Butterfly Girl #2 for Rubber Dance

Hello all,

here is a little sneak peek from my latest DT project for Rubber Dance.

Have a wonderful weekend!

And So The Adventure Begins

Hello all, a warm welcome today!

It´s the first of February - time for a new challenge at Country View Challenges. This month the lovely Teresa is the host and she wants to see Splatters, Splashes and Drips.

I made a card with a rainbow of drips.

I cut a piece of watercolor paper to size and grabbed some of my Ecoline fluid watercolors. I used: Light yellow, Light orange, Vermillion, Carmine, Light green, Deep green, Turquoise blue, Ultramarine deep. I applied a generous amount of each color to the top of the paper, lifted the paper and let the colors run down to make them build drips. Then I gently sprayed some water on top to make the ink run down even more.

Then I took my new butterfly stamp from PaperArtsy and stamped it 3 times with Versafine Claire nocturne using my stamping platform and heat embossed it with black embossing powder.

I set some highlights with white posca pen and doodled around the page with a black PITT artist pen.

Then I stamped the sentiment with black ink and matted the page on black cardstock. Then I adhered it to my card.

I hope you liked my card and feel inspired to join in with our challenge this month!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you for your visit 💙

Do What You Love

Hello everyone!

Today it´s time for my second project for Country View Challenges . This month´s theme was chosen by the lovely Monika and it is "Love".

I made this art journal page, that tells - do what you really love! 

I started by glueing down some pieces of old book pages and some vintage ephemera I received as a giveaway (thank you again, dear Monika =)).

When everything was dry, I started to sketch the face. I did two courses to learn how to draw/paint faces (Let´s Face It 2017 and 2018, find more about here). The courses are very informative and clear, I really enjoyed ..... but I still have to catch up with the classes.
Well, one of the artists, who teached in 2018, was Toni Burt and I was inspired by her amazing work. So I tried to create something in that mood.

I printed out some of that lovely roses I found on The Graphics Fairy, fuzzy cut them and glued them down. Then I slightly colored the face and the page with watercolors.

I stamped the sentiment, one from a PaperArtsy stamp set, with grey Ink. I didn´t want it to be too prominent, so I like how it turned out.

Under the face of my little lady I stamped this tinytiny stamp from Visible Image, it says: Be your own kind of beautiful. It is so, so tiny, that you have to know, that it is there ;-).

That´s it for today, I hope you feel inspired to participate in our challenge this month, you know, you have the chance to win a 20 £ voucher for the shop!

Thank you for you visit!
Have a wonderful week!

Square Page for Rubber Dance

Hello all, welcome to 2020 and Happy New Year again!

I made a 15 x 15 square page - don´t know, if I will make a new art journal with it or may be I´ll create a calender with? We´ll see.

Happy New Year my friends!

Today a new decade has started - unbelievable!

For our new challenge at Country View Challenges the lovely Monika has chosen the theme "Love".

I made a card for my daughter, inspired by the work of the gorgeous Veerle Moreels. 

I used a piece of watercolor paper, applied some watered down green and brown acrylicpaint on a piece of acetate, spritzed the watercolor paper with water and pressed the acetate on top of it. This gives a really subtile and unique spreat of color. I really love this!

When everything was dry, I stamped one ring from the stampset from PaperArtsy Eclectica3, designed by Seth Apter ESA12 with watering can Archival ink and toned it down with white Gesso. I also highlighted the inside of the ring with white Gesso.

Now I applied trasparent crackle paste from Stamperia in a pretty thick layer to my surface and left it to dry over night to let the magic happen - oh, and look! It crackled so nicely!

I brushed carbon black Antiquing Cream into the cracks and took away the excess with a dump cloth. Then I used Inka Gold Greenyellow to make it fit better with the background.

The tiny heart I made with clay. I colored it with Ecoline Liquid watercolor Carmine and added some glossy glaze on top. Then I glued it into the ring.

I randomly stamped a scriptstamp from another Seth Apter PaperArtsy stamp from the ESA10 stamp set with Distress Oxide peeled paint, sprinkled some of the same Ecoline Liquid watercolor in carmine as I used for the tiny heart and shaded the crackled area and the edges with grey charcoal.

Last I stamped the sentiment from the Rubber Dance stamp set "You Rock" on tissue paper and glued it down with matte medium.

I put the card together - and ready!

Here are some close ups:

That´s it for today! I hope you like my card and feel inspired to make something love-ly for our challenge too!
