Underwater treasures with 13arts

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

It's summertime here and everyone dreams of holidays by the sea. 

I love fascinating underwater worlds.

 

When I discovered the beautiful turtle motif on a paper card set A6 

from the collection 'Down Under' at 13arts

 I was inspired to create a mixed media layout.

 

Used it as center piece and took the colors as inspiration

 and continued them 

on matching chipboards

 and on the blue background paper 

(collection Sunrise)

Snail Mail with 13arts

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

I was in love from the beginning 

in this realistic looking 3d frame from 

the collection 'Industrial Zone' from 13arts.

It looks so lifelike and the grunge style in rust is really awesome!

 

I used the backside from a canvas as base, 

cut out the centre piece and glue it

on the frame.

Rustic pipelines are also a cutout from this great paper collection,

 Simply put together and lightly overlapped, they look like a real thing,

doesn't it?

 

 combined with some chipboards from Dusty Attic, cutting dies,

flowers and dried floristic materials a perfectly combination for me and my theme

Snail Mail - Botanical Steampunk Garden

Night of a full moon with 13arts

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

Have you ever experienced the magical aura of the full moon?

I discovered an enchanted figure on a meadow 😀 

Was that reality or a dream?

 

As I saw the amazing background paper 'In the woods' 

from the 'Queen of the Night' my imagination was awakened

 and I was inspired to create a mixed media layout.

Together with this great Dark Queen motif from this collection 

a meadow in moonlight was created.

 

To make the queen look even more alive, she got a shimmering skirt

 made of wide ribbon and small green feathers, as well as transparent wings.

 Besides papers from 'Queen of the Night ' collection I also used

papers and elements from 'Aurora', also a very suitable collection for fantasy stories

in addition transparency foil, stencils, glitter ink and floristic materials

all this products can you find at 13arts

Happy creating!

Winterdays DT Maja Design

 Welcome Maja friends!

 

Recently we have made a beautiful winter trip in the mountains 'Harz'.  

Snow and ice magically transformed the landscape into a winter fairy tale.

It's still February 

and winter has us in its grip with lots of snow and icy temperatures. 

A winter where you look forward to spring all the more. Hopefully it will be soon!

 

 

I used some paper sheets from the 'Holiday in the Alps' collection 

Snowflakes bs;  Slalom

Altered Book - In the Forest

 Hello creative friends!

A walk through the autumn forest inspired me to create another  book in Altered Art.

I used some papers from the 'Forest' paper collection as background

 and some matching cut out motives. 

It was completed with cutting dies, chipboards and natural elements.

- Silence speaks when words can't -

I love this wise saying, and suits me well.

I hope I could inspire you to try some projects out off the page, 

because there is a lot of possibilties what you can do with amazing papers!

 

If you need some instructions, please feel free to ask me!

I plan to design another one in winter mood, then I could illustrate your questions.

Thanks so much for your visit!

Have a good time friends!!
