Stencil Technique with Gesso, Ink

Inspired by Tricia's post on the

Club Scrap Create Blog

I made these cards with

gesso and distress ink.

If you want to see how it is done,

watch Tricia share the

thechnique with us:

Bolow you see my cards.

First I used different

stencils from Club Scrap.

Added the gesso and

on top the distress ink.

The stencil you see here is from

the kit Versailles August 2011

The stencil you see here is from

the kit Blossom May 2010

And these are the finished cards.

All papers and stamps are Club Scrap.

They are from various kits.

It is a wonderful and easy technique to do

and I hope you give it a try!

For more inspiration come back

for our monthly blog hop:

Record Store Day

 

Today is Record Store Day.

Records? Yes, those black circles that can be played

on a record player

before we had the cd. The music store

was a wonder place, where we listtened to

the music before we bought and were we met

other music lovers.

 

Today I made a musical card

with images and FREE papers of

Create by TLC

I colored the image with

watercolor crayons and

I cut the shape with a circle

spellbinder and the back to it

was a scalloped circle spellbinder,

In the background I used one large ribbon organza and

a thin one on top, decorated with a musical

note button fastned with a glue dot.

 

Have a creative day!

 

Hip hip hooray for Paulette!

Happy Birthday Paulette

of Create with TLC!

All of us of your DT wish you a wonderful

birthday with lots of fun, cake and presents.

Another year full of  laughter, health and

may you create until 120!

This card is created with

an image and sentiment by Create with TLC.

It is colored with pencils and

on top at the bottom of the dress

glitter glue is added to make the dress

even more festive.

The balloons are punched out

and added with double sided foam tape.

Have a creative day!

Sunday Scrap page: Birthday

Here is my scrap page for today.

It is for the Weekly Chronicles

on the Club Scrap forum.

The theme is "Silly", but honestly

I could not come up 3with anything,

so I decided to scrap my DD's 22nd birthday.

And I found a real cool birthday

subway art in the right colors of the paper.

It is free and you find it here:

http://eighteen25.blogspot.nl/2011/03/birthday-week-gift-for-you.html

And in the middle you see the birthday cake

made out of the Michael Strong

cloisonné pot and a circle accent.

Stamp the pot with orient express

embossing powder and cut

the shape with scissors.

Stamp the circle accent with

pearlescent ivory and punch out

the circles with a 1"circle punch.

You need 5 circles and the large

part of the pot.

Doesn't it look delicious?!

Hope I have given you some ideas.

All papers from the scrap page are from the

Up, Up & Away kit by Club Scrap.

Have a creative day!

Workshop Michael Strong at Art Specially Zeist

Last week there was a big

stampshow in The Netherlands:

The Art Specially Event

in Zeist.

I found a nice video

on youtube, so if you like to see more

go here:

Michael Strong was also here

and gave a free make&take

all weekend.

On Saturday he made greenhouses.

First people colored the paper with

different colors of inka gold paint.

This dries very quickly, so on top

the house was embossed with

pearlscent ivory embossing powder.

The house was cut out and  matted on

a piece of gold paper.and glued to the

card. With leave and flower punches

and the left over colored paper the ribbon

 of gold was decorated next to the house.

 

On Sunday there was a different workshop.

Chocolate card with the heart embossed with

orient express embossing powder.

Mike made me a version with the coffee

cup as well. The border of the card is made

out of different sizes circles and little

punched out hearts.

The card is ale decorated with a dark

chocolate pearl pen that leaves little

pearl dots.

 

So today I made a combination of these

two cards.

First I colored my paper with gold and red

inka gold paint by Viva Decor

Then I stamped the cloisonné heart on top

with versamark and embossed it with orient

express embossing powder. When finished the

heart is cut out.

For de border I used a few circle punches

and the heart punch.

Also I used a red pearl pen by Viva Decor.

The sentiment is by Stampin Up! (Whimsical Words).

The dots are also on the heart.

 

Have a creative day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Spring Subway Art

Every month Paulette from

Create with TLC

makes a subway art and posts

it as a freebie on her blog.

You can grab it here:

http://createwithtlc-createwithtlc.blogspot.nl/

 I made a gatefold card with it.

You can print this subway text

any size you like. Even just to add it in a

photo  frame and you can change it every month

to the latest subway art.

This is the inside of the card.

The sentiment is also by Create with TLC

and you find it HERE.

The tulips are stamped, embossed and

colored with pencil and distress ink.

They are by Michael Strong.

Another card with flowers and the

April subway art.

This time it is a folded card, that is

partly closed ( 2 inch).

Flowers are by Michael Strong and

embossed in gold. In the middle

a hole is punched and a ribbeon

goes through and tied in a bow.

Inside also a sentiment by Create with TLC.

Cose up of the sentiment.

Hope you will enjoy Spring!

Have a creative day!

CTLC coffee image

Here a wonderful new set by Paulette

from Create with TLC.

It is called:

Take Time To Vintage Image Transfer Set

and you find it HERE.

And of course I had to make something

with the coffee image.

My idea was to make a coffee cup

shaped card and I was inspired by this

video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oouz-j6i0tY

by Lorri Heiling

If you watch the video you find all

the instructions to make a card like this.

When you take of the lid of

the cup, you see a card inside.

It is a wonderful card

to add a giftcard

as a present.

Here you see all of the inside of the card.

If you do not want to use it

for a gift card, you can add

an sentiment inside.

This one is from a set called:

Coffee Take Me Away Word Art Set

you find the set HERE.

The image I have colored with pencil.

The background stamp I used on

the cup is by Hero Arts.

Have a creative day!
