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 and welcome to my  ScrapFx art journal inspiration. This time I was inspired by a quote from  Kurt Vonnegut, an American writer, known for his satire and black humor  through to his science-fiction novels. "And I urge you to  PLEASE NOTICE when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, If this isn`t nice,  I don`t know what is". -Kurt Vonnegut- I love art journal pages that I make with watercolor, they are easy to make and they are also good for learnig how to use watercolor. In contrast to my 3D effect scrapbook pages in mixed media style I like it when my art journal pages are flat. But anyway. Here is my ScrapFx inspiration for you. Please Notice This... This is quite a simple and easy art journal page on a DIN4 watercolor paper sheet. I started with the ScrapFx stencil crosshatch and a thick layer of 13arts multipurpose gel medium which I covered in yellow embossing glaze. After the embossing glaze heating was done. I added 13...

 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

My background paper is from the Magnolia Dreams paper collection  and I used the paper sheet:  Sweet Magnolias . My color choice for my page was light blue, dark blue and copper.
