January Projects for C´est Magnifique Kits

Hello all, today I want to show you my projects I did with the January kits fron C´est Magnifique. The papers are so very gorgeous and also all the Add Ons this time are loaded with  adorable goodies again. For my projects I used the Main Kit, Embellishment Add On, Flower Add On and the Mixed Media Kit.
For my first layout I used only a stencil and modeling paste for the background, built a some layers of paper to mat my photo. 
The leaves are real ivy leaves, I edged with snow paste of my stash and some gesso. The pretty little blossoms and blossom stam are from the Flower Add On, the metal piece is one of the mechanicals from the Mixed Media Kit.
For my second layout I used only the Main Kit and took one of the pictures from the Mood Board. The lace fits so perfect! 
I fuzzy cut one of the papers to add some interest to my layout and accentuated some parts with a black pencil. Into the middle of the flowers I set the pearl breads, they look so elegant.



For my next layout I used another photo from the mood board and used the milk paste from the Mixed Media Kit, some stamping, the chipboard of Blue Fern Studios, which I embossed and the beautiful flowers from the kits complete my layout.
For my next layout I used the picture from one of the papers from the  Main Kit. For the background I took the paints from the  Mixed Media Kit and did some stamping. The lace and the pretty doily just like the flowers are perfect for the vintage look.
 And here are my Mixed Media cards from the Mixed Media Techniques and Tutorials Challenge. There is still some time to play!
 I hope you enjoyed my projects and feel a little bit inspired! All the kits you can find HERE.
Happy crafting!

Wanderlust Book 2016 - January, the first pages

Hallo zusammen, schön euch hier zu haben! 

Heute möchte ich euch meine ersten Seiten in meinem Wanderlust Book 2016 zeigen.
Wie ihr vielleicht gesehen habt, hat im Januar der Online Kurs "Wanderlust 2016" angefangen - und ich bin dabei! Die ersten Videokurse sind schon gelaufen und waren sehr informativ und inspirierend.
Wir sollten ein Wort benutzen, das beschreibt, wie man sich momentan fühlt. Ich habe "promising" gewählt, was soviel bedeutet wie: hoffnungsvoll, vielversprechend, erwartungsfroh - kurzum ein positiver Blick in die Zukunft.

Hi all, nice to have you here!
Today I want to share with you my first pages of my Wanderlust Book 2016. May be you´ve seen, that started at January 1st, a one year long event of art classes and exploration, "Wanderlust 2016" This is the project I created after watching the first two videos, which were very informative and inspiring. If you don't know about Wanderlust, do check it out here.
We were supposed to choose "One word that describes me today." My word is "promising".
 
I went after the color palette of Lindy´s Stamp Gang January 2016 Color Challenge and used the following colors:
Ich habe mich an der Farbpalette von Lindy´s Stamp Gang January 2016 Color Challenge orientiert.
Folgende Farben habe ich verwendet:

Hier meine Seiten:
Here are my pages:

Noch kurz, wie ich der Reihe nach vorgegangen bin:
- weißes Gesso
- Papierstreifen und -stückchen aufkleben
- Texture Crackle Paste durch eine Schablone von 13@rts, trocknen lassen
- Einfärben mit Farbsprays, Magicals (Pigmentpulver), Gesso, ein Hauch von Inka Gold 
- stempeln mit 2 verschiedenen Stempeln
- Akzente setzen mit wasservermalbarem Farbstift und weißem Marker und lila Fineliner
- Bild unterlegen (4 Schichten) und aufkleben, Schmetterlinge aufkleben bzw. -rubbeln
- handschriftlich das Wort "promising" mit Schreibfeder und schwarzer Tinte und am Rand 
  mit lila Fineliner schreiben

A quick step by step:
- white Gesso
- glue down paper stripes and shapes
- Texture Crackle Paste through a stencil of 13@rts, let dry
- colouring with mists and Magicals, Gesso and a hint of Inka Gold
- stamping with 2 different stamps
- setting accents with watercolour pencil, white pen and purple fineliner
- layering the picture (4 layers) and glue down, embellishing with butterflies (fuzzy cut and 
  rub on)
- handwriting the word "promising" with a pennib, ink and a purple finliner around the edges

Hier ein paar Details:
