January 2015 Guest Designer Stampotique (week4)

My 4th and last project as a Stampotique Guest designer had to be one with a painted background technique. (hosted by Corrie).

I combined blue acryllic paint with distress ink to make the background and used the Romantic Text stamp by France Papillon and brown ink on top of it.

As I am a big Frida fan (I wanted to use one of her stamps this month for sure) I choose Frida Grande by Amy Wilson and embossed her with black embossing powder.
I attached Frida on top of a piece of craft cardstock and stamped the French Journal page as a bit of a background and on top of that I stamped the word Fabulous by Carol's Collection. To finish the card I added some Tim Holtz sentiments and distressed the edges.

I really enjoyed this month as a guest designer for Stampotique and I hope you did too. Thanks for looking ! 

January 2015 Guest Designer Stampotique (week3)

The 3th theme this month as a guest designer for Stampotique is "Punny/Funny Projects" hosted by Kathi.
E.E. Cummings once said: "The most wasted of all days is one without laughter." Puns and word play always make me smile. Really good puns make me laugh.

So to make you smile (I hope) I created this "depresso coffee guy" for you. 

I folded and stitched a large tag to create a pocket to insert the small tag with "Coffee" sentiment. The background I made using clear embossing powder and France's new "Romatic Text" stamp which is lovely!  The "depresso" guy is Jammin' by Daniel Torrente. The sentiment I made on the computer and distressed it after printing  it.

It was fun making this one, hope you like it too :)

January 2015 Guest Designer Stampotique (week2)

The theme for my second artwork as a  Stampotique guest designer was "Color Splash"by Kaz. She wanted to see bright colours to cheer up the dim days of January.

I made a bright green background with some spray paints and wrote some text on top of it with a white gelli-pen. Then I stamped the hexagon stamp (Jo Capper-Sandon) on some fluo colored paper (I used Amsterdam Acrylic Fluo paints for this) with versamark  and embossed the stamp white embossing powder.

I cut out The "Metal Love"stamp (by Amy Willson Wellenstein), which I also outlined with a white pen and then glued on top of the hexagons.|The small heart on the right is the small heart by France Papillon. :)

January 2015 Guest Designer Stampotique (week1)

I am very pround to let you know I am a guest designer for Stampotique in the month January this year. 

The theme of the first week, hosted by Claudine,  is "New Years Resolution". Most of us always create a new Years Resolution at the beginning of the new year. So for 2015 I made something with a new years resolution in mind :)

For this tag I used The "When I grow up" Stamp (Carol's Collection), "January" from the months stamp set by Amy Wilson, "Weasel" by Daniel Torrente and France's French Journal Page"" for the background.

Stampotique Stamp Storage

Just a quick picture to show you how I store my Stampotique Stamps. Found this little cabinet in a shop the other day after someone else told me about it. Couldn't resist buying one too :)

I also used Gesso, some stencils, Art Anthology Red Stone Effects paint, washi tape and AA Sorbet Frost. I hope you like it :)

SDC140 Vintage

Stampotique Challenge #140 "Vintage" by France Papillion. I really like a vintage theme and I used one of my favorite stamps for this challenge, Frida grande #7138 by Amy Wilson ( Sorry France, not one of your stamps this time :) )

~~~

Uitdaging nr.140 van France Pappilion voor Stampotique met als thema "Vintage". Leuk onderwerp en ik heb me uitgeleefd met een van mijn favoriete Frida Kahlo stempels, dylusions inkt, washi tape, wat verbandgaas, stukje band en stiksels.

Textured Background SDC 137

For Kay Wallace's challenge "Textured Backgrounds" I have been using quite some different products to get the effect I was looking for. I started with a blue water color pencil, after that I applied Gelato cotton candy and then I used a stencil and a baby wipe to get the basic background. I added a layer of glimmer mist (Pearl) to give it a shiny look but of course this didn't give me a textured background so I might as well have skipped this LOL.

Next I used distress inks Broken China and Chipped Saffire and to get my texture, Clear Rock Candy distress paint. Let it dry and then applied Chipped Saffire again to get the cracks more visible.

I used the Stampotique LOVE stamp and at last I added some embellishments and a lot of white dots around the LOVE stamp.

SDC138 Green | What's the colour of money?

For this Art Journal page I started with a background of Dollar Bill Napkins glued with clear medium and gesso. After that I used several TCW stencils and different colours of green acryllic paint. 

The stamps I used for the background are Stampotique stamps 3063 Spidergrass, 3006 Hexagon and 6112 Tree. I cut out the Hexagon stamps and stitched them together with a piece of paper from an old French account book.

At last I stamped 7126 Single Tear twice on tissue paper and glued them next to each other (one of them reversed side up)

Work in progress

Werk in uitvoering! Deze 2 pagina's wil ik eigenlijk nog verder bewerken, alleen vind ik ze nu eigenlijk al zo mooi dat ik ze misschien toch maar zo laat. (Gelli Plate achtergronden met wat washi tape, stiksels en een Stampotique stempel)

These pages are actually waiting for something more but I like them so much the way they are right now that I really don't know if I'll add anything else. I think I just keep them simple, sometimes less is more :) 

Art Journal page for a Stampotique Challenge at De Craftorij

Deze art-journal pagina heb ik gemaakt voor de 2-wekelijkste Stampotique uitdaging bij de Craftorij. Het onderwerp was "hoofddeksel". Frida Kahlo heeft een hoofddeksel met de spidergrass stempel gekregen en het haar heb ik bedekt met kleine bloemetjes. De pagina afgewerkt met wat grote cirkel stempels en een chevron punch.

~~~~

For the "headgear" Stampotique challenge I used a gelli-plate background and the big Stampotique Frida stamp. I gave Frida a headgear with the stampotique Spidergrass stamp and doodled the white little flowers in her hair. Finished the page with a big round stamp and some punched chevrons. :)

Perfect Pairs challenge at Stampotique Originals Rubberstamps FB

"Perfect pairs" Voor een challenge op de Stampotique Originals pagina.

At the Stampotique Originals FB page the challenge was "Perfect Pairs" and of course I had to use the Tweedles for this. I kept it quite simple with only some background paper, washi tape, a few words and stitches.
