HoHoHo ! Défi Magenta - Challenge

Bonjour!

Ce gentil père Noël a été réalisé pour répondre au Défi sketch carte de Magenta.
J'ai travaillé avec une technique de Magenta que j'aime beaucoup c'est à dire les stencils mais aussi les stencils fait à l'aide de Pell off de Magenta.
Mon Père Noël, une étampe de Stampit est retiré du marché ce qui le rend encore plus précieux!
Rubans, découpes et petites pierres Bling complètent le tout.
J'ai utilisé les encres Adirondack Cranberry et Denim.  J'ai  utilisé le Glossy accents pour donner du relief à mes découpes de pochoir .
Qu'en pensez vous???

Hello
This gorgeous Santa card (not my card but my stamps LOL) was done to enter a Sketch challenge from Magenta.
Here I used a tech from Magenta stencils from Peel off and their beautiful stencils
My Santa is a retired stamp from Stampit.
I used Adirondack inks in Cranberry and Denim for stencilling. I also used Glossy accents on my die cuts to add texture.
Ribbon, Bling and dies cuts (made from the stencil)
What do you think about my card???

Papillon-Butterfly Thank you

Simon dit - Simon says

Bonjour mes amies

Cette semaine le défi de Simon dit (Simon Say's) consiste à utiliser les encres Distress de Tim Holtz... Ce fut assez simple pour moi puisque j'ai utilisé les cartes faites lors de mon dernier atelier avec Magenta.  Une seule carte peut être inscrite au défi j'ai choisi la première qui est ma préférée.  J'ai beaucoup aimé travailler avec les pochoirs, je pense que l'effet est unique. La deuxième carte est aussi faite en utilisant des Peel off comme stencil, j'ai beaucoup aimé cette technique simple mais qui laisse place à la créativité de chacune.
Bonne semaine à toutes




Stamp:  Magenta
Inks:  Tim Holtz distress:  Pine needle, Dried Marigold, Denim blue

Hello my friends

This week's Simon Says challenge is to create with Tim Holtz Distress inks... here are two cards that I did.  I will use the first one for the challenge.  The technique on the first is to work with stencils and on the second one it's still stencils but using peel-off as stencil... I was fun to do.

Have a great week!

A very simple card for Christmas

Défi - Challenge Get sketchy

Bonjour

Encore un autre défi... Je trouve très stimulant ces défis que l'on retrouve un peu partout sur les blogs... Quoi de mieux quand les idées nous et qu'on a le goût de s'amuser!
Celui -ci s'intitule " Hidden image" soit image cachée... Ce qui m'a le plus plût dans ce défi c'est de renouer avec mes encres à l'alcool... J'ai tendance à oublier parmi tout le stock que j'ai certain outils qui sont bien agréable à travailler!  Le principe de cette technique consiste à faire un fond avec 2 couleurs d'encre et d'étamper avec de l'encre argent ce qui fait que l'image est bien dissimulée.  J'aime beaucoup le résultat!

Hi
Yes, another challenge "Get Sketchy Card"  what better to stimulate your inner artist than all those challenges found on several Blogs.
This one is " Hidden image" technique from TJ.  I was really happy to do this one because I had to use my alcohol inks that I seem to forget I have among all my other stuff...!
I like a lot the results!

Have a great day!

Une passion.... Passion!

Bonjour!

Je dois dire et même que quelques amies le savent j'ai une passion pour tout ce qui est asiatique... Alors, voici une carte que j'ai fait il y quelque temps mais que je n'avait jamais fini.  C'est fait!  Grâce à une bonne amie à moi j'ai appris à faire du " Iris Folding"  et j'ai réalisé ce beau montage!  Dites moi ce que vous en pensez!!!!

Good day my friends!

You might have guessed that I love all that is Asian...!  I had done this card a while ago.  A friend of mine showed me how to do Iris folding and with this acquired technique I've been able to realize this nice card!
Let me know what you think about it!

Technique by design artwork

Good evening

This is my Technique by design artwork.  I've enjoyed doing this one, I especially loved doing the "Distress Glue" technique from Oct/Nov Technique Junkie Newsletter.  I went to the Scrapfest Show in Oshawa last weekend and this is where I got this adorable Giraffe stamp.... I wanted to use it for this challenge.  I'm pretty satisfied with the results. 


 

 
A few close up of the Distress Glue Technique developed by Jane Bosi.  Thanks Jane this is fun to do and provides beautiful background!

I'm always happy to read your comments.  Thank you for taking the time to stop by!!!

Paper tole

Bonjour mes amies...
Un autre défi... J'ai participé à ces défi c'est très stimulant et motivant...(même s'il n'y a pas de récompense)!
Celui-ci est Technique Junkie et le nom de la tech est Paper Tole , il s'agit de doubler certaines parties de l'étampe.  Pour colorer j'ai utiliser mes Tombow...et j'ai utilisé le Diamond Glaze sur les parties doublées et je me suis rendu compte qu'il s'est produit un craquelé... merveilleux pour ce genre de dessin.

Hello my friends...
An other challenge... I love them it's stimulating!  This one is from Technique Junkie (June 03).  After coloring with my Tombows I have applied Diamond Glazed on the parts that have been doubled and realized that when it was dry it was crackled... great for this kink of stamp.

Stamp:  Great Impressions
Tombow: Lavender pot 076, 098 , rosemary tree pot 636, 623.  Box wood pot 992, 990, 947.

Défi Magenta " Woff, woff"

Bonsoir (English follows)

Voici ma participation au défi Magenta... Il est tellement mignon!

Réaliser avec une étampe Magenta (acheté chez Mimi à la carte) que j'ai peint avec mes crayons encre Tombow et que j'ai accentué en doublant le coeur, la tête et le pot.  Un bout de ruban, des attaches et un fond réalisé avec des éponges et les encres " Distress " de Tim Holtz couleur, Worn  lipstick, Peeled paint, Faded jeans et Vintage photo.  Les tourbillons du bas ont été fait avec un pochoir de Magenta et  l'encre Worn  lipstick. Ma carte est prête à être affichée sur le Blog de Magenta . Souhaitez moi bonne chance!

Hello my friends!

Here is mycard for the Magenta's challenge... Ins't he sweet!!!

The stamp is from Magenta painted with Tombow watercolour markers.  The background has been done by sponging Tim Holtz " Distress " colors: Worn  lipstick, Peeled paint, Faded jeans & Vintage photo.  The flourish have been done using a Magenta stencil and Worn  lipstick. Ribbon, brads et Voilà!  My card is ready to go on Magenta's Blog .

Wish me luck!

Hello my friends
I just retuned from a nice vacation in the Georgian Bay.  It's our last trip for this year!!!

Now that I'm back I wanted to try a few techniques from the "Technique Junkies Newsletter". 
The first one I wanted to try is the "Ice Crystals" .... I love the technique but I don't like the scanning of it .... all the pinks are the same hue but when you look at it they seem all different.... :-((......!

Stamp :  Magenta
technique:  Ice Crystals
embellishments: flower, brads and pearl drops



I did not put the mixture on a plain color cardstock, instead I have used some watercolour ink splash (my tech) that I had to see if it would come out ok... the ice crystals are perfect I hope it will show on the picture.

Thank you for letting me vent and show... LOL!

Have a great day

My Sketch by Design entry

Hello

Once a month Technique Junkie group has a Sketch by Design challenge. This issue"s sketch had a 5 -1/2" by 5-1/2" base card where we must have at least one of the TJ technique.

Stamp from Magenta.

I'm sooooooooooooooo happy

I can't believe it ... I sold my first book today. In my post on " Bird Journal " I mentioned that I left the handmade book to a small shop for sale. I was hopping they would sell it but I was realistic!!!! Well they did and I can't tell you the feeling to know that someone loved my work enough to buy it... I never sold anything before.... it's hard for me to let go of what I create.

Who ever you are if you read this please know that you made me a very happy girl!!!

Pamphlet note book

RE-CYCLE, RE-USE, RE-BIND are the key words in this project.  Full of humor and whimsy, this “going green” project was such fun to style and build. The note book itself is done from a found packaging, the cover was reinforce and binded using the long stich.  Instead of just shopping for what’s in the package, now I also shop for the packaging as well.

Watered Watercolor Pencils quote card

This easel card was done using the " Watered Watercolor Pencils" (12-03) technique from TJ. It's an easy and fun technique and a nice way to make a different layout.

A wonderfull adventure and a new dimension to my Art

Hello

This winter while I was in Florida I took classes at the Owl and the Pussycat stamp boutique, Regina is a wonderful artist and makes the most beautiful Art projects.  Among those is "handmade artbooks".... I never thought I would become so passionate about this, at first it even scare me it seemed so complicated.  But, with Regina as a teacher and lots of patience I overcame my fears and am now mad about those.

The one you can see above " Sheer Delight" is my first, the it is done with the Coptic stitch, the cover and back is made of several layers of fabric and ornaments it has a Vintage look. It's a book of 8½ X 6 and has 64 writing/decorating pages.

I have an other one completed and will post it soon.

It does not mean I will stop my Cardmaking but I will combine these two form of art.

Hello

Have you been working with "Grunge Paper" from Adirondack.... I did and I love it!

A taste of Vintage!

I love all that is Vintage you can see it in those cards....

At last....

Hello

They say it's never to late to keep promises... well it took me a while but finally I am now taking some time to update my Blog... and, believe me I will try to never let it go for sooooo long.

During the winter I have not been very active in card making.  We where in Florida for 3 month and manage to take a cruise through that... It was awesome!!!

Simple but fun cards where done  using TJ technique " Faux Designer Paper " (12-08).  I did a full sheet and used it to make several cards.

Happy Easter!

In the meanwhile be safe and take care!
