Hello and Happy Easter to all of you!

Today I want to share with you my second post for the April challenge "Things with Wings" at Country View Challenges.

This time I made a art journal page.

 I had much fun to create the page, using a picture of a magzine from the Supermarket 😉😊.

The page is quite easy to make:

First I gessoed the paper to prepare it, then I used some magical sifters from Lindy´s (Octopus Eyes Aqua, Sea Turtle Teal and Jellyfish Sting Pink). I spritzed water onto the page and sprinkled the magicals on top. Some more water helped to spread the colour. After drying the ink, I took a homemade collage tissue and teared it in pieces, which I glued down randomly using matte medium. You really have to be careful and only tap with a brush on the tissue, it is very fragile!

I ripped out the little Lady from a magazine, gave her some transparent wings (Tim Holtz) and glued her to the page.

Now I did some stamping with some of my favourite stamps from LaBlanche with Versafine fine detail ink in onyx black, took then a black fineliner and doodled arround the edges of my colour. I also glued down one more transparent wing on one of the branches.

I wrote the word "Explore" with a white gelly Roll pen, made a lot of white tiny dots, set some highlight here and there - and that´s it!

Now I hope, the Easter Bunny brought you some yummy eggs and may be, you´ll find time to make something with wings for our challenge!

Thank you for your visit today and again Happy Easter!

Change is Beautiful!

 Hello and welcome to April!

As always on the first of a month, there is a new challenge over at Country View Challenges, this time the theme is "Things with Wings", hosted by the lovely Rachel.

I made a card with a beautiful butterfly.

I cut a piece of white watercolour paper to size and smeared 4 different colours acrylic paint with my fingers on it´s top. When paint was still wet, I used a stencil from finnabair and a dump baby wipe to wipe off some paint to create texture. For even more texture, I took another stencil from finnabair and black paint and stenciled some words here and there.

When dry, I used white acrylic paint to push down the colour at the part, I wanted to stamp the butterfly. I dried it again and then I stamped the butterfly with versafine Fine detail ink. I stamped it 3 times for a crisp image. I also stamped the sentiment on a leftover piece of paper.  After this I made some dots with a big white Posca pen and some smaller black ones to break the pattern. I glued the panel to the card.

Next I coloured the butterfly with my Polycromos. I used the colours from the background, just a little more intens. Then I glued down the sentiment with foam tape and last I made some 3D dots with a glitter perl pen.

Here are some more pictures:

That´s it for today!

Now it´s your turn to make something with "Things with Wings", I am curious, what you will make!

Have a wonderful April and see you at Easter sunday with my second make.

Thank you for your visit today.
