Opposites - Matte and Glossy - ATCs for Country View Challenges

Hello and welcome to my second post today!
The May Challenge at Country View Challenges has a very interesting and not so easy theme. My lovely team mate Teresa hosted it this month and she wants to see `opposites´.

I decided to choose "glossy and matte" and made two couples of ATCs.

Because it is difficult to see the glossy part on the photos, I made a short video to show you:

And this is what I did:
First I sprinkled PaperArtsy Infusions onto the ATCs, on the one couple Magenta and on the other ones Olive Tree. I activated them with water and dried them with my heat tool.
Next I stamped Dina Wakley´s Silhouetted Women with Embossing ink and heat embossed them with Clear Embossing Powder.
Then I only did some background stamping in the colors of the background, surrounded the silhouetts with white and black Posca pen, did some doodling and added snippets of washi tape here and there.
At last I glued down the words and matted the ATCs on slightly bigger black cardstock - and voilà, the ATCs are ready!

I hope you liked my little cards and feel inspired to join in with our challenge this month!
As usual you have the chance to win a 20£ voucher to spend in the shop.

Spring! - Art Journal Page for Country View Challenges

Hello all, 

nice to have you here today! I want to share with you my second project for the April challenge Easter and/or Spring over at Country View Challenges!

This time I made an art journal page with handpainted flowers, using watercolors.

Maybe the little girl is waiting for the Easter bunny to come?

This is what I did:

I prepared my page with white Gesso and sketched the tulip, the daffodil and the grape hyacinths slightly onto my page. I painted them with watercolors, and when they were dry I colored the background  with very watery blue watercolors. Then I shaded the flowers with a charcoal pencil, added some highlights and doodling with posca pens in brown and white and surrounded my page with black charcoal. I was missing a little something, so I stamped some butterflies and colored them with watercolors.

Now I only had to stamp some background stamps onto my page for more interest and glue down the little girl, a paper doll from Tim Holtz. I really love these paper dolls, they always give your work something special!

Here are some close ups:

That little girl looks so cute, doesn´t she?!

Now it´s your turn to make something Easter or Spring related and share with us at Country View Challenges! You have plenty of time left! And remember - you have the chance to win a 20 £ voucher for the shop! So I hope you will hippedi-hop in 😋.

Thank you for your visit today and happy Easter!

It´s Spring! - Card for Country View Challenges

Hello all, a warm welcome!

 It´s the first of April and - no joke - there is a new challenge at Country View Challenges!

This month the theme, chosen by my lovely teamy Monika, Spring and/or Easter!

I made a card with a lovely snowdrop fairy

I matted my card with some old cardstock from FabScrabs, I had in my stash, and colored in with Distress Oxide Broken China.

This little fairy is an old stamp from LaBlanche. I stamped her on specialty stamping paper with brown Archival Ink and colored her with my Polychromos from Faber-Castell. Then I fuzzy cut her and glued her down with 3D-Foam Pads for some dimension. I draped some blue thread behind her for some contrast and added some small flowers. To the middle of the flowers I glued glittery metal drops.

I stamped a Birthday wish with blue Archival Ink, cut it out and toned down the background with the same Distress Oxide I used on the card.

Now I only had to sprinkle some black and white splatters and white rings, made with a cup from a spray bottle, for more interest and my card was ready!

That´s it for today!

I hope you will make something springlike or something for Easter and share it with us in our challenge!

Thank you for your visit today!
