One of a kind

 Hello everyone, 

For today's GDT project for AALL & Create I have decorated a mini canvas. I have no progress photographs this time because I simply forgot to take them. I do have a VIDEO tutorial though! 


I tried too make an antique picture that was found in the attic or somewhere. I started way to bright but got there in the end. 





A close up of all that lovely crackle...


If you would like to see how I made this please go to my YouTube Channel

Hip to be square...

Hello everyone,

Today I am hosting the challenge over at Stampotique Designers' Challenge and I chose 'Squares" as I wanted to get out of my comfort zone of using circles all the time. So why not join me an create something with squares in any form or any material on your project ! Have fun....

Here's mine :

I started with a piece of Mixed Media paper. I cut some squares of a different paper and adhered them randomly to my MM paper. I used India Inks to colour the whole thing. I used pink, orange and yellow inks. I applied them with a brush in two layers. Once I was happy with the result I took some colour pencils to add some definition around the squares. Next I stamped the background and splattered some white ink on it too. With a white gel pen I went around the edges and added a line with some tiny squares in it. 
I used Scootergirl as my main image and stamped her, without her wheels on white card stock. I replaced the wheels with squares. I coloured her with Copic Markers, cut her out and cut off her crown. I added a wing from the tree topper stamp. (List of all the stamps used at the bottom of this post). I adhered her to the page and added a little white Big Brush Marker around her to make her stand out a little more. 
All the time I was making this, the song "It's hip to be square" kept going through my mind so I decided to use this as the sentiment...  I used sticky letters for this but they were green, so I painted them with a white paint pen. After sticking these letters on I called it finished.....

I used the following stamps:

Shine bright jigsaw...


Hello everyone, 

Another sample for Visible Image, made with a stamp set from the new release.. 



A while ago I bought some of these blank jig saws and I thought it would be fun to use one with this new "shine bright" stamp set. First I stamped the light bulb and the sentiment. (Not quite straight.....) I then used three colours of India Ink (Pink, Orange and yellow) and a watercolour brush to colour the background and the light bulb. I applied two layers. I then stamped some script to add some interest and splattered some white ink around. Lastly I used a black and white gel pen to add some doodling here and there..

Wanderlust week 3

Hello everyone,

As you may know I am doing Wanderlust this year. Is it an art journaling course with lots of my favourite people teaching. France Papillon, Kate Krane, Birgit Koopsen and Andy Skinner are some of the names that will be sharing their tips. Great idea and I was really looking forward to it. Now it has started I am not having a great time. I don't know why. I am suffering with lack of mojo as well at the moment so that might have something to do with it...

Anyway this week Kasia was talking about composition and breaking the rules of composition. I was quite astonished as this is a course supposed to be for all levels but a beginner might be left quite confused after this lesson. I think it is better to learn to do it the right way first before you start breaking the rules. Also, when she showed her examples of 'breaking the rules' I thought that most of them didn't work but that is my opinion and of course you can do what you like. I just think art journal spreads mostly work best if the rules are followed to some extend and I also think that most people have a natural feeling of balance if you like, which makes them follow the rules without thinking too much about it.

So, after this I decided to do a half page in my journal, just to use some of the materials Kasia used, like scraps of paper, liquid watercolours (I used India Inks)  and white and clear gesso.
