Colour in my world - Indian summer colors !

The back cover of my (full!) art journal. 

I tested Paper-Artsy's rusting powder on the diecut word TIME, and it worked out great. I applied it over wet texture paste, and had to wait for the rust. It really smells like rust, so I imagine it's real rust!

A color I don't choose that often..

On a Facebook Group I am on, we had to use a color we don't use often, and a seahorse on the project. 

I went for the gorgeous seahorse stamp from Designs By Ryn of course... and the color you won't see me use much is violet.
Actually, I discovered that there is no color I don't like at all.
I LOVE violet in combination with blues, as colors in Hydrangeas are really a favorite of mine, how couldn't it be!?! 

So, to be true, this was a real challenge for me, colorwise.  

The coloring has been done with Nuance from Magenta.. Black, and Violet... The blue has been added with a watercolor pencil, just a hint of it!

The bubbles are also from Designs By Ryn. 

The stamp I heat embossed in whoite is from Stampers Anonymus, an alltime favourite as far as I am concerned.

I loved working on this one!! Didn't think I was going to, because this wouldn't be a theme I would choose. I really had to think hard, but it turned out OK, I think...

I bought this stamp second hand, but it has never been used

A project I worked on..

I'm not a fan of Alice in Wonderland, but I have to show this project I worked on a while ago. ..

This project was very tiny. The stamp I made using a picture form Alice I found on internet. I adhered it to a real postage stamp,  that way the edge looks real...
