Scraps of Darkness - Let's get lost

Hello!

A new inspiration for our  

Scraps of Darkness July Wayfarer Kit

Friday is a nice day, because weekend is comming. Enjoy nature, stroll along the water, walk through the forest with our dog, that's relaxation pure for me.

The new background paper from Blue Fern Studios from the Main Kit was the perfect frame for my nature photo.

I worked with a spiderweb stencil,some fern leaves chipboards, emphera pieces from Prima Marketing, the new layered die-cut ebellishments from 49 and Market, all elements are very suitable for a forest layout with nature feeling.

 The photo is always my real focal point, but I love to try out and 

why have photos have to be square? so I decided to cut out the children.

 Yacht Stencil with white modeling paste, when it was dry I applied some Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels, this water based colours are transparent with a very fine glimmer shine.

and my second layout - At Sunset

I'm a big fan of old sailor ships. The 'Hanse Sail' shall take place once at year on the Baltic Sea. You can see there very impressive windjammers, traditional ships and museum ships. IT's really a highlight for me and my vintage soul.

Hello!

I'm a modern girl with a big vintage heart and as I saw this wonderful old photo from a sheltie 

I thought this must be a new 'altered' layout.

In our month July Kit 'Elements Add on 

you can find again this amazing layered die cut embellishments from 49 and Market, 

dragonflies and leaves the right elements for very natural theme like 

adventures in forest and meadows.

The flowers from 49 and Market are always a highlight,

 they look very lively and natural for me.

 

I also used some oldbook page leftovers, torned paper stripes, emphera and stickers pieces from Prima Marketing

and two printed chipboards from our July 'Wayfarer' Main Kit.

 I love it to use die cuts to add dimension, here I tried the burlap fabric (from Main Kit) 

with some 'Star' cutting dies, it works very good

I combine plastic and paper leaves 

and suitable to my vintage look I colored the layer embellishments 

with a little bit metal acrylic paint 

'Copper'

Thanks for your visit!

Happy crafting!

DT Canvas Corp Brands - Tutorial - Altered Frame

Hello!

It's never too late ....

to have a good day!

A truly saying, or?!
if you come dragging in from work and you've had a miserable week, 
just pick yourself up on weekend relax and

start with creating or other things that will make you a lot of fun.

Don't forget the time only for you!
That was my idea behind this easy and quick making
wooden frame.

used materials from Tattered Angels and other companies

can you see here

-  How I do this -

applying Modeling paste through the brick stencil,

 allow the paste to dry

use a mixture from Tinting base and texture paste
and  add a thin layer about the whole surface

coloured a piece of gauze with the Glimmer Glam 'Rustic'
glued on the bottom edge
together with the self adhesive 'Lady statue'

use Glimmer Glam 'Rustic' and a brush and painted the brick surface
it's a very awesome glimmer paint and perfect for projects in altered art

 sprayed with Glimmer Mist 'Linen' for an antique look

 

finally use a metallic wax paint and distress all the edges with your fingers

now you can decide whether you will a like an old family photo
 or a saying
your choice :-)

Happy weekend!

DT Scraps of Darkness - Bon Voyage

Hello!

 I want to share my latest summery layout with our

 new July 'Wayfarer' Kit

I was inspired from our latest holiday trip.  The 'Hanse Sail' shall take place once at year 

on the Baltic Sea. 

You can see there very impressive windjammers, traditional ships and museum ships. 

IT's really a highlight for me and my vintage soul, because I'm a big fan of old sailing ships.

 I used a wonderful background paper from 'Wanderlust' Blue Fern Studios Collection, a printed chipboard shape and some stickers and elements from our last month kit.

some close ups

 some chipboards from Blue Fern Studios were colored with white acrylic paint 

and embossed with 'Whirpool' Glitter Powder

printed chipboards are very stable, but I cuted this piece in two halfes, it's also possible

 I took some brown cardstock and stamped some nautical motifs with Stazon 'Spiced Chai'

I fussy cut them out

and glued only on some places stamp motif Flag banner

for a 3D effect

I hope you like this inspiration

and all the other wonderful projects of our teamies!

Have a nice day my friends!

DT SASPC - Sunken Dreams

Welcome everyone!

and a  new inspiration for 

SanDee & Amelies Steampunk Challenge

You know I'm a big mixed media fan, I love the mix from colors, textures and various materials.

This project was really a playground with a lot of fun for me.

IT's a 50 x 20 cm canvas and I used textures techniques such as 

stencils with modeling paste,

magical material Tyvek,

cheesecloth,

natural deco materials (driftwood, shells, sead heads)

 3D pearls and some drip drops from glue stick.

 

 

 my octopus, a little bit other ;-) I'm afraid he has knoted his arms

 I used a modeling clay freely modelled by hand

finished with metallic paints from DecoArt

 If you would like to know some more DETAILS, please don't hesitate to contact me.

My english isn't the best, because it's not my native language,

but I make a lot of effort in this area.

 But that costs a lot of time, which I prefer to spend with crafting, 

I hope you will understand this!

If someone is interested you can ask me

again and again with joy!

 :-) I will do my very best :-)
