Some cards

For the new year ,I've done a very simple card : The background is done with some Distress ink and embossing with the stamp(T.Holtz) in white. Afterwards I sewed some punch Christmas tree in the middle.  Lastly I sewed a border before gluing it on a black card. To complete the trees, some drops of Liquid pearl to make it look like they have decorations. Finally stamp some wishes words (wood stamp T.H) on the cards.

Here is another version but with different colors ( sorry for the bad quality of the pictures ) 

That's it for today,
Have a wonderful day,

Same size

Today , another canvas of the same size but a little bit different.

In the background, I put some mesh and modeling paste.
After I sprayed some ink.
On the edges of the canvas , I put some lace and colored it with with gelatos.
All the elements are worked on before : buttons, wings , letters, zipper... are covered with white gesso, then  ink and lastly embossing powder.


That's all for now,

after the workshop

After a workshop, the best is to try the technique again and again ! That was what I did with the patina stuff (from Ranger) and the technique I learned recently .Some of my creations:

• On a tag (in blue and yellow mix of Distress Ink on the background and Patina on adhesive metal sheets that are embossed beforehand )

 

• On a card (embossed adhesive metal sheet and beer cap, and charm all covered with patina )

That's all for now !
Thanks for stopping by !

Lost your creativity ?

For this booklet in watercolor paper  I was inspired by Craft Stamper Magazine ( issue October 2013 36/37/38/39 pages ). The pages have different sizes . The background is worked  with watercolor. The borders are simple doodles made using a black pen and the pages are kept together using strips of Washi Tape.

Another cover

Today, another cover for an alternative book !

 

  Part one (before stick on the initial cover ) 

I worked with canvas and with gesso white.After I glued different elements that I found in my boxes ( Letters , puzzle pieces, ticket, mesh, gaze, heart and bird in wood, papers...) I painted everything in white and began to work with modeling paste(corner left in bottom/ corner right in top and under the letters in a middle) . After everything is dry, I used some different colors of  Dylusions Ink Spray waiting for the colors to dry before using another.
To finish and protect my work, I used a layer of clear vanish transparent.
Now it's ready to stick it on the book:

And the others parts of the cover :

  The spine of the book

The back of the book

I put Waski Tape to cover the edges of the book and voilà :

Thank you for looking !

Have a good day .
