The Ice Queen

Welcome!

In an enchanting world of candle light, there 

is a place where young and old can meet for a fairytime 

to simply enjoy a wonderful atmosphere.

A magical winter world with some dancing ballerinas like snowflakes

blue, frosty and cold

I used some old bookpages, maybe from an old fairytale book ? 

No you cannot destroy it, old newspaper pages also worked

simply roll up and stick together

as a wonderful 3D frame

- Magic is believing in yourself -

for the words a black embossing powder wiped with silver acryl paint

if you can do that, you can make anything happen

some details

I used the beautiful silhouette butterfly as background (cut in two parts)

very filigree and a good contrast to the mixed media background, 

which was made with some fluid acrylic paints (green, blue, lavender) 

added some stars and butterflies stamps

first I used black magic embossing powder and then for the lower range 

a metalic blue pearl paint

a half golden lace flower as skirt and painted with some acrylic colors

GD Stamps and Stencils

Welcome Everyone!

I was so pleased to be asked to join you all 

as a Guest Creative Guide here at Stamps and Stencils.

This month the challenge theme is "Tags, Bags & Boxes"

I decided to make a tag in vintage style, Mixed Media ART

 a little christmas inspiration for you.

 

For the background I used a wonderful deer stamp, an old bookpage, glimmer mist sprays

and a metallic acrylic paint, not to forget a distress ink (Walnut Stain from Ranger)

for an altered effect.

 on the left corner you will see a christmas lantern 

( it's a foil chip from Tatterd Angels), painted with Snow Tex  from DecoArt

together with a pom pom ribbon.

On the upper egde a icecicle die with textured paper.

With two little tags  To - From

 and small silver bells I finished my gift tag.

Many thanks for stopping by!

Happy crafting!

Light and Shadow

Welcome friends!

 Rain and Sunshine

zum heutigen Tag möchte ich euch ein neues Art Journal Projekt vorstellen 

besinnlich und otimistisch

die Augen sind der Spiegel zur Seele, so sagt man doch?

und deshalb habe ich versucht, ein weinendes und ein strahlendes Auge zu zeichnen,

das zusammengesetzt ein Gesicht bildet
und aus dem Buch herausschauen soll

die dunklen und die hellen Seiten,
Momente im  Leben

ein Mix aus dunkleren Distressfarben, 

Vergänglichkeit und das Tempo unserer Zeit,
bei dem man das Gefühl hat, immer nur hinterher rennen zu müssen

oder manchmal nur daneben zu stehen, um dem Wahnsinn 

zuzusehen

 und ein Lieblingsspruch von mir 

 die helle Seite ist noch etwas verhalten sonnig,

 ich denke, das könnte auch etwas mit meiner inneren Einstellung zu tun haben

denn von 'heute bin ich weise '

 bin ich noch ein ganzes Stück weit entfernt ;-)

aber beide Seiten reichen sich versöhnlich die Hand!

Ich wünsche euch einen entspannten Sonntag!

GD A Vintage Journey

Hi everyone!

 I was so pleased and honored to be asked once again to join you all
 as a Guest Creative Guide here at A Vintage Journey.

 This month the challenge theme is "Cracking up"

I decided to make a tag in Altered Art, industrial style, for a friend

 which has just discovered her joy at painting.

I used crackle glaze on the edges for an altered, wheathered look.
 

together with old book pages, a crackle stamp in background 

and suitable chipboards, painted with black and metallic acrylic paints. 

The aged effect mainly based on Walnut Stain Distress ink.

Many thanks for stopping by!

Happy crafting!
