Artist Trading Cards - be happy

Happy Monday everyone, I'm showing you two ATCs today. 


The base is a Gelli print that I foiled. 


I also made the flowers out of Gelliprints. In my experience, StazOn adheres best to Gelliprints without smearing. That's always a pity, isn't it? So I only use this one. The little cut-out butterflies are just a small addition as decoration. 



Enjoy a good week, stay creative and healthy.

Hi Everyone and happy Wednesday!

I Wish I Could Art Journal - by Bibi

Image
Hey everyone! I'm not sure whether what I've made for today can be called an art journal page or altered canvas, because it's really neither .. It's not a page in a journal and the "canvas" is a piece of cardboard, so... maybe it's a hybrid of sorts. No matter what it's called, here it is! And this is what it looks like with the guitar flap open: The reason why I made this .. "whatever it's called" .... is that I've had this bundle of guitar string-looking wire lying on the floor in my studio for some time. Yes, on the floor! (If you thought I'm a very neat and tidy person, I'm sorry to burst the illusion). I've no idea where that wire bundle came from, and I'm not sure why I hadn't bothered to pick it up... but I've looked down on it from time to time, thinking I could probably use it for something, some fine day... .... and then, a few weeks ago a friend of mine was visiting, he pic...

Playful Penguin Card by Dot Leathbridge

Image
 Hi everyone. One of the good things to come out of the pandemic is the reinforcement of how so very special our friends are. So this card is for all our friends, near and far. Would you like to see how it was made? I have a step x step for you. And I made a little discovery that  uses masking (my favourite technique) but on a gel plate this time. The baby penguin, from Playful Penguins ,  is the first thing to be stamped. Mask off the baby penguin, stamp the mom, masking off again. Then stamp the moon from Celestial and the floating ice sheets from Playful Penguins . It's surprising how many stamps are in this set. I stamped the waves once, then masked the top of it so that I could add the seal. I wanted it to look like he is popping up out of the water to say hello. The seal is then masked and more waves are added around him to create the sea. This is where my happy little discovery happens. I wanted to have the reflection of the moon in the water. I decided to use my g...

Easter Home Decor

Image
Hi everyone! It's Susanne today and I like to share with you some Easter decoration I created for myself. I used a styrofoam heart and a egg and of course the beautiful Rubber Dance stamps. I started by stamping the images on a big piece of tissue paper. I used black Archival Ink, because it is waterproof. I cut the little images apart and ripped the bigger ones into smaller pieces. I put the styrofoam pieces on a spear. I adhered the paper savings with Mod Podge® to the styrofoam. It's important to start on the edges of the heart and on the top and bottom side of the egg. So you'll get a beautiful image in the middle. After everything was dry I paint some acrylic paint randomly onto the heart and the egg. I used a color called "butter". I add some ribbons to finish it up. I love the result. It looks totally shabby chic. The stamps are working so well with this theme and I'm sure this would also be a nice gift idea for the spring season. ...
