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.

Hugs, Susan

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.

Autumn thoughts

Now it's time to fly away towards the south for sun and warmth.

 Da Vinci, I Love Leaves and A Little Birdie.

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

It's good that AJJ exist, and I can have the pleasure to take part in this challenge.

I have used acrylic colors from Golden and Ecoline ink, stamps from Rubber Dance Stamp and Andy Skinner, Dutch DooBaBoo stencil and Archival ink jet black and red carnation. Quote of Mother Teresa

In the Garden - Rubber Dance August Challenge

Here is my post # 2

3 meters high.

I have used black-eyed Susan Sizzix die, Tim Holtz latticework stencil, Andy Skinner stamps, Distress ink mustard seed, mowed lawn, picked raspberry, vintage photo,

black pen, an old book page and ribbons.

Wish you a very good day
Hugs, Susan

Rubber Dance August Challenge

My daughter and I were out shopping, and after we had seen on various Moleskines that were either too large or with lines and not fit for the purpose as my daughter had planned, we caught sight of a small cover for photos A6, which we bought. I went to make the book ready to be painted, stamped and got washi tape on, and then I put in a little different kind of paper, thick as thin.

I was on Rubber Dance blog to view the monthly challenge and that suited the small diary really well, with colors and nature.

Front and Back

I used gesso as the base, then dylusion colors and sand paper to smooth the sides.

Andy Skinner stamps, Tim Holtz stencil and small talk.

Washi tape and tags.

Inside holds a transparent elastic band all the small papers in place and I have put an envelope to the scraps.

The small cover (A6) from the start.

This was the colors that should be used.

Thanks for visiting my blog and I wish you a nice day
