Smile

Hello and welcome to my second post for the Summer Fields challenge over at Country View Challenges!

This time I made a card with one of the cute Scribbly Small Birdies from Dina Wakley sitting in a summer field.


I first created the background with the wrinkle free distress technique from Tim Holtz.


While it dried, I stamped the little bird on white copy paper to create a mask. Then I pulled out my stamping platform and stamped the bird on my card. I stamped it several times to get a crisp, black image.


Next I painted in the body of the bird with white acrylic paint, to get a neutral background for my coloring. Then I stamped the bird on top again.













For the summer field I used 3 stampsets: Artemio (don´t find the name), Joy!crafts 6410/0017 and one stamp from the Creative Expressions Portraits Rubber Stamp Set. I stamped them in the same green tones I used for the background. The little bird I covered with the mask. I also added a butterfly, a tiny bee and an ant.
















The word "Smile" I stamped and heat embossed. The stampset is from 49 and Market and is called Gabi´s Word Stamp Set.


Now I used my Faber Castell Pastel Pencils to color in my little sparrow, the butterfly and a flower stem. 


Now I added a little wood flower and some scribbly lines. I inked the edges with DI peeled paint, matted it on black cardstock and adhered it on my card.


I like how it turned out and I hope you do so too!

In my first post I told you of my poppies I am awaiting to bloom - now they do! This year there are only two blossoms - but look! They are so gorgeous, aren´t they!


Now on to you! I hope you join in with our challenge, I look forward to seeing your creations!

Thank you for your visit and have a good week!

Beautiful Poppy Flowers!




 Hello and welcome to June!

As always there is a new challenge over at Country View Challenges and  the theme is "Summer Fields".I made a art journal double page with poppies in my own colors.

Summer is coming soon now and you can seewonderful flowers everywhere. One of my favourite flowers are poppies. They are so aery, light and bright with wonderful vibrant colors. The smaller ones are blooming in the fields now, the bigger ones are not blooming yet, but I look every day in my garden, when they start blooming.


I used the beautiful flower stamp from StudioLight, the Signature Collection art by Marlene, and stamped the poppy flowers onto my pages and added the stems and leaves. I colored everything with my Derwent Inktense pencils and activated them with water. When I was done with it, I added some shading and highlights with a white posca pen and a stabilo all pencil.



The background is simply painted with watery blue watercolor and when dry I took some stencils from Shawn Petite, using Distress Ink mermaid lagoon and black Archival Ink and added some texture to the background.
Now I only had to put on some words from the Tim Holtz Big Chat and that´s it!




I hope you liked my poppies and feel inspire to make your own summer fields for our challenge! You can win a 20 £ voucher for the shop!
