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 ! 

Round Robin @The Craftorij

For a Round Robin journal at my Favourite Art and Mixed Media Supply shop De Craftorij, I created this spread using the Lost Coast Designs Domino border with, in the front, the background stamp Large Shrubbery.
The background I made with acryllic paints and templates. The red heart I cut from a piece of scrap paper with paint on it. Hope you like it, thanks for watching:)

Round Robin Art Journal pages

SDC138 Green | What's the colour of money?

For this Art Journal page I started with a background of Dollar Bill Napkins glued with clear medium and gesso. After that I used several TCW stencils and different colours of green acryllic paint. 

The stamps I used for the background are Stampotique stamps 3063 Spidergrass, 3006 Hexagon and 6112 Tree. I cut out the Hexagon stamps and stitched them together with a piece of paper from an old French account book.

At last I stamped 7126 Single Tear twice on tissue paper and glued them next to each other (one of them reversed side up)

Purple Round Robin Art Journal spread.

Another spread in a Round Robin art journal. For this one I created the background with different colors acryllic paint, stamps and tissue paper (I love using Tissue paper :)) After that I added some stamps with purple archival ink, a swirly doodle & dots with white posca pen and the black text and arrow.
The flowers are handpainted with purple and white acryllic paint.
