

Edit:
I ordered a few stamps by 100 proof press at the beginning of January and I've had the most positive experience with them; they have an excellent customer service and are very generous. Great shop! And great stamps of course. Can't wait to use them.
I think the next order won't have to wait that long :-)


Now have loads of fun with the challenge and good luck to all of you!

pick a song ... for FwATCs #77

Again a fortnight is over and so there's a new challenge at Fun with ATCs: pick a song.

For the first ATC I chose "Flieger, grüß mir die Sonne ..." (covered) by a German Band 'Extrabreit' (roughly translated 'Aviator, say hello to the sun, the stars and the moon ...').

video: http://www.myvideo.de/watch/5685978/Extrabreit_Flieger_Gruess_mir_die_Sonne
(sorry for the crappy video, couldn't find a better one)

The background is inked with DI tumbled glass, broken china, faded jeans, iced spruce, dusty concord and a tiny shade of black, spritzed with water and stamped as seen. A few embossed stars, and the compass is stamped with silver acrylic paint.


The second one is 'The Wizard' by Madness:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MUdEAbm8cM

The background is swiped through some DI spiced marmelade, moistened with glimmer mist pearl (for the 'magic', you know? *g), stamped as seen, the wizard is by acapella stamps, colored with DI, the beard with stickles diamond, cut out and added to the ATC.
Then I added some more stickles and some embossing. Much glitter ... forgive me :-D

I chose these two songs for no particular reason, they just just happen to be on my mobile among others.
At the moment I prefer - if at all - listening to more sad and melancholy songs.

Please come over to Fun with ATCs and have a look at the gorgeous works the other DT members made and we'd be very delighted if you'd have a play, too.

Suzanne xx

'faces' for FwATCs #75

Over at 'Fun with ATCs' we want to see faces for the next fortnight.

I made a quite simple ATC.
The background is sprayed with dylusion sprays, the leaves are stamped with stamps by Dyan Reaveley and colored in with distress stains peeled paint and forest moss. Among the stamps I scattered some faces here and there, which I stamped on a scrap of design paper with a stampotique stamp and then cut out.
On the house (zettiology), too, are two faces. I outlined some of the images with a black pen.
The mushroom stamp is by hampton art, I covered the caps of the mushrooms with glossy accents.

 I made another, rather 'dull' one, but I think the stamp image itself is very impressive. So I'm going to share it with you anyway :-)

We'd be happy if you'd join us with our challenge over at 'Fun with ATCs' at some point over the next two weeks.

Thanks for looking.
