It's a Wonderful Life.

 

Ik ben weer lekker bezig geweest met mijn gelato's en mijn Blazing poppies stempel van Indigo Bleu. 

Ik heb eerst stroken tekst en bladmuziek opgeplakt daarover heen een dunne laag gesso . Ik doe dit zodat de spray (die ik gemaakt heb door wat gelato in een spuitflesje met wat water op te lossen)   niet te snel opdroogt en in het papier trekt en je het beter kunt laten vloeien. Ook kun je zo wat niet naar je zin is beter wegwerken met een nat billenlotion doekje. De bloem heb ik ook ingekleurd met gelato's.. gewoon met een vochtig kwastje zo van de gelato af . Als laatste heb ik nog wat spatten gemaakt met het slangetje dat aan het spraydopje zit. Ik ben er weer happy  mee.

Art Journal...

 

So I decided to start with a artjournal I bought this strathmore journal a while ago but was afraid to ruin it ..but now I said to my self : you have to start sometime and now it's just lying there beiing a waste of money , you now have a subscription to a mixedmedia kit so go use it for that.. An do I listened to myself and this is my first page . Made with my first mixedmedia kit from Scrapdelight .

Bubbels .. love bubbles..

Making my own stencils aka masks

 

As you might have noticed I found my way into the artjournalling and mixed media. One of the  things you use for this is a mask or stencil . There are a lot of differend ones from a lot of differend brands. Hard to choose from and if you want t build a nice collection of them it will cost you a lot of money. I thought this can be done cheaper and I am the very lucky owner of a silhouette cameo , so why not cut my own masks right? So I tried cutting them from pagediveders but didn't really like the results , it was not sturdy enough. So now used laminate pouches wich I had run through the laminating machiene..the laminator..and the stencils turn out awsome! the picture shows just a few of the ones I cut out this afternoon..they are nice and sturdy and just as thick as the stencils that you buy in the shop. whoo hoo the laminatepouches I use are very cheap only a few euro's at the Action ( kind of dollarstore ) and the cameo settings I use are knife 9, speed 1 and thickness / pressure33. I won't be able to use this knife for cutting paper again but who cares! I got some great stencils now..

You never know ...
