Time To Fly

Hello friends, I hope you are all healthy and doing well in this crazy times!

Today I want to show you my second project for the March challenge at Country View challenges with the theme `The Eyes Have It´.

I made a square page (one more in a row).

When I was looking around at Pinterest, I stumbled over some pictures with faces, drawn on newspaper. I liked them very much and decided to give it a trial.

I started with a white square page and covered it with an old Bazzill Basics Paper called Antique Newsprint. I glued it down with Matte Medium.

Then I sketched the face with a black water soluble pencil, went over it with black ecoline ink, using a pen nip. then I took a brush with water and made the ink run a little bit. The iris of the eye I colored with some turquoise blue ink and watered it also. Some highlights I put there with a white posca pen.

After this I tore a napkin, took the top layer and glued it on the surface. 

The words are from a PaperArtsy stencil, I brushed Versafine Clair warm breeze through the stencil and surrounded the words with a black fineliner.

 Now I only had to color the edges with some ink and glue it on top of a black cardstock.

I am really happy with this page!

Here are some close ups: 

 That´s it for today. I hope, you will find some time to play with our challenge, you can win a 20 £ voucher to spend in the shop!

The Eyes Have It!

Hello my friends,

it´s the first of March - new challenge over at Country View Challenges!

This time the theme is "eyes".

I made a card with the super cool PaperArtsy Seth Apter stamp EM39.

I took a kraft cardstock and prepared it with clear Gesso. Then I used 3D Matte Gel and a Tim Holtz stencil to create some texture.

When dry, I sprayed and sprinkled with Lindy´s Stamp Gang sprays (Moon Shadow Mist Gossamer Gold, Starburst Time Travel Teal and Frozen Jack Frost, Flat Fabio Merci Beaucoup Mint) and dried everything with my heat tool. 

I stamped the eye 4 times with black, grey and brown Archival Ink, cut it to size, adhered it onto cardboard and grunged them up with the sprays. The same I did with a piece of a fragrance box, which I peeled off and grunged the corrugated surface.

Now I played a little bit with the new matte waxes from finnabair. I scrubbed the white and some blue and green over the rised areas to enhance the pattern.

I altered some chipboard cogs, first with black Gesso, then with the rust pastes from finnabair. The finishing touch built a touch of gold wax.

Time to put everything together!

 I glued all pieces on top of a card and added some flowers to make it perfect.

Here are some close ups:

That´s it for today! I hope you like the theme this month and feel inspired to join in with our challenge!
