Altered Drawer for Country View Challenges

Hello dear friends and visitors!

Today I want to share my second project for the "Pimp it up!" challenge, on which I am the hostess of this month at Country View Challenges.

If you want to know more about the challenge, please hop over to the blog.

Recently in my school the cellar was decluttered to get more space and I saved this little drawer from landing in the trash (I had to hold back not to jump into the trashcan to search for more treasures *lol*).

Hallo ihr Lieben!

Heute möchte ich euch mein zweites Projekt für die von mir gestellte Challenge "Pimp it up!" bei Country View Challenges zeigen.

Wenn ihr mehr dazu erfahren möchtet, hüpft doch einfach mal rüber auf den Blog.

I you want to see, how this came together, please feel free to hop to my YouTube channel to watch the process video. I´d be happy if you give me a like and subscribe =)!

Wenn ihr sehen wollt, wie´s gemacht wurde, würde ich mich freuen, wenn ihr auf meinem YouTube Kanal vorbeischaut. Dort findet ihr ein Video dazu. Über ein Daumen hoch und wenn ihr meinen Kanal vielleicht sogar abonniert wäre ich super erfreut =) 

 I think, I will use it for my finished cards and ATCs or for leftover papers.

Ich denke, ich werde das Schublädchen für meine fertigen Karten und ATCs benutzen, oder vielleicht für Papierreste.

Here are some views and close ups:

Hier noch ein paar Ansichten und Nahaufnahmen:

Now I hope you feel a little bit inspired to "Pimp up" something too. You can reuse, alter, upcyle or recycle something, what ever you desire. I hope to see many intersting projects from you!

So, ich hoffe, ich konnte euch dazu inspirieren auf etwas "Aufzupimpen". Ihr könnt etwas wiederverwenden, verzieren, aufhübschen, was immer ihr mögt. Ich freue mich auf eure Projekte!

Thank you for your visit today and have a wonderwul week.

Vielen Dank für euren Besuch und habt eine schöne Woche.

I want to join in the following challenges:

Multilayered Card - DT project for Country View Challenges

Hello all, I hope you have a nice week so far. Thank you for being here today!

I want to show you my second project for the November challenge "stencils" over at Country View Challenges today.

This time I made a quite different card and I hope you like it.

Today I don´t have much step x step photos, I seemed to have neglected to take any more 'step' shots, but I´ll try to explain how this all came together.

I took different acrylic paints and brayered them onto the card. Next I used various stamps and stamped them randomly on top (you can see the butterfly from a Tim Holtz stamp set). The next step was to use stencils. I dabbed acrylic paint with a sponge through some stencils, using different colors and left it to dry.

I love the stencil and mask from Donna Downey , but I don´t have one, it´s not easy to get them here in Germany. So I decided to make some by my own.

I drew two silhouettes on cardboard and cut them out. My masks are ready! I placed them on top of my background and sponged black acrylic paint around the masks.

I surrounded the silhouettes with white posca pen and some bright Gelatos. At last I added the word stickers and that´s it.

I hope you liked my card and feel inspired to join in with our challenge. There is time enough to make something beautiful and, as you know, you have the chance to win a 20£ voucher for the shop!

So thank you for dropping in here!

Travelling Art Journal, #5 - DT Project for Canvas Corp Brands

Hello dear friends,

I missed last month to post my June entry in the Travelling Art Journal for Canvas Corp Brands!

So I don´t want to withhold it and I share it right before the July pages with you.

If you missed my first pages or want to get more information how the journey works, you can find it 

here, here and here

Hallo zusammen,

mir ist aufgefallen, dass ich ganz versäumt habe meine Juni Seiten im Travelling Art Journal für Canvas Corp Brands mit euch zu teilen!

Ich möchte sie euch natürlich nicht vorenthalten, deshalb zeige ich sie euch jetzt, bevor ich euch meinen Juli Eintrag präsentiere.

Wenn ihr die vorherigen Seiten verpasst haben solltet, könnt ihr hier, hier und hier nachlesen.

Here is what I did:

So habe ich sie gemacht:

First I put one stripe of masking tape to the middle of the two pages to protect the other pages of the journal. Then I gathered my colors and a stencil I wanted to use. 

Zuerst habe ich die Seitenmitte mit Maskingtape abgeklebt um die anderen Seiten zu schützen. Danach habe ich Farben und Schablone bereitgelegt.

 The stamp with the sentiment (PaperArtsy)

Und einen Spruch Stempel (PaperArtsy)

 Then I dribbled the paints onto my pages and spreat it with a makeup sponge.

Im Anschluss Farben auftropfen und mit einem Makeup Schwämmchen verteilen.

 Now a lot of stamping.

Jetzt jede Menge Stempeln.

 After this I used the stencil and painted some parts with golden paint.

Nun Farbe mit der Schablone auftragen, einige Teile sind mit Gold ausgemalt.

 Now lots and lots of doodling with black, white, silver and gold.

Jetzt gaaaanz viel doodling mit schwarz, weiß, silber und gold.

 I sketched the butterfly and painted the outside black. to create some highlights I surrounded him with light blue Gelatos. Now I added some butterflies and the stamped sentiment.

Den Schmetterling skizzieren, außen herum mit schwarzer Farbe übermalen und um ihn etwas mehr hervor zu heben mit hellblauem Gelato umrahmen. Nun nur noch ein paar gestanzte Schmetterlinge und den gestempelten Spruch aufkleben - fertig.

Here are some close ups:

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Colorful Travel Journal

Hello all, welcome to my blog!

Here is my second project for the challenge "Travel" over at Country View Challenges this month.

Last month I showed you my art journal pages, prepared with leftover paints from another project. I promised, to show you the project, where I used the paints. 

As you may know, I am an adventurer at Wanderlust 2016. One of the very first classes was the one from Kate Crane and I utterly enjoyed her work and wanted to try it out, but as you all may know, some things need a little time.

In July a dear friend of mine celebrated her birthday and I knew, that she wanted to go to Danmark for some weeks. So this was a very good reason to make this travel journal as her birthday gift!

I made this little journal after the class of Kate Crane, so I can´t tell you too much about the making of and the techniques, but I´ll show you the close up photos from all the pages - front and back. So grab a cup of coffee, there are a couple of pictures ;-)

The front and the back are made from a canvas covred greyboard, steciled with modeling paste and painted. The butterflies are highlighted with some pink Inka Gold.

The first pages:

much painting, stamping making marks and doodling

The next pages:

The same techniques, but here are some other patterns.

 At the right page there is a little pocket. I inserted some stamped tags, where one can write some important things, glue tickets, ..... whatever

The third pages:

 The back pages:

Here are some blank pages in the middle for some writing. I used my sewing machine. 

That´s my little Travel Journal! I hope you liked it, I had so much fun making it and it definitely won´t be my last one.

Thank you so much for dropping in here today and may be you find time to participate in our Travel Challenge this month!

 I will join in following challenges:
