Scrap Fx second blog post in the month of October

 Hello everyone, 

and welcome to my second blog post for the company ScrapFx Australia.

I created for you two scrapbook layouts in mixed media style.

Let`s start with Twiggy....

A closer look.

Technique:

For a beautiful watercolor effect on the chipboard it is important that you add white Gesso first.

The Gesso ensures that the watercolor is not absorbed by the chipboard and the typical

watercolor look is visible. I always dry my watercolor chipboard over night. Finishing touch:

Finnabair wax, Vintage Gold. I used also: Gesso and watercolor 13@rts and the beautiful

ScrapFx chipboard: Floral frame.

My paper from 13@rts is called: Unforgettable

My next layout is called: Vision...

A closer look:

I used for my two layouts:

Mixed Media Layout "Beautiful"

Hello my dear reader,

finally my favorite season of the year started, I am so happy.

October,  the start of the fall season.

Alexander Smith`s quote circumscribes the new month perfectly:

"In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those 

of a fine October".

I really love it when the wood sidewalks are covered with leaves on my morning hike.

The smell of baked apple with marzipan, hot chocolate and pumpkin soup is filling my house.

Soon the shelves will be filled with the first Christmas candy and first Christmas decoration.

So exciting!!!

But anyway, I have for you a scrapbook layout in mixed media style.

I created my page on the new paper collection Bella and Sunrise.

What I really love is to combine different paper collections.

For this page I was also inspired by the October challenge Mood Board.

Please look at the sidebar for the current challenge from 13@rts.

Beautiful...

A closer look.

Here is a short description of my background.

I like to create with two strongly competing colors. 

In my case on the page the dark blue paper from the Sunrise paper collection and the 

light gray/ white Bella paper collection.

I torn the Sunrise paper and glued on the Bella paper, after that I added two layers

of clear Gesso.

My idea was that the dark side should get texture and the light side should stay flat.

So I added under the transparency a layer gel medium to one of the new stencils of 13@rts

and I covered the gel medium with two different embossing powders from WOW. 

I let the whole thing dry overnight. 

On the next day, I started with melting the embossing powder

and adding the first color layer. My color choice was burnt sienna chalk spray from 13@rts.

I added it with a plastic pipette, this is my favorite tool for adding spray color.

I applied the spray three times, always drying between the layers, for a wonderful result.

After that I added black gesso, stamp images, big black numbers and scribbeling.

Now my background was done and I started with glueing the transparency and my focale point.

I used from 13@rts:

Sunrise paper set: SUNRISE

Scrap Fx blog post #1

 Hello my dear blog reader,

Heike here from Heike`s AugenBlick and I am your host for today.

With Halloween around the corner, I decided to create a scrapbook page

in mixed media style with the theme "Halloween".

I love everything that has to do with Halloween. The decoration, the creepyness,

the costumes and and and...

It`s just so sad that Halloween doesn`t play a big role here in Europe.

My dream is: I want to spend Halloween in Disney-Land America.

That must be so cool.

How about you, do you like Halloween too? 

But anyway..

Keep calm and create

I started my layout on a paper-sheet from the "Down under" paper collection from 13@rts

which I covered with two layers of clear gesso. After my gesso was dry, I added Archival red ink

to a stencil from ScrapFx. Then I stamped with the same Archival red ink and a stamp from ScrapFx.

Archival ink becomes waterproof after drying the ink with a heat tool. Red liquid paint as teardrop. 

I made my embellishments with Tim Holtz Big DIEs. 

The coffin and my title are from ScrapFx and I painted them both with black gesso.

After that I felt I needed more stamp imges on my background. 

I stamped with versafine ink and I added to the wet ink WOW black embossing powder.

After melting the embossing powder I painted yellow spots to the stamp images 

 and I added black gesso on the edges.

Some orange pen lines and my background was done. 

My next inspiration is an art journal page.

I started my art journal page on a DIN 4 format watercolorpaper.

My first layer was turquise and yellow acrylic paint from Deco Art 

which I added with my brayer. After that I stamped with Archival ink in the same color

palet as my acrylic paint and ScrapFx stamps. My next step was adding stamp images with

 black Archival ink. After adding my focal point I painted yellow highlights and some 

yellow painted chipboards to my page. My title is  the new collage paper from ScrapFx 

which I glued on cardstock for a 3D effect.

I used from ScrapFx:

Art Inspiration rice paper

Manly Silhouettes rice paper

Art Words transparency

Circle Patterns transparency Men in Black   ABC stamps Art Deco Panel stamp Microbes stamp Flower Power stamps Number Crunch stamps Squared stamp Star Spangles stamp Zip stamp Triangle Pentagons stencil Halloween layout Circuitry Bits chipboard art journal page Chronicles of Time chipboard title Halloween layout Casket, Dracula coffin chipboard Halloween layout

More than words night and no flower main challenge

 Hello everyone 

and welcome to the new main challenge on the blog from More than Words.

Here is the link to More than Words: https://morethanwordschallenge.blogspot.com/

for this challenge I had the perfect paper in my stash. "Under the stars" of 13arts. I wrote the word NIGHT on my background. For the creative challenge NO FLOWERS, well that wasn't that difficult for me, I'm not the big flower user anyway. On the photo my daughter with her best friends. My inspiration explanation: There are two types of people. There are the early risers, the so-called lark birds and there are the late risers, the so-called owls. I belong more to the lark-birds that means that I can see little of the summer night sky because I am mostly asleep. Only in the Autumn months I can see something of the night sky and that's always something very special. I love the clear autumn starry night, it gives me a taste of the festive season before christmas.

Night...

our prizes....

I see you on the blog from More than Words.

Stay safe.

xoxo
