"Stoff" für Creavil

I made this canvas a couple of month ago and I do like it a lot...
It was made at a workshop in Luxemburg with Nathalie Kalbach. I tried to follow her ways of "doing it" and I used the lovely foam stamps from Donna Downey. As I still haven't shown it here on my blog, I thought I could use the canvas as an entry to Creavils fortnightly challenge - this time STOFF=fabric. Where 's the fabric somebody might ask ... check the background...!

Wish you all a lovely weekend!

A tag for the artful times and creavil.

Creavils challenge no 52 is about "Insekten und Krabbeltiere". I used the gorgeous Crafty Individuals stamps no 033 and the plate 4 - wings.

With this tag , I also join the challenge no 27 at the Artful Times, where the theme is to use stencils and/ or masks. As I'm a big fan of Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, I used the opportunity to play with 4 different of her stencils (mini chevron arrows, mini stripes, mini paint lids and another one without me remembering its name...!).

The colours are all distress inks - sponging through the stencils - love it!

Wish you all a great and sunny weekend!

White for Creavil

This is my art journal page in white for Creavils challenge .

I used my sizzix love bird and made a collage using the swedish word "våga"= to dare.

White is beautiful, cold and frosty....and still in so many shades!

Wish you all a lovely week!

Würfel/cube for Creavil

I haven't joined the Creavil challenges for a long time now. But as  I saw the challenge theme "cube", I thought it was so difficult , I had to try...

I used old slide mounts, glued and kept together with masking tape. I gessoed over it, coloured with dylusion inks and stamped words on each side; This dice/cube will now decorate our dinner table every sunday - the idea is that one person rolls the dice and the word he/she "gets" will start a small discussion around the table. We tried it today and we did get some good laughs!!!

So here we are - my contribution to Creavils no 46 challenge cube.

See you soon with another blogpost...

My "indian summer" for Art Journal Journey

Happy monday out there!

This week could have had a better start, but who am I to complain...?

At least I can put these pages on the blog and join Art Journal Journey's theme Indian summer.

We had an indian summer a couple of weeks ago, but now warm weather is gone. We still have the gorgeous colours though and I expect it to get even better and more colourful in the end of this month.
