Enjoy the beach

 Hello lovelies,

Today it's my turn once again to present you a card of mine.

Since I long for sun, sea and beach so much, I took the “Catch a Wave” set and created a scene from it.  The text comes from the “Melon Muncher” set.

It would really be too nice to go for a walk on the beach now. But unfortunately I live far away from the sea and the beach and it's anything but summer weather here at the moment. Yesterday there was even a real storm with hail. Typical Germany. 

I colored the images with Copics, the backgrounds are wiped with Distress Oxides.
The background is one-layering, but the duck, the sun and the sentiment I put on the card with spacer tape.

I hope you have a wonderful day and I'm delighted that you stopped by.  And if you feel like it, feel free to follow me on Instagram.

Yours, Nicole F./kimba-slydog

Cityscape with my favorite mates. . .Puppies!!

I’m pawsitively delighted to share a new stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs. . .”Enjoy The Ride Puppies.”  We can all learn a lesson from our four-legged friends about enjoying the little things in life, like rolling down the window and letting the breeze hit our face.

Today the puppies are enjoying a ride through the city, taking in the scene and hoping the destination is the dog park.

I combined the puppies and their car ride with the GSD “Skyline” stamp set.  To allow the puppies to stick their head out of the window, I fussy cut the window out of the car door. I also stamped just the rolled down window part of the stamp on vellum using StazOn Jet Black ink (I discovered StazOn was a must so that the ink didn’t smear), fussy cut it out and attached it behind the window frame.  Puppies were also fussy cut and I stamped an extra set of paws for the second puppy so he could hang onto the window.

I used distress ink (any blue will do) and a cloud stencil for the background and copics to color the puppies, car and buildings:

Puppy 1:  E37 E15 E13 R14 R43 R32 R30

Puppy 2:  E34 E33 E31 R32 R30

Sunglasses:  C8 C6 C4 and then added some Glossy Accents to the glasses

Car:  R29 R27 R35 C3 C1

Buildings:  T3-T7, E99 E97 E95 E53 E50 E37 E29 E09 E08 E01 B01

Be like these puppies and remember “Life is a journey, enjoy the ride!!”

I love you more than pie........

 Hello dear creative friends,

after a long break, I'm pleased to show you something of mine again.

Even though I like the collage cards, I wanted to stamp a scene again. I used 4 sets from Gerda Steiner Designs for this. The cute cat and the cute dog are from the “On the table” set. Aren't they just so cute how they long for the cake? 

The little bear with the cake is from the “More than pie” set.

I stamped the fence 3 times next to each other. It comes from the “Hoppiness” set and the “Happy Birthday” comes from the “Happy Hoppy” set. 

I think it's great that you can combine so many sets with each other.

As always, I colored with Copics.

The cat with W7, W5, W3, W1, RV21, R20 and G40.

The dog with E49, E47, E44, E43, E42, E40, B00 and R20.

The fence with E30, E35, E47 and E49.

The bear with E35, E55, E31, BG93, E70, E74, E77, E79 and R20.

Accents are set with the Sakura Gelly Roll 10.

The sky was wiped with Distress Oxides in broken china and tumbled glass.

I hope I was able to put a little smile on your face with this card and send my best wishes from a finally sunny Germany.

Yours, Nicole
