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.

January 2015 Guest Designer Stampotique (week4)

My 4th and last project as a Stampotique Guest designer had to be one with a painted background technique. (hosted by Corrie).

I combined blue acryllic paint with distress ink to make the background and used the Romantic Text stamp by France Papillon and brown ink on top of it.

As I am a big Frida fan (I wanted to use one of her stamps this month for sure) I choose Frida Grande by Amy Wilson and embossed her with black embossing powder.
I attached Frida on top of a piece of craft cardstock and stamped the French Journal page as a bit of a background and on top of that I stamped the word Fabulous by Carol's Collection. To finish the card I added some Tim Holtz sentiments and distressed the edges.

I really enjoyed this month as a guest designer for Stampotique and I hope you did too. Thanks for looking ! 

January 2015 Guest Designer Stampotique (week3)

The 3th theme this month as a guest designer for Stampotique is "Punny/Funny Projects" hosted by Kathi.
E.E. Cummings once said: "The most wasted of all days is one without laughter." Puns and word play always make me smile. Really good puns make me laugh.

So to make you smile (I hope) I created this "depresso coffee guy" for you. 

I folded and stitched a large tag to create a pocket to insert the small tag with "Coffee" sentiment. The background I made using clear embossing powder and France's new "Romatic Text" stamp which is lovely!  The "depresso" guy is Jammin' by Daniel Torrente. The sentiment I made on the computer and distressed it after printing  it.

It was fun making this one, hope you like it too :)

January 2015 Guest Designer Stampotique (week1)

I am very pround to let you know I am a guest designer for Stampotique in the month January this year. 

The theme of the first week, hosted by Claudine,  is "New Years Resolution". Most of us always create a new Years Resolution at the beginning of the new year. So for 2015 I made something with a new years resolution in mind :)

For this tag I used The "When I grow up" Stamp (Carol's Collection), "January" from the months stamp set by Amy Wilson, "Weasel" by Daniel Torrente and France's French Journal Page"" for the background.

Stampotique November Challenge @ The Craftorij part II

These Art journal pages I made for the 2nd November Challenge at The Craftorij in Holland. I worked with the new Andy Skinner paints, ink, stencils, gesso, clear modeling paste, old paper, and of course some Stampotique stamps by France Papillon :)

Frida & Roses

For a Round Robin I created these Frida & Roses pages. The background is made with watercolour pencils and a new Stampotique stamp by France Papillon. For the roses I used a ghosting technique and Frida ( Lost Coast Designs ) is stamped on a Tag with the same coloured background and stitched into the journal.

Art Specially Event 2014

A great time at the Art Specially Event 2014 yesterday in Nijkerk. Met a lot of crazy crafty ladies and of course France Papillon who was doing a Make & Take at de Craftorij stand. I had a lot of fun and spend way to much money but it was soooo worth it! :) 

Amongst my "catches of the day" some brandnew Stampotique designs from France, a Sennelier aquacolour set (L'Aquarelle) and Twinkling H2O's. So lots of new stuff to play with! :)
