Guest Design Craft O' Clock - Altered Book Christmas

 

Welcome creative souls!

 

Today another guest design inspiration, it's a vintage book in Altered Art. 

 

I love to create books in Altered Art and such a lot of 

beautiful christmas motifs in the - Warm and Peaceful - collection have 

invited me to design it.

 

I used a 20 x 20 cm background paper from this collection and

 endless motifs to cut out, that made the scissors glow 😁

they were supplemented with suitable cutting dies, a little tree and cones. 

Cut out motifs were arranged in several layers of the gutted old books,

creating an amazing 3d effect.

Happy advent season!

Creativity is ... with 13arts

 

 Welcome everyone!

 

 Have you seen yet the latest 13arts collections???

 

Amazing, one of them a limited edition is 'City Lights' .

A young modern design, very graphic, main colors are pink and black, 

so totally different from my usual style. 

But I love such challenges, you can rediscover yourself.

 

I have combined the mixed media layout with the theme 

What is creativity??? 

 I used some papers from this collection as background and layers

and created with some stripes 3 rays - the city lights,

 in addition I use cutout motifs, a stencil and chipboards.

Some denim leftovers from an old jeans provide a cool look.

 

It could also be an art journal page 

because it has expressive power and tells a story.

Altered Bottle Xmas

 Hello everyone!

 

Although Halloween is over,  these are the magical times of the year, 

we start with the preparations for christmas and 

long dark evenings invite again to tell stories.

it's a bottle in Altered Art.

 

I worked with Decoupage technique and combined this mixed media piece

 with MDF shapes, outcast's from silicone moulds and a lot of snow texture.

 

used MDF shapes from Calico Craft Parts

GD Craft O' Clock - Home Decor Age of Mysteries

 

Welcome creative souls!

 

I was invited to create some guest design projects

 with the amazing paper collections

 from Craft o' clock .

 There you can find a lot of motifs for cut out 

for all events and creative ideas. 

 

Thanks so much for your invitation!!

 

 

 

As I saw the Age of Mysteries paper collection I had the inspiration

 to use some wooden letters as base for a gift idea. 

It's a home decor piece as desk or shelf decoration,

you can attach an individual funny photo and

 it's always an interesting eyecatcher.

An individuel gift,  simple and quickly made.

I used a 20 x 20 cm background paper from this collection 

and some cut out motifs, which were  supplemented 

with suitable cutting dies and two metallic elements.

Altered Book Mystic Night with chipboards

 

Welcome creative souls!

 

 A little bit late for Halloween, I know

but our nights in November are also always very dark, 

misty and mysterious.

 

Some would also say after Halloween is before Halloween, 

but I'm not such a big fan of this event, I

 rather love the magic and mystery and the great fantasy behind it.

 

 

 I created a book in Altered Art, love this old, weathered look

it fits to a mystery atmosphäre

and invite to tell fantasy stories.

Dusty Attic  has a large selection of chipboards

 for such stories in the assortment, love that!
