Thankful - Kaisercraft's November Sketch challenge

Kaisercraft is out with a new Sketch challenge for November. I have used the papers from the Provincial collection.

The photo, is taken in Monkey Mia in Shark Bay (Western Australia).  I have used stencil and gesso on the background. I have also stamped for effect.

Mixed media Christmas card

This is a Christmas card created with the "Holly Jolly" collection from Kaisercraft. 

The background for this card was made with one of the embossed papers from the paper pad. Spraying parts of the paper with Kaisermists, creates fantastic effects. The background papers takes the colour, while the embossed parts of the paper stays white and glossy. This makes the embossed pattern pop out.

Other: Metal embellishment and white paint.

It's the little moments that make life big - mixed media layout

One of the paper collections from Kaisercraft this month is The Fairy dust collection. I have created a layout using the specialty paper and some of the papers.

Some of the butterflies are from the collectables, while others are fussy cutted from the papers.

I have layered  the items on the layout to create a three-dimensional effect.

Butterfly card with dies

We are showing cards with the butterfly die (DD544 '3) and stamp set (CS241)  in Kaisercraft's blog today

I made a simple card, using the die "Decorative Doilies DD504". 

The butterfly has been created by stamping on acetate and using the die to cut it out. I have used a diecut created with the die, under the acetate butterfly.

The card has space for a message under the card.

A rustic mixed media layout

Today, we are showing rustic layout with the Ma Cherie collection in Kaisercraft's blog.

I decided to use one of my "art" photos, taken in England, with roses against a stone wall.

Text stamps and gesso has been used on the background. I have also used white ink on the flowers.

I have used lots of flowers from the collectables (CT841), but fussy cutted the white edge around them away. I have also used corrugated cardboard (recycled package material) among the papers.

Autumn mixed media layout

Ma Cherie collection is a wonderful collection with fantastic colours. I made a layout for Kaisercraft, inspired of the colours around me here in Norway. The photo is from my trip to Japan this summer.

I have used different flowers and metal on the background. 

Behind the photo, I have used cheese cloth. The cheese cloth has been colourd with Kaisercraft's ink pads.

The butterflies are made by stamping on acetate.
