Project Life- Documented Life June 2015

Hello there! :) 

Another quick post to show you some pages of the month June in my granddaughter's album:

Here's how I start, combining cards I made myself with purchased cards & paper.

During the process I will keep moving the cards around untill I really like the way it looks

This is how it looks when I am finished. Well actually I think it's never finshed so I need to stop myself at a certain point otherwise I will keep going on :)

(The last 2 pictures look a bit pale, sorry for this)

Lifebook 2015 week 15 with Tamara Laporte

Lifebook 2015 time again!!

Hi all! :)

Week 15 of Lifebook: It's the little things with Tamara Laporte
I am a little bit behind with lifebook but here's another lesson I did and....... it was way out of my comfort zone ;)

This is the end result, not completely happy with it but I had fun creating it.

Some detail pictures

 And some work in progress pictures when I was thinking to myself.........

"this is so NOT going to be okay" LOL, But in the end I am happy with it, I had fun and I tried something new again :)

 

New Round Gelli plate

Last week I got myself the new round gelli plates at De Craftorij shop. I bought the 4 & 6 inch and I started playing with them. I must say I LOVE them!!!

I already had the bigger round 8 Inch one so I started off with that one and made some big circles first. I think you can see it best at the first picture below.

After making circles with the 8"Gelliplate I started working with the 6" plate and  after that the 4" one.

I used some funny color combinations, the ones I probably wouldn't use together normally but I must say I like the overall result.

The page I made is about 9 x12 inch. Not sure what I am going to do with it but it will probably become a background for an Art Journal page or something like that.

Colorful Butterfly

There's a new Challenge blog for Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda. Please join the new blog for monthly challenges, you will have twice the inspiration and double the fun!

As an example for the first challenge I made this card with 2 new stamps by Lost Coast designs. I used the lovely Butterfly face as a focal point and for the  background I stamped and embossed the Grunge Window Wall stamp.

The bright colours you see are made with Distress Stains and I embossed the background stamp with purple embossing powder.(which is unfortunately a bit hard to see on the pictures).

 
I finished with some white acryllic paint spatters.

Thanks again for watching :)

Stampotique Challenge SDC 194 - Stencils

For Corrie's challenge this week, "using stencils", I created this card using a stencil underneath the hearts I stamped with France Papillon's small Heart stamp

I also added France's text stamp on a seperate label with a tiny attacher. 

The card has a "future" date as it is also meant as an example for a summer challenge we are having soon.

Lifebook Week 16 - Quick Be Here Now Painting with Alena Hennessy

For this week's lesson we had to make a quick painting in about 15 minutes.
No "thinking to much" just let it go.

I must admit, it's quite difficult to not think to much. I didn't make it in 15 minutes but it took me about 25 minutes to finish it. (I needed to dry it a few times in between)

So here it is, my QUICK painting!

No time for step-by-step puictures because of the time pressure LOL ;)
So this is all for today!

Hope to see you back again on my blog.

Lifebook 2015 week 13 with Juliette Crane

My week 13 with Juliette Crane - My first Owl ever,so not perfect at all but I loved making her.

Here I show you a few step by step images of "The Process' lol.  I really had to go "throught the ugly" as I was almost throwing my owl away a couple of times.

The first step, creating a background with the technique Juliette showed us.

I toned it down a bit by adding a thin layer of transparent white paint ( It was too bright for me at this point)

Here comes the "Ugly" LOL  I really didn't like it but I kept on going........ 

to end up with this, my first Owl ever ;)

Thanks for watching!

50 Shades of GREEN Lost Coast Blog Hop Giveaway

My creation for the "50 Shades of Green" Blog Hop by Lost Coast Designs, Inspired by the artwork of Seth Apter

Create a background with different shades of Green

Add some "texture"with the Flagstone Background stamp

Another layer with the use of some stencils and a mask

The big face on the left is a handmade mask combined with one of the stamps from the Phrenology Heads Set

To finish this art journal page I stamped the quote (using versamark green permanent ink) on some old music paper and then cut the letters before applying them it onto the background. 

Please join us at the blog hop :
