Hello everyone ! 

Hallo allemaal !

Today I have another post for Hobbycompleet De Duif and I have made an art journal page with some of the new stuff from the shop. 

Vandaag weer een blog bericht van mij. Ik heb voor dit project wat nieuwe artikelen gebruikt en het is een art journal pagina geworden.

I started off with a piece of MM paper and painted it with a blending tool with on of the new Dylusions paint by Ranger called Laidback Lilac. I used gesso to blend and make it disappear on the left. Next I stencilled the leaves using one of the new duos of stamp and stencil, also from Dylusions. I then stamped the leaves overtop. They don't line up exactly but I quite like that. Next I stamped the bear and made a mask. I then stamped him 3 times and coloured him with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I was quite surprised at how well this worked on top of the gesso. Of course it will stay reactive with water. Next I stamped the bird and coloured him in the same way. Lastly I stamped the sentiment on white card stock, cut it into strips and adhered it to the page. I also drew some lines around the page. 
That was it ! 

Eerst heb ik de pagina (mixed Media papier) geschilderd met een van de nieuwe Dylusions kleuren nl. Laidback Lilac en witte gesso. Ik wilde dat de kleur van intens rechts naar niets (dus wit) aan de linkerkant vervaagde en dat is gelukt.
Toen heb ik de blaadjes met witte gesso gestencild. Deze komen van een nieuwe Dylusions set die een stempel en een stencil bevat. Toen de gesso droog was heb ik hier overheen de bijpassende stempel gestempeld. De twee wijken iets af en liggen niet precies op elkaar maar dat vind ik nou juist wel leuk ! Met een zwarte fijne pen heb ik vervolgens de lijntjes rondom de pagina getekend.
Het volgende was de beer; ik heb hem gestempeld en er een masker van gemaakt. Daarna 3 keer boven elkaar gestempeld direct op de pagina. Ik heb ze vervolgens ingekleurd met Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. Ik was eigenlijk verbaasd hoe goed dit werkte boven op de gesso. Uiteraard blijft het reageren met water...
Daarna heb ik het vogeltje op de bovenste beer gestempeld en op dezelfde manier ingekleurd en als laatste heb ik de tekst op een stukje wit card stock gestempeld, in strookjes geknipt en opgeplakt. 

I used the following materials:

Two musical cards

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my DT post for Visible Image. Today I have used the fab new stencil 'Grungy Union Jack' and some of the music themed stamps and made two cards.

For the first one I used the good old Distress Inks, a blending tool, water and the new stencil. Doesn't that look fabulous ! I stamped the words Bold and Beautiful on either side and then put the singer in the middle of the two words. I used a stamping tool for this. 

This one was made with Distress Oxide inks, a blending tool and water. I stamped the words and the musician on it using my stamping tool. I then matted the panel on a piece of pattern paper and on a card. 

I have used the following stamps/stencil:

Grungy Union Jack 

Sing

Jazz it up

Own it

I thought I'd go for a colour I don't use very much: purple ! 

I combined it with blue and white and painted front and back of the envelope masking off the area for the address... (all acrylic paints) 

Next I stamped the background using paint, ink and embossing. 

I used an acrylic paint marker to draw a line along the edge on the front and lastly added my main image which is a banksy stamp.  

I used a whole lot of stamps for this envelope:

20163 - Typeset scallop

20170 - Rows of numbers

20165 - Crossmarks background

20162 - Carved Xs

Holiday hugs....

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my weekly post for Vera Lane Studio. I have made two Christmas cards with the latest new release.

This was card no. 1 and I realised after finishing that Mistletoe berries are not red but white.... duh.. but I still like the card so decided to leave it be and make another one... 

Here's a close-up of those 'wrong' berries ! 

Here is card no. 2 with berries in the right colour ! 

And a close up... 

You'll find this set HERE.

Does my new hat make me look fat ?

Hello everyone, 

and welcome to my blogpost for Katzelkraft ! I have made an art journal page with one of the latest new dogs and he is called Booly ! 

I gelli printed the background using Amsterdam Acrylics, stencils and foam stamps. I then added some more stamping using Oxide and Archival inks. 

Next Booly was stamped and coloured with Copic Markers, cut out and adhered sitting on some washi tape. The sentiment is not by Katzelkraft. I stamped it and cut it into strips and adhered it on the page also. That was it! 

I used the following stamps:

Booly

Fall in love ..

Hello everyone,

I have made another art journal... being back from holiday has its advantages.. no more rushing around to get my DT work done ! I actually have time to play again ! Yay ! I had been wanting to use these images by Vera Lane Studio for ages. I coloured them whilst on holiday in July.

I started by brayering these two pages in my mini Moleskine journal with two shades of pink and two shades of green, waiting for it to dry between colours. I didn't like it.. lol

So I painted it over with white and then wiped it with a baby wipe in an attempt to tone it down. Still didn't like it... 

I then used a stencil by Tim Holtz and more white paint.... I liked it. Yay, result !

Next I struggled to think what else to add on the page, besides this lovely girl and her hearts... In a dark drawer I found a gift bag with flowers on it so I cut one of the flower stems out and adhered it to the bottom of the page. Nice ! I added some shading and then added the girl and the hearts. 

Lastly I added a Tim Holtz chit chat sticker. 

I really like the end result. 

I used a digital image by Vera Lane Studio and you'll find it HERE. 

Lil' tricksters

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my weekly blogpost for Vera Lane Studio.
Today I have 4 ATC's to share... I cut up a piece of 6 x 6 pattern paper and got these for ATC's out of out:

Aren't they cute ! 

So, when I cut out the ATC's I coloured the little flowers on the paper quickly with Copic Markers. 

The image wer all coloured with Copics too apart from the little mummy; that was coloured with watercolours and coloured pencils. 

I found a really old set of rub ons from Tim Holtz and used some of them on the ATC's as well. 

You will find the Lil' tricksters HERE. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today ! 

Industrial man

Hello everyone,

and welcome to this post for Country View Challenges. It is still Miriam's challenge and the subject is 'metal'. I made a mini journal :

I started with a piece of watercolour paper and Distress Oxides... 

I smooshed the inks on my craft sheet, spritzed with water and then dragged the paper through it several times, drying it in between.... 

I then added some background stamping..

Next I stamped the buildings at the bottom, then man; I stamped him on book paper also.. and the sentiment which I embossed with cream embossing powder. 

I adhered the man over the one on the paper and added the sentiment which was stamped on the white edge of the book page. 

And here is where the metal comes in... I took some wire and twisted it into a circle. I attached it to my paper with staples. 

Here is a close up of how that looks... I also added some white splatters and mounted the whole thing on a page out of the same book before gluing it into my journal... 

We hope you will play along with us this month; you could win £20 to spend in the shop ! Just make sure to read the rules. You'll find them HERE.

Hello everyone,

and happy Sunday ! I have another instalment for Vera Lane Studio today ! I do so love the images... I made a tag with one of the 'lil gangstas'.

Isn't he just so cool !!!! I cut a tag from card stock and used a stencil and Distress Oxide Inks to add colour. I then rolled some white paint over it to tone it down and also to make it cooler !! lol. 

I added some pieces of an old map that we used to use for walking in Wales which is really cool too ! 

He was glued in place after I printed him and coloured him with Copic markers. 

The sentiment is from the same set but says Stay Cool... I just used one word and put it into a speech bubble...

Music

Hello everyone,

Today I have a card for Visible Image to share. The challenge this month is "Distress it" so I made a vintage-type card. I hope it gives you inspiration to play along in the challenge !

On a piece of kraft card stock I stamped the stars. I used Archival ink in the colour Potting Soil; I used the same ink to ink the edges and added some black Archival over the top later. I then distressed the edges. The guitar was stamped on book pages and torn out. The edges were inked with the same brown ink. I added the word Music and coloured in the letters on the guitar with a blue coloured pencil. Lastly I matted the panel on a black card. 

I used the following stamps:

Music on world off (just for the word music)

Music speaks

Universal

'sup?

Hello everyone,

today, for Vera Lane Studio I have a small journal page to share. Aren't these little dudes fantastic !
They are called 'Lil gangstas' and they have been up to no good !

They have sprayed the wall with graffiti !! lol...

Anyway, I used a gelli print for this and added the white wall with a stencil and acrylic paint, I accentuated the grouting with a Big Brush marker. I then used paint pens to add the graffiti. 

I printed the boys and the fish bones and coloured them with Copic Markers, cut them out and adhered them to the page. 

Lastly I added the sentiment which is from the same set.

Thank you for stopping by today ! 

So many trees !

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my blogpost for Katzelkraft. I can't get enough of the new dog and cat stamps and today I have used Voody for this AJ page.

I started off with a piece of white card stock. I used Zig Clean Colour Real Brush markers to add colour to the tree stamps. I spritzed them with water and stamped them. I did use a stamp platform for this. This is the first time I attempted this and I think it is not a bad result. I will keep on practising though... Anyway, once I was happy with the trees I added a little blue for the sky and decided on pattern paper for the ground. 

I then stamped the little dog, coloured him with my Copic Markers, cut him out and added him to the page. The sentiment was made up by me and typed and adhered. 

I used the following stamps:

Voody 

KTZ 135

Days of Summer

Hello everyone,

I have made this card for my DT from Hobbycompleet de Duif.

I took one of my gelli prints and added a layer of gel medium over the top so I could colour with my Faber Castle Pitt Brush Markers. This way you have some time to play with the ink before it dries. 

I stamped the flowers and coloured them in. 

I added the word dream with Distress Oxide ink here and there and heat embossed it because it took too long to dry... lol 

Lastly I added the sentiment and matted it on black card. 

I used Kay Carley's Eclectica stamps by PaperArtsy EKC01. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today ! 

September

Hi everyone,

I have another instalment  for the 100 Proof Press 2017 calendar and I am quickly running out of pages as the year is flying by !
Here is what I came up with for September :

She looks like I feel about Summer almost being over... I do NOT like winter. 

So I took one of my gelli printed papers and added some background stamping and some doodling around the edges. 

I stamped her on the page and on some book paper, cut her out and coloured in her face a little. I then adhered her to herself on the page. I did make her dress a little longer to make the image bigger. It fits the page a bit better like this. 

The saying was found on internet and typed and adhered. I will be back next month with another page. 

I have used the following stamps:

4770 - Ms. Attitude

6591 - Stylish Numbers

5809 - Profit and loss sheet
