Lonely tree

Here I am again as a guest designer for Chocolate Baroque. This is my second post this month. Today I share a fairytale with you. I had so much fun making this card with the masking technique.

 

I used stamps from the sheets:

Fantasy Woodland

Poppy Meadow

 

I made the base of the background with Brusho. Brusho always gives surprising effects. I first make a basic background and only then think about how to proceed.

I do not apply too much brusho on the watercolor paper. I started with Yelllow at the bottom and then Turquoise at the top. Spray with water and do this step by step. Not too much water in the beginning. Let the wet brusho dry thoroughly.

Stamp the tree with Stazon Jet Black. Mask the tree with masking tape. Use a stencil to apply 'sun rays' in the top left corner. I sponged it with Distress Ink Fossilized Amber. I made the leaves in the background using a stencil and Distress Ink Peeled Paint.

Under the tree I made soil with torn paper and sponges with Distress ink Brushed Corduroy.

I stamped the flowers with Archival Vintage Photo.

The tree has been colored with watercolor makers and for the shadows around the tree I used a charcoal pencil.

 

I hope I have inspired you. If you want to try this technique, I wish you a lot of fun.

Sunny Sunflower

This month I am guestdesigner for Chocolate Baroque and I will show you a card on 13th July, 20th July and 27th July.

I wil start with a mixed media card with a stamp of one of my favourite sheets ‘Sunny Sunflower’. 

 

I used stamps from the sheets:

Sunny Sunflowers

Harlequin Fragments

Briar Rose Butterfly

 

Apply gesso with a spatula through a stencil onto white watercolor paper. Let it dry well or use a heat tool. Spray the paper lightly with water and then spray with Distress Spray Stains. I used the colors Rustic Wilderness, Broken China, Mustard Seed and Carved Pumpkin. Dry the paper completely.

Emboss the Harlequin Stamp with Embossing Glaze Salvaged Patina on the left side of the paper. Stamp the butterflies with waterproof black ink and the twigs along the edges with Archival Vintage Photo. Sponge the paper here and there with Distress Ink Rustic Wilderness, Broken China and Brushed Corduroy.

Emboss the sunflower with WOW Silver Pearl on a separate piece of watercolor paper and color with watercolor markers. Cut out the flower and stick it on the card.

Halloween

De herfst is mijn favoriete jaargetijde! Ik hou er van om het huis in deze periode op te leuken met pompoenen, veel pompoenen. Als het even kan liggen ze er tot de kerstspullen van zolder komen.

Halloweenkaarten horen ook bij deze periode. Dit jaar heb ik gewerkt met de nieuwe stempelset Pompoenen van Katzelkraft. Wat een prachtige set is dat; meteen één van mijn favorieten.

Overigens heeft deze set me, na een lange tijd, weer teruggebracht naar de 'stempeltafel'; de inspiratie is er weer. Binnenkort dus meer te verwachten.

 

 

If you can dream it...

Today I will show you my 3th card I made as guest designer for Chocolate Baroque this month.

This time I made a card with different Distress inks.

I used the stamps from these sheets: 

Sunny Sunflowers

Harlequin Fragments

Words of Inspiration

Start sponging fresco finish through a stencil. I used the colors Candy Floss and Turquoise. Dry the fresco finish with a heat tool. I work on sturdy watercolor paper.

Spray Distress Spray Stain Kitsch Flamingo and Speckled Egg on the paper. Use water to make the ink flow. Let it dry for a while and then dry well with the heat tool. Drop water on the paper, let it soak for a while and dry with a tissue.

Stamp the harlequin three times with Distress Oxide Spekled Egg. If necessary, use a stamping platform to stamp it straight.

Splash with silver acrylic paint on your background paper. Let it dry completely. Using a stamping platform, stamp the text with Stazon Jet Black. Sponge the edges of the paper with Distress Oxide Speckled Egg.

Stamp the flower with Distress Oxide Speckled Egg on watercolor paper and emboss with Distress Glaze Speckled Egg. Color the flower with watercolor markers. Add some accents here and there with a Gelly Roll Stardust Glitter pen.

I hope to have inspired you again now. And if you want to try out the technique for this card, I wish you good luck and have fun.

Floral Notes

Ook deze kaart maakte ik voor Chocolate Baroque.

Ik gebruikte stempels van de sheets Floral Notes en Tangled Fragments.

Een eenvoudig kaartje; gewoon stempelen en inkleuren. 

 

I'm the happiest when I'm with you

 Wow, ik zie dat ik echt heel lang niets meer heb gepost. 

Ik heb ook een tijdje niet veel kaarten gemaakt. Heb me meer bezig gehouden met andere hobby's de afgelopen tijd. 

Maar onlangs vroeg Judith Smit mij of ik voor Chocolate Barqoue weer wat voorbeelden wilde maken. Daarom ging ik weer aan de slag en heb de laatst geshowde techniek gebruik om het eerste voorbeeld te maken. Een erg leuke techniek om in een korte tijd een kaart te maken.
