Here is the link:  https://morethanwordschallenge.blogspot.com/ Our challenge is: Paint as creative challenge , and Hero for our word challenge. This is my inspiration for you. BATMAN.. Heike: For the June challenge I decided to make a layout with my HERO of childhood. Who hadn't dreamed in his childhood of having the powers of a "super-HERO". I dreamed that I am very strong and brave without fear. My super hero was "Batman". I created my page from the "Young and free" paper collection from 13@rts. I used for the creative PAINT challenge also 13@rts products, mostly Color Glow.  And here is the Mood Board My paper choice from 13@rts. 13@rts is also sponsor from MTW. Have fun with the challenge. Happy creating, and I see you on the blog from MTW. Until then  Heike

 hello everyone, and welcome to my single blog post for the company 13@rts. Here is the link: http://13arts.pl/ Finally the the rainy days are behind us and the warm weather pleases us here in The Netherlands. My garden like a little bit a green jungle and I spend every free minute in my beautiful garden. I am also happy I became my first Biontech/Pfizer vaccination and my second I get it in July.  Our lockdown situation is in phase 2 from the reopening. I hope that is a good sign, and we became a normal live back.  But anyway, I have voor you a clp-board mixed media project as inspiration.  DOCUMENTED... A closer look to my project. A short description about my background. I started with adding black gesso from 13@rts to the front and back site of my clip-board. After that I added the rust powder products to the metall clip element of the board. I let the rust powder work over night for a good rust effect. The next day I glued paper first to my board and than I adde...

 Hello everyone, and welcome to my first blog post in the month June. I have for you three art journal pages as inspiration. Long time I only needed watercolors to bring the so called finsh-touch on my project. But at the moment I love to create and paint with them.  I have lots of different watercolor brands so as Schmincke, van Gogh, Winsor Newton, Old Holland Prima Marketing and 13@rts. Each  watercolor brand has its advantages and disadvantages.  I still love everything about my different watercolors. So let`s start with my inspirations. Broken Crayons still Color... First I started adding the new collage paper classifields.. After that I stamped with the new stamp zinnia and the 9dots stamp in light pink watercolor. And then I scribble with a red gel pen around the 9dots stamp images. Yellow watercolor was my next step and then stamping with black ink. The next step was black watercolor and then I added the transparency and  the collage paper title. Splatte...

 Hello everyone, and welcome to my blog. Todays blog post is all about the stamps from 13@rts. I love stamps, I have more stamps as shoes :). I have clear stamps, rubber stamps, soft-foam stamps , wood stamps  and handmade stamps. I keep my stamps in an old cabinet from 1930 and  I have keep my stamps according to companys or topics: such as animals, natur or people. My favorite mediums for stamping is of course Ink. Distress Ink, Oxide Ink, Archival ink, Versa mark ink, Versafine and StazOn ink. But I also try other mediums so as the 13@rts watercolors or Color Glows and acrylic colors as well. The stamp image on my mixed media projects do not have to be perfect,  so for this I use the stamp without a clear block.  For a good stamp image I used the Tim Holtz stamp plat- form. 13@rts stamps are clear stamps and each new paper collection comes also with new stamp images. Of course I have my favorite stamps of 13@rts  and other companies as well always in a b...

 Hello everyone  and welcome to my second blog post in the month of May. I created an art journal page and a scrapbook page. I had so much fun with creating this inspiration for you. I bought the new paper dolls from Tim Holtz. I knew immediately that I wanted to combine this men's group in vintage style,  with the scribble figures of Scrap Fx. So let's start. A closer look to my page. I created my layout on a paper-sheet from 13@rts which I covered with clear gesso first. Than I started with adding color. Therefore I used the acrylic colors from Decoart. After adding my color I started with stamping. First with Archival Ink in green and after that with black. My next step was adding black gesso and asemic writing with a white pen. After that I added the transparency men`s washi tape black spatters  and the kraft paper words from ScrapFx. My next inspiration is an art journal page. On this page I played with my watercolors in blue and yellow, black gesso, transparenc...
