Hopes and Desires

 Hello everybody, 

this is my second project for the March Challenge over at Country View Challenges "Silhouettes", hosted by the lovely Rachel.

 This time I made an art journal page, having the endless pandemic in mind.


I used a 300gsm watercolor paper as my base and rolled some acrylic paints all over the page with my brayer. Next I used Amsterdam acrylic paint in neon colors: reflex rose, reflex yello and reflex orange. I used a palette knife to spread it randomly over the page.
Now I used 2 different stencils from Tim Holtz, you will find a wide range of Tim´s stencils in the shop. I used a sponge and blue and black paint.
For the silhouettes I used an old Andy Skinner stencil and stenciled the children with black paint directly on the page. It was not easy to get a crisp image, because the watercolor paper is very textured.
The balloon is from the same stencil and I drew it with a pencil and filled the gap with glue. Then I sprinkled pink glitter into the glue.
Now only some washi tape to ground the kids and the sentiment. It´s from the sentiment sticker book from finnabair.
Last I glued the black and neon pink edged paper to black cardstock.

Here some close ups:



I hope you like my page and feel inspired to join in with our challenge! You know, you can win a 20 £ voucher for the shop!



Thank you for your visit today and have a good time!

Silhouette Card

 Hello lovelies!

It´s the first of March and it´s time for a new challenge at Country View Challenges. This month the theme is Silhouettes.

We already had some really warm and sunny days and Spring is nearly here. So I wanted to make a spring card.


I made a simple background by spreading Distress Oxide Ink speckled eggs, peeled paint and mermaid lagoon over my specialty stamping paper. I activeted it with some water.
Now I took some silhouette stamps from my stash (LaBlanche) and used my beloved Versafine Clair Inks, nocturne and warm breeze to build a scene. You can find the Ink pads in the shop.
To finish the card I inked the edges and glued the picture onto a card. 

Now it´s your turn to make something with silhouettes!
Thank you for your visit today!
