Merry Grinchmas Planer

 

 Hello!

Christmas is just around the corner, and we all want to make sure we please our loved ones with the right presents, a special Christmas dinner, a perfectly decorated Christmas tree, a spotless flat and so on. In this day and age, the motto is More is more. 

I'm sure you all know this problems. There are days when I feel like the well-known Grinch.

But does everything have to be perfect?

  

 

 I had a lot of fun putting these mood book (planner) pages together.

 You can use chipboard scraps or just individual parts of the chippies, 

add a little glitter dust and metallic paint, and you've got a special highlight on the page.

Moodbook 'Hello Spring' with 13arts

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

 I was inspired to create a minialbum or to be more exact

a moodbook for Spring.

I combined several materials like Ephemera, cut outs, foil elements from 13arts,

cutting dies, 

stamp motifs, fabric, lace leftovers

and dried plants.

 

used 13arts materials

Hope I could inspire you!

 

Happy creating!

The Sun, the moon and the stars

Hello!

  I'm back with a new inspiration for you. 

So let's start with our monthly challenge at SASPC

- it is - as usual - an

Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial

themed challenge and all kinds of projects (except digitally created ones) are welcome! 

So show us your tags, cards, art journal pages, canvases,

 altered objects, drawings, paintings, sketches....

whatever you're up to as long as it fits our challenge themes 

steampunk or industrial. 

I was inspired to create a new cover for an Art Journal in Mixed media style.

I wanted to reach a dark deep blue and used a mixture
from 3 DecoArt Fluid Acrylics
Prussian Blue Hue, Cobalt Blue Hue and Carbon Black

It was a real challenge to photograph this cover realistically 
and I must say it looks better in real life :)

We are looking forward to see your new creations! 

Thanks for visit!

# Curious for Scrap FX

Hello friends!

I was inspired to create a new Junk Journal.
That's the first pages in steampunk style with one of my favourite theme 'Under the SEA'.

I was in love with this amazing seahorse, so many details and very filigree, a beautiful black contrast, that looks like a silhouette. I added some mini cogs too, painted with some acrylic rust colours from DecoArt.

• a mixed media page, where I used the stencil Continuous chain with texture paste a grunge element on the left side 
•  Coral stamp one of my favourite background stamps, is always very suitable for nautical projects
• chipboard 'Suspendid Time' was cut into several parts, I used a gorgeous embossing powder 'Hammered Metal'

Have a good time!
