Beep beep

Hello everyone,

Today, over at the Stampotique Designers' Challenge, it is the second week of the challenge with the theme  'For the boys'. I made a postcard :

I had this background in my stash, I think it was made with Lindy's Ink Spray.  I added some stamping to the background and then added the washi tape. 

I stamped the cars on separate white card stock. I coloured them with Copic Markers, cut them out and adhered them onto the card, cutting one in half for more interest. I stuck the halves on either side and fitted the rest in between.

We would love you to play along with us. You could win one of the two $30 vouchers at the end of the month; make sure to read the rules first though...

I used the following stamps:

Thinking of you

Hello everyone,

Welcome to my blog where today I have a second inspiration piece for  Country View Challenges. The theme is 'Flower Power' for this month so I have made a flowery card:

Here's how I made it:

I used a piece of a gelli print that I made recently with PaperArtsy Paints and a mask. 

I used a Tim Holtz Stampset and coloured the flower heads I was using with Copic Markers. 

I also stamped the flowers and stems onto the card panel. I coloured the stems with Faber Castell Big Brush Markers in two shades of green..

Next I cut out the flower heads I coloured and glued them onto the flowers on the card panel. 

And here it is finished. I added some stamping and splattering onto the panel before glueing the flowers on. I also added a sentiment and a piece of torn washi tape. The panel was then glued onto a white card. 

We hope you will play along with us this month ! Just read the rules first; you'll find them HERE. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today !

Strong women with a new VIDEO !

Hello everyone,

I am ashamed to see that I haven't made a YouTube video for a while ! So yesterday afternoon I had a little time to spare and filmed making a quick art journal page. I haven't added many words to it but if you have any questions about it, please let me know and I will answer them as well as I can.

I also still am not on top of the 'shaking' camera problems... if anyone knows why this is happening, please let me know. The camera is fixed and stable.

Anyway here is the page I made :

And here is the video:

Boys will be boys

Hello everyone,

Today, over at the Stampotique Designers' Challenge, there is a new challenge. The theme is 'For the boys'. Well for this occasion I had to get my favourite men out !!
I made a trio of ATC's :

The backgrounds were made with Acrylic paints, a gelli plate and some Distress Oxide Inks. I then added some stamping with the same blue Oxide and Archival Jet black ink. 

I stamped the 'men' on the cards and on some separate card stock. I coloured them, cut them out and adhered them onto the cards, cutting off the excess. 

I used the following stamps:

Heart Throb

Caution

Hello everyone,

It is my turn to show you some inspiration with UmWow Studio Chipboard today ! I have made a 6"x6" art journal page on a piece of 7 Dots Studio paper from the Writer's block collection. I tried to make it a little fun !

First I painted the glasses.....

Next I used holographic (glittery) embossing powder and heat embossed the glasses...

It is nice and sparkly ! 

I used a vintage photo from Tim Holtz' lost relatives I think it is called. I cut her out... 

I added red paint around the edges and used a big lid to stamp circles around the head. I added some rubber stamping (VivaLasVegaStamps!) and put the whole thing together using some bits and pieces that were lying around. 

A close up....

and here she is again ! 

I used the Photo Booth Props today: 

You find them HERE.

Free soul

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my blogpost for Visible Image where today I am showcasing one of the sentiment stamps... Visible Image have great word stamps and this is one of my favourites... I have paired the words with some Tim Holtz paper dolls, a piece of pattern paper with text on it and some PaperArtsy Fresco Paints.

I started with a piece of pattern paper which has all these advertisements printed on it. I glued it onto some white card stock as it was quite thin. I then used a brayer and some acrylic paints from PaperArtsy to knock the text back a little. Next I chose the people I wanted to use and decided where to stamp and place them.  I then stamped the sentiments. This is one stamp; I just used masking tape to selectively stamp the words. Next I placed the people and glued them down and added some 'ground' under them so they were not floating. Lastly I splattered some black paint on the page. 

I used this stamp set :
