PaperArtsy Pigment Powders Challenges

Thank you for a wonderful tour on your blog viewing the various pigments. It was very inspiring, I had to try it, and I ordered Brusho immediately. I have a few different watercolors, but none of pigment powder, so I was very curious to know how to work with these pigments.

My Brusho arrived and I tried them straight away, here are my tests.

They are amazing and I have to practise * LOL.


In my background, I have used Rubber Dance Stamps Collage  Mix
On the edges Distress ink Vintage Photo




Thank you for visiting my blog and have a wonderful weekend.

Art Journal Journey - Through My Window #3

I think it would be great to wake up to sunshine and a whole field of flowers - right outside my bedroom window. Instead I use the large parks in the city and enjoying the many flowers and perennials that they get to grow there, so it is an advantage in many ways.

I've had fun with Dylusions acrylic colors, a charcoal  and black tush.




Thank you for your visit and I wish you a nice day.

Art Journal Journey - Through My Window #2

The eye is the window of the soul. 
the city's houses where you and I see in and out of our windows.
My # 2 version should be a bit like a dream. On my side is loaded gesso with brayer and afterwards I rubbed with watercolors.




Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you will have a good weekend.

Art Journal Journey - Through My Window

 It is a good challenge that the ladies at the Art Journal Journey September challenge, "through my window" came with.
I have long wanted to use my PanPastel, and now came the opportunity to illustrate the tree outside my window. I had already prepared a page with gesso and sprayed with a various of Tim Holtz colors. I think that it came to look neat, and I hope you too like my journal page.

The colors are distress ink and alcohol ink from Ranger and I have chosen 
May color scheme.

SanDee & amelie's Steampunk Challenge 2015 september - "Tag it!"

Have you seen the new September challenge on SASPC where you can choose from vintage, industrial and/or steampunk ?.

I think it would be exciting to try vintage with a twist ... I admire all the scrappers who make very beautiful vintage layout and boxes, etc.

To stick to two colors throughout vintage project is for me very hard, I love the colors - hmm, I'm really happy how it came to look like.
It is probably not shown on my photos how much glitter I have used. * LOL
I love Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays, they are amazing.


I started to give my #8 tag gesso, when dry, I sprayed 3x each with Buccaneer bay blue and Tawny Turquoise from Lindy's, in between I dried with the heat gun to get the blue mica forward. Tim's lace stencil was used on top with black soot ink, it gave the femine look. Everything has got the three colors except for the gauze.
Sewing machine is a Sizzlits, and I have raised it with corrugated cardboard and foamtape. The small embroidered S has got perfect pearls pewter. Some of the edges got Inka gold hematith.
Silk ribbon is sprayed with Buccaneer bay blue, Tawny Turquoise and Tim's chipped sapphire spray. PaperArtsy stamp is stamped with archival ink jet black. The small text are from 7gypsies steampunk rubbings. Fra my stash come lace, gear and a small heirloom rose from Tim Holtz.









Thank you for visiting my blog and I look forward to see all your fantastic entries on SanDee & amelie's Steampunk Challenge "Tag it!"
Hugs, Susan
