My artjournal, work in progress.

 Hi there,

Today a artjournal page.

Really more a little  stampbook for myself.

I had a stamp sheet with african animals.

Bought years ago. 

Finally used them.

Artjournal pagina.

Deze artjournal pagina heb ik gemaakt met stempels van

IndigoBlu

Studio Light en Crealies.   

De tekst is gestempeld met alphabet stempels van

CraftEmotions.

.

Indigoblu autumn owl.

De kleuren zijn een beetje op de herfst afgestemd.

Ik heb eerst met distressinkt een vlek op de achtergrond gemaakt.

Daarna met distress frayed burlap de uil van indigoblu gestempeld.

Met een stamping platform, de randen van de uil met een donkerbruine stift aan stippen.

Ik heb daarvoor de Tombow chocolate gebruikt.

De tak heb ik getekent en ingekleurd met tombow stift.

Met distress inkt verdund met water de vlekken gemaakt.

Met een witte gelpen wat afgewerkt en de kaart gemat.

The colors are a bit in tune with autumn.

First I made a stain in the background with distress ink. Then stamped with distress frayed burlap the indigoblu owl. With a stamping platform, edges the owl with a dark brown marker. I used the Tombow chocolate for that. I drew and colored the branch with a tombow marker. Made the stains with distress ink diluted with water. Finished with a white gel pen and matted the card.

Challenge 102 Off the edge

 

Today I will show you  a card with the beautiful florish stamp from Lost Coast Designs.

I really like this stamp, it has open parts in the flowers and leaves. This gives you the opportunity to color the florish. Love that, dont you?

So I sponged the background with distressink squeezed lemonade, peacock feathers and picked rasberry. I dropt some water on it so you get some stains.

I took a die and cut two branches and sponge them with the 3 colors.

Stamped the florish with memento black.

I used posca pens to color the florish, yellow, pink and 2 greens.

And with a white and black posca I dotted the florish.

I had fun making this card en hope you do to.

Dont forget to join the challenge, you have a change to win some rubber.

So come on over and join.

Lost Coast designs challenge #101 Background forward.

I really had to think about this card, making the background the star isn't that easy.

I am not used to that.

But I just like to work with my distress micro glaze, so of we go.

Stamps: LCD Birdsin trees, CV Moon child.

Distress glaze, distressink spun sugar, victorian velvet, gathered twigs.

Take a little spung and aply the glaze on to the stamp and stamp it on a piece of paper that is 5cm or 2 inch longer than the stamp.

Start sponging the bottem with spun sugar, work your way up with victorian velvet. And at the top gathered twigs. Its so magical to see the birds and trees show up, just love it.

I tore the bottom of the card and distresst it with gathered twigs and stampt the moon child stamp. Matt the card with a off white cardstock, and from the same cardstock I die cut the birds. Easy and swift.

So hurry up and join us in this exciting challenge.

The new challenge over at Lost Coast Designs, #100 Celebrate.

Celebrate, red white and blue clowns.

Hi everyone, here a post from Riet for the Celebrate challenge.

Oh how I love these clowns, they are such great stamps.

And as specially with the celebrate theme for this challenge.

I used:

Lost Coast Designs Long nose clown and Pope clown.

Distressink, chipped saphire and barn door.

Acylic paints, red, white and dark blue.

Color pencils or markers, what ever will do it for you.

Dutch Doobadoo mask, stars.

I starded with the distressink colors chipped sapphire and barn door.

I wiped the ink over a craftsheet and sprayed some water on it.

I tryed to make one half red and one half blue.

Used a Dutch Doobadoo mask stars and some red and blue acrylic paint.

Red on the blue side and blue on the red side. Let it dry well.

Once its dry you slide the mask a few milimeters and go over the red and blue with a white paint (bump technic).

Let it dry well.

Now we stamp the pope clowns with stazon black on a piece of paper, and color them in and cut them out.

Pencils ore markers, what ever you like.

With a little star punch I made 3 stars en glittered them in red, white and blue.

With a little banner die, I cut a piece of left over paper and wrote “celebrate”.

Gleud the stars on a piece of whire. Now you can matt the background and glue all the pieces on.

So, I had a lot of fun making this celebration card, hope you do to.

Winged girl for the Myth and Magic challenge

Hello, LCD fans.

Today I want to show you my last contribution for this month.

It is for the Myth and Magic challenge.

Well I think this winged girl is very magical.

And here is a description of how I made her.

Watercolor paper 14cm x 20 cm,

Stazon timber brown, Distress ink, antique linen, seedless preserves, spiced marmalade, peacock feathers, broken china. Prima marketing vintage pastels watercolor paint. Distress glaze. Black cardstock.

A mask or stencil.

Nuvo aqua shimmer.

I started stamping the winged girl with stazon timber brown. Then with a finger with distress glaze around the stamp, only the outside edge. Then colored the winged girl with the watercolor paint. When it was completely dry I applied the entire stamp with a layer of distress glaze. I sponged the border around the stamp with Distress ink antique linen. Then placed the mask or stencil on the paper and go over it with a sponge with distress glaze.Then you take the 4 distress ink colors and rub some of them on your craft sheet. Spray a little bit of water on it and put your paper on it. You don't have to worry about your image, the distress glaze works as a resist. Let it dry well and matte with black cardboard.

Give the wings, dress and hairband a little bit off aqua shimmer. Have fun and join our challenge at

My first post as designer for Lost Coast Designs.

I made a small gift box on a Score-pal. The box is 8x8cm en 2cm high.The name of the stamp is Praying angel. I just love this stamp, look at the expression on her face.

I first put a sheet of paper through some puddles of distress ink, Shabby shutters, Scattered straw and Pine needless. Once the sheet is dry,you can cut and creased the paper. Then you lay it flat and stamp the angel with Jet black stazon.

Then I colored in some accents with pencils with de same colors, no matter which brand.

And than the last thing is some accents with a white gell pen. I really love my white gell pen.

Tip: when you glue the box, start with the bottem. Then you can be sure that the lid closes properly.

Come on over and join the challenge, its fun and you can win some lovely stamps.

viva las vegastamps challenge

Voor de challenge van Vivalasvegastamps heb ik deze tag gemaakt.

For the Vivalasvegastamps challenge, I made this tag.

This is the inspiration board.

Acryl blok techniek.

Achtergronden maken met een acryl stempel blok, geeft hele leuke resultaten.

Doordat de inkt een beetje door elkaar gaat lopen krijg je steeds weer andere kleuren.

Altijd een verrassing.

De griekse stempel, ik heb geen idee welk merk.

Heb ik ooit eens bij een tweedehands hobby doosje gekocht.

Maar de tekst is van de "Stempelwinkel".

De inkt is distress inkt, door de kaart op zwart te matten, komen de kleuren beter uit.
