Art journal page - What seems ordinary...

Hi and welcome back. Today I have a new 8 x 9 inches (cca 20x22 cm) art journal page.

I played with a lovely Autumn splendor die from Honey Bee Stamps, bright colours of Dylusions sprays, gold spray and an older witch die from Tim Holtz. This autumn background die is so beatiful itself ant the colours so bright that it was very difficult to pair it with anyting else. But I did and I think I like the outcome :0) For the witch I used silver glitter paper and covered it with black alcohol ink and later with black PITT artist brush pen, so the black is darker but stil shiny.

This page is also my post for Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge "Not a card".

Thank you for your visit and see you next time :0)

Art journal page - Magical night

Hi and welcome :0) Today it is a 6.5"x 6.5"  (ca. 16,5 x 16,5 cm) art journal page with the Halloween vibes.

I used stamps from Colorado Craft Company, Tim Holtz and Art Impressions and colored my background with a Dylusions Balmy night spray and my pictures with Karin Brush Marker PRO. I also used a lot of white gel pen this time :0) 

Thank you for your visit, have a nice day and see you next time :0)

Art journal page - HOME sweet HOME

Hi and welcome back :0) Today it is a nontraditional 6.5"x 8.5"  (ca. 16,5 x 21,5 cm) and art journal page. 

I used and transformed my older turquoise left-over background. I added plaid background stamp from Tim Holtz, a lovely girl stamp from Penny Black, some greenery die from Hero Arts and a beatiful house front stamp from Graphic 45. I also used AALL & Create washi tape and I stamped plaid background stamp over the black cardstock with Versamark ink, so the subtle pattern matches my page. I colored my images with Dylusions Vibrant turquoise spray, Karin Brush Marker PRO and OHUHU alcohol brush markers (skin) and I was happy how easy it was :0) 

I love this page and maybe you can also feel those quiet vibes as I do :0) 

Thank you for your visit, have a nice late summer day and see you next time :0)

Have a lovely day and see you next time :0)

Stay calm tag series

Hi and welcome again :0) 

Have a small baby in a house is often very challenging. Stay calm is a kind of mantra I would like to repeat and feel every day :D

Lion tag

Hi and welcome :0) This is a small 6 inches (cca 15.5 cm  x 8 cm) tag I made for fun. This format is quite small for me, but I wanted to try :0)

Birthday card 2020

 Hi and welcome again :0) This is a birthday card created for my mum this year :0)

 

Art journal page - Find and express yourself

Hi and welcome again :0) This is my traditional 6.5"x 6.5"  (ca. 16,5 x 16,5 cm) art journal page of 25. 5. 2021. 

I found some older background I made with acryclic paints and stencils. I was curious whether I can transform the paT artist brush pens and Dylusions sprays filled in brushes.

ge into something. Usually I have big troubles with it, because when I create my projects I make my bacground and focal points together so they match my vision :0) 

I used Darkroom door long butterfies and fern stamp with Dylusions calypso teal creative dyary ink and and some AALL &  Create text washi tape. I found these adorable pandas in my stash and I think that they are just perfect. A light bulb, an old typewriter and a magnifying glass complete the idea of this page. I coloured my images with PITT artist brush pens and Dylusions sprays in water brushes. 

Thank you for your visit and see you next time :0)

Art journal page - I saw my soul in the mirror

Hi and welcome :0) This is my 6.5"x 6.5"  (ca. 16,5 x 16,5 cm) art journal page for SimonSaysStamps Monday challenge "Four Legged Friends".

I was inspired by the words of one song I heard recently and this is an idea that came to my mind - do you  also feel this way sometimes? :0) 

I used Peacock feathers and Salvaged patina Distress inks and Salvaged patina Distress oxide for my bacground together with Honey Bee leaves stencil. My brown colours are a combination of Wild honey, Tea dye and Black soot Distress inks and Mustard seed and Fossillized amber for my yellows. I found these funny stamps from Katzelkraft and very nice old frame die from Spellbinders. Curtain is a stamp from LaBlanche.  

Thank you for your visit and see you next time :0)

Art journal page - It's all perspective

Hi and welcome back :0). Today it is again one page for my a 6.5"x 6.5" (ca. 16,5 x 16,5 cm) art journal.

I played with the blue shades of Distress inks and a new Kitsch flamingo pink colour. I was inspired by my new nice Stampendous background stamp and I wanted to create some "tree scene" with this gorgeous bird stamp from Tim Holtz. I colored my birds with PITT artist brush pens from my stash and I was surprised how well they blended on my mixed media cardstock even if it is porosu serface. My first idea was totally different, but I'm happy with the final outcome. Sometimes it happends, that the page has it's own mind and life :D 

Thank you for your visit and see you next time :0)

Art journal page - Dream

Hallo and welcome :0). Today I have new page for my a 6.5"x 6.5" (ca. 16,5 x 16,5 cm) art journal.

Last time I played with Distress ink sprays, negative and positive print with the stencil and some white pigment ink stamping on the background. Because I made two backgrounds at once, I used the second print today. I added some white pigment ink stamping on the background and I coloured my focal pictures - I really like this poinsettia flower from Tim Holtz - with Distress crayons and Distress markers and also with my alcohol markers. Because the colours of the hair and flowers were a bit muted with the crayons (I used them as watercolours), I brightened up them with a layer of Distress glaze.  

Thank you for your visit and see you next time :0)

Art journal page - All time of the world

Hi again :0). This is another page for a 6.5"x 6.5" (ca. 16,5 x 16,5 cm) art journal.

I played with Distress ink sprays, negative and positive print with the stencil and some white pigment ink stamping on the background. Then I colored a huge poppy flower from IndigoBlu and this beautiful figure from Hero arts with Karin brush pro markers and added my quote - sometimes I wish I also had so much quiet time :0)

 

Thank you for your visit and see you next time :0)

Art journal page - Magic

Hi and welcome :0). This is my new page for a 6.5"x 6.5" (ca. 16,5 x 16,5 cm) art journal.

I found this small, but awesome filigree die which reminded me an oriental window. So I created a page inspired by it. I started with my Distress oxide ink pads in blues and greens and used a moroccan trellis stencil with Versamark ink to achieved tone on tone "wallpaper" background. From another scrap of paper with Distress oxide inks in shades of violet on it, combined with a Tim Holtz gold kraft cardstock, I created my windows and circle. This gold cardstock was also used for the border and small gold details on the page. To brighten my violet parts up, I covered them with Distress Glaze, so it looks like I used Distress inks and not Distress oxide - the Glaze taken the pigment part of the Distress oxides away and only the bright dye part left. 

My characters are from Hero Arts older stamp sets. I'm very happy how this page turned out :0)

 

Thank you for your visit and see you next time :0)

19.2.2021 Sometimes all you need is a little MAGIC

2020 Christmas cards

There was not much fun in 2020, so I wanted to create something simple but cheerful for this holiday. I used Katzelkraft and Tim Holtz stamps and Distress oxide inks with Tim Holtz Plaid stencil and also various embossing folders with winter theme for my Christmas trees. 

I especially love how easily I was able to blend the colours even on the very ordinary paper :0) For each card I've chosen two colours - I covered whole card with basic layer of the colours - lighter on the top and darker at the bottom, blended together. Than I used the darker colour again through the stencil. 

So here they are...enjoy them with me and have a great, joyful and peaceful year 2021 :0)

2020 Christmas cards

Art journal page - I am dreaming of a rainbow holiday

 Hi and welcome back :0). Here is a new art journal page - 6.5"x 6.5" (ca. 16,5 x 16,5 cm).

I want to start my creative flow again, so I decided to just pick up randomly something of my stash and create a page and do not think much about it. I started with an embossing folder with a knitting pattern and then I found some nice tags stamp with a traveling theme. And this is an outcome - rainbow holiday dream for one penguin. He lives in a quite white world so why not. And I also remember one song I've heard recently...."I'm dreaming of a white Christmas..." :0) 

I simply used some Distress inks and Black soot archival ink and this cute penguin from Katzelkraft.

 

Thank you for your visit , happy new year and see you next time :0)
