My Creative Monday for Magenta - butterfly collage

I LOVE the two new butterflies in the collection .. to showcase them I added the older little bee to the collage. 

The background is a gelliprint on a round gelliplate with the flowery mask, to which I decoupaged tissue paper. 

I have this tissue paper in my stash; ready to use in any collage. I stamped the butterfly collage, 40.327.N, onto this said tissue paper with a black ink. 

I hope you like it!

My Creative Monday for Magenta - Flower Gelli printed card

An easy card today: a gelli printed background that is beautiful all on its own. 

The print ended up being grungy, but also has the flower image (from the mask) defined in such a nice way. 
I added some black edges to the flowers; extra color to the inside of it, and around it to make it pop more. 

 I drew circles with a black marker and glued some thick glitter pieces to it.
In the background some script to finish it off. 

I plan to adhere a printed Bible verse on the card before sending it off!

My Creative Monday for Magenta - tag collage

Good day to you!  
This tag (on the second background) is a beautiful example of sponging (dark green) over a colored background with a mask.  

The bottom background is part of a torn book page colored in a lighter green. 

Stamping and splattering with an orange ink gives extra dimension. 

I added embellishments and white accents too.

Art Journaling with Sketchy images and marks

A good day to you.. I hope you are doing well! 

I had a play in an Art Journal,
to be true it was a challenge in my FB Dutch Art Journal group.
I gave the participants one assignment per day, as prompts, and also tips to go along with it.
They turned out to be 7 days of assignments. 

 I decided to share the days (steps) with Rubber Dance, why not?

We had fun!  

For more info on the steps please see the full tutorial on the Rubber Dance blog. 

My Creative Monday for Magenta - Nuance on photopaper

Playing with Nuance and masks on photopaper : it really is so much fun.
Sprinkle the powder onto the mask, mist with water and use the mask as a stamp.

I fussycut the flowers and made a collage of it with script stamps. 

These will always turn out very different!

My Creative Monday for Magenta - playing with masks and stencils

Easy to create:
Create a colorful background; stamp onto it with script stamps; draw around the masks with a pencil; fill in the areas around the images with watered-down white acrylic paint (maybe 2 layers if needed); add some doodling with a white acrylic marker within the 'images'.

I think I don't have to mention that you need to leave it to dry between the steps.

I turned this background into 2 cards...

My Creative Monday for Magenta - Beeswax on the edge

Playing with beeswax is so much fun. 

It gives an extra layer and when heated easily stamped in. 

Enhance the stamping with some Rub 'n Buff, Treasure Gold or similar product for a metal effect. 

The base of this card is sponging distress ink around a mask and adding doodling, extra color, white heat embossing and white accents with an acrylic marker.

My Creative Monday for Magenta - watercolors on photopaper

Remember me doing a whole bunch of cards on photopaper; using watercolors on it?! 

I did not like the background, so painted it with a white water diluted acrylic paint. 

I heat embossed the script in white and added white with an acrylic marker as shown;  now the flowers pop.
