Seeker of all things authentic

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my blogpost for Country View Challenges where today sees another challenge start. It is my turn to host and I have chosen the theme of 'blues and greens' because they are on of my favourite colour combinations. You can use them anyway you like as long as blue and green are the main colours. You are free to use black, white, flesh colour and an accent in any other colour ! Come and play along; there is a £20 voucher to be won !

Here's mine:

and here's how:

First I stamped my focal image and coloured it with my Copics. I used a little grey to shade my white flowers and ochre yellow for the hearts of the flowers. 

Next I made my background starting with a layer of gesso. The warped page will get straight again ! I thought to use my Distress Crayons again as I haven't in ages. 

Or course I had to tone it down:

First I used a Tim Holtz stencil and white acrylic paint.. 

Next I used a brayer and some more white paint to tone it down even more. 

Next I embossed a stamp with white powder. All stamps I used today are by PaperArtsy. I'll list them at the bottom of this post. 

Next some stamping and splattering and I added some doodle lines around the page. By this time I declared my background done and all I had to do was add my focal image and the sentiment. 

I have used the following PaperArtsy stamps:

EEA03 - Everything Art 

ESC18 - Scrapcosy

Thank you so much for stopping by ! I am counting on you participating ! 

Hug me and a new VIDEO !

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my second inspiration post for my challenge over at Country View Challenges.
You might remember the theme : Blues and Greens. I chose this because with pink/orange this must be my favourite colour combination. I have made an art journal page and have filmed the process.

I did add the black numbers after switching the camera off as I thought it needed something else. 

Anyway, I hope you will play along with us and enter the challenge. You could win a £20 voucher to spend in the shop HERE. Just make sure you read the RULES first ! 

Here is the link to the video:

Enjoy ! Thank you for stopping by today ! 

It wasn't me

Hello everyone,

It is August 1st and that means a new Challenge over at Country View Challenges.. and this month it is me who set the theme ! Yay ! I chose blues and greens as this is one of my favourite colour combinations. I hope you will play along with us. You might just win a GBP 20,- voucher to spend in the shop ! Just make sure to read the rules HERE.

I made a postcard:

And here's how I made it :

I stamped this fabulous little character on Neenah white smooth card stock with black Memento Ink. 

Next I coloured him with my favourite colouring medium : Copic Markers. 

This is the background I chose.. the blue at the top is a little more turquoise in real life but I find blues and greens difficult to photograph.. It is a gelli print. I always have stacks in stock because it makes my life a lot easier.. 

I have cut him out and you can probably see that you loose a lot of the fine details like eyelashes and hairs. To get around this I simply stamp the image again directly on my card. 

I used Archival Ink because my background is acrylic paint. 

I didn't stamp his feet because there is grass either side which I didn't want. I did manage to stamp him slightly crooked ! lol 

And here is the finished card. The little monster and the sentiment are both rubber-stamps by PaperArtsy designed by Elena Guzinksa. They are sold under the name Zinski Art and I think they are fabulous ! 

Thank you for stopping by today !
