Heike`s AugenBlick

 Good Morning, and welcome to my 13arts design team work for the company 13arts. It is May already can you belive it. It is also one of my favorite months of the year. Nature begins to enchant us  with lovely colors and the sun warms our soul. Finally I can enjoy my beautiful hamrock in the garden surround with bird chirping. But anyway lets talk a little bit about my page. TRENDY... A closer look to my background. I chose for my background a sheet from the In Love paper collection from 13arts. Which I covered with two layers of Clear Gesso on the front side and one layer on the  back side. After that I added Black Gesso with the silicon brush to the stencil "Spring Flowers" from the Pastel Spring collection. and I added the Black Gesso also randomly to my page. Following by White Gesso splatters. For more intrest on my page I stamped with the Vintage Letter stamp and Black Archival Ink. My next step was adding a mix from Multipurpose Gel Medium and Color Glow Emerald to ...

 A beautiful statement and quote about what can happen in the Spring month of May. Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. - Nathaniel Hawthorne- an American novelist and short story writer. His works often focus on history, norality and religion.  Welcome May and welcome my dear blog reader, for my first inspiration in the months of May, I designed for the new  13arts IG challenge a scrapbook layout in mixed media style. Our May mood board with lots of brown, rust and cream colors screams for a vintage project.   I started on a sheet of the Down Under paper collection.  Which has a red, rust colored background already. So that was perfect for what I had in mind. My stencils which I used are Tattered Diamonds and Lamps from the Industrial Zone collection. My decoration comes from different paper collections:  Industrial Zone, Magnolia Dreams and Mr: Handso...

 Hello my dear blog reader, thanks for stopping by and welcome to my design team post for the company  13arts For my second inspiration I created a Loft Style scrapbook layout on the beautiful Industrial paper collection from 13arts with lots of Industrial ephemera and Industrial fussy cut elements. I also used the amazing clock back in time stencil for my background  and the metal clock set for my decoration.  Loft Style... A closer look to my background work: As always I started with two layers of clear Gesso,  that is a perfect paper protection for the next steps. I used the clock back in time stencil with a multipurpose gel medium and Color Glow Sodalite and I added the left over medium mix with a  palette knife to my background as well. Following with randomly stamp images  and black gesso here and there . For the rust colour on my background I used Ranibow colour orange, gel medium and Acrylic liquid medium together.  I added the mix with a ...

 Hello everyone, and welcome to my second blog post for the company  https://13arts.pl/ . I created a scrapbook layout in mixed media style with the beautiful paper collections  Memory Lane  and  Rose in Love . My photo is from  https://www.instagram.com/marcin_nagraba/?hl=en  an amazing photo artist on IG. A closer look to my page: I started my background with a white wash layer and I added the white wash to my photo as well. A white wash is perfect for a dreamy look or for a shabby chic look. After that I added black gesso randomly to my background. Following by adding gel medium mixed with color glow and glitter to a stencil. The next step was stamping. After everything was dry I added my focale point and my embellishments.  These are some of the products which I used on my page. I hope you feel a bit inspired to create with the wonderful products of 13arts. Have a beautiful day. xoxo

Hello my dear blog reader, today`s sharing is for the company  ScrapFx . I created a canvas in the 25 cm by 25 cm. Photo credit:  https://www.instagram.com/baevfoto/?hl=en  fine art & portrait photographer Ukraine. At the moment I like to create some canvases for my new studio. DANCE like no one is watching... I started my canvas by adding a thorn piece of paper from 13arts. Than I added a layer of clear gesso all over the canvas. Following by stamping with black ink and black embossing powder. My next step was adding texture with a large opening stencil and a mixture  of multipurpose gel medium and color glow. This was quite a thick layer so I let it dry over night. The next day I glued my embellishments and focale point to the canvas.  Lots of splatters in gold and black came after that. I also painted my chipboards from ScrapFx with gold paint. Here are the product which I used from ScrapFx: Skull transparency Gear stamp Dance chipboard Kites stencil Tang...

For my 13arts design team project in March I created for you a canvas in the size 25 cm by 25 cm. I started my background with adding white gesso to the canvas. I used a spatular for this step. After everything was dry,  I cretaed texture on my canvas with multipurpose gel medium the stencil postcard from France and  WOW embossing powder. This looks always very pretty as texture in the background. The next step was adding my focale point and all the embellishments. I used also the multipurpose gel medium as glue.
