Art Journal - DT 7Dots Studio

An Art journal with no title , just playing with medium like gesso and paint.
That’s when I have the best time, when I just create – without thinking

Lost in Gent - DT 7Dots Studio

Another layout for 7Dots Studio and a totally different one from my previous C&S. As I said, I don't have any particulary style and this just proves it :D In January a collegue of mine and I went to Gent for a meeting. In the evening we were out eating at three different places. First a warm soup at one place, second the main course at another restaurant and last we had coffee avec at a third place. Well…. my collegue and I kind of got lost somewhere between the main course and the dessert! So I stood all alone at this big open place, just outside this gorgeous building you see at the photo, waiting for him, talking in the phone to try to guide him to the place I was. (It all ended well, had to call the guide to find out where the rest of the group went , so she came and followed us to the restaurant).

Queen of the table - DT 7Dots Studio

It's my turn sharing some inspiration from 7Dots Studio. 

I can't get enough of the different papers/collections and love the different ways to use them! 

I've made this layout with a single picture from a pool-table , I loooove playing pool!! 

Well, I'm not the best pool-player but now and then I'm the "queen of the table" and that's so fun! 

On this page I've used different stamps by Tim Holtz and 3rd Eye together with chipboard by Blue Fern, India ink, distress stain and stencils

Summer - DT Poppydesign

Hei Poppyfans!
Den siste tiden har vi nesten hatt sommer. I alle fall her i Hamar hvor jeg bor. 

Ser i blomsterbedene mine at staudene vokser og jeg måtte bare innom et hagesenter og kjøpe meg et par blomster til å ha på bordet på terrassen.

Og så synes jeg at det var så flotte blomster at jeg måtte ta bilde av dem også :D 

Så her er en sommerlig layout fra meg, laget med ark fra Summer breeze kolleksjonen, "clear blue sky" og "at the balcony", alt fra Vibeke Spigseth - Poppydesign for Panduro.

Har også brukt stickers fra samme serie, rosa og turkis tape.

Bakgrunnen har jeg brukt gesso og en mursteinsstensil samt litt av tekststempelet fra stempelplaten.

Chipboard fra Dusty Attic og Blue Fern Studio, blomster fra ulike produsenter.

Så da håper jeg vi ser mer til solen og kjenner varmen på kroppen, det trenger vi nok alle etter denne kjølige våren vi har hatt.

Og ikke glem at vi søker etter ny Poppygirl da, les mer i bloggen til Vibeke her.

Klem fra

Ut på tur - DT 7Dots Studio

I've totally forgot to blog this layout made for 7Dots Studio. 

This layout , with a photo of me and my nephew Adrian, was fun to make. 

The different collections by 7Dots inspire me in different ways. 

The pattern papers from the Love is in the air-collection is no exeption. 

So here is a rather simple layout with two of the pattern papers from that collecton.

I used a punch to make all the cirlcles. 

Did some stamping and also used some Art Anthology paint on the background.

Art Journal - DT Scraps of Darkness

Today I will show you an Art Journal, made with the fabolous April-kit from Scraps of Darkness.  

A lot of photos from start to finish. 

I love playing in my Journals! I use them all the time, trying out new techniques, new paint, new stamps etc. And most of all I love that there are no rules!! Isn't it perfect? Just play along and don't bother with designs, rules and guidelines. 

Well, back to business as they say. This page is made in my Dylusions-journal.

  

 The page I worked on was grounded with Gesso long time ago.
I started with the stencil by Kaisercraft , included in my kit as color add-on. 

You might remember the card I published some days ago and recognize the stencil and color? Well, when I used that stencil with Distress paint on the card, I just rubbed on the rest of the paint on this page.  (there is also some spots from a previos stencil on the page as you might see.

 

I added some Distress Paint - vintage photo some random places.
You might see the canvas strip in the middle of the book? I use this in case I use too much wet medium, this canvas would protect the middle of the book and also protect the other pages underneath.
 

Then I started to cut the pattern-paper by Kaisercraft. I just fell in love with all the books, looked perfect for a journal page. 

    

Here you see how I cut the paper.

  

 Then I used gel medium to "glue" the pieces togehter on the page and used the heat tool.

I took a thin layer with gesso on top before I used the same stencil as I started the page with, with a new color this time, altso Distress paint from the color add-on.



I never clean my stencils,(only if I use medium as molding paste and gel medium) use the leftovers on a new page as I show you here. On this I used a baby-wipe and rubbed the stencil clean on my next page.
 


Now it's starting to look like a page. But, be patient, long before finished. Hope you will follow till the end.

I used a new stencil (letters) and som black ink
 


Need some more texture. Here I used some Golden light molding paste with another stencil. This have to dry sometime before I contiunue, so I had a long brake after adding this.

 


One product I have fallen in love with is Gelato and the black one in particular. Love making shadows with this! Dry or wet - cool!! Went over the page outlining the "books" and rubbed with my finger, some places dry and some places with just a little water on my finger.


A quick view on how the page looks now. Still not finished but I'm getting nearer now.



Now I need some stamps. I used two different stamps on my right bottom page. 

The lady by Dina Wakley and the gorgeous window by 3rd Eye. 

Inside the window I used both some gesso, some light blue Gelato and the "magic pencil" Stabilo All.

I am now starting to finish my page and adding details. Like the circles and added colors in the areas with molding paste.

And of course, some journaling. 

As I used the books I searched for a quote regarding reading/books and found one I liked.

Here is my finished page, hope you like it and that I haven't boored you with so many photos. (sorry, but video is not possible for me at the moment)



Here is some details from the finished page:
         






  

 Here are the different colors/paint etc I used on this page
Distress Paint, Dylusion ink, Art Anthology sorbet, Gelatos in different colors, Black magic pencil Stabil all
