Tag with Stars

Hello and welcome back to my blog today!

I want to share with you my second make for this month´s theme Stars at Country View Challenges. I used the new stamp set "Don´t Judge" from Visible Image.

Well, I must be really in a christmas mood, because my figure looks like an Angel *lol*

So this is what I did (I only will share the steps in photos this time):

This tag I had in my stash from a Gelli print session. I thought - it´s perfect!

I hope you like my little Angel tag!

Now I hope you will join in with our challenge this month!

Thank you for your visit today!

Have a wonderful christmas time!

Stars! Christmas Card for Country View Challenges

Hello everyone, nice to have you here today!

It´s the first of December and that means - a new challenge over at Country View Challenges!

This month I am the host of the challenge and I want to see "stars" on your projects!

This can be on christmas cards, as a background, stars in heaven, or - you think outside the box and find some celebrities?

For my first project I have chosen to make a little christmas card, this time not traditional, but modern and colorful.

It is very hard to take a good photo, because the gold on it is so very shiny, look!

This is what I did:

I used the wrinkle free technique. I put DO picked raspberry and mermaid lagoon on my crafting mat and sprayed them with water. Then I dipped my paper on it and dried it with my heating tool.

 I spread some DecoArt Extreme Sheen 24K Gold with a brayer on top...

 and stamped the stars from the Rubber Dance Grungy Stuff stamp set with the same paint on white cardstock. Make sure to clean your stamp immediately, otherwise you can ruin it!

When the paint was dry, I fuzzy cut them and glued them, after I darkened the edges, to my card.

 

I stamped and embossed the Merry Christmas and added some stars with awhite Posca pen. The edges are stamped with one of the borders from the Rubber Dance Doodle Borders #1 stamp set and distressed the edges with DI black soot. Then I glued the paper to a card.

I hope you will make something with stars for the challenge too!

Thank you for your visit today! See you in a few days with my second project!

Two Christmas Cards - Easy but Elegant for Country View Challenges

Hello everyone, nice to have you here today!

Christmas comes in sight, so I decided to make a couple of christmas cards for my second post at Country View Challenges. The challenge theme this month is Hand Stamped, which means the vocal point must be stamped, not only the background or some parts of the project.

I was inspired by the gorgeous Blanche Siegmann. You can find her christmas card samples on her blog or on YouTube.

I used the beautiful stamp set from PaperArtsy Eclectica³ by Scrapcosy ESC07. It is available in the shop.

If you want to see how I put these cards together, you can watch my process video on my YouTube channel here.

Thank you for your visit today and don´t forget to play with our challenge! You know, you can win a 20£ voucher to spend in the shop!

Have a wonderful week!

Welcome Fall - Art Journal Page with Shawn Petite stencils

Hello all,

November already and before I will jump into the christmas projects, I want to share a art journal page I did with Shawn Petite´s new Fall stencils.

 I love these stencils very much!

This is what I did:

I started with old book pages and matte medium. I glued big pieces to my whole page, dried it and gave the page a light wash with white  Gesso.

Then I stenciled the leaves with different colors, yellow, orange, red, violet, green and brown, with Archival Inks through the Fall Leaves with Masks stencil.

After this I used three different pumpkins from the Pumpkins Variety stencil and stenciled them first with white Gesso on the page. After they were dry, I painted them with acrylic paints, shaded the pumpkins and the leaves with black charcoal, 

Last but not least I stenciled the words from the Fall Words 1 stencil to the page and darkened the edges with a black crayon.

 now I hope you like my journal page!

Have a lovely weekend!
