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 ! 

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 Journal page for a Stampotique Challenge at De Craftorij

Deze art-journal pagina heb ik gemaakt voor de 2-wekelijkste Stampotique uitdaging bij de Craftorij. Het onderwerp was "hoofddeksel". Frida Kahlo heeft een hoofddeksel met de spidergrass stempel gekregen en het haar heb ik bedekt met kleine bloemetjes. De pagina afgewerkt met wat grote cirkel stempels en een chevron punch.

For the "headgear" Stampotique challenge I used a gelli-plate background and the big Stampotique Frida stamp. I gave Frida a headgear with the stampotique Spidergrass stamp and doodled the white little flowers in her hair. Finished the page with a big round stamp and some punched chevrons. :)

Frida Kahlo in my own Round Robin Journal

As a start for this Round Robin I had to make the first spread in my own album myself. As I love Frida Kahlo I had to use this Stampothique Frida stamp of course. The background I made with a couple of colors acryllic paint and then I added stamps, doodles, washi tape and Tim Holtz tissue paper.
