My Creative Monday for Magenta - Stencil Fun

I LOVE to create mixed media cards with backgrounds of bookpaper. 

Basically use stencils, Nuance and structure paste
 and just let things happen.

My Creative Monday for Magenta - a technique

I have a technique this time. 

Apply grunge paste through a stencil; ink up a script stamp with black and red ink; stamp into the wet paste. Remove the stencil, Leave it to dry. Color the background with some Nuance, sprayinks or watercolor. ( I've used Twinkling H2o watercolors).
Finish it off with a fussycut stamped image.

On this ATC the background has been stamped into, just as on the card, but without inking up the script stamp. Finish it off with a fussycut stamped and colored image and some transparent tape, or washi tape. 

Try this technique, it always makes for a beautiful background!!

Stampendous feathers

I've been playing with this gorgeous collage stamp from Stampendous... a lot...

LOVE it..

I used it with distress inks, Distress Oxide inks, white heat embossing, tapes, Nuance powders.

Various techniques on all of them as well... it was playtime for me.. 

The script I've used on several of them is my own design for Magenta. (Just so you know)

"Thinking of you"

Playing with distress inks and an acrylic block makes for beautiful backgrounds.

LOVE this owl stamp from Impression Obsession.. and the other stamps of course 😃

Ik mag het eindelijk vertellen! / I'm allowed to tell you now!

Ik mag een heeeeel jaar het "The Crafter's Workshop" team versterken! 

Kijk maar hier: de aankondiging..

Ik ga er van genieten !

De vlaggetjes mogen nu wel uit toch? 

I will be in the design team for The Crafter's Workshop for the period of a whole year! HOW cool is that??

I AM going to enjoy!

Look for the announcement of the new team on their blog!

Hier een project dat ik al een tijdje geleden gemaakt heb... voor Kadocato

Komt nu goed uit.. HAPPY!

I ought to use this more!

I have 'tons' of beautiful pictures... from animals to weeds, to birds etc. I also fuzzy cut most of them, to be able to use them in combination with stamping, or with art journalling, mixed media etc. 

Here I used a picture of this rabbit, which is a picture from an old diary. (I think it was one from Marjolein Bastin). 

I LOVE old diaries...also children's books, some of them have such lovely pictures in them! 

I just bought an old book for 1 euro about the history of music on a flea market. There's some beautiful 'scrapbookpaper' in it !!

So, I need to use these more in future! 

The background has been sponged into this frame with post it note paper, and distress inks. 

The script has been stamped before I adhered the rabbit to the card. 

Nice card for  a child as far as I am concerned. 

At this moment I am not sure what brand script I used in the background, have to look that up..

1. Simon Says Stamp - I ought to use this more!

There is some (green) glitter and glossy accents on the leaves.
I decided not to cover it entirely with glitter (as Tim has on his tag), because otherwise it would not have the typical fall colors on it. Hope you like it!

Sketch challenge Magenta for March

 This is the layout I created for the challenge on the Magenta blog, see details below!

I started off with the beautiful scrapbookpaper from Magenta. I cut the frame and turned the backside of it, to the front, so you actually see both sides of the doublesided paper 


The dragonflies are chipboard pieces. They were stamped over with the irish blessing after painting it with acrylic paint.

The lines at the bottom were created with custom-made masking tape, I stamped the Irish blessing on it. 

I chose to keep the colors very light to coordinate with the backgroundpaper.
