Summer layout in layers

Alexandra Renke has got a super sweet new paper collection otu in the shops. I have tested it out on a layout, created in dimentional layers. 

The pattern on the paper is plants, flowers, mushrooms and different nature creatures - painted in watercolours. Projects with these papers could be delicate and super sweet.  

In this layout, the mushroom paper, has been used as a background. The grss, moss, leaves and flowers . has been fussy cut from the papers, and added in layers with 3D foam tape. 

The girl, has been fussy cut and glued on with 3D foam tape, to fit into the landscape. The word "summer fun" has been created with dies from Kaisercraft (DD748 Decorative Die Summer Words).

Some sewing thread, has been used under the layers of grass, to create effect.

Altered birdhouse with Kaisercraft's High tea collection

 Today, I am showing a spring project with the High Tea collection in Kaisercraft's blog. This is an altered wooden house and a candle stick, I had stored for some time. I have used the blue and white papers from the collection, together with collectables and wooden embellishments.

The bird house, has been covered with paper, and then decorated.

I used a stencil with gesso, to create some texture on the roof. Then I added strips of paper and collectables.

At the front of the house, I have added parts of a wooden embellishment, and layered it with a lace circle from the collectables. The candle stick has got a slight colour wash with light blue chalk paint.

Part of the paper has a "ripped wallpaper effect". I enhanced this effect, with pieces of torn paper.

Mixed media Easter egg

Easter is soon going to be here. This year, I have only decorated a few Easter eggs. This is one with my favourite colours, white and blue.

The Easter egg has been created with a simple cardboard Easter egg.  Flowers and embellishments has been added, and then it has been spray painted white.

The flowers has then been spray painted blue and dry painted with white and blue. The mists are from 13 arts and Kaisercraft. Paint from Finnabair's collections.

The little text "blessing" is a sticker from Kaisercraft.

Wishing you a happy Easter

What does the fox say? Cards with new motives from Alexandra Renke

Hobbykunst has got a fantastic sweet paper collection from Alexandra Renke. One of the papers is with some foxes, painted in watercolour. The paper has 36 motives on one sheet of paper. 

I created six card in the same style. The motives are so sweet, but I wanted to create card suitable for different age groups. The background paper is one sheet of paper from Kaisercraft. I have also used die cuts, pieces of lace, wooden embellishments and sticker words from TIm Holtz. Some of the background has got some effects created with background stamps, stencils nd ink. 

The different cards:

Decorating the back of the cards?

I mostly decorate the back of the cards very simple. To me, the cards seems unfished without something at the back. Here, I have used left over from the background paper at the front. I have used a "created by" digital stamp and a small mouse from one of Alexandra Renke's papers.
