Magenta challenge - Anything Goes!

 I've made this booklet with crackle paint and structure paste, spraying with custom-made sprayinks and some stamping, 
The cardboard for the back and front were covered with fabric (cotton), before applying a darkbrown acrylic paint. Then I applied the crackle, left it to dry. I added a layer white acrylic paint and left it to dry again.. 
I added the butterflies through a stencil (from Magenta - I so LOVE this stencil) with structure paste.
I sprayed it with the custom-made blue pearl-spray.


 The inside:


I so love the effect of the crackle!

Saturday again, so it's Katzelkraft day for me .. yet again...

I used the single stamp Maude here, and in the background the script from
KTZ40-02.
I sometimes like to use some scrapbookpaper, to match with a certain stamp. The die is from Memory box

Hope you like it!

It's a special time...



The tag was a tag attached to a new pair of jeans. Recycling it's called LOL.

I sanded the edges after adding gesso randomly with a creditcard.
I sprayed with blue custom-made pearl spray, stamped the image twice with brown memeto ink, and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. The fern on the card itself has been stamped with a stamp-positioner to get it stamped in the exact right place. The script in the background has been stamped with the same ink as the ferns, just not heat-embossed.

Three Art Journal pages for Journal 52

THEME - Rain or shine
I wrote the following text on the edges: 
"Rain or shine - I prefer shine .. BUT when looking at all the shiny colors after a little rain, I prefer both, one at a time"



*****

 THEME - Party animals

I wrote the following text on the edges:
"I am always so enjoying the beautiful drawn pictures in children's books! I adore how the animals are used in the stories as if they are just as us, people!"




*****

 THEME - Recycle
 I recycled pattern paper, and the front page of the Burda pattern to create this page. 




I am back on track now!
