Schachtel mit Rosen - Altered Box with Roses

Hallo und willkommen zusammen!
heute mal wieder etwas anderes als eine Karte für euch. 
Kürzlich hat Blanche Siegmann wieder etwas Schönes gezeigt und ich musste diese Silikonform unbedingt haben.
Ich hatte seit längerem eine Klappschachtel liegen, die nur darauf gewartet hat. verziert zu werden.

Hello and welcome to my blog!
today I want to share with you something different than a card.
Recently Blanche Siegmann showed some wonderful projects, and I urgently wanted to get this silicon mold of the rose leaves.
There was a pretty box in my stash, waiting to be altered. Here it is.


Die Blätter sind mit Hilfe der Silikonform aus Modelliermasse hergestellt, die Rosenblüten und -knospen habe ich frei geformt. Alle Teile wurden arrangiert und aufgeklebt. Nach dem Trocknen habe ich alles mit Antiquing Paint bemalt und zum Schluss mit Wachspaste in Gold die Strukturen hervorgehoben und poliert.

The leaves I made with the silicon mould and modeling clay, the roses and rosebuds are formed freely. I arranged all parts on top and glued them. After they were dry, I used Antiquing paints and highlighted the strukture with waxpaste. At last I polished the gilded parts - and that´s it!

Ich wurde gefragt, wie ich die Rosen gemacht habe. Ich dachte, am einfachsten ist es, euch das in einem Video zu zeigen ;-). Hier ist es also! Viel Spaß beim Anschauen und vielleicht auch Nacharbeiten!


 I was asked, how I made the roses. I thought to show it in a video, might be the easiest way ;-). So here it is - the English version.


Hier ein paar Nahaufnahmen der fertigen Rosen und Knospen:
Here are some close ups of the roses and rosebuds:




Ich hoffe, es hat euch gefallen und vielleicht ein wenig inspiriert.
Vielen Dank für euren Besuch!
So I hope you liked it and may be you are a little bit inspired.

Anything but cute - Art Journal Page for Country View Challenges

Hello dear visitors, welcome to my blog!
My first project for the February Challenge over at Country View Challenges is a Art Journal page in my "Face - Book".
This month the theme is 'Anything but cute' and it was set by Christine.


 This time I don´t have pictures of the process, because I made this page while staying in hospital over Christmas last year.
I wanted to do something creative in this time, so I did some practising in drawing eyes and hands, some pages of my "Let´s face it 2017" course. If you are interested in, you can find it here.





 But back to the challenge:
For my Art Journal page for the challenge I used Gelatos to create my background. I randomly scribbled different colors on my pages and blended them with a wet paintbrush.
Then I used a charcoal pencil to draw the face - well, it is drawn askew a little bit, but I don´t mind.
Then I took a black posca pen here and there and wrote the words and 2018. For the eyes I used white posca pen and white charcoal for the accents.

Well, that´s it! I hope you like my girl!

Now grab your goodies and make something NOT cute for the challenge, you know, you can win a 20 £ voucher for the shop!

Thank you for your visit and don´t miss the gorgeous makes of my talented teamies!
