Lente !?

Art Journalen / Art Journaling day 5 "Rust"

I am entering this in the challenge on the Sirstampalot challenge blog which is "Anything stamped with option Wings and Tails"

For me art journaling is playing with product without any rules.

I started in a new journal and hope to fill it with a lot of pleasure, no time limit, no pressure.
Using up some of my collage fodder in the process is a plus +

It's called 'Rust' ... dutch for 'Rest' (like in resting)

Wings and Tails

I am entering this in the challenge on the Sirstampalot challenge blog which is "Anything stamped with option Wings and Tails"

The background is a technique where you use colored pieces of paper and cover it partially with white acrylic paint.
The butterfly was fussycut from a separate piece of paper.

Exploring color with butterflies and flowers

I made 2 cards for you today, showcasing what a difference color makes on a background and focal point.

I've used some leftover backgrounds from a post back in November 2022.

In that post I made ATC's with an uncolored focal point. It would look like the card below : no color on the main image.

Color added to the image:

I went a step further... not just coloring, but choosing 4 different colors from the background to color the main images. Purple and orange on the card above, green and blue on the card below:

Just so you can see the cards together : it makes a huge difference as to what colors get used on the main image as it makes the colors used in the image pop more in the background.

...and the second :

Enjoy some more pictures:

I always get more depth when photographing the projects upright with a light source on the left, in a light box. ..

That's it for today, I hope you got inspired by my two cards to explore color.

Please share it with us in the FB group and have a chance at winning some product from the shop as we have an ongoing challenge with an extra moodboard if you like to use itIt is basically a anything goes challenge though, you do not have to use the colors of the moodboard.

Come join in the fun and be inspired by our lovely design team!

My Creative Monday for Magenta - Leaf collage

Another easy gelli printed background card from me today!

I tore the edges of it.
I stamped some script in the background.
The image was stamped onto tissuepaper, heat embossed with clear and painted white at the back; when dry adhered to the card with decoupage glue.

The sentiment finishes it off.
