Secret Garden GD with Scrap and Me

 

Welcome everyone!

 

Today I want to share with you a very romance layout

 with shades of blue, purple and green. 

 

It all began early one Summer morning, in the secret garden 

 of a beautiful young maiden.

 

 

 

some close up's





 

I used a background paper and some flower, butterflies motifs

from the amazing paper collection 

'Meadows Impressions'

Love the delightful colours, they were absolutely perfect for my

nature romantic with a touch of vintage

layout.

 
 

 





I used again one of the awesome doors

 they are

a wonderful addition, 

I glued door frame and cut the purple door so that they can be opened,

photo was glued behind it.


This creates a simple, but exciting 3D effect!



 

Thanks for your visit !

Lost places

 

 Welcome creative friends!

 

As a result of our history, you often come across forgotten places on hikes here. 

In the middle of the forest you will find an abandoned clinic

 or a holiday and recreation home.

Mysterious, magical but sometimes eerie and spooky too.


 I always find it very exciting how quickly nature reclaims its field. 

 

I designed today's project with these thoughts in mind, 

a mixture of nature inspirations and the first hints of halloween thoughts.


 

It is now well known, that I love to work in a weathered worn style, or ??? 😀

 If you have specific questions about colour and texture design, 

please feel free to contact me.

Welcome creative friends!


Our monthly Moodboard is an absolutely wonderful inspiration, 

love the romance charme and the delightful colors.
 
We loved going to grandma's in the country during the summer holidays 
when we were kids. Wonderful, carefree times that we remember fondly today.
 
 
 
 

I used a matching colour background paper from 

13@arts 'Sunrise' collection.

 
 

 
 Found a lot of suitable chipboards at Dusty Attic
to country life theme,
awesome!!

A visit to the Zoo with Dusty Attics

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

 Kerstin here, to share a new inspiration layout in mixed media style

 with some beautiful Dusty Attic chipboards.

There's always a lot to see and experience on a visit to Zoo.
 
Our favourites are always the funny little meerkats. 


 

I used a tropical black and white background paper, 

tropical leaves chipboards were perfectly for me. 

They look very natural, I painted them with olive green, 

black acrylic paint and a little texture paste. After drying they were highlighted

 with green golden wax cream.

The Green Man GD Katy Sue Design

 

 Welcome everyone!

 

Der Grüne Mann

ein Symbol für die Einheit zwischen Mensch und Natur,

 steht für Strahlkraft und Lebendigkeit.

 

Die reinste Inspirationsquelle für mich, 

 bin immer wieder begeistert von diesem ausdrucksstarken Gesicht.

Dieses Mal stand die Verschönerung einer alte kupferfarbene Blechkanne auf dem Programm.

 




 

Zwei Silikonformen von Katy Sue Designs reichten aus, um damit verschiedenartige Pilze und dieses verwitterte Baumgesicht zu gestalten. 

Gearbeitet wurde wieder mit luftrocknender Modelliermasse.

 

 

Flower Pro Toadstools and Mushrooms Mould and Veiner 

 


Green Man Silicone Mould 

 



einige interessante Detailaufnahmen

 

nur aus einem kleinen Pilzstiel geformt



 

 

 Baumpilze

auch von unten ansehbar :-)






Es werden ganz sicher noch weitere Inspirationen 

mit dieser faszinierenden Mould folgen!

Colour your world 13@rts Month challenge

 

 Welcome!

 

Think outside the box was a truly challenge for me, such a lot of colours, real an explosion. 

It reminded me of those festivals where they throw coloured powders. I actually only ever use a few colours on a project and then use them in shades.

 

 

Today something different from me. I have divided the layout from the grey everyday life into the dazzlingly colourful world of art.

I used papers and cut out motifs from 'Young and Free' collection, 

Color Glow watercolours and 

RAINBOW COLOR powder paints and a 

Flower stencil (Pastel Spring)

 

I love it to complement mixed media layouts with outcasts 

from silicone moulds (Stamperia) and cutting dies (Sizzix)
