My Creative Monday for Magenta - sanded magazine paper


An easy but fun technique from me today: 
- Find a colorful background from a magazine. 
- Adhere it to a stencil temporarily, the stencil underneath the magazine paper, the colorful side up. 
- Sand over the paper very gently. 
- Use this paper as a background. 
- Stamp the butterfly three times in a dark brown; no need to mask off while stamping three of them.
- Stamp it onto white cardstock too, fussycut it and adhere over one of the butterflies.

My Creative Monday for Magenta - playing with stamps and watercolors


Ever thought of stamping with a light color and use that to watercolor the image to watercolor it?  
.. that's what I did here. 
I stamped the yellow flower, a daisy with a light brown stamping ink, and used watercolors to paint it. I also added some darker accents with a brown marker. 
I added the flower, which I fussy-cut, to a page in my art journal. 
The page was made with parts of a paper-napkin. I also added some blue one-stroke watercolor flowers for a nice contrast..

My Creative Monday for Magenta - white glue technique


I have a simple technique for you today, one you can use with any bold stamp: 
Dab white glue, like a wood glue, onto a bold stamp and stamp onto cardstock. Don't press too hard, or you will smooch the glue everywhere. 
Leave to dry. 
Sponge the background with distress inks; the glue will  take more of the color than the surface around it. 
Finish it off as shown. I stamped a script with yellow distress ink in the background, and added a white border around the image with a white acrylic marker.
