Birthday / Urodziny

Witajcie,

wróciła mi wena na kartki i znowu znajduję przyjemność w ich tworzeniu. Jest tym bardziej przyjemnie, że złapałem za komplet papierów i elementów papierowych w kolekcji "Rosalie" i kartka praktycznie zrobiła się sama.

Hello,

I'm inspired by the cards and I find pleasure in creating them again. It's even more pleasant that I grabbed a set of papers and paper ephemeras in the "Rosalie" collection and the card practically did itself.

Samą bazę ozdobiłem dwoma wzorami papierów tworząc dwie warstwy. Dopiero na nich zacząłem tworzyć kompozycję.

I decorated the base itself with two paper patterns, creating two layers. It was only on them that I started to create a composition.

Kompozycję ułożyłem zarówno z elementów wyciętych z dużego arkusza papieru jak i z papierowych dodatków dopasowanych do kolekcji. Wybrałem ramki, klatki, róże i motyle.

I arranged the composition both from elements cut from a large sheet of paper and from paper ephemeras matched to the collection. I chose frames, cages, roses and butterflies

Na koniec uzupełniłem kompozycję tekturką z napisem "W dniu urodzin".

Finally, I completed the composition with a cardboard with the words "On my birthday".

The Two of Us ~ A romantic layout with Sandi

Hello, everyone! 

Sandi here today sharing a romantic layout featuring both the Tailor doll stamps as well as a vintage photo of my parents. My mother used to sew quite a bit, so I thought it was fitting to use a photo of her and of course, had to include my dad. 

Last month some of the Design Team showed you some awesome ways to use the Tailor stamps. For my purpose, I merely included them in my background stamping. 

I used the Rose Rhapsody, Summer Rhapsody paper for my background and prepped it with a coat of clear gesso. Then I randomly stamped around my focal area with both the Add to Cart Stamp and the 

Hello Ladies Stamp. I also included some of the Stitches stickers collection to replicate some stitching. 

For my background stencil work, I've used the Antique Text Stencil and modeling paste. Once that was dry, I highlighted those areas with some color: Pink Ayeeda Water Ink as well as Olive Green Ayeeda Water Ink. 

Here is a close-up of one of the sweet young ladies from the stamp. 

Remembering my mom's passion for red lipstick, I had to include a phrase from the Hello Ladies Stamp and used it quite generously all over the page. "On a bad day, there is always lipstick." 

Under that stitch sticker is more stamping but my embellishments dictated the outcome as always. 

From my stash, I did use a white crochet doily and some black thread for texture. 

I am loving these new cardboard phrases that Aida created for us. You can find them HERE. 

For additional texture, I added some 3D Balls Medium. 

Sometimes I find that I like to deconstruct and alter my flowers and that is exactly what I've done here. I've added and removed layers. Cut and tore them in apart and also snipped the edges with a regular hole punch. It changes their character a bit and makes them more realistic. 

Lastly, I included some stamens from my 13 Arts Flowers stash and then splattered everything with 13 Arts SPLASH White Ayeeda Ink. I like this better than white gesso because it is more dimensional. 

Thank you for taking part of your day to visit the blog. 

I hope I've inspired you to get busy and just create!

Cosmic Art Journal by Monika

Witajcie! Wracam do Was z kosmicznym art journalem. Głównym elementem tej pracy są koła wycięte z płótna i pomalowane mgiełkami. Na kilku z nich zrobiłam embossing na gorąco z wykorzystaniem białego pudru.

Hello! I am coming back to you with the cosmic art journal. The main element of this work are circles cut from canvas and painted with mists. On some of them I did hot embossing using white powder.

Tło najpierw pokryłam czarnym gesso, a następnie pomalowałam metaliczną farbą aby dodać nieco blasku. Nałożyłam wzory z dwóch szablonów używając do tego pasty strukturalnej zmieszanej z Shiny Powder - to mój ulubiony sposób barwienia pasty. Na koniec dodałam kilka chlapnięć złotym tuszem Splash!

I covered the background with black gesso, and then painted with metallic paint to add a little glow. I applied patterns from two stencils using a structural paste mixed with Shiny Powder - this is my favorite way of coloring the paste. Finally, I added a few splashes with gold ink Splash!
