Born to be wild - by Arwen

 Hi Lovelies 💜❤

It's my turn again, to share my DT project.

This time, I created an Art Journal page and I wanna show you my single steps.

But first - the finished page: 

Some close-ups:

And these are the single steps:

1.) I choose my paper, cut it into the right size and choose my rubber images.

2.) I created a mask, because I wanna use colorspray.

After this, I stamp my main image onto my page.

3.) I used two kinds of colorspray and stamped my background with another rubber image. For this, I used pink instead of black.

4.) Now, I can color my image and add some Glimmer sprinkles.

5.) For my page, I need some more pieces of the Ticket stamp. After coloring with Distress Reinker and cutting out, they're ready to work with.

6.) At last, I used a stencil and texture paste to finish my background.

Adding the text and voilá - a new Art Journal page.

I hope, you like it 😻

Why fit in..

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the blog where today I am sharing a journal page.

and here is how I made it:

I got the new Distress Oxide Speckled Egg this week and had to try it out.. So I made this page with it and really liked it. I just smooshed the ink pad on my non stick craft sheet and spritzed with water, I then dunked the paper in, drying it between dunking. 

I used Speckled Egg, Ground Espresso and Antique Linen. 

Next I added some modelling paste through a stencil. 

I then used another stencil as a stamp and printed it here and there on the page. I used the Ground Espresso ink again. You smear it over the stencil, spritz with water and print on your page. 

Next I stamped the page here and there. You'll find a list of stamps used at the bottom of this post.

She is sooo cute, sitting in her box... lol, I stamped her and coloured her. When I was done I cut her out.

20082 - Why fit in

19659 - Numbers set

20243 - Grunge female symbol

Easy Easter Mail Art

Hello Again!

I'm back with more cute

Easter Mail Art!

Stamps Used:

Cross with Lilies

Group of rabbits

Ok, so this time I totally forgot to take some action shots. 

Start by stamping your group of bunnies, then mask them off.  Next, stamp your cross with lilies. 

You can see here I have done that then began to color my cross and flowers. 

(you can remove the mask to color, but i chose not to for some reason)

Now remove the bunny mask so that you can color them too! 

(I chose browns , because i think of "chocolate bunnies")

So, after everything was colored I re-masked my bunnies then added a layer of yellow ink over the background.  When I was satisfied with that, I used layering stencils with pink and yellow to add more details. 

Whimsical Lady Tag ► Majo

Good morning, my dear crafty friends.

Today I'd like to show you a tag with one of my favorite stamps .... no, not the butterfly wings (I know I use them almost always) but with the Whimsical Lady, I just love her!

 Let's get started without any further ado ...

I started with a tag, a stencil and *Broken China* Distress Ink.

 I added Distress Spray Paint in three different colours. Make sure you let each layer dry in between, otherwise you will not get the "spotty" effect!

 I stamped the flower and also a sentiment with
*Broken China* Distress Ink for more interest on the background.

To highlight the petals just a tad, I lightly used bleach with a tiny brush.

  

The pretty lady and the wings were fuzzy cut, coloured and added to the tag with pop dots.

I stamped the sentiment, which I think fit her attitude perfect, and adhered it with pop dots.

A chiffon bow finished my Whimsical Lady Tag. 

These are the stamps I used:

 19828

19832

 19777

3745

 

I hope you enjoyed my little tutorial, see you next time.

Banksy Rolodex cards with Majo

Hello everyone,

today is my turn for another tutorial for you.

I haven't made any Rolodex cards in years. I once made a whole wheel as a present for a friend, now I thought it was time again to start a new one.

I bought some ready made cards, but they were so thin, I had to glue two together. I didn't like that, so I cut my own and use a corner rounder and the Heidi Swapp punch. It's an American Crafts Metall memorydex 2-Bay Loch punch.

I started by creating a master board with Distress Oxides, stencils and stamps:

I cut the cards (2 ¼ x 4"), rounded the corners and punched the holes for the wheel.

I stamped Banksy images and sentiments on my cards.

I wanted to get extra attention to the text, so I stamped it again on cardstock and adhered it to the cards.

All I had to do now was distress all edges and get the cards "wheeling".

These are all the stamps I used:

19940

19493

19488

19426

10599

20165

19563

20066

8654

20213

19866

Thanks so much for stopping by today, have a good Wednesday and Happy Crafting ♥
