Hello !

This month I want to share a video where I try out the popular Teabag Art. And I can confirm to say that it is fun and can be addictive. I did it on green tea bags and the good smell from the used bags is an extra bonus while creating.

Here is the link to the process video, enjoy

August already, time flies! In this post I’ll show you my second set of cards I made out of the same sheet of painted watercolour paper, see my previous post for the technique, very simple, less clean because I manage to spread paint all over, even únder my apron…arggg..

 

 

The pinky background was spoiled with this big flower, the‘awesome’tekst and some ripped washitape.

 

 

On the second card also only two stamps, those nice feathers and the same text..thats it! Hope you get inspired!

Crew Member Wednesday With Karin

Hello! Welcome to Crew Member Wednesday. Karin is here today using my newest "For The Love Of Layers" stencil and she created a beautiful layered art journal spread with it! 

******

I recently added an incredibly cool stencil from Birgit to my stash and had to use it on this Art Journal spread.

First I made a colorful background with some paint and on top of that I used the stencil with black water-resistant ink.

Then I applied some color accents with a white pen and some acrylic markers.

Because stamping on a busy background is rather difficult, I stamped the tulips on a white paper. I colored the parts I wanted to use with ecoline markers. And cut them out and applied the tulips to the background.

Finally I added a text to it. It is in Dutch and it means something like "When you let go of control, the most beautiful things happen".

Crew Member Wednesday With Karen

Hi there! It's Crew Member Wednesday again and today we have Karen who is sharing a simple but fun way to create lovely journaling cards. I love how these turned out, clean and simple but beautiful!

 

******

Hi everyone! It’s time for another Crew Member Wednesday and I’m making these great little journaling cards which are perfect to add into your art journal, planner, diary… whatever you’d like really! I’m using a super easy masking technique as well to make a really lovely layered look.

 

I’m using the “Life is pretty awesome” stamp set and I picked out the middle sized flower and I cut down some card stock to 3” x 4” and I stamped the flower onto a post it note so that I would have a “mask” that I can easily reposition. My post it note had lines on it as it was the first ones I had to hand, you can use any one for this or even some paper if you don’t have a post it note.

 

 

I cut around the edges of the post it mask and set it to one side. I then took my staz on ink pad in black and stamped the image off the edge of my journaling card. I wanted to create a border like effect around the edges of my cards.

 

 

Once I had one image stamped I added my mask over the top and stamped again. This means that you can create the effect of the flowers being “layered” one behind the other.

 

 

I kept going right along the edge of the card and created some others, varying the direction and the pattern that I created.

 

 

I went in with my micron marker to add in some lines for my journaling to go on to. You can totally use a ruler for this part if you would like but I really liked the free hand, slightly squiggly lines that I drew for my cards.

 

 

I then went in with some of my watercolor crayons to add in some colors to the journaling cards that I had made. I kept it simple with a few light washes and layers. I left one blank so if I wanted to add in a different color to match a page I could!

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and it inspires you to either make some cards of your own or give the masking technique a try!
