The last summer evenings

 Hello everyone, 

For the second inspiration piece for Country View Challenges' 'Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness' themed challenge I have made an artjournal page. 

There is still lots of time to play along with us! Before you do please read the RULES! 

Here's how I made it:

I used Distress Oxide inks and water to make the background. 

I then stamped the focal point on the page and on a piece of separate paper. I used watercolour paper for this project. 

Some background stamping using the same Distress Oxide inks.

A bit more stamping, this time with black ink.

Adding some pieces of washi tape. 

I decided to use watercolours for the focal image. 

After cutting the image out I glued it over the one on the page. 

Lastly I added some Tim Holtz clippings stickers as a sentiment. 

Thank you for stopping by today ! 

The silence of the night

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to my blog where today I am sharing a postcard that I made for the new Challenge over at Country View Challenges. The theme this month is 'Season of mists & mellow fruitfulness' and it was set by the lovely Debs. I have made a postcard:

Here's how I made it:

I made a gelli print with these inks. I smooshed them on the plate, rolled over them lightly with a brayer and printed. I did made a mask for the circle so I could stamp the moon in it. It would have been just as easy to just stamp the moon over the colour, so not use a mask.

Next I stamped the moon, using a few colours on top of each other, a yellow and a couple of greys. I then filled in the white with Distress Oxide ink and a waterbrush trying not to make the rest run. 

I tidied up the edges of the moon and then stamped the tree. 

Next I stamped the rabbit. 

I also added some highlights and then stamped the background with these Katzelkraft background stamps. 

Lastly I added some shading on the ground and a sentiment which came from a set of Tim Holtz Clippings. These are the Halloween ones.  

I hope you like the challenge and will play along with us! Just make sure to read the rules before you do. 

You will find them HERE.
