My Creative Monday for Magenta - Girl Collage 2

As promised last week: a colorful version of the butterfly collage stamp. 

The background has been made on a Histor sample of a very light blue paint. As it is a watercolor background I could easily remove the color from within the stamped images. I painted parts of the images with a water-diluted acrylic paint, then added color to part of the images. 
I finished the collage by stamping some tiny flowers around it.

My Creative Monday for Magenta - Tulip Collage

The gorgeous mandala stamp is so perfect for a colorful background. 
I added color to the stamp with Ecoline watercolor markers, misted it with water and stamped it onto white cardstock. 

The script in the background gets tied to the focal fussycut tulip as I stamped both in a dark purple. 
I colored the tulip with Twinkling H2O colors. 

An elegant colorful card, just perfect for the time of year.

My Creative Monday for Magenta - Cosmos collage

Today just a quick play... colorful background, extra color to the flower, and background stamping with postage stamps. 
Adding a little extra to the edges with some tears into the edge and a paper distresser, too... 
I stamped it with a very dark purple.. love to do that lately.. it's softer than a black and brown.

Inspiration for the mood board of January

Another page in my happy art journal with gelli printed pages... 

These colors fit the mood board colors for the Rubber Dance challenge this month well... 

There are prizes to be won on the Rubber Dance FB group.
You can share your makes with any product from Rubber Dance!!

... so join in the fun. 

These colors were quite a challenge for me, but in the end I am glad that I challenged myself to use 'only' these colors.

Vintage Antique Botanical Card

 

Today I am sharing a vintagy card on book paper...
 
The flower looks as if it has been made for this .. 

Adding a white watered down white gesso tones down the script on the bookpaper, and also lightens it a bit. The gesso also forms a barrier so the paper will not soke up all the color when adding color to the images. I colored the flowers with Ecoline, a fluid watercolor and added a few more touches with a water-based ink marker.  
The edges were sponged inward towards the image with a light blue distress ink.. where there is no gesso on the edges it will take up more color as to where there is gesso. 

To make the flower pop even more I added more white acrylic (also watered down to blend into the background better) around the image. 
The rest of the card speaks for itself I assume. 

Have a good day!

My Creative Thursday for Magenta - Leaf Collage Postcard

 

Stamping these leaves in a stamping platform and using watercolor markers to ink them up (one coloir at a time) makes for colorful and very unpredictable leaves. 

I LOVE how this turned out. 

To achieve good results you have to work on a very good watercolor card.
