Looking through..

 Hello everyone,

For today's AALL & Create GDT post I have made a round journal page. As soon as I saw this magnifying glass stamp I knew I had to cut out the 'lens' and replace it with acetate. And that is what I did. The rest of it sort of evolved when I was doing it..

So here is how I made it :

I started with stamping the magnifying glass onto a piece of watercolour paper and cutting out the lens part.

I thought is needed something on the other side so I stamped part of a flower from this set. Later I also added the little text stamp above and below the flower. 

I planned to use three eyes in my 'looking' glass but later decided to only use one and add something else from this set. 

 Next, colouring. I used a mix of Inktense pencils and watercolours. 

Because I had made a booboo (stain from the watercolours)  on the right which I couldn't get rid off, I added some modelling paste through this stencil. That hid it ! 

Next I glued some acetate behind the hole and coloured the eye and lightbulb. I planned to back it with paper but then decided to add another layer of acetate and place eye and bulbs between the two layers. I did stamp the complete stamps onto the acetate with StaZon ink before gluing the coloured images over the top. Last thing was adding this sentiment which is part of another stamp.

And that was that ! Done !

#319 - Magnify it by Bipasha Bk

An art journal page for AALL & Create

Hello everyone,

For this weeks Guest Design team post I have made an art journal page. You might have already seen this on Hochanda but today I am sharing it here; there is also a video if you'd like to see how this came together.

I love how this turned out and it was a joy to make. 

Here's how : (Link to video below the photos)

First I stamped the bicycle on acetate and cut it out, I used StaZon for this. 

I added acrylic paint to the page and then stamped both stamps partially on it. 

I also stamped some of the images or parts of them separately to colour, cut out and layer on my page. 

I used this stencil to print with Distress Oxides. 

Here is the finished project again.

A postcard swap..

Hello everyone,

Over at the VivaLasVegaStamps! groupies FB page there is a 'fall, harvest, Halloween' type postcard swap. I decided to play.
The idea is to make 4 postcards, the same or different, use VLVS! Stamps, of course and adhere to the theme. I decided to go for a Halloween theme..

I used a brayer and Distress Inks to colour the card. Stamped the background and the cemetery and the skull. I put the skull in the bell jar by stamping it on acetate, cutting it out and adhering it onto the one I stamped on the card. 

Here they all are. I hope that the recipients like them; they are on their way to DeeDee where one will stay in the store and three will be sent on to other participants in this swap ! 

Thanks you for stopping by today !
