Something Wicked

Happy Halloween, something is wicked.

Here in Denmark, we have taken Halloween to us and the kids love to dress up.

Here are my suggestions...

I am very fond of the little owl and I think that it is both creepy and funny.

The owl fit very good for this challenge.

I have used Tim Holtz Distress ink spiced marmalade, wilted violet, ground espresso, twisted citron, vintage photo and black soot. Carved halloween stamp, layering stencils batground and zigzag. Tag & bookplates and festive greenerry die. Remnant rubs curiosities. Archival ink jet black. Boneyard.
Brusho orange, lemon, purple, black and leafgreen. Silk ribbons, flowers and button.

Continued good Halloween night

Hugs, Susan

Paper Artsy Topic 20: Triptych

All displayed triptychs on Paper Artsy's Challenge are beautiful both old and new.

Leandra from Paper Artsy and her video tutorial is great and that inspired me to this triptych.

I found a piece of cardboard to my triptych and I used my brayer and rubber bands wrapped around a wood block to make patterns. The colors are tone in tone and is from DecoArt Fluid Acrylic, Yellow, Yellow Oxide and the dark color is Transparent Yellow Iron Oxide. On the blue pages are used a stencil with birch trees and the color is DecoArt Crafter's Acrylic Brilliant blue.
The strong women is From the Past stamp of Dina Wakley.
To appease my colors I have used Titan Buff.

First I made the whole page with black gesso, when it was dry I used a stencil I have cut and used Dylusions color Crushed grape as background. Titan Buff very dilute is used as snow. Below on the bottom is washi tape.

Thanks for visiting my blog and may you have a good day.

Hugs, Susan

PaperArtsy 2015 Topic 19: Faces Challenge

I was inspired by Darcy Wilkinson's beautiful portrait of Steve Garrigan.

The black and white and the slightly diffuse gave just the puff that I did this drawing in my journal from Moleskine with black paper where I have used PanPastel and stencil for numbers and feathers.

Thank you for visiting my blog, I hope you liked my post

Art Journalling With Tim

It is a very long time since I've been on A Vintage Journey Blog, and DT have put up some amazing examples.

In my "coffee-Journal" (which still smells of coffee) I have created a page on cardboard as cover with TH stencil Flourish and Burlap with paste, I have painted with acrylic color, gesso, and blue. Various scraps from the pile and an old measuring tape found at a flea market. Scripture is from Handwritten Love die, with clear embossing powder, the picture is from Photo Booth and the small papers are from ephemera pack Expedition.

I wish you all a good day.

Hugs, Susan

Art Journal Journey - Architecture

I wanted to make a fun journal page, and it's a loose page because it is painted on watercolor paper. I could not stop, so I made two pages.

Top Hats and Moustaches - SanDee&amelie's Steampunk October challenge

October is equal to Halloween

All crafters are starting to show beautiful creations one after another. It is contagious, I also had to create a piece of holloween - with top hat and moustache.

SanDee&amelie's Steampunk October challenge

On my #12 tag I first used gesso and in the wet gesso, I have little bits of paper that the gesso acts as glue. When it is dry, I sprayed with Dylusions Fresh lime and London blue and rubbed it well into the ground. Then I stamped with Archival ink jet black and Watering Can to form different layers. Inktense Blocks, I used to make some of the colors a little deeper. Distress ink spiced marmalade, vintage photo, black soot and black embossing powder, I used to the edges and the background for the text. To highlight and give depth, I used drawing coal.

Stamps used: Andy Skinner - 7gypsies - PaperArtsy - Indigo Blu - Dylusions - HeroArts.
