Black and White 2

Hello and welcome to my second inspiration project for the challenge over at Country View Challenges!

As you may know, the theme this month is Black & White or Black & White with one other colorl.

For my first piece I made a wall hanger, for this I made a video, where you can watch how I made it.

My second piece is a card. It´s made pretty much like the first one, I only changed the stencils and stamps and added a few embellishing.

I used the stamp set Theories from Tim Holtz - I really love the images from this set and the sentiments as well!

To get a really black image, I stamped the ballon man 3 times. I used the stamp platform for it. I couldn´t resist to make the little heart red and I like this tiny hint of color on this card!

I embellished the card with black and white threat and a single white flower.The sentiment I embossed with black Embossing Powder and matted it with some dried babywipe.

I also used the sentiment stamp on the background and also parts of the ballon man stamp.

Finally I matted the card with black cardstock and glued it to the card. To repeat the pattern at the inside, I stamped the graffitti parts of the ballon man stamp with white ink on a stripe of black cardstock and glued it to the right edge of the card.

Now I hope you like my card and feel inspired to join the challenge at Country View Challenges!

There is Always a Glimmer of Light

Hello dear visitors!

It´s the first of the month, it´s February - and that means: time for a new challenge over at Country View Challenges! 

This month my lovely team mate Sue has chosen the theme, Black and White or Black and White with one another. I really love this theme and I made a wall hanging with a quote for someone very special to me.

I made a process video, where you can watch me creating it, so sit back and enjoy watching!

Here are some close ups:

As Time goes bye - More ways to create rust - DT work for CVC

Hello dear visitors!

Here I come with my second project for our RUST challenge at Country View Challenges!

This time I made a little canvas with many rusty awesomeness =).

As I promised on my last post, I´ll show you some more ways to create rust. If you hop over to the CVC April first blogpost, you will find many different ways shown by my lovely teammates, so don´t miss!

I played around to find some more possibilities, which are not shared yet - well, not easy ;-). But I found some - please grab a cup, it is a long post ;-)

1. DecoArt Texture glass + DecoArt fluid acrylics

I took Texture glass and mixed it with some fluid acrylics in burnt sienna (sorry, no step x step here).

I dried it with my heating tool until it bubbled a little bit. Then I rubbed on top some other colors (yellow, cobalt teal hue, naphtol red light and carbon black) until I was satisfied.

2. Distress oxides and Distress Inks

Here I played a bit with my new Distress Oxides in peeled paint, broken china, walnut stain and spiced marmalade. I added some Distress Inks in rusty hinge and black soot. I layered several times, scratched in the paper and crumpled the paper. Well, I think it is not the very best rusty look, but may be as background for cards usable.

3. Acrylic paints and Decosand

For the next test I took some Acrylic paints in fitting colors and sprinkled into the wet paint some Decosand from the Discounter - this one even smells like coconut  =).

I made some step x step photos - they are speeking for themselves.

I love, how it turned out! So try it out. You can use salt or sand as well I think.

4. Tattered Angels Naturally Aged Paint System - Bronze Patina

This one I used on my canvas. Some time ago I made a video how to use the paint system. Enjoy watching!

This is my canvas:

5. DecoArt fluid acrylics, Tinting Base + Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam + Inka Gold

I painted my gears with DecoArt fluid acrylics and after drying I added some Gimmer Glam (BonBon) and dried it with my heating tool until it bubbled. Lastly I randomly rubbed some Inka Gold on top.

Now I put all pieces together, added some "Bling" and a photo, some flowers and gears - and ready!

And here finally is the finished project!

Wow, this is really a looooooong post! All who came right here - thank you for reading!

I hope, I could inspire you and you´ll find time to join in our challenge! You can win a 20 £ gift voucher for the shop!

This is my take on the challenge.

This is a gift for a collegue, who is going to Curative stay. The title means curative diary.
I used one of the scrap packs, Glimmer Mists Red Chillies and Tattered Leather and Glimmer Glam Yellow.

Now I have some step x step photos for you:

This is how the notebook looked before.

I used a scrap pack, filled with many goodies to use!

I cut one of the included papers in size and covered the book. 

Here you can see how I treated the edges.

Time for some stenciling. I used Texture Glass and left it to dry.

Glimmer Mist Red Chillies and....

Tattered Leather

more stenciling, this time with modeling paste

and some Glimmer Glam Yellow.

The next step was not my very best idea. I thought, I should seal the surface with some varnish, but unfortunately the colours smeard a little bit. It looked better before. Next time I know..... ;-)

now I embellished the front....

and glued all down with matte medium (sorry, some steps I didn´t photograph)

That´s it! I think, my collegue likes it!
