As Time goes bye - More ways to create rust - DT work for CVC

Hello dear visitors!

Here I come with my second project for our RUST challenge at Country View Challenges!

This time I made a little canvas with many rusty awesomeness =).

As I promised on my last post, I´ll show you some more ways to create rust. If you hop over to the CVC April first blogpost, you will find many different ways shown by my lovely teammates, so don´t miss!

I played around to find some more possibilities, which are not shared yet - well, not easy ;-). But I found some - please grab a cup, it is a long post ;-)

1. DecoArt Texture glass + DecoArt fluid acrylics

I took Texture glass and mixed it with some fluid acrylics in burnt sienna (sorry, no step x step here).

I dried it with my heating tool until it bubbled a little bit. Then I rubbed on top some other colors (yellow, cobalt teal hue, naphtol red light and carbon black) until I was satisfied.

2. Distress oxides and Distress Inks

Here I played a bit with my new Distress Oxides in peeled paint, broken china, walnut stain and spiced marmalade. I added some Distress Inks in rusty hinge and black soot. I layered several times, scratched in the paper and crumpled the paper. Well, I think it is not the very best rusty look, but may be as background for cards usable.

3. Acrylic paints and Decosand

For the next test I took some Acrylic paints in fitting colors and sprinkled into the wet paint some Decosand from the Discounter - this one even smells like coconut  =).

I made some step x step photos - they are speeking for themselves.

I love, how it turned out! So try it out. You can use salt or sand as well I think.

4. Tattered Angels Naturally Aged Paint System - Bronze Patina

This one I used on my canvas. Some time ago I made a video how to use the paint system. Enjoy watching!

This is my canvas:

5. DecoArt fluid acrylics, Tinting Base + Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam + Inka Gold

I painted my gears with DecoArt fluid acrylics and after drying I added some Gimmer Glam (BonBon) and dried it with my heating tool until it bubbled. Lastly I randomly rubbed some Inka Gold on top.

Now I put all pieces together, added some "Bling" and a photo, some flowers and gears - and ready!

And here finally is the finished project!

Wow, this is really a looooooong post! All who came right here - thank you for reading!

Layout "Special Moment" - DT-Work for ARTastic

Hallo zusammen, schön, dass ihr bei mir hereinschaut

Heute ist schon der erste März - Zeit für eine neue Herausforderung bei ARTastic!

Diesen Monat haben wir wieder einen tollen Künstler für euch, William Rose, und das ist eins seiner Bilder: An image of November

Wenn ihr auf dem Blog vorbeischaut, könnt ihr ein wenig mehr über ihn erfahren.

Aber nun zur Herausforderung. Diesmal müsst ihr eine Schablone benutzen! Einfach, was? 

Also versucht doch mal euer Glück und macht mit!

Hello everybody and a warm welcome to my blog!

Today it is the first of March - time for a new challenge over at ARTastic!

This month we have a wonderful artist for you, William Rose, and this is one of his pictures: An image of November.

 If you want to find out more about him and his artwork, hop over to the blog.

But now let´s come to our challenge. We ask you to use a stencil! Easy, huh?

So grab your stash and join in our challenge!

Hier ist mein layout:

This is my layout. 

Die Linien im Bild des Künstlers haben mich inspiriert. Also klebte ich zuerst einige Papierstreifen auf den Hintergrund und benutzte anschließend eine Schablone von 13arts, "shapes", um mit Modelliercreme weitere Linien zu schaffen. Danach habe ich den Hintergrund bestempelt - viele Stempel ;-). Danach kam Farbe ins Spiel (Lindy´s Stamp Gang Flat Fabios und Starburst). Danach noch einmal der Einnstatz von Schablonen, zwei ganz neue von Tim Holtz (Trellis Layering Stencil and Floral Layering Stencil), einmal mit Distress Ink und die andere mit weißem Gesso. Nun war der Mittelpunkt dran. Ich finde die Arbeiten von Monika Huculack ganz toll, so habe ich versucht mich ein wenig an ihrem Stil zu orientieren. Damit das Ganze noch ein wenig Schimmer bekommt, habe ich noch Inka Gold in gold und lila, etwas Goldflitter und Goldfaden hinzugefügt. Auch einige Metallverzierungen durften nicht fehlen. Zum Schluß noch ein paar Blümchen, eine Metallplakette und den Wortstreifen aufkleben, das wars.

I wanted to create some lines, inspired by the lines from the reference picture. So first I glued a couple of paperstripes to the background and used a stencil called "shapes" from 13arts and modeling paste. Then I did some stamping - a lot of stamping ;-). Then I added color (Lindy´s Stamp Gang flat fabios and Starburst sprays) and did some more stencilling with two of the brand new Tim Holtz stencils (TRELLIS and FLORAL) with DI and white Gesso. Now I built the vocal point, As I love the work of Monika Huculack, I tried to create my layout layering a bit like she does. For some brightness I painted some Inka Gold in gold and purple, added some golden threat, some gold flitter and metal embellishments. At last I added some small flowers, a metal planque and a word stripe.

Hier noch ein paar Nahaufnahmen:
Here some close ups:

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:

Mixed Media Picture for C´est Magnifique

Hallo zusammen, schön, dass ihr da seid. Ich hoffe, ihr hattet ein wunderbares Osterfest. 

Heute zeige ich euch mein letztes Werk für den März bei C´est Magnifique Kits, ein kleines Mixed Media Bild. Ich habe eines der Kartonquadrate, Metallanhänger, einige Blumen und den netten Rahmen aus dem Kit benutzt und ein Bild daraus gemacht.

Hi all, nice to have you here! I hope you had a wonderful Easter.
Today I want to share my last project my last project for March at C´est Magnifique Kits with you. I used one of the chipboard squares, the metal tags, some flowers and the pretty frame from the kit and made a little Mixed Media project.

from my stash: self adhesive canvas, stencil and modeling paste, metal key, diecut roses, gesso, mists, inka gold, mica flakes, gel medium, black and white gesso

Damit habe ich angefangen. Den Karton habe ich mit etwas selbstklebender Leinwand überzogen, durch eine Schablone Modeling Paste aufgetragen und all die schönen Sachen aufgeklebt.

This is what I started with. I covered the chipboard with some canvas, added some texture with modeling paste through a stencil and glued all the pretty things in place.

Nun alles mit schwarzem Gesso übermalt und nachdem alles trocken war, kamen Sprühfarben, Gesso, Inka Gold und Mica Flakes für ein wenig Glitzer oben drauf.

Then I covered everything with black gesso and when dry played with mists and paints. Gesso to highlight some areas and Mica Flakes for a little bling completed my composition.

Das wars für heute. Ich hatte viel Spass mit diesem Kit!
Ich hoffe, euch gefällt mein Bild.
Vielen Dank für den Besuch!
Bleibt kreativ! 
That´s is from me. I had so much fun with this kit!

I hope you liked my project.

Thanks for visiting today!

Stay creative!
