Heike`s AugenBlick

Hello my dear blog readers, after a really long and dry summer, autumn has finally arrived here in The Netherlands. It`s raining. How did I miss the sound of falling raindrops, the beautiful gray sky, the drooping wet branches... so it was a bit difficult for me to create a layout with the theme "beach" I was after all set for the autumn, but I did it!! Here is my layout: Take me to the sea... I used from Scrap fx: Take me to the Sea chipboard Shell Collage chipboard Ocean transparency Checkerplate stamp I also used: Prima black gesso Lindy`s spray, Paper Artsy infusions, 7 Dots Studio stickers, Distress Ink Cosa wax, Versafine Ink, Stamps from Loast cost design, de stempelwinkel NL and unity stamp company. White and black Cardstock, Gold flakes. Photo Pixabay. The next projects are art journal pages, with the size 12 cm by 20 cm and 25 cm by 30 cm. Surprisingly, I am developing a passion for journaling...

Wenn das Laub sich verfärbt, nimmt es der Wind: Wer nimmt die Liebe, die zu welken beginnt? Keiner sie mehr dem Froste entführt, der in den Nächten rauh sie berührt.

Hello my dear blog reader, today is my turn to inspire you with my dt member projects. I created three art journal pages. For a short time I have completely fallen for art journaling. That`s because I am currently trying a new style and new techniques, and the art journal is perfect to try new things and techniques. In the moment I am fascinated by abstract collage ,  abstract painting with acrylic or watercolor or geometric shapes. Here are some artist that I love. Jane Davies, here is the link:  /janedaviesstudios Etienne Gelinas, here is the link:  etiennegelinas Rafael Araujo, here is the link:  rafael-araujo. I am also interested in the meaning and symbolic of colors and stamp images. I also love to leave a lot of white space on my page, I think the effect of the white spaces is impressive and has much more dramatic. And by the way, the art journal does not need so much space for storage:). Here are my dt member art journals ...

Hello October, hello Autumn.... I will start this blog post with a song from Susan Boyle.. Enjoy listening.... One of the most beautiful Autumn songs and a wonderful start in the new month... A new month with fantastic challenges like the challenge  on the blog from Scrap The Boys. Here is the link:  scraptheboys. We invite you to create a layout with this mood board.  I love this color combination...pink and blue... Fishing.... Like most of the time I created  my layout on white cardstock. The only color I needed from the mood board was the color "PINK". I combined the color pink with  pink / orange transparency from ScrapFX. Actually the transparency comes clear, but I added on the backsite  Rangers Alcohol Ink for color transparency.
