A new adventure...

Hello everyone,

I am excited to tell you that I was asked to blog for PaperArtsy and of course I had to accept.

Today is my first posting on the PaperArtsy Blog and I invite you to hop {HERE} over and have a look if you want to see what I made and how I made it ! Can you guess what the theme is ???

Here's a sneak peek !

Thank you so much for stopping by and hopping over ! 

Flower

Hello everyone,

For the challenge over at Art Journey I have made an ATC. The theme this month is 'letters and numbers' and I have made an ATC.

On an ATC which was used to mop up inks I stencilled the numbers and stamped the words (letters). I doodled with black and white pens and stamped the thistle with black Archival ink. I added the word Flower again, this time on a piece of white card stock. A black line around the edges finished it off.

Thank you so much for stopping by ! 

Enjoy every moment...

Hello everyone,

For the January challenge over at Art Journey where the theme is stencils I made this card. I used three different stencils in three different ways.

First I coloured the panel with Distress Inks; Peeled Paint, Mermaid Lagoon and Dusty Concord. I then put the first stencil on which has big numbers and sprayed water through it. I let is sit for a little while and mopped the water up with a paper towel. Next I used a chevron stencil, a blending tool and some more of the same inks which gives a totally different effect. Lastly, the third stencils with the little dots was used with a palet knife and some modelling paste. 

That was the stencilling done; next I stamped the background and also splattered a bit of water on it to get some more interest. I then stamped the boy and used a water brush to light up his legs and face. Lastly I stamped the sentiment, cut it into strips and added it to the panel. I also doodled around the strips with a black pen.

Tick tock

Hello everyone,

Today I have made a card for the Art Journey challenge "Anything goes". You'll find  all the details HERE.

This card was created by white embossing the flowers and stamping the lady first. I then masked the lady and colouring the background with Distress Inks and a blending tool.

I then over stamped with the swirl and doodled the black line around the card. 

Next I coloured the lady with colour pencils and when that was done I stamped the sentiment, doodled a line around it and adhered it to the card. 

I used the following stamps  :

Aunts 

Ripple

Hello everyone,

I won a stamp set last month playing in the Challenge over at Art Journey. Yay ! So I decided to play again and use it in this month's Challenge "Black and white" together with another one, also from Art Journey. Here is my card :

I choose the set "Grunge" as my prize and used it all over the background and the bottom. I used the flowers from the 'Nature Flowers' set for the thistles and also the sentiment. I did some dripping with water, white ink and black ink and went around the edges with a black ink pad. I matted it on to black card stock and then adhered the panel onto a white card.

Read

Hello everyone,

This is my first of two posts for today. I fancied playing along with some challenges so that is what I did. The first one I did is over at the Art Journey blog where the challenge this month is : Make a bookmark. Here's mine:

The bookmark was painted with acrylic paints. After these dried I stamped the background and went around the edge with a black ink pad. Next I stamped the three flowers on book paper, cut them out and adhered them to the tag. The word read was made by cutting letters out of the same book paper. Lastly I glued the whole thing on a bit of card stock and added some ribbon.

Rooster card

Hello everyone,

Today I have a card to share that I made for the May challenge at Art Journey.
The theme this month is to use stamps from one stamp sheet or two single stamps. I chose to use the chicken set.

I made this background a while ago by painting and stencilling a 12' x 12' sheet of white card stock with the Dylusions paints and cutting up in 6 postcard/card size pieces. One of them was perfect for this card I thought. I stamped the background with the post mark stamp from the set and then added the text stamp to the top. Next I stamped the rooster from the chicken set and coloured him, cut him out and clear embossed him. I added some washi tape and put the rooster on top to 'ground' him. I also put a bit of the same washi tape in the top right corner for balance. Lastly I doodled a line around the card front and adhered it to a white card. 

I will also enter this card into the 'Take a stamp' May challenge at Craft Stamper. 

Thank you for stopping by today ! 

Tulip

Hello everyone,

Today I have made a card for the Challenge over at Art Journey. The theme is 'grid'.
I finally bought some or their stamps last weekend at the Art Specially Event so that I can play along with the challenges.

The card front was coloured with Distress Inks and I dripped some water and black ink on it to make it more interesting. I stamped the background and when I was happy with it I cut it into 6 pieces and adhered the bits to a piece of black card stock. This is the 'grid'. Next I stamped the tulip and coloured it with Copic Markers, cut it out and clear embossed it. I adhered it on top of my 'grid'. Lastly I stamped the ticket from the tulip set twice and cut them out. I stapled them to the card front. 

The card front was then adhered to a white card.
