Leonardo

Hello everyone,

Today I would like to show you a little canvas that I made for Katzelkraft. 

The canvas was painted with Dylusions acrylic paints. I used an old credit card to scrape it on. When this had dried I used a stencil and some model paste to add some texture in the left top corner and the right bottom corner. I took this onto the edge too as you can see in the photo below. The white model paste was coloured with lime green mica powder and water. 

I inked the edges with Archival Ink by just rubbing it along all the edges. 

The images were stamped on tissue paper. This gives the best results as stamping on canvas is very difficult. The images were clear embossed after stamping and cut out. 

I adhered them to the canvas using gel medium. 

Lastly I did some background stamping and used an old creditcard and black paint to make the black stripes. 

I used the following stamps: 

KTZ64

KTZ65

Just for you

Hello everyone,

Another Wednesday, another Challenge over at the Stampotique Designers' Challenge. It is the lovely Sam who decided on the theme of Polkadots and this is what she said :

I included polka dots in a previous challenge and everyone who took part seemed to have such fun, I thought we could revisit them :) Have fun!

I made a card this week :

The background was made with purple and blue Brusho's and gesso. Next I used two stencils and added the polkadots. The small ones are done with white ink, the blue ones with embossing ink and blue embossing powder. The next this was some background stamping, not too much as there was so much going on already. I did doodle around the card with a black pen to add a border. 

Next I stamped the little monster and coloured him with Copic Markers; I then cut him out and added the sentiment on his little sign. I used a stamp positioner for this. 

He was placed on a strip of washi tape and added some more of the same tape in the right top corner. 

I used the following stamps:

Whisker Monster

Leave my loneliness unbroken!

Hello everyone,

Today I have a card to share. I made this for the Challenge over at De Stempelwinkel where the theme is 'women'. So here goes:

This is a really simple card. I took some black card stock and adhered the pink patterned paper on the top. I did ink the edges before I glued it down. The girl was stamped on some paper that came from a package of stamps and cut out with a circle die. I drew some circles around the die cut and added some Liquid Pearls. The bow is made from a strip of fabric and just glued on. Lastly the sentiment came from a stamp set about writers. All stamps are from De Stempelwinkel. 

That was it !

One layer card

Hello everyone,

Today I have made a card to play in the IndigoBlu 'Just One Layer' Challenge. I used two of my new stamp(sets). It was so much fun colouring the girl...

This challenge was quite far out of my comfort zone as 'One Layer' is not something I practise often ! lol

Here it is:

I stamped "Lost in thought" on a card stock panel first, then masked her and used the "Limor Circles" set randomly around her with different Distress Inks. I then coloured in the girl and when I finished colouring I adhered the panel to a white card blank.

Whassup?

Hello everybody,

Hope you are all fine !

For my DT post over at VivaLasVegaStamps! today I have made an art journal:

I have made a little step by step of how I made it, so sit down, have a cuppa and enjoy !

I started with a piece of Mixed Media Paper.

Using a palet knife and some model paste and a stencil I created some texture. 

I used a Time Holtz stencil for this called Flourish. After stencilling I painted the whole thing with white gesso. This gives a slightly softer result..

Now the fun starts.... colour. I used my favourite sprays. 

After spraying, dripping and more spraying and dripping this was the result. 

Next, I put the stencil back on and wiped it with a baby wipe, so the pattern gets a little lighter.

Then, some stamping, a complete list of all stamps used will be at the bottom of this post. 

Time to stamp the main image; I used Versafine ink and black embossing powder to make the image even blacker...

I gave the same treatment to the sentiment. I still thought it needed something more so I added some white pen on the bird and some numbers which I heat embossed with white powder. I also added some washi tape and this is the end result :

I used the following stamps:

19569 - Mesh texture

19416 - Waybill/invoice background

19568 - Double coffee rings

18889 - Sitting bird

3048 - Whassup?

19459 - Grunge 8

19456 - Grunge 5

19454 - Grunge 3 

Thank you so much for stopping by today ! 

Adventure awaits..

Hello everyone,

I have been playing in my mini art journal today. I have used one of the new Carabelle stamps called Jack. He is so sweet.

I have yet again used my favourite sprays from Lindys Stamp Gang. I love this stuff. But first I gessoed the page and put some texture on it with a stencil and some model paste. I then used the sprays:

'Merry go round green'

'Tilt a wheel teal'

'Tibetan poppy teal'

I sprayed, dripped, dried and repeated until I was happy. Next I stamped the background with a variety of stamps and inks. I also used black archival ink to accentuate the letters I made with the model paste. I found the chipboard puzzle pieces in my stash and I embossed them with Lindys embossing powder in the colour 'Morning glory azure'. I adhered them to the page. I then stamped Jack; once on the page and once on white card stock. I coloured the one on the white card stock, clear embossed him and cut him out. I then glued him onto himself :) on the page. Lastly I stamped the sentiment which is from VivaLasVegaStamps! 

Thank you for stopping by ! 

Friends

Hello fellow Crafters,

Today I am sharing an art journal with you. It is my DT post for Lost Coast Designs. 

The base of this journal page is a gelli print and I randomly stamped it with stamps and a bottle cap. I also drew some lines around the page with a fineliner. Next I stamped the "Three Sisters" on white card stock and coloured them with Copic Markers. I clear embossed the image and tried to make it look like a photograph.  I then started to get some other things from my stash to use with this image. 

I used a few scraps of fabric, some pattern paper, a doily and some twine. I put it all together on the gelli print and added the 'friends' label. That was it ! 

I used the following Lost Coast Designs Stamps:

Three Sisters

Loopy Calligraphy

Love Dictionary
