Altered wooden painter`s palette by Heike`s AugenBlick

 Hello everyone,

and welcome to my design team work.

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

I hope you had a beautiful Christmas time with lots of lovely memories.

Our Christmas time was quiet, Jörgen my handsome hubby had  to work in the hospital.

So we only had the Christmas Eve lunch with three of our four kids.

I enjoyed the time we had together. It is so sad that the time for Christmas music is also over.

I love Christmas music and one of my favorite songs is: 

"Walking in the air"

"Walking in the air" is  a song from Howard Blake created for the 1982 animated UK Christmas special "The Snowman" based on the book by Raymond Briggs. The song was sung by choirboy Peter Auty.

The song has become a kind of Christmas standard in the United Kingdom,

as the animated special has become prominent in British culture airing annually similar to

 "A Charlie Brown Christmas" in the US.

Here is a short lyric from the song.

Walking in the air

We `re walking in the air.

We`re flooting in the moonlit sky.

The pepole far below 

Are sleeping as we fly

I`m holding very tight

I`m finding I can fly

So high above with you....

Here is a link to the song:

(1) Peter Auty - Walking In The Air - YouTube

But any way:

I created for you an altered mixed media project, more precisely

a wooden painter`s palette.

A closer look:

My focal point photo is with clear embossing powder covered. I also used the little palette opening as frame for another photo which I covered with clear embossing powder also.

A short description about my background steps:

I started on my wooden painter`s palette with a layer of black gesso. After my black gesso was dry

I cut a paper-sheet from the sunrise paper collection and I glued this

 to my wooden palette with gel medium.

I protected my paper with a layer of clear gesso.

After that I cut a piece  of the travel the world transparency folie and I glued this with gel medium on my wooden palette.

After that I have added lots of texture with multipurpose medium, crackle glaze,

 modeling paste and a stencil, powertex balls and 3D powders. I let the hole thing dry overnight.

My photo image shows the wet texture on my wooden palette.

My color choice for this project was quite dark and vintage looking.

That means Color Glow powders in dark blue and brown with gold and bras should

 be the main colors on my wooden painter`s paltette.

Scrapbook layout by Heike`s AugenBlick

Hello my dear blog reader, 

Heike here from Heike`s AugenBlick, designer for 13@rts.

Not only that I am your challenge host for the month of August

(I hope you saw my mood board and find the time to take part in the August challenge).

The challenge can be found on the right side from the 13@rts blog page.

But anyway:

I am here today to inspire you to create with the wonderful products of 13@rts.

I created a scrapbook layout in mixed media style.

Here is a short description about my creative process.

As always I started with adding two layers of clear gesso on both sites of my paper sheet.

After my clear gesso was dry, I started with adding texture and color.

Therefore I mixed color glow with multipurpose gel medium

and I added the mix to a stencil from 13@rts. After that I repeated

this step with  another color from color glow. I let the whole thing air dry.

In the mean time I painted my title (cardstock-words) with yellow watercolor, cut a sheet of  the Rosalie

collection with my big shot and a DIE from Tim Holtz and I painted die cut element  also with yellow watercolor.

After my texture was dry I added paint. First black gesso on the edges. Watercolor and a mix of color glow with acrylic-medium. The next step was stamping. After that I added gold glitter with the plallet-

knife to my background. I glued my focal point, embellishments / flowers, and than I added again texture but this time a mix of gel medium and 3D flakes, sequin and diamond-dust.

Finale touch splattering and scibbeling.

My photo which I used for this scrapbook layout is from:

Sacha Goldberger, born in 1968, he is a  French photographer and writer.

Mini album by Yulya Chorna

Hello everyone! 

Today I want to show you my new mini-album which I made using "Unforgettable" collection by 13 arts. The size of the album is 20 by 11 centimetres.

It has a lot of secret places hidden within its pages. Thanks to that, this mini-album may contain up to 35 - 40 photos.

This album is designed with flat decor, but it has multiple layers with different elements which makes it quite interesting. At the same time, I think such a format is handy and comfortable to hold in your hands. 

What do you think? Please share your thoughts in the comments.

Mixed Media Layout by Heike`s AugenBlick

Hello everyone,

Heike here from Heike`s AugenBlick and I have today the pleasure to inspire you to work with the wonderful products of 13@rts.

The summer has arrived here in The Netherlands with days around 25 degrees Celsius. 

Wonderful to sit in the garden and enjoy the nature. 

I got a beautiful hammock with wooden stand from my handsome hubby. 

Now I have to be careful that I don't just lie in the hammock and read. 

Living is so beautiful if you know how to enjoy it. But anyway..

"FAVORITE"...

is my Steampunk inspired mixed media layout with a photo of my son Joshua.

A closer look.

Background steps on my page:

I started my mixed media layout on two sheets of paper called: Rosefield and the clock.

My first step was adding two layers of clear gesso. After everything was dry very well, I added a layer of a mix from acrylic medium, color glow topaz and rainbow color navy blue to my background.

The left over mix was for the chipboard decoration and for splatters. I decided to play along with the stencil dance of gears and a mix of multipurpose gel and color glow calcite. I dryed my background over night. The next day I started with painting around the gears with orange rainbow color and vivid orange. After the color was dry I added gold glitter to the gears and also to the blue colored chipboards. My last step on my background was adding black gesso with texture powder.

Now it was time for my focal point. 

I used from 13@rts:

 Rosalie 12 x 12 inch paper pad

Victoriana 12 x 12 inch paper pad

Victoriana 6 x 6 inch paper pad

Timeless Scrapbook Layout by Heike`sAugenBlick

Hello friends from 13@rts, 

I am Heike and I am your host for today. 

Now we have the month of May. What luck do we have with this spring weather.  

We spend many hours in our garden, which now shines so wonderfully in the green spring color.

And the first BBQ we have already passed.

But anyway.

I have for you as inspiration a scrapbook layout with a photo of my youngest daughter Mia.

How I start my creative process.

1. I started with two layers of clear gesso from 13arts. This clear gesso layer allows me to work with liquid products so as watercolor.

2. My second step is then always the selecting of my photo. I prefer black and white photo images.

3. Then I decide to put together my color-theme. Here I let myself be guided by my feelings of my mood of the day.

4. For a success on my craft tabel, I like to create with nature- relax music or classic music. A good cup of tea next to me.

That is what I love to do before I start with creating.
