Summer Home Decor- Anchor

 

 Hello everybody!

 

Today a new Homedecor inspiration.

I used a mixed media board as base and created it in grunge rustic style.

Combined some of my favourite shapes with outcasts from moulds

(lighthouse and boat).

Everything should appear a bit dilapidated, old and forgotten. 

For this look I chose some rust-like colours, complemented with different textures.

Underwater Fantasy with 13arts

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

 Have you seen yet the backside from the cover 

'Industrial Zone'??

Chains are a perfectly background for all steampunk fantasies!

 I was thrilled to create a canvas in sea inspired mixed media style.

 

Combined cutting dies, silicone moulds, the very thin chipboards, great!!

 from 13arts,

with a lot of textures and faux rust effects.

Snail Mail with 13arts

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

I was in love from the beginning 

in this realistic looking 3d frame from 

the collection 'Industrial Zone' from 13arts.

It looks so lifelike and the grunge style in rust is really awesome!


 

I used the backside from a canvas as base, 

cut out the centre piece and glue it

on the frame.

Rustic pipelines are also a cutout from this great paper collection,

 Simply put together and lightly overlapped, they look like a real thing,

doesn't it?


 

 combined with some chipboards from Dusty Attic, cutting dies,

flowers and dried floristic materials a perfectly combination for me and my theme

Snail Mail - Botanical Steampunk Garden

 

used 13arts products

Industrial Zone 

 



 

some details






 

I hope I could awaken your imagination and inspiration.

 

Happy creating!

Artsy fishes with 3D effect

Welcome crafty friends!

Today a new inspiration with an awesome stamp from Scrap FX. 
It's a mixed media canvas with two stamped fishes in black and white  
which look like Ying and Yang .




  

The background was made with white crackle paste, black and white acrylic colour
and some stencils. 

 some details


stamped with black Archival ink pad on watercolour paper


another fish was made with the second reprint 



both were cut out and worked with the same technique as seen on the next project 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

My second inspiration is a cover for a new planner.


 some details


I stamped the Koi fish on a watercolor paper and used some distress inks for painting and a black fineliner  for some accents.


The fins were additionally covered with Crackle glaze transparent.
Then I cut out the fish, the fins were slightly cut to shape it better with the help of a pencil.

  


 some stencil background techniques with stamp ink pad
 and transparent glass beads

 Happy crafting!

ATB in Steampunk Style

Hello!

Es ist wieder Zeit für eine neue Inspiration für unseren Steampunk Challenge.
Entstanden sind zwei sogenannte Artist trading Blocks ?! klingt nach mehr ;-)
Eigentlich sind es zwei quadratische Geschenkboxen im Mixed Media Stil. 
Zum Einsatz kam wieder eine Faux Rust Technik mit DecoArt Acrylfarben, die einfach immer perfekt zum Steampunk passt.


Zusätzlich habe ich mit lufthärtender Modelliermasse einige 3D Elemente abgeformt, wie das Gesicht, Uhr und die Hände und ergänzt mit ein paar Metallelementen (Zahnrad, Flügelherz, Sterne, Kugellager, Miniglühbirne) .





und da mir das immer noch nicht genug Struktur war, wurden die Seitenflächen mit Dekosteinen, Fadenresten und mit selbstgemachtem Rostpulver erweitert


ich nutze dafür solche Stahlwolle Putzkissen, die man in kurzer Zeit zusammen
 mit Salz und Essig an der frischen Luft rosten lassen kann, 
nach ca. einer Woche lassen sie sich in einem Mörtel mit Stößel
pulverisieren


Schaut euch auch die Projekte meiner Teamies an, 
das ist immer sehr inspirierend und lehrreich!!
und Mitmachen lohnt sich,
versprochen :-)!

Schönen Sonntag!

Scrap FX Creativity

Welcome!

Today two new inspirations with some chipboards and stencils from Scrap FX.

As I saw the wordlet 'Creativity contagious - Pass it on'  I thought yes that's right and very suitable for an art journal page. I chose an grunge altered style with only few colours on a torned cardstock.
With stencil 'Splat Stencil'
and some background stamps, washi tape and a wonderful photo collage a right combination for me.
Creativity has a lot to do with experimenting and trying out new ideas and so it's always a pleasure to create new inspirations with the awesome products from Scrap FX.


++++++++++++++++++

.......and the next mixed media project, it's a canvas in steampunk style. I love this very creative style, it's always a new adventure to combine a lot of various materials and textures.

Create your own sunshine is the titel of this project.
