LD2017 #1

Week 1: the inspiration word for this week is NEW and the art challenge is to try a new technique or product, something you have never done before.

My page for this week:

This is what i did: coloring fabric with wet rusty nails ;)

With a little imagination you can see the rusty spots on my fabric. Not so very good, but it is what it is...

Here are the easy steps for my page: 

1. Modeling paste

2. Tissue paper (i stamped on it)

3. I used gel medium (you can paint on it)

4. Gesso (only on the hearts)

5. Paint

6. Glaze and paint. 

7. Cleaning with babywhipes after 1'

8. Details: glossy accents

X-mas cards step by step

My X-mas cards are ready...finaly ;) Almost 100 ready to sent or drop in my friends mailboxes

Here are the steps

1. Background. I embossed 100 cards

2. Painting. First layer with distress stain

Second layer with golden Raw Umber and babywhipes

3. X-mas trees. 100, why not...

I used old scrapbookpaper (leftovers) 

I did some Glossyaccents on every paper piece (oh yes...crazy? Me??)

My trees are ready but oh so white...mmm not my style so...

...a layer Raw Umber on every tree... 1 done...99 to do

And dirty fingers.

4. Details:  little pearls

5. Stamping. I stamped Merry Christmas and a little border on paper leftovers. 

6. I used tape (not glue) for the trees and stamped details...

X-mas cards try out #2

Still working on my cards...here some sneaks:

inspired by art

For this canvas i used gesso as basic. I started with the letters (glue it on the canvas) and after that a little  true snow.  Above the gesso and the true snow there is a lot of dylusionink. Ink, water, ink, water,... 

 its not finished... but i don't know what to do more with the letters... painted them black or ???

The heart is a cardstock painted with aquarelwasco's, dylusionink and cracklepaint. After the wasco's i put glossy accents on the heart, let it dry and painted it with the dylusioninkspray (and a lot of water after i glue the heart on the canvas)
