Collage Papers from Dina Wakley

Playing today!

It measures 25 x 15 centimeters.. 

LOVE these papers! 

This is the piece of paper I started with to make the collage: part of a brayer cleanup page from gelliprinting.. LOVE it!

For added interest I added a little red into the background as well... 

Gelliprint plus cirkels

Op de Dutch Art Journal groep op Facebook hebben we op dit moment
een opdracht in de reeks van 'Gelliprinten en de Art Journal'; opdracht 2.

De opdracht is om een gelliprint te gebruiken in je art journal, of een gedeelte ervan en de thema cirkels ook te gebruiken.  

Ik maakte deze dubbele pagina art journal; de achtergrond is een gelliprint en de cirkels de gebrayerde restpapier van de sessie die ik deed met Fresco paints van Paper Artsy al een poosje terug.   

Stempel van de tekst is van Magenta, de afbeeldingen en script van tissue papier van Ranger. 

SPELEN heet dit!!

My Creative Monday for Magenta

When using such a big text stamp, it's always nice to use a colorful background for it. 

I added some layers of mixed media and decoupage;
it really makes the 'Thank You' stand out beautifully!!
It has been heat embossed in white. 

This is a background (a leftover) made during a workshop I taught, called RESIST.

My Creative Monday for Magenta

I had fun making this card! 

This background was a leftover piece from a workshop RESIST I gave;
a nice start for stamping this flower which is a new design from me with Magenta;
 it's available in 2 sizes. 

A close-up!

Lekker spelen met stencils, Nuance en washi tape ..

Je kunt nog steeds meedoen met de challenge bij Hobbycompleet De Duif in de maandelijkse challenge. De thema is : gebruik een stencil en washi tape. 

Ik maakte dit voorbeeld: 

Ik gebruikte hier de Nuance van Magenta, stencil van TCW en de insecten van Stampers Anonymus... de Entymology set. En de tape is ook van Ranger.

Leg de Crafter's Workshop Template 6"X6"
Elliptic op je kaartkarton en breng Ranger Crackle
Texture Paste aan met een paletmes.
Goed laten drogen. Maak een tweede vierkantje in het middenmet dezelfde stencil en structuurpasta.
Goed laten drogen. 

Sprenkel een beetje Nuance poeder van Magenta,in de kleuren MNU003 en MNU004 op hetkaartkarton en spray met water.Laten drogen.

Plak er stukjes transparant tape (washi tape) over.

 Stempel 2 insecten van de stempelset Stampers

Anonymus ‘entomology’ op vloeipapier en plakhet erop met decoupage lijm.

Wanneer alles goed droog is, breng witte accentenaan met een Sharpie Extra Fine Point Poster Paint Marker,en zwarte accenten met een zwarte watervaste marker. 

Kleur de insecten met een aquarelpotlood. 

Book 14 - for series 52

week 14 : book 14. 

This time a booklet with 3 signatures in an elastic band type of binding.. 

It measures 10,5 x 14,3 centimeters. 

For further info on this series : see this post

You can find this gorgeous tissue wrap here: 

Hobbycompleet De Duif - botanical collage paper. LOVE it!

The gelliprint has been made by Anette van den Berg at the Art Specially Event last weekend. She is my teamy in the DT for Hobbycompleet De Duif in Leeuwarden. I promised her I would set this beautiful print to good use!

I glued the print to a sturdy piece of cardboard.

The prints were done with Versafine Clair inks, they're gorgeous! The pattern of flowers is a stencil from Dyan Reaveley, and the pattern within the flowers has been done with an art printing stamp from Carabelle. 

The lettering has been done with black structure paste and a stencil from AALL&Create

The (3 coloured) elastic bands keep the 3 signatures in place. 

I've scored the spine of the booklet 5 times, to allow the signatures to fit nicely; the middle 3 were used to hold the elastic bands. The elastic bands were knotted on the inside of the booklet, so only a part of it is showing outside; at the bottom and top of the spine.

Book 5 - for series 52

For further info on this series : see this post

week 5 : book 5. 

This time a booklet from 17 envellopes.. 

It measures 12 x 18,5 centimeters. 

The envellopes can be used as pockets to keep photographs, or labels, or anything that you'd like to save as a keepsake. 

This is really a way to bind that I've come up with all by myself.. trial and error made it perfect in the end. I might come up with a workshop about making it, so I will not share more details about it.

AND remember... this series is about me, and myself, and not for a DT, so bare with me not sharing too much info anyway.

Hope you like it!!

Please leave a comment if you do.. that inspires me to make more :)

AJC #81 Kaart voor een man/ A card for a man

Joining in with the challenge at Art Journey  with this card, I used Distress Oxide inks for the coloring!

Altered art?!

A little gift .. .as a thank you to a friend.

The feathers are from chickens from this friend.

I made this during our holiday... with found feathers at our accomodation.

I scored the bread board and the pebbles during one of our outings to thrift stores. 

Easy to do .. on any surface or any substrate. 

I (Ellie), would love it if you would take the time to have a look at the step-by-step in the Snapguide;

just for you AA fans...

Check out How to Do an Easy Altered Art Project With Found Objects by Art Anthology on Snapguide.

...  and be inspired of course!

Please show us what you've made on our

Please tag me and I'll come visit!

The project in an early stage:

(LOVE these stencils!)

AND a close-up of the finished project:

AND a few pictures of the finished project on the wall.

Enjoy!

I made a lot of different pictures, because I knew I was not going to be able to photograph this at home. Here a funny one: the project with a lot of glass pebbles and tissue wrap, to get you in the mood! (grin)

Enjoy your day, and happy crafting until next time!!
