Shine brightly - Yulya Chorna

 Hello dear friends!

Hello everybody! The end of the year is approaching and with it a whole series of New Year and Christmas holidays. I think each of us is looking forward to when 2020 will finally end 😁

At the same time, I think we all hope that next year will be more friendly to us ☺️.I believe that will be the case! 

In the end, it is important to believe in this and move forward, forward, into the future with optimism.

That's why the motto of my first New Year's card this season is smile. A smile is a companion of faith and optimism. So let's meet the new year with a smile and hope that 2021 will bring us new goals, objectives, and opportunities :)

Today, with this card, I begin my winter holiday season. I hope it'll add you a New Year's mood 🙂

In the meantime, I continue to work on the new cards in the New Year's series. So stay in touch!

Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout "Beautiful" by Heike`s AugenBlick

 Hello my dear blog reader,

Heike here from Heike`s AugenBlick , and I am your blog host for today.

Finally my favorite season of year started, I am so happy.

October,  the start of the fall season.

Alexander Smith`s quote circumscribes the new month perfectly:

"In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those 

of a fine October".

The smell of baked apple with marzipan, hot chocolate and pumpkin soup is filling my house.

Soon the shelves will be filled with the first Christmas candy and first Christmas decoration.

So exciting!!!

But anyway, I have for you a scrapbook layout in mixed media style.

I created my page on the new paper collection Bella and Sunrise.

What I really love is to combine different paper collections.

For this page I was also inspired by the October challenge Mood Board.

Please look at the sidebar for the current challenge from 13@rts

Beautiful...

A closer look:

Here is a short description of my background.

I like to create with two strongly competing colors. 

In my case on the page the dark blue paper from the Sunrise paper collection and the 

light gray/ white Bella paper collection.

I torn the Sunrise paper and glued on the Bella paper, after that I added two layers

of clear Gesso.

My idea was that the dark side should get texture and the light side should stay flat.

So I added under the transparency a layer gel medium to one of the new stencils of 13@rts

and I covered the gel medium with two different embossing powders from WOW. 

I let the whole thing dry overnight. 

On the next day, I started with melting the embossing powder

and adding the first color layer. My color choice was burnt sienna chalk spray from 13@rts.

I added it with a plastic pipette, this is my favorite tool for adding spray color.

I applied the spray three times, always drying between the layers, for a wonderful result.

After that I added black gesso, stamp images, big black numbers and scribbeling.

Now my background was done and I started with glueing the transparency and my focale point.

Scrapbook layout by Heike`s AugenBlick

Hello my dear blog reader, 

Heike here from Heike`s AugenBlick, designer for 13@rts.

Not only that I am your challenge host for the month of August

(I hope you saw my mood board and find the time to take part in the August challenge).

The challenge can be found on the right side from the 13@rts blog page.

But anyway:

I am here today to inspire you to create with the wonderful products of 13@rts.

I created a scrapbook layout in mixed media style.

Here is a short description about my creative process.

As always I started with adding two layers of clear gesso on both sites of my paper sheet.

After my clear gesso was dry, I started with adding texture and color.

Therefore I mixed color glow with multipurpose gel medium

and I added the mix to a stencil from 13@rts. After that I repeated

this step with  another color from color glow. I let the whole thing air dry.

In the mean time I painted my title (cardstock-words) with yellow watercolor, cut a sheet of  the Rosalie

collection with my big shot and a DIE from Tim Holtz and I painted die cut element  also with yellow watercolor.

After my texture was dry I added paint. First black gesso on the edges. Watercolor and a mix of color glow with acrylic-medium. The next step was stamping. After that I added gold glitter with the plallet-

knife to my background. I glued my focal point, embellishments / flowers, and than I added again texture but this time a mix of gel medium and 3D flakes, sequin and diamond-dust.

Finale touch splattering and scibbeling.

My photo which I used for this scrapbook layout is from:

Sacha Goldberger, born in 1968, he is a  French photographer and writer.

Mixed Media Layout by Heike`s AugenBlick

Hello everyone,

Heike here from Heike`s AugenBlick and I have today the pleasure to inspire you to work with the wonderful products of 13@rts.

The summer has arrived here in The Netherlands with days around 25 degrees Celsius. 

Wonderful to sit in the garden and enjoy the nature. 

I got a beautiful hammock with wooden stand from my handsome hubby. 

Now I have to be careful that I don't just lie in the hammock and read. 

Living is so beautiful if you know how to enjoy it. But anyway..

"FAVORITE"...

is my Steampunk inspired mixed media layout with a photo of my son Joshua.

A closer look.

Background steps on my page:

I started my mixed media layout on two sheets of paper called: Rosefield and the clock.

My first step was adding two layers of clear gesso. After everything was dry very well, I added a layer of a mix from acrylic medium, color glow topaz and rainbow color navy blue to my background.

The left over mix was for the chipboard decoration and for splatters. I decided to play along with the stencil dance of gears and a mix of multipurpose gel and color glow calcite. I dryed my background over night. The next day I started with painting around the gears with orange rainbow color and vivid orange. After the color was dry I added gold glitter to the gears and also to the blue colored chipboards. My last step on my background was adding black gesso with texture powder.

Now it was time for my focal point. 

I used from 13@rts:

 Rosalie 12 x 12 inch paper pad

Victoriana 6 x 6 inch paper pad

Timeless Scrapbook Layout by Heike`sAugenBlick

Hello friends from 13@rts, 

I am Heike and I am your host for today. 

Now we have the month of May. What luck do we have with this spring weather.  

We spend many hours in our garden, which now shines so wonderfully in the green spring color.

And the first BBQ we have already passed.

But anyway.

I have for you as inspiration a scrapbook layout with a photo of my youngest daughter Mia.

How I start my creative process.

1. I started with two layers of clear gesso from 13arts. This clear gesso layer allows me to work with liquid products so as watercolor.

2. My second step is then always the selecting of my photo. I prefer black and white photo images.

3. Then I decide to put together my color-theme. Here I let myself be guided by my feelings of my mood of the day.

4. For a success on my craft tabel, I like to create with nature- relax music or classic music. A good cup of tea next to me.

That is what I love to do before I start with creating.
