My Creative Monday for Magenta - it's autumn !
I had some leftovers from another project, watercolors on photopaper, fussy cut the leaves from it to make these two cards.

My Creative Monday for Magenta - sanded magazine paper
An easy but fun technique from me today:
- Find a colorful background from a magazine.
- Adhere it to a stencil temporarily, the stencil underneath the magazine paper, the colorful side up.
- Sand over the paper very gently.
- Use this paper as a background.
- Stamp the butterfly three times in a dark brown; no need to mask off while stamping three of them.
- Stamp it onto white cardstock too, fussycut it and adhere over one of the butterflies.

My Creative Monday for Magenta - playing with stamps and watercolors
Ever thought of stamping with a light color and use that to watercolor the image to watercolor it?
.. that's what I did here.
I stamped the yellow flower, a daisy with a light brown stamping ink, and used watercolors to paint it. I also added some darker accents with a brown marker.
I added the flower, which I fussy-cut, to a page in my art journal.
The page was made with parts of a paper-napkin. I also added some blue one-stroke watercolor flowers for a nice contrast..

My Creative Monday for Magenta - white glue technique
I have a simple technique for you today, one you can use with any bold stamp:
Dab white glue, like a wood glue, onto a bold stamp and stamp onto cardstock. Don't press too hard, or you will smooch the glue everywhere.
Leave to dry.
Sponge the background with distress inks; the glue will take more of the color than the surface around it.
Finish it off as shown. I stamped a script with yellow distress ink in the background, and added a white border around the image with a white acrylic marker.

Art journal pages turned into cards:

The journal fell apart..
.. and I love how the 2 pages make 2 very unique cards.
